On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: It needs a version without some dependencies: stock fuels, separate and stock variant parts instead of b9switched. No can do, the stock fuels and variant system isn't capable of accomplishing what we want in the mod. On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: The parts (Pa) are too unkerbal. Some changes/patches/fixes needed. Hidden attachment nodes, integrated things, etc., just to recreate the historical missions. This is KSP, man! More flexibility (Fb), man! Flexibility is the reason why we have things like extra nodes. If you're not capable of recreating the historical missions there isn't much of a point in making historical parts? On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: Especially the Apollo: Have you nerfed the engines just for it to be suitable for the Mun only? ~Fb The engines in the mod actually use the real-world ISPs (because the Kerbal ISPs are based on real ISPs enough for using the real ISPs to work out) On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: Glowing windows are wrong color I actually am not sure what you mean - is it all parts or just some in particular? On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: Remove the parts that are available separately: e.g. antennas on the sina mem. ~Fb The MEM, since it really can only go together one way, had most of the stuff integrated to make it easier for people to build. On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: Hollowable service bays (as in the making history) ~Pa ~Fb Not interested, use something like Universal Storage 2 (which has their own version of the Apollo and Gemini SM). I might remake the service modules to be more realistic, but they wouldn't be stock service bays (which I dislike).

On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: Switchable textures on some parts (read, toggleable gold foil on gemini service module) Is that the only thing you're looking for?

On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: Mercury A-D prototype parts ~Pa Not really interested, I've thought about doing stuff like the little Mercury/Agena lab but there's just no real point in trying to expand Mercury that much compared to expanding on the Gemini and Apollo stuff. On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: Mercury Mk2 ~Pa I've seen people make some really cool Mercury Mk2 with the Gemini and Mercury parts. On 1/18/2019 at 7:03 PM, Gapone said: Also, why are the markings are written by russian letters? It's in keeping with the Tantares = american companies / BDB = russian design bureau joke.

OK, but can't you make hollow structural shrouds in the shape of these service modules? As of US2, I'm trying to keep my game with least mods, and US2 can't embed engines/RCS/docking ports.

MaverickSawyer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Gapone said: They are just suggestions and requests. It's the fact that the manner in which you made them that is demanding and aggressive, rather than "hey, any chance you could add X, Y, and/or Z to the pack down the road?" Please keep in mind that Cobalt (and all the other mod makers, for that matter) are making these fantastic packs free of charge, which means that they owe us nothing. It doesn't take much to make them feel unwanted, and then there's no more new parts. I'm sure that all the old-timers around here can name multiple examples of this. You've not been around nearly as long, so I'll let the attitude slide this time. Also, nothing says you have to use the pack as-is. One of the best aspects of KSP is just how easy it is to mod things... Just open the .cfg file in Notepad and start tinkering to your heart's content. If you don't like the fuel mix used by an engine, nothing is stopping you from changing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesecake Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 @GaponeBluedog is one of the best mods ever made for KSP. And most people like it as it is. If you are one of those people who don`t like this mod then don`t play it. If you think it isn`t stockalike enough(you wrote this to other mods too) then play stockalike or other mods. No one does force you to play this mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abrecan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) The first iteration of my Gemini development - the Gemini M. I had this in mind for Minmus missions in general, and plan on further development. First launch was cis-lunar on a Titan IIIC with an extended centaur upper stage... Barely made it to orbit in 2.5x tbh (oh, 108km x 107 km). The Gemini Light lander I made will lighten the load more for expeditions in future missions to come. Note: There is a MOL solar panel on the opposite side... I balanced it out with a Agena science bay.

Amen! @Gapone, you need a lesson in manners. @CobaltWolf has spent countless hours making an amazing mod and is always receptive to feedback, your posts come off as obnoxious and rude. If you want to tweak things, you can always do it yourself. I am constantly editing BDB parts, textures...etc. I do the same with Tantares.

Actually with the exception of fuel it is very stockalike. And there is a reason that all these mod authors are using Hydrolox fuel. Simply put it is the same reason almost every Space agency in the real world is using it. It masses 1/4 that of Kerolox (RP-1/O) Means smaller lighter stages with fewer engines. If you were to Build a Saturn V with only RP-1/O in the real world it would have been bigger than the Soviet N-1 and less capable. The reliance on RP-1/O is one of the factors that made the N-1 so big for such a small final space craft (Think Gemini with a 1 man Gemini lander on top of something BIGGER than the Saturn V for an Idea... On 1/18/2019 at 2:06 PM, Gapone said: Good, Gemini B service module? Like, short and blue? Where is it? In the real world it would not have been Blue. Several models and even the Mochup of the Gemini B were painted blue for publicity... This is an Air-Force Rocket not a NASA one.
