Fed most of my bug reports (minor and major) into the respective github repository issues list of the affected mods (NFP, SH, DBS, NFLV, KA etc.) So feel free to sort, prioritize or discard them completely according to your preferences and roadmaps. Hope it helps.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Please note, that the posted issues refer to the mod versions made for KSP 1.11.2 as I did not upgrade to 1.12 yet (waiting for needed fixes in base game) and the newest mod versions (e.g. KA 1.3.0, that you released last night). So some of the issues in github might be solved already in your 1.12-compatible versions, some may not. So it may be possible, that you may drop some of them according to what you already knew and fixed with 1.12 compatibility patches released these days.

dont know if this has been asked before but do the near future solar arrays work with the EVA construction?

Tested it and yes.

Engineers can move NF Solar panels around and re attach them

Only some of them can be put into containers though due to there size / mass.

I did have an issue with the containers not showing any icons though, but will test it without any other mods and try and reproduce it etc before posting as a bug on git ^.^

These probe cores  B U S are Very Useful (most positive praise I can provide without violating 2.2g)

Hi, dumb question but does the .x imply that it works with smaller updates after 1.12 if that makes sense?

Apologies if this is a bad place to ask

It generally means that it should work with all 1.12 minor releases, such as 1.12.1 and 1.12.2.

Cheers!

Thanks for all this super high quality work Nertea, your mods are the best.

Would it be possible to get more stuff in the PLTO formfactor at some point? I'm a sucker for the shape but would love fuel/cargo tanks in it too.

[Entr8899]

Have you ever considered making a similar patch to the Decaying RTGs but for solar panels, seeing as real solar panels will slowly degrade while in space? If not, how could I make such a patch?

Apologies if you've already seen it, but I believe the Near Future Construction hex truss is a fairly good fit or the PLTO.

This is supported by stock, you just need to add a timeEfficCurve in the module.

Not planning to, sorry. The goal has always been for players to use the bus parts to put fuel tanks and such inside rather than creating dozens of variant parts for every probe core.

For Near Future Solar, is there a way to make the non retractable panels retractable? I need a pair of retractable panels for my freedom replica, and the bulky Stockalike boxes really don’t fit the aesthetic. Like can you go into the file and edit some code ect to make them retractable?

You can change that in each part's .cfg

@Nertea

Bug report: Type: Visual, Severity: Minor

 

Engine bell of Colossos Engine shows flickering grey effects even if Engine is disengaged or throttled to zero: Flickering continues even if pause menue is called. Seen on two computers, so no graphics issue. (I've seen this before on one of the KA-engines. Think it was the emancipator... but not sure anymore...)

[Nertea]

Forum needs a reaction similar to 'like', which is 'I like that you reported a bug but I hate it'.

[Terrestris]

Can I config solar tracking panel as static panel? (Stay in default position)

Sorry... Shall I stop reporting the minor things? I mean, you can treat them like you want: You can also ignore them. I did not mean to get on your nerves. 

Your mods already have such a high quality level. This stuff is only the last 0,5%...

No, it's fine! I am just expressing the frustration that bugs give me.

This used to be possible with EverythingTweakable or something like that.

are you asking to be able to switch tracking on and off while in flight or do you just want to have the tracking panels be static ones when you build the vessel?

Of course in flight.

Hello @Nertea, I know you're very busy with updating tons of your great mod.

I found a bug for NF Spacecraft. The Mk1-L Nereid command pod is sinking into the sea under some specific circumstances. Here is the step to reproduce this bug;

1. Assemble the craft from top to bottom as follow ;

Spoiler

 a. Mk16 parachute,

b. Nereid command module

c. Mk12-R drogue chute

d. 1.25 m heat shield reduced ablator to 40u

e. TD-12 decoupler

f. FL-T400 fuel tank

g. LV-T30 Reliant engine 

2. add a kerbal

3. launch the craft 

4. shutdown the engine, DO NOT decouple the tank and engine yet, activate both chute normally,

5. let it fall to the sea, will notice that the pod would sink more than normally did

6. as soon as you decouple the tank and engine, the pod would fall to the seabed

7. tested again with tank and engine decoupled mid air, the pod sank with all parachutes still opened

8. already repeated the step with Mk1-3 pod and Mk-1-TMA and found no issue. Haven't unlock other pod yet so I cannot test further.
