Barzon Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Beautiful. Magnificent. Gorgeous. The seamless fade in of the Tundra Exploration logo at the end is truly the cherry on top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twidget_Gray Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi I have a request. Is there a way to modify the GIGAN "Cargo Dragon" part so it has a less capable flight computer? I play with community tech tree and have only unlocked the OKYT which only has SAS assist and the HECS which has SAS assist and SAS for Prograde and RetroGrade. GIGAN "Cargo Dragon Flight computer is end game capable, but You unlock the GIGAN "Cargo Dragon" very early in the community tech tree. All I am asking is some info on how to modify the GIGAN "Cargo Dragon" part so I can reduced it to what I have unlocked. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a feeling that the dragon pod is in the wrong place in that tech tree. Other than that I have no real idea of how to make it "less capable".

Or even better, to have it operate with different SAS levels as the relevant tech nodes are unlocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bagorah tanks/engines are the only 2.5m parts I currently have - I don't even have decouplers for it I think it should go to "Heavy Rocketry".

infinite_monkey Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 17 hours ago, damonvv said: I can't control the tech tree from the community tech tree Sure, but I just checked the config files, ignoring CTT for the moment. Stock 2.5 meter parts come with "Fuel Systems" for tanks, "Heavy Rocketry" for Poodle/Skipper and "Heavier Rocketry" for the Mainsail engine. As most Ghidorah parts also come with "Heavier Rocketry", I think it would make sense to move Bagorah engines to "Heavy Rocketry" and tanks to "Fuel Systems".

So my plan for the TE v1.7 are: Source: https://trello.com/b/kIaopWmm/tundra-exploration-roadmap I am not sure when it will be released. It all depends on when KSP 1.8 arrives and how much will break. I am not sure if TE v1.7 will have the 2019 Starship update. Currently the presentation is on the 28th. So will see how much time I have between that and the KSP 1.8 update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And KRE is the only one that has that feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way we could be able to make our own Stainless-Steel-like Starship as we wait for the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you plan to use the stock shiny metal shader or Textures Unlimited when you update Starship to the latest version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclear yet. I start modeling when the presentation is over (next week). Then I will test various ways to get Stainless Steel working and that it looks nice.

infinite_monkey Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I was quite surprised to see all engines switched to Methalox with the latest update of Rational Resources. Shouldn't that just be the case for the Raptor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
