New cargo bays! - note that the central beam has been removed by RoverDude since this image was released.6. Heatshields!!7. Mining Asteroids!8. Let's take a closer look at that snou... I mean, drill!9. Stock fairings! I love the textures, but the separation IMO could be cleaner. Edited April 18, 2015 by Avera9eJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryer_lint Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Oooh, 2 and 3 look pretty cool. Although the wings are a bit thick by themselves... maybe they have fuel in them? And YES, I know SQUADCAST is going on as I type this. I'm too lazy to watch it alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcalplanner Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Finally, I can stop suffering and build that Space Shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Phil Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I love all of it!Especially the in-line cargo bays... Time for actual Service Modules, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impyre Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 That's so awesome!! I've been wanting round cargo bays ever since they introduced the funny-shaped space-plane bays (since I hate space planes). Although, even I admit the new intakes look cool. I may have to revisit planes once the new aero is in. Heat shields look really nice too, as does the mining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norpo Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Ooooh, mining on asteroids? Woohoo!I wonder if catching some in Kerbol orbit would be useful for grand tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solohobo Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Woohoo! Make sure you add the picture of the fairings and the mini ships in the VAB Plus, Max said the physics bubble around ships has been increased 10 times! More collisions! Kessler syndrome! Yes!

ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The ROUND-8 is staying, service modules, new songs, intakes, and heat shields?YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And YES, I know SQUADCAST is going on as I type this. I'm too lazy to watch it alrightThose wings are the small tips or canards as I take it. They also hold fuel in them.

Twreed87 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Cargo bays rule, although I hope it's possible to fit the materials bay inside the 2.5m one. I think i'd like it better without that center column (although that could be useful for radially attaching things maybe).Also, what about heat shields for spaceplanes? Or will they be naturally more heat-resistant and not need ablative coating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Could someone explain what was said about the round-8 fuel tank? and something about a yellow one.Good that SQUAD listened to the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_rolo1 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Max really posted a LOT of stuff today. So much that it is clear that 1.0 is really near release For heavens sake, he even loaded 1.0 live to show the diference in load times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Songs? Oops. I'm on mobile, auto correct thinks wings are songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KotDemopan Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 1. We saved the Lifesaver! Here's the new Xenon tankhttp://i.imgur.com/wR7RRlY.pngWe would have thought they would have made a recolor of the Round-8, and they went a step further2. Some new wings!http://i.imgur.com/gGgtn78.pngThey are... er.... intresting looking?3. Some new intakes!http://i.imgur.com/bU15FFX.pngThey look nice and worn actually.4. New cargo bays!http://i.imgur.com/5j4lSbC.pngI see potential uses, but the middle beam will ruin alot of stuff. If it has to be there, but the third cargo bay seems to say there will be a version without one.5. Heatshields!!http://i.imgur.com/UM9eLkd.pngI am guessing decouplers under heatshields are similar to decouplers under engines.6. Mining!http://i.imgur.com/Z9cA38x.pngSo, apparently meteors are mineable soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will they be naturally more heat-resistant and not need ablative coating?You know, I wonder if spaceplane parts will have ablative coating on the bottom of them. That would add to realism. The black coating model on the bottom already fits with the idea!They are... er.... intresting looking?Those wings are actually wet wings and hold fuel! Super rad.

n.b.z. Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 So for use with the Mk.3 parts we get:- bigger wings (and yes, they carry fuel)- bigger gear- bigger intakesThat somehow feels like what's now missing would be a bigger engine...?I love all of the new parts, the equipment bays are awesome!Thanks, SQUAD, for listening to the Round-8 fanclub!

genbrien Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I just saw the pic live with no audio, but I'm really not sure about the fairing.... Are they really going to have every pieces get separated? Seems a bit silly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4pt0r Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 What is going on in this image?If I 'draw' a nice rounded fairing made of a lot of points, will I get dozens of bits flying off when I separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishInferno Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 :blush:dat intake tho but really, we need 2.5 meter jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketPilot573 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I love all of these pictures! We get even fuel cells? This update is literally fulfilling my entire wishlist. The texture on the heatshields is beautiful, not a undetailed black surface like I was expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has to be there, but the third cargo bay seems to say there will be a version without one.As far as I understood Maxmaps, these are not cargo bays, but equipment bays. Meant for a lot of the small stuff that was previously radially attached (batteries, science instruments, etc.) but can now be placed in these things so it doesn't burn up on reentry.

Volodyuka Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 What is going on in this image?If I 'draw' a nice rounded fairing made of a lot of points, will I get dozens of bits flying off when I separate?http://i.imgur.com/JPlu0o9.pngand you will probably have a lot of parts in it... so yeah, better install procedural fairings mod.

Yukon0009 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yees! Heatsheilds!But shouldn't the MK1 command pod get built in heatshield, given that it has a shield-y bottom texture?And given r4pt0r's picture, I think I'll stick with wing fairings.
