Were those scrapped somewhere along the line or has it been that long since I check here and it was stealthy completed? 3 hours ago, AmanitaVerna said: The big saucer is still tagged like it's incomplete or in beta or something, isn't it? I burned out on the mothership a few years ago. The IVAs were killing me. Since then, my license for 3DS MAX got too expensive to renew and my files for the mothership- and most of my other projects- are in MAX format. I have been learning Blender but that is slow going due to other commitments. At this point I would need to start over with a new mothership, but that depends on time and interest. The reality is that the saucer shape has limited utility. I did experiment with a new saucer shape based on the Mk2 form factor but that is more a replacement for the existing Flapjack design. The funny thing is that the Flapjack was originally a proof of concept for making saucer shapes fly in KSP but I also hedged my bets with it as being the only saucer design that I made in case I didn’t complete the mothership. It turned out to be the case. If I were to start over again today I would make a saucer design similar to to remade Jupiter 2 from the Netflix Lost In Space show, but one that had more configuration options.

Angelo Kerman Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Hard to believe that I did this a year ago but a lot has happened since then! Here is my first attempt at revamping the flying saucer: Originally I intended this for KSP2 but given the state of that game I may revisit it as a “KFS Mk2” mod instead… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is no thread for wbi tools here,i just ask here, and how to properly put legs on saucer?? It works with either Classic Stock Resources or Community Resources Pack. Install either one of those. If that doesn't work then find the 000WildBlueTools/Templates/CRP/MM_SAFER.txt file and give it the .cfg extension.

Major_Rafael Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Perhaps this is interference from other mods but whenever I'm in a stable orbit the boost mode for the gravitic engine is forced on and I cant turn it off. My first guess for a potential interfering mod would be Blueshift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should auto-disable but if it isn't then there's a bug that I need to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a video showing that? I just tried myself and am seeing expected behavior. I can turn Boost Mode on and off without issue while in orbit, and acceleration works as expected. Here's a video of that: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndAllFilms Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Is it possible that there is a craft where you launch it vertically by rocket instead of using SSTO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenartia Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 1 hour ago, ODEN said: Has this mod been updated to the newest KSP and KSP2? 1. I'm aware of no mod that works for both KSP and KSP2. 2. The current version of the game is 1.12.5. The title of this thread says 1.12.2. However, 1.12.x is basically guaranteed to be compatible, and mods going back as far as 1.8.x have found to generally be compatible with everything since.

Yes, you can launch the smaller saucer vertically. One way to do that is to put it inside a large fairing. Here is an example of how: You can also use the Mk2 engine plate that's included with the mod: 14 hours ago, ODEN said: Has this mod been updated to the newest KSP and KSP2? Kerbal Flying Saucers requires a minimum of KSP 1.12.2, and works just fine in KSP 1.12.5. I have no plans to make the mod work in KSP 2 given that the game is essentially a dead end at this point.
