RedCapDan Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 SSTU Labs has a great set of Orion/SLS in a stock alike set. Presently that's what I have running with BDB, took out SSTUs Apollo stuff to avoid the duplication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a moment to realize we were still talking about Orion. I guess, on a related note, I tried using the Kane CM with SDHI and unfortunately the meshes don't line up. Also, today is the last day to sign up as a November supporter on Patreon! Promise this is the last time I'll plug it out of context - I'll probably mention it in my release posts. EDIT: Got bored doing homework, took a break... EDIT: Also, the Apollo nearly-flat structural adapter is now up on Github! 2.5m on one end, and features not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different sizes of end caps!

Nnimrod Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I know this isn't really the place to ask but... Is there a way to make it so that if you pay the entry fee to a part in a tech node you have researched, you can pay a drastically reduced entry fee for another part? Ex. A node has 5 and 7 segment solid motors that are very similar (UA1205 and UA1207 for example), can I make it so that the entry fee for either one is 120k, but if you pay for one of them the other drops to 10k? I could accomplish something like this by making the parts have individual tech nodes, but I'm not doing that. EDIT: I could also do this with the alternate configurations system that RealFuels uses, but I'm not ready to add RF in yet.

PickledTripod Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 @Nnimrod Being able to unlock multiple parts with a single purchase would be even better. It makes no sense that you have to pay twice to unlock two lenght of fuel tanks of the same diameter for exemple, if you see the entry fee as buying the tooling. Damn I can think of a lot of ways to improve the whole science/unlock system, but that part of the game is hard-coded, isn't it? 1 minute ago, Foxxonius Augustus said: My kind of camp fire!* ~snip~ Hype double whamy.

Getting hard to contain all that hype. Next update will be dank. Agreed :/ My project will have fuel tank nodes, and they will be pretty cheap and available early. You want .9375m tanks? Unlock the .9375m node (for a trivial amount of science, like 10), and you get all .9375m tanks and adapter tanks for very small incremental cost. The only problem is I haven't thought of how to charge the $ entry fee once for the whole node. And later, when I have finished the complete base project, I'll implement RealFuels and with that I'll add a node later on down that allows you to spend science and funds to unlock higher tech tank types, i.e. lightweight balloon tanks, stage 1 and 2 cryo tanks, and special tanks for special propellants that would need them, like F based oxidizers and stuff. But that's a loooooot of work down the line. 10 hours ago, CobaltWolf said: In my defense, my dad's payloads were launched on Atlas V (hint is in the name of the family in game).

Well, that system has three components: 4 geostationary satellites, with an on-orbit spare; 4 ground stations; and the handheld radio sets.

CobaltWolf Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Scout and J-2T beta now on Github! The old Antares needs some work I'm afraid... Grab the craft file to see how I built Scout - it needs RCS for control on the second and third stages. They're disabled on launch - AG1 activates the stage 2 (Castor) RCS, and AG2 activates the stage 3 (Antares) RCS. EDIT: Bonus Titan 3BAS2 launch - been waiting a while to be able to build this...

Two quick things: Thanks to our 5 Patreon donors for the month of November! I greatly appreciate your support of the mod. Nobody asked me to give them a shout out on the thread, so for the two I know, I've thanked you in person already. The other three - thank you so much! Additionally, we have a sort of 'Help Wanted/Now Hiring' thing. Currently the BDB tech tree placements are fairly suspect. Would anyone be interested in doing an 'audit' of the stock tech tree nodes for all the parts? I noticed a lot of stuff out of whack when I was looking at the tech tree the other day - to the point that it was overwhelming. The MOS and Apollo/LEM stuff was particularly egregious, but there was a lot of other stuff that looked out of place. Since none of us have a lot of time to actually play the game (since we're busy, well, making stuff!) a lot of strangeness in the progression has gone unnoticed. Please see this Github issue for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
