Haha, WOW! That was a great video, thanks for making it! Can I link it in the OP?

Really fun, and I appreciate that you went into such detail of my silly parts!

Point taken for the pods - they will be moved in the next release =)

@Katten The video is no mine, it's from @Kottabos. He has a series of videos from KSP mods. All great videos. I just posted here to make you aware of it

Most mods that he made vídeos for used them on the OP, so I think he is ok with it.

Np

Great mod btw, will try it out tonight (on 1.2.2 unfortunately, but I think should work fine). Congrats

So, just FYI, it works fine in 1.2.2, except the texture change for the AID-X2 Decoupler due to the lack of this feature in this version. But all of this is as expected

[Daniel Prates]

What a great mod. We do need more atmospheric returnable shells.

[Gordon Dry]

@Katten I suggest to change the textures from .tga to .dds with mipmaps.

Maybe a one line install guide - copy RocketEmporium subdirectory to GameData? The readme file would be a good place.......

@KattenThis looks really good I might try and make Luna 9 with this. Do you plane to make more things.

Cool It would be cool if you made probe like nasa insight

I have plans for the fairing if nothing else =)

[The Minmus Derp]

Me like. I plan on using a bunch of entry pods with the spherical probe containers in them with probe components in them.

Hello,

I think I ran into a litle proplem with the 3.75m Ball. I had it on an Lander as a Heat und Impact shield and when i was enterd back in Kerbins atmosphere it immediately burned. I also noticed that it did not use any ablator. Maby this was the Problem?

It was meant as a space only thing, considering the shape might not be optimal for reentry. Actually I have since removed the ablator completely. I'm open for suggestions tho =)

oh okay, but thanks anyway

[drtedastro]

looks great.

a long time ago there was a mod, [1.0.4] Oblivion Aerospace Pack: Now supports stock heating! (v0.1.5, 2015-06-24), that had conical heat shields and covers.  it has been gone now for a long time.  it was very useful in building viking, curiosity and other mars probes that needed to do re-entry then pop the top and start various other ways to slow down.

This is a step in that direction, thanks.  maybe if possible you might look at some of the old conical heat shield shapes and see how hard it would be to bring something like that back.  maybe????

again, thanks for a great mod that is getting better and better.

cheers.

and ablator is good, real good....

Thanks! 

What other heat shields do you have in mind?
Regarding ablator, do you mean regarding the "space shere" or in general? =)

[drtedastro]

any and all, if possible.

any new shapes and methods to not burn up are always great..

with what you have, and the 'normal', i can only think of nasa's conical ones. 

at least for now.

That old mod was really great.  it was ahead of its time and it is a real shame it disappeared.

your great stuff is some of the first new heat deflection devices we have had in a long time...

really, really nice.

thanks.

[Katten]

@drtedastro
I am not sure which those nasa cones are tbh.

Doing some insight stuff now =)

[drtedastro]

let me see if i can dig up some info for you.

cheers.

Awesome new part

I thought that, by the priece, weight and size of the closed half it would be nice to have a reaction wheel built in  

EDIT: Oh! and I changed the places of the parts in the Tech Tree, put the Spherical Probe Container in miniaturalization, the Reentry Container in landing and the Space Container in heavy landing. FOrget to change the decouplers though XD. I'm not shure if these places are optimal, but I just wanted to include some progression
