smjjames Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Everything is awesome, holy crap!I wish Max could have stuck around a little longer to answer whether fairings HAVE TO come apart like that. It would be a but silly and unrealistic, not to mention unattractive.Other than that, this has to be the best Squadcasts I've ever seen.I did manage to ask Kasper whether the fairings were persistent and he said that he couldn't confirm or deny.

r_rolo1 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 @ObsessedWithKSPYou forgot to mention that maxmaps showed the massive difference in load times between stock 0.90 and the current 1.0 build live ... and also the fuel cells. But good work as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudgetHedgehog Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'm not convinced that we won't get tidier fairing separation. Max isn't known for being a good designer, as evidenced by his craft in the stream. I doubt Harvester would stand for such unrealistic, debris-strewn separation events, given the other more realistic things slated for 1.0.IIRC, the fairing parts are considered the same as broken solar panels - they exist, but once they go beyond the physics bubble, they are deleted forever. Temporary debris, no Kessler Syndrome here.Also yes, pls merge this thread into my Summary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alshain Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yeah, its not any kind of deal breaker or anything, but the fairing separation bugs me. I mean, it doesn't look like anything realistic at all. There aren't a lot of real pictures of it, but there are plenty of mock ups that NASA and other space agencies have put up, and it just doesn't look right.Like I said, it's not enough to make me not use them... just strange.

Valdon Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I like the thumbnails, but they seem a bit small, there anyway to have them open up in a larger window if you select the ship in question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good work as always the load difference is in there, the line just above the smiley face in the OP.also: Utility bays? more like Rover storage!

Twreed87 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hate to harp on the one negative thing, but the fairing separation is kind of a bummer. The way fairings separate for real is just so cool looking.Love the equipment bays though. Been wanting those forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alshain Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 also: Utility bays? more like Rover storage!Definitely a multitude of uses, though I'd still like to see a cargo bay that looks good with the Mk1 fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 There was an awful lot of awesome in that Squadcast! So many cool parts and mechanics revealed. Fuel cells! Ablative heat shields! I don't like to casually throw around the h-word or buy a ticket before I know where it's going, but I may have to talk to the booking office.

Kerano Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Regarding the new cargo bays, are they always transparent or only on mouseover? Definitely looks like the transparent one in the screenshot has the mouse on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusTurbo Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I did manage to ask Kasper whether the fairings were persistent and he said that he couldn't confirm or deny.I don't care whether they're persistent, I just want them to come apart in two halves, nor a million pieces. It's all about the look for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klgraham1013 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 You forgot to mention that Max showed off the decoupler bug.Also, not a fan of the fairing separation. Other than that, some pretty good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks like the transparent one in the screenshot has the mouse on it.If the same mechanic used by the fairings, I believe only on mouseover (subject to change or correction).

Twreed87 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Did anyone catch the part about ore just being all-purpose for now? Right now it can be turned into anything, but that may not be the case later? I'd noticed when they first showed off the narrow-band resource scanner that there was a part that said "Resource: Ore" as if perhaps there could also be other resources. Pretty excited about that. I'm hoping they add a resource that can be collected and turned into life support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Phil Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I already have a ship design...Docking port.... two 1.25 meter equipment bays.... decoupler.... Mk1 Command Pod.... heatshield.... decoupler... 1.25 meter tank with solar panels on side.... an LV-909... and a final decoupler for sep from the booster rocket. All wrapped in a fairing.Maybe we could put sepratrons on the fairing pieces so as to get rid of them ASAP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotengineer Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 About the cargobays, they appear to have a floor and ceiling which would prevent stacking, am I seeing that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing stopping you from putting stuff on top of other stuff anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alshain Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 About the cargobays, they appear to have a floor and ceiling which would prevent stacking, am I seeing that right?Thankfully. That's one thing I hated about the 6S compartments, trying to get stuff to radially attach inside them was a real pain because they had no floor. If you need bigger, an interstage fairing is likely what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
