Inflatable Cabins and Bladder tank

[Jappards]

I find some parts not efficient in terms of space that is actually used, so when I am not using it, I would like to be able to fold it up and save space.

Inflatable Cabins

Inflatable Cabins(not talking about MK2 crew cabin) are able to be inflated to use and once you inflated them, you would be able to use them like you normally would. The difference between the deflated version and the inflated version is the height, diameter is uneffected. In order to inflate an inflatable cabin, you need to fill them with compressed air(A new recource). Compressed air is what you put in tanks. Inflatable Cabins are able to contain crew, some are even able to function as labs. When there are kerbals inside an Inflatable Cabin, you would not be able to fold it up until the kerbals are out of the Cabin again. When a part is deflated, air is put in the tank again. Inflatable cabins don't contain a hatch so the only way in is crew transfer. List of new parts:

Inflatable lab;

Height: 1 mobile processing lab.

Radial size: Large

Crew: 2.

Compressed air required: 800

Inflatable storage container;

Height: 1 HSC.

Radial size: Large

Crew: 4

Compressed air required: 450

Inflatable Sleeping Quarters;

Height: 2x HSC.

Radial size: Large

Crew: 12

Compressed air required: 900

Bladder tanks

Bladder tanks are a type of fuel tank that shrinks in height when fuel is drained from it. When fuel is put into it, it will become bigger in height.

Compressed air tanks

Compressed air tanks store the compressed air you need to inflate these parts. These are usually filled when you are launching these modules into space, but you are able to use a compressor(new part) to convert intake air into compressed air and store it in tanks, in order to do so, the air must be breathable. List of air tanks:

Mounted compressed air tank: 300

Tiny compressed air tank: 650

Small Compressed air tank: 4000
