MarcAlain Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm not looking for spaceplane parts, or anything not capsule like. The only one I know of so far is one of the SpaceX mods has a 7.5 meter or something pod, but I'm honestly just looking for a 5 meter pod at this point. Are there any in existence?

passinglurker Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 there is a few 3.75 pods from nova punch and Taurus HCV one could use a size adapter... could you explain more what you are trying to do? capabilities and capacities you are looking for? what are your aesthetic constraints and why?- - - Updated - - -Roverdudes FFT mod has a 5m command module for its interplanetary ship parts but that isn't exactly a reentry capsule...

MarcAlain Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I clearly already knew about the 3.75mn pods, as I didn't ask about them They're too small at this point. I'm needing to get more kerbals into orbit, and I dislike using spaceplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passinglurker Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 what are you using for your 5 meter parts and why do you need to move so many kerbals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcAlain Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 what are you using for your 5 meter parts and why do you need to move so many kerbals?SpaceY and some USI parts. I'm placing bases on every possible body not only the in the Kerbol System, but other systems using other mods. I build huge ships using extraplanetary launchpads.

passinglurker Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Have you considered any of the mechanisms available for cheating and just spawning the kerbals where you need them? another solution would be to edit config files to change crew capacity to tardis like levels the Placeholder IVA has portraits for up to 16 kerbals beyond that you'd need to go IVA'less. If none of that works for you I might have an "alternative" for you in about 2-4 hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcAlain Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've used hacked pods before, but I'd really just like to know about a part I'm surprised someone hasn't made them, considering how crazy some of us get! The 7.5 meter one in existence holds 50 kerbals? something like that. I don't even care about IVAs, just trying to get kerbals into orbit to interplanetary ships with as few launches as possible. Someday, I'll need to use that 7.5 meter pod multiple times for my first proper kerbin-twin colony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passinglurker Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 well I can jam something out real fast using one of the size adapters or nose cones and some paint by polygon space wizardry but I don't know how much better that would be to just hacking or rescaling a decent pod. people probably haven't made them this big because outside RSS they would be so excessive the ability to land with chutes would be dubious and if you go for a space plane or propulsive landing you could just use the airliner fuselages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcAlain Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yeah, true, chutes would a real problem - however, I only have to use 6 full sized ones for the Taurus or the Near Future 6 person pod. I can't imagine a 5 meter pod would really be that much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passinglurker Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 well one could cheat and control the mass of the pod but just to keep the power of diameters in perspective the tallest 1.25m fuel tank is the same size as the shortest 2.5 meter tank upping a size can matter more than one thinks if they are being realistic or conistent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcAlain Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well you'd have the space, at least to mount tons of parachutes and/or retrograde modded ejecta-trons to kill speed! haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcAlain Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Seems like that 7.5 meter pod isn't even up to date, hasn't been updated since .9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsimms606 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I had some 5m pods I was working on for use with RO. I actually just started one for stock that uses the Sr. docking port up top, if you're still looking for one. Should be done soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
