Cool! How about some IVA pics?

Hi @Gabu, This is really great!  I love two parts in particular, the enclosed boarding 'airlock' for the Titan II Pod, also the Titan Hab Ring.  Nice work. 

I assume that eventually the centrifuges will both rotate?  Any plans for IVAs?

Recently I've been harking back to the ideas that the rotational section could never be properly sealed and so would be placed within a pressure hull, such as in 2001 A Space Odyssey. 

Hence I have a request/ suggestion - a much wider version of the Titan Hab, possibly with two internal 'decks'.  The pressure hull would not rotate, but have some windows to show the movement of the internal centrifuge hull - only for prettiness, these windows are just transparent parts of the outer hull.  I also would made in a flat cylinder too, not a 2001 Discovery spheroid.  To get around the 'windows not rotating' crew in any future IVA would probably use ultra high def LCD "windows" which wouldn't necessarily to attached to the rotational part of the craft.  But not having a rotational outer hull means we could surface attach things to it as well.

Thanks for ongoing Capsule Corp design modding!

Peace.

Hi @theJesuit ! I’ll properly reply you in some hours because I’m going to work now. But just for the centrifuges, they do rotate but only on space. I used the KSP default animation group for performance issues so, only on space, on vacuum they rotate. 

I liked the idea of a new centrifuge for Titan class, do you have any mock-up of what your saying just to got the right idea?

thanks!!

Yay!!!!!

[Sylvain]

Wow ! Awesome 

Is it possible in future release to be compatible with Kerbalism? Habitat, cupola, harvester, comm,...
It will avoid to add generic parts to this gorgeous ship to expand time before aboard Kerbal become crazy.

[thomash]

These two models are great.  I like both options.  Thanks.

It will be interesting to see how the Hermes performs with a MADV docked.  Have you given any thought to modeling the dropship from The Martian?

[pquade]

Thank you.  This looks amazing and I'm looking forward to playing with it.

[thomash]

I have a slight glitch.  When I open the Hermes craft file in the hangar or VAB, it looks fine.  But when I send it to the launch pad, or runway it appears that the access way between the CMD and the Probe section displaces forward and unattached of the Probe section.

 

Even after I Hyperedit it into orbit:

 

Thanks.

Hi @thomash !!

I had the same problem on 1.4.5. I'll release a fix, making this part of fairing to a single part itself.

 

[thomash]

Thanks Gabu.

BTW, I made a successful flight to the Mun with Titan, landed and safely returned to Kerbal orbit.  Easy-peasy.  Now I have to figure out how to get my Kerbals back on the ground.  Rescue Mission!  

[Aeroboi]

@Gabu Super wonderful mod

No hurries, but I would so much love a IVA view for the habitation ring. Although I would prefer more texture to the Hermes command pod IVA I do like the spaciousness and custom look of it. It really stands out from the rest and is nowhere near a copy of something else that exists. I can only expect something just as good done to the IVA of the ring habitat modules.

Hi @thomash!!

I had a lot of problems to solve this bug, and the "simple" way to make this was to change the Khermes fairing to a part itself.

It won't break your save but may not look good too... be carefull and make a bkp from your savefile just in case...

Sorry for late response, I'm passing through a major change of my professional life and moving to another state here on Brazil...

Yoh @Aeroboi !!

Man, this will take some time... it's not on my plans by now. I'll release a last mod that I'm working on and latter I'll take the LRE and make a "Nautillus" class (50% done by now) and THEN i'll go for centrifuge IVA. I don't know how to make the iva to rotate with it... i'll have to learn with the masters 1st so... time needed...

How do i launch these peaces on traditional rockets?

Cmon man... that’s the funniest thing on the game. Built it in pieces in orbit. That’s what I do.

Take time and they are really expensive.

So on career they are intended to late game. 

[thomash]

Hi Gabu.

I'm having a slight issue with Hermes.  I seems that I cannot get the crew to transfer to the big wheel.  I've docked other craft to the Hermes and can transfer crew between the docked craft and the Hermes command module without a problem.

Thanks.
