Faster than an Oto Melara. yup but it doesnt really cut it at missile defense (in ksp anyway), general AA fine but missiles not so much, the quad on the other hand is very effective.

Well in that sense, very true. I don't much care about that so much as some sense of realism. As much as I can get with tiny green men, anyway. That's why I was thrilled for LBP when it came out, and especially now with Boomsticks and SM Marine complimenting each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup , i wont be doing anything for 1.1.3 or previous versions as of last night and the Pre-Release, with 8 mods to chase they all at least have to head in the same direction . Already run into some odd little issues , lets hope they stay small.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XOC2008 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 So here's my "finished" LCS-1 with some deco bits from other mods, and a resized Oto Melara to stand in for the mk110 till the 1.2 updates.

I've often thought of making some, but i can't see fixed length ones working very well, I'd thought procedural, but finding a guide to making procedural part models is rarer than an agoraphobic Kerbal. But they look OK, from what i can see and fit the lines well. I have another think on that. AND as soon as poss get the 1.2 update and color change out, they all look so much more in the lighter grey.

I may bung you a tester as you've shown so much interest in this little mod They're from TMasterson's SAR mod. Don't much like/need the rest of it, but the rails and netting were a necessity to finish the LCS. (I recolored the netting, too) Thankfully they had tweakscale added so I could get them to fit a bit better. (I'd love to see animated netting on the LCS Helo sterns, but you've already got 2 animations and 2 different lighting sets on it!) Procedural ones would be so much nicer, could get them to fit the contours of the ship's lines even better. I'd be happy to be a tester, I think ships and planes are much more fun for me in KSP than rockets. Plus I suck at space travel.

XOC2008 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Today, I threw together a Cyclone-class Patrol Boat. Aside from the weapons (NAS, with the flak cannon filling in for the mk38 mod 2) and some detail bits, all parts are LBP. (It has more parts than some of the bigger ships but there is a lot of offsetting going on with the bridge sections.) It's still in progress. Not happy with it. And since there's no small boat slip in the mod to put on the back, it looks unfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be about the same length as the small modern stern in the pack already. Can't find a real world pic that shows back detail too well, but there's walking room on either side of the slipway.

Says the bloke who works too hard, 8 mods and 3 collabs to deal with means everything in it's time, so feel free if you just can't wait, and in your pm you still never said what it is you want to put there?. I'm quite reluctant to do it in the way you propose however as it just leads to other issues with things and kerbs falling through the deck, a much nicer solution is to know exactly what you'd want you put in that position and either it's dimensions or a pattern part, and having those details construct a proper bay with a removable cover, so if you want launchers you don't fit the cover and if you don't you do. missing collision sounds and feels like nothing more than a bodge edit you are free of course to modify the parts in any way you choose Edited September 15, 2016 by SpannerMonkey(smce) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XOC2008 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I need to take another fleet shot at some point. Finished my Independence class LCS, too. Man I love this mod. OH! Speaking of the mod, I encountered an issue earlier where the medium helo stern was sharing a model with the LCS helo stern, but without animations. Found out for whatever reason, there was a cfg for medhelostern, mediumhelostern, and the mediumLCShelostern or whatever it is called. The medhelostern shouldn't be there. I removed the cfg for it to see if it fixed everything, and from what I can tell it fixed it fine. Not sure why it messed things up but if others are having the same trouble (It switched out the plain for the LCS model between the SPH and launch each time), then that's a way to fix it.

I'll check that out sounds a bit odd. but very suprised there haven't been more issues with so much being done.., Did i mention that there's a texture switch on the tri hull with the hangar, so you can switch the heli deck off and on depending where it's fitted. Damn those rails, theyre taunting me with their suitability for the job.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is much more versatility in the mod with the new parts, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
