[1.0.5] Stock Part Fixes - A module manager script

[Warzouz]

Stock Part Fixes

For a long time I wasn't happy with attributes of some parts that nearly prohibite us to use them. So I compiled some inconsitencies and created some Module Manager scripts to change the data.

Here is the "Suggestion topic"

This is not really a mod, but a script which will need Module Manager, which you can find here

Download the mod (ZIP)

This zip contains 3 files

• Consistency fixes : it'll fix many mass and few temperatures inconsitencies. It also add 50RCS to the inline docking port and extend the interaction range of Goo experiment and Lab Jr.
• Science changes : increase mass of many experiments, size Atmo scan and narowband to match goo canister size and mass. Only small experiments keeps their physicless atribute. ISRU are also more heavy. Delete this file if you don't like it
• Dubious changes : Basic fin has be buffed to a real fin and Airbrake is now more resistant. Those 2 modifications may change the game play, so delete this file if you don't like that.

Feed back is very much appreciated. Further more, I would like to change some data on drag for some parts, but I don't know how to do it.

@Warzouz Hi there! Does it still work with 1.2? A lot of (whole?) stuff here makes sense. Thank you!

[Warzouz]

It should work. Changes are very simple.

[Kerbal101]

@Warzouz Thanks, friend! Changes are great and I'm going to use it. We need more discussion about these, because it would be great to see them implemented in Stock (or rejected on discussion basis).

Do you think the Command Modules weight so much due to infinite supply of invisible snacks?

[Kenny Kerman]

(What about "physicless" part? Heavy batteries should change the weight and CoM is it enough/sure to edit the Squad's .cgf files to remove or add "PhysicsSignificance" ?)

Thank you, there scripts seem to balance the game better than stock.
