Just make sure to delete NeidonRing.cfg upon updating. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Liao Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hey, nice work on the mod. Just a minor question-- Is this mod compatible with planet packs that change other parts of the system? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is compatible with anything--the only thing it changes is the Neidon system from OPM. Hopefully there should be rescale compatibility soon, though I don't yet know how to implement it.

TheAnimePug Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Hi I had a question, anyone have DeltaV estimates for reaching and landing on the added moons? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnimePug Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Okay having visited all these moons in my tour of Neidon here's my review: First of all awesome and thank you making this! Got a good few hours of fun out of it and definitely made my trip to Neidon worth it The Neidon re-texture looks amazing I got many nice screenshots of it on my trip, I like the rings too they are suitably subtle for a Neptune equivalent My favorite moon has to be Hargalað, my first reaction to seeing it was "my god what is this thing" made sure I landed on a cliff with a nice view of Neidon and got some really good screenshots. Love the sharp cliffs and the crazy terrain My plan was to visit all the Neidon moons except for Thatmo, for the mission requirements here is my experience: Neidon being a gas giant means most of my dV is spent raising and lowering orbit, probably worth it to maximize Oberth effect here or possibly use gravity assists Plane change maneuvers are expensive especially near Neidon which is an interesting challenge for Nito and Tito since they have a very low gravity and are in low orbits. Getting encounters is closer to doing a rendezvous than on traditional bodies and either way you are paying if your inclination is off. Especially Hargalað and Tito were challenging because of their low gravity and because its difficult to transfer from Chymere to Hargalað or from Nito to Tito. I really enjoyed the challenge. For Chymere I spent roughly 200~250 dV on landing, and the same for return to orbit. Probably could be done for much cheaper but my lander was overbuilt The other 3 bodies have such low gravity landing dV is a non-factor, might even be better to just land on RCS pack I decided to start from high up in the Neidon system and work my way down Chymere --> Hargalað --> Nito --> Tito I'm only doing this because I'm visiting Nissee on my way out and want to refuel high in orbit before the plane change. Probably more optimal to come in low and work your way out / direct encounter Chymere from a lower periapsis in order to utilize huge Oberth effect of Neidon From about 19000km orbit and visiting all the moons in said order took about 2.5K dV out of my pusher stage (including encounters and circularizing), the vast majority was spent getting from Chymere / Hargalað to Tito/Nito that took me about 900~1000 dV. The second biggest drain was getting encounters with Tito and Nito, being more precise with my inclination, or doing my plane changes higher up could have saved some dV here. Hope this helps someone plan their mission Thank you again for making this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interplanet Janet Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'll see if I can help maybe make a dV map with this information. BTW, what version is this from? 0.3.7, the latest version, includes a mass change for Neidon and corresponding changes for the other moons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnimePug Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Should be version 0.3.7, I installed this very very recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interplanet Janet Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 0.4 beta is out. Featuring a revamp of Thatmo and Scatterer revamps, open for playtesters to see what bugs may be involved with this. DDSification of new Thatmo maps will come later.
