Yeah, basically the whole HOME2 project is held up at the moment waiting for that sorta stuff, so might as well take this chance to sit back and enjoy some waffles

[TheSuperintendnt]

OK, I'm done.

[patrizl001]

Don't ask for details, they won't be given, you'll just have to live with this tiny image for now ^.^

And just so you know, not much is happening here until after the next KSP update

Its cool but one thing is missing: inflatable waffle house!

[waffelzman]

How will Home2 bases be put together?

Off topic: Ive gone 5 months without an avatar so I figured that I should get one.

There is a extendable docking port module.

AH-HA! Found a pic! Old one sorry!

Well that's still a very good find. Who cares if its old.

Oh yeah, the old nonchobit version.

[B787_300]

did he ever get the self leveling to work?

[chobit-389]

Nope, the new version doesn't have that feature. If it will in the future, it doesn't have it yet

[B787_300]

just me thinking outloud....

if we can make static wheels which have weight based suspensions, then it seems like having a variable weight part could help with the up down and maybe an asymetrical part for left right balance...

end thinking

How are we supposed to link up structures especially for the flight accuracy challenged such as myself?

[bs1110101]

I think it would be better to have bases connected by eva attachable inflatable tubes

[BobCat]

Rover, crane, robotic arm ?

Cool, you can make this plugin?

Is there room on the sides of these HAB/Base Units to attach TouhouTorpedo Omniwheels?

I have had good luck with them when linking modular base parts together.

Personally I opt for a crane or a forklift attachment to a DEMV chassis, just make a nice re-entry shell for it, parachute and aim for the general vicinity of your base.

Then you start landing new modules nearby, drive the rover out to them and haul em back home, gives the rovers a use other than scooting around

[TheSuperintendnt]

Something like this? (This is intended to use a KAS winch)

I haven't used the mk1 or 2 in a while, as they are a pain to launch and land (that and stock rover wheels).

Edit: By the way, Cassowary can carry any DEMV right?

Edited April 28, 2013 by TheSuperintendnt

[chobit-389]

To hang a whole HOME2 and fit it between the supports as it is being moved onto the flatbed would make that a very VERY large vehicle. I doubt it would fit in the Casso but again that is easily solved with a heavy cargo droppod

[TheSuperintendnt]

Well the HOME2 is 2.5m parts right? And that part would go on the back of a DEMV mk2 they're about 3m wide. But I suppose if it was to tall.....

But I thought DEMVs could fit in the back of the Cassowary? To tall perhaps?

HOME 2

1) Is there any way to make the retractable landing legs, Rover wheels for easy of module arrangement on planet surface.

2) Inflatable modules i.e. Hab, Green house, etc. it would be nice if they all had some sort of use like the green house can slowly produce intake air. It would also be nice if the windows lit up with ambient light and have a small power drain (gives me an excuse to add solar panels).

3) Inflatable tunnels.

KAS plugin- make them just like the solor panels attach then extend in EVA.

Lazor plugin- make a docking port that extends like on the burn shuttle place another docking port at the base then assemble using a robotic arm.

the last one was more of a posable solution to a previous post of yours using plugins you have previously used in other mod packs.

The KAS solution sounds best to me a extendable docking port that you can attach in eva.

Its only a suggestion thanks again for all the hard work you put into your mod packs.

How much KAS connection you testet in one moment? 4? 6? 20 ? ))) How many FPS eat every KAS connections ?

What's the correct order to install all the BobCat mods in? Some of them contain the same plugin, for example, but different versions of it. I think I keep installing in wrong order and crashing.
