Introduction by @dboi88

The Cargo Freighter was born out of a desire to move LARGE amounts of cargo around in sandbox and late game career saves. With a max part count of only 20 parts the days of building CPU breaking 300 parts ships are gone. While the Cargo Freighter performs its main role amicably it can also be set up to provide a variety of different configurations, including Arkships, passenger iners, debris removal and recycling, mobile construction centres and many more.

Features

• Asymmetrical Design.
• Rear Truss & Main Hull Have Automatic Weight Balancing Feature.
• 5m Kontainer Docking Ports Integrated Into Rear Truss.
• Deliver Kontainers at your destination and bring back empties.
• Range Of Interchangeable Modules In Two Sizes.
• Internal EVA Prep Space With Small Kontainer/Storage Rack.
• None Career Game Breaking (parts are at the end of the tech tree and extremely expensive)
• Fuelled By The Insanely Expensive Karbundrum, You Will Need Mining Operations In Place
• Has To Be Built In Situ (If you manage to reach orbit with this please let me know :D)
• Custom CSI Freighter catagory for all freighter parts.
• Hanger Bay & Cargo Bays Support @allista's hanger mod allowing you to store crafts and re-spawn later.

Installation Directions ¹

Spoiler

Use CurseForge/OverWolf App (currently does not install dependencies)

I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the CKAN mod metadata for my mods.

CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools.

If you are having issues please let the CKAN people know and refer to the CKAN thread.

My support of CKAN extends as far as me checking the checkbox in Spacedock when I upload.

Beware, CKAN can really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.

That's a really good point lol

But I would consider you rulers of different kingdoms, you both adopt mods, but you adopt different mods from @linuxgurugamer

true - @linuxgurugamer adopts mostly code (80% plugins) while I adopt mostly parts (my 80%); 

plus what fun would it be if we both adopted the same mods? Divide, cooperate, and conquer!

Hi! This mod, when launched, prompts me with one of two things:

USITools "Unsupported KSP Version. Please use 1.3.1." 

or

CSIFreighter "Unsupported KSP version. Please use 1.3..1" despite the fact that this mod is apparently up to date with 1.12.3. What's the dealio?

Cabin Notes

Spoiler

This release is in a series of updates to this addon. Each update will update some of the parts and patches so that this addon can be updated in a more manageable manner instead of one massive update.

Part of the complexity is the advanced design of this addon. The addon is designed to be as modular as possible, so that it can be used in a variety of ways.

Another factor is CSI Tools (CSIT) (library addon) that adds vessel CoM balancing which is being handled separately.

Hello again.

I've been trying out the mod and I don't seem to have any part that I can slot into the big middle section of the freighter hull. Looking at the featured video from Kottabos Gaming there is supposed to be a hangar bay called "CSI Freighter Hanger Bay" but it's missing. Trying to load any of the included premade ships in SPH also says this part is missing.

 

KSP.log

Edit: Added an issue on github, with a rudimentary fix to the problem. https://github.com/zer0Kerbal/CoyoteCargoFreighter/issues/119

 

Also, just a heads up, but it's quite hard to figure out where the download link to your mods are sometimes. I had to ctrl-f for "download" to find a link in a comment further down the page. The spoiler for installation directions just tells you to look on some other website for the download. It would be nice if you could de-clutter some of the main post a bit, as I feel like there's so much info, colors, sections, etc, and please add a nice big download button. Still, thanks for the awesome work you do
