[1.3.1] Carrier Vessel Expansion (CVX) [ver 0.13.1]

[Catto]

No. The only part it needs is a CVXCatapult

There is another bug! All the parts of the ship fall off!

Did you read this?

The new current problem is the stock joint system, where even rigid attachment will allow parts to separate, KSP's attachment nodes weren't designed for such heavy masses. I recommend using the cheats for both inserting into the water and operation until Kerbal Joint Reinforcement is updated.

No, i did not read that. I just installed KJR next, And will tell you if it works.

It works!

So I've noticed it seems you have really big plans for this mod, and already have a ton of models for new vessels to be added. But we haven't seen an update in a really long time. When can we expect an update, and compatibility with versions beyond 1.3.1?

It's compatible with 1.8 and 1.9 There used to be a bug with colliders since 1.4 but it was a Unity bug and it has gone after Unity update.

Has anyone tested to see if this mod works on 1.10.x? Is  @Eskandare still working on it, Should someone try to adopt this mod?

adopt for what? "recompile" text cfg files with the latest version of notepad? Or repack the zip file with the latest version of WinRar?

I mean Adopt if the mod is broken

[xD-FireStriker]

Something does seem to be broken as when it was installed  my KSP wouldn’t load past the dlcs. 
I don’t currently have a log but with how long it take for my install to load I’m currently too lazy to reload with the mod loaded.

Going to snoop around the configs and see if I can’t see something amiss 

[Eskandare]

Hi all this mod is back to being developed. I rebuilt my machine from the ground up. 

[hello there]

nice

[Manul]

The carrier is still operational in 1.12.2

Yes, M.A.S.A.M.U.N.E. engines also work well.

P.S. I wrote a cfg for Kerbal Konstructs to use Nimitz as KK statics. Tried to place this into the atmosphere of Jool but KK doesn't allow to place statics on Jool.

For those who want to use it: create a cfg file in "Eskandare_Heavy_Industries/Carrier_Vessel_Expansion/Parts/Nimitz/ " directory and copy the config above. You will be able to spawn hull, bridge and radar tower using the KK menu.  Aircraft lifts can be activated by doubleclicking the safety net  on each lift, ordnance lifts and blast deflectors can also be activated.

I'll be getting to it hopefully soon. I've been working a lot lately with my interim job (reads BS survival job) and trying to change fields back to aviation or computer information systems. I have been tinkering with the new models. they are just very complex to work with.

ok. one more question. for the wasp, do you plan on making the well deck at the bottom useable, for LCACs, LCU/LCMs, AAVs, vehicles like those?

do you have aircraft carrier accessories? this mod, the way I see it, at least, is meant as an extention for it. also, how about a San Antonio class LPD? if not, Kiev-class carrier? or the more ludicrous Interdiction Assault Ship, meant to turn the decommisioned iowa-class battleships into aircraft cruisers?

[Birdman31]

I'm quite exited for the Essex

[Kerbal410]

will the mod be updated before school is out?

[Manul]

We've got some trouble here. Does anybody have an interplanetary icebreaker?

[Kerbal410]

any plans for future updates? the mod has been standing as-is for quite some time.

[Eskandare]

If anyone is curious this mod is still in development, but it has been on pause as my development computer is still down. I hope I can get it working again soon. Weather in the SF Bay Area killed the MoBo and my video card. Since I now live in the desert this should be a thing of the past (as long as the AC keeps going).
