I apologize for not being able, at the moment, to give you a report with more info. But on 1.12.2, Waterfall 0.6.7, things are just really unhappy with this mod. The flood of nullrefs is unending. Again, sorry I don't have the log for you, and if you absolutely cannot reproduce this then I'll reinstall and get a log file for you. I just put the sample craft on the launch pad, and took off.  10mb log file within seconds, no plumes on main engines.

The good news, if you take the turbojet engine cfg from v 1.3 and put it in v 1.2... v 1.2 works (except the waterfall configs, but no nullrefs) . So the new nullrefs are from of the most recent changes made to the mod

Version 1.3
Changes:
1. Completely changed rocket model and solid booster

 

2. Added small ion engine

3. Added solar panel for satellites

4. Added a new small booster - KStug

5. Changed the balance of the rocket
6. Now RCS on Kermes runs on regular fuel, not monoprop
7. Removed the problematic protective cover from JetEngine

 

I also removed stock support, and I hope I fixed all the errors.

Wow how cool it looks, but now put all your energy into the mini station for this mini shuttle.

Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that the work still requires:

there are still 3 main problems with the mod i'm afraid, 1 was the turbojet engine wich you did a quick fix for. And then there is problem 2) wich are your configs for waterfall. With the configs installed you get an endless wall of error spam, without it console is crispy clean, so there is something wrong with your configs. And problem 3 is the docking port for the shuttle, the deployable one. When you set it to 'control from here' when you want to dock, the orientation on the navball is wrong, you only get the option of forward or 15° but the orientation should be in the direction the docking port is pointing at, not the way the shuttle points.

First, sorry for the long answer. ..
I will check the bug with Waterfall, also check Jet. The docking port has already been repaired, I hope to update soon with fixes.

is there maybe a name conflict between this mod and another mod? when I have this installed alongside SSPX the Coriolis ring complains that I need 'RocketParts' - but I don't have any mods that use that term. Digging around, SSPX has a bunch of patches that say NEEDS[MKS]. Without this mod, the Coriolis ring (correctly) says I need engineers.

Yes, there is another mod abbreviated as MKS.

It is quite possible that this is the problem, because having installed only my "MKS" and Waterfall on the clean version of KSP, I did not find spam:

It looks,  will have to change the name of the addon again.

May I suggest then Kerbal Mini Shuttle (KMS)?

[nothingSpecial]

This one is pretty similar to another mod:

So you'll need to check if it uses such designation, because who knows if anyone will give reboot to it (unlikely, but possible). I sadly currently can't check it and can't rember what it was when I tried it.

I would suggest to not undergo such drastic namechange but instead to use a slightly less abbreviated form: "MKShuttle" (if it isn't taken too by any other mod, of course).

This will keep user familiarity and also makes gamedata folder name more standing out.

This was the first name, I dropped it because I saw an add-on with the same abbreviated name, it is above this post.

"MKShuttle" is quite good, and most importantly I have not found a similar name.

[DimonD]

1. The root folder is now named "MKShuttle", so if you've used this add-on before, it will be removed from the game.
2. Some textures have been slightly updated:

(Example)

3. Added one more solar panel.
4. The model of the DS-1 antenna has been changed, and a new DS-2 antenna has been added:

5. Satellites now use XenonGas for RCS.
6. Changed the position of the main docking port, now when switching to it, it will have the correct orientation for docking.

That mod only used the "Kerbin Mini Shuttle" name from 2013-2014. After that, it was renamed the Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter (KSO) or for a time, Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter System (KSOS). There isn't a conflict if @DimonD wanted to use it. KSO has passed through several hands, and the current maintainer is idle at the moment:

 

Definitely going to try this mod out - it looks great. Nice work, DimonD!

Interested to see how others get along, but for me, this version still creates kabloobabytes of waterfall nullrefs. Steps: sandbox, sample craft on pad, ctrl+alt+f12.

I really don't know much about .cfg, and at the moment I have no idea what is wrong with it, if it does not work correctly, the only option now is to suspend WF support.

I'm with you there! Maybe it's working for other people and just not me. Without the WF folder, everything seems to work fine. 

Your new artwork is really fantastic by the way!

Are you going to add the Antonov?

No, because it has nothing to do with this add-on

¿is there some RPM IVA that can fit to this shuttle?

Thanks for the kind words!

By the way, here's the sequel to starship, although of course it's not finished yet:

 

Any updates on this? It looks fantastic

Probably, there are several other mini shuttles you can look at to get an IVA for yourself

No, since the updated starship has already appeared on the forum, I see no reason to make another one.

oh bummer this thing looks lit. the other ones are realistic for sure but they really just look like steel cans with flappy things welded on. Not a real space ship.
