Ringed Station and mystery part

[Jr6150x]

(Sorry if this is the wrong thread, move it accordingly.)

Recently I have been In a KSP funk, and I have not played in about 6 months, although I got the game around .15~.16

Lurking around the forums as I usually do, I stumbled across ShadowZones Ring Station tutorial. As I have ALWAYS wanted to created one, I hopped on my KSP save (All stock, Always wanted to try mods but eh) and gave it a shot.

The result was this:

Sorry for the unnecessary showcase of the station. Stay with me, there is a point. I created the two rings separately, and then docked em together with two Nuke probes, which are the main point of this thread. The last 3 pictures show the probes. After docking the rings together, I deorbited one of the probes. This is when it happened. The probe body burned up as usual, and I expected everything to be obliterated, as I had no shield and it was a 300km orbit to land, in a very deep descent. However, two strange parts survived. The last one in the album. I've never seen it before. Anyone know what it is? Bug, glitch, kraken, or do I just not recognize it? Thinking now it might be part of a radiator, but i'm not sure.

Well thanks for reading this ramble about one's reinvigoratation of KSP and the strange part he discovered.

Can we have a look at what's in your GameData folder?

Thats actually the base of the radiator, it's what remains of it after it gets torn apart in the re-entry fires (or through explosion) and gets separated from the rest of the craft after the parent part explodes.

Question, what tutorial are you referring to?

You've made me curious. I know of only one Ring Station Tutorial on the KSP forum (check my signature for link) and that one is not written by ShadowZone.

smjjames looks to be correct.

I was going to say solar panels, but yeah, it's a radiator. Solar panels leave similar stub thingies.

Yeah, the gigantors and radiators have the same base piece.

Thanks for the info. I don't follow his channel so that's why I missed it.
