Angelo Kerman Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Making progress on the new Homestead module: This version is not as wide as the previous version, and I've cut the windows in and unwrapped the mesh. Now it's just a matter of texturing it. With luck I'll have it and the remaining parts done before 1.3.1 is released, but I'm running out of time.

Angelo Kerman Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Exterior: Done! This is my first skinned mesh animation for KSP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ok, not quite done: Have to match the color scheme of the other station parts. Needs more tweaks but almost there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bit more to do... The end connections are 2.5m, same as the other station components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Got the exterior of the new Homestead done: This is the new Kopernicus reference design, based on NASA's Copernicus spacecraft.

Kosmonaut Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I can't wait for this to be done, not only for this, but because the NAUTILUS-X is next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Getting there, might not have the props done before 1.3.1 drops, but the IVA is mostly done: Pilot's station: Command deck's engineering station: Science deck: Hab Deck: Those girders are needed to support the structure..

I really like the industrial interiors. Would you consider giving the internal lights the same changeability of the GondOffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Tried to consider its use as a set for stories by @JustJim and @adsii1970 when making the overlay: The Homestead can be used as a command pod- it requires a crew of two- but it's not as sophisticated as a dedicated part like the Clydesdale Orbital Command Pod. @Krakatoa There will be a conference phone in the hab deck.

Abpilot Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Will the Hermes be implemented along your track because at one stage at the time the Martian was made it was going to be the means of transport for about a week then they scraped it. dunno why but lol.

Wasn't planning on it, but you can sort of make it using existing parts and the almost complete Odyssey Two release. Odyssey Three will have most of what you need to make a kerbalized version of this: That is NASA's NAUTILUS-X. I'm planning on making the hexagonal corridor (which also forms the hangars), adapter pieces, the radially attached command pod, and centrifuge with 2.5m core. Possibly the solar arrays and a big thruster plate as well (though you could just cluster tanks for that). No VASMIR engine though, it's thrust is too low for that. I'm looking at a different engine.. Here's my concept craft: You don't really need the thruster plate , and that would reduce part bloat. Also, the D2 modules will have a mesh switch option to wrap them in hex panels to form that long corridor. The hex hangars will be just large enough to fit a 3.75m module...
