Part Requests?

[EricSan]

Does anyone have a part they want in the game but is not currently being worked on? I'm looking for ideas, the more info the better!

The Vulcain 2 engine ? http://www.arianespace.com/vehicle/ariane-5/

Or the whole launcher

Inflatable Fuel Tanks. IMHO they would be incredibly useful for SSTOS or motherships/landers for non atmospheric planets.

looks like someone was already developing that back in 2012.

Does anyone know if the project is alive somewhere still? The art looks quite far along https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTbeevSHvo-O8OAl0WgDjV1SCZGTV_MoVU0U2hczCBDfbikHfskPw

I started a model of the engine regardless.

sounds like a nice challenge code wise, maybe if i learn how to script the animations to match fuel levels?

All sorts of landers maybe? From unmanned to manned, Apollo to Altair, all sorts of stuff to do with landing, just a thought...

a stockalike orbital greenhouse for big mothership or big station (3.75m or 5m tube) maybe with internal centrifuge? work with TACLS!

SSTU has Altair already and BDB has Apollo covered.

Maybe some ETS stuff, Minotaur would be cool. Go look on Wikipedia for some concepts from the late 50's/early 60's, they're a goldmine for ideas.

Or if you are looking for something simpler, maybe your own mini cube-sat system that are modular with different tasks, with sizes varying from 1x1 to 2x3, and to launch them, maybe base them off the new and upcoming US/NZ Electron launch system, designed to be incredibly cheap. And seeing that the engines are electric pump feed cycle, you could make the startup sound like the starting of a car (for the laughs, make it more interesting) and require a little EC to start it, however the engines would be incredibly cheap (being 3d printed irl).
