Entr8899 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 @Don0303 This is an amazing mod and a really novel approach to an issue which has plagued me for a very long time. If I may make a critique, have you looked into using Benjee10's HabTechProps for some of the IVAs? https://github.com/benjee10/HabTechProps Is there any chance you could add 0.9375m and 1.25m part switches for the docking port nodes so they can be used with APAS and CBN ports, and possibly use the lovely new endcaps Benjee10 made for Habtech? Also, would it be possible to fix the Z-fighting issue with the habitation unit when attached to a 5m External Tank (outlined in image below), and possibly add a switch for some sort of aesthetic hatch or connection or something so it doesn't look like the raceways just abruptly end (circled)? https://prnt.sc/XSMLHdckI7aC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfieKSP Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Hi, first of all I wanted to thank you for this awesome mod! If you are still developing it, would you consider making the module floors/ceilings out of truss? Like on Skylab and in the converter modules.

Like on Skylab and in the converter modules. im glad youre liking the mod! i am still developing this mod, but I don't have very much free time at the moment so it's relatively slow going. i did consider skylab-style floors as I do love the look of skylab as a whole, but I have decided against it for 2 main reasons: the transparent trusses look weird when stacked, and look really bad on the bottom/top of tanks as they just go out into open space conceptually the habs are all inflated rigid airmat sections stored in the converter, as was the original plan for the External Tank Station. it may still be something I consider in future with alternative habs, but that would be a while away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thanks for the mod, either way it still will irreversibly change my and a lot of people's' gameplay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad that this mod is giving people such a good experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArgentBlue Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) On 10/2/2024 at 7:26 PM, EndAllFilms said: Is it possible if there is like anyway to cross the modules? I think if you swap one of the inner ports to an inflatable airlock it might work since the inflatable airlock can also serve as an extendable clampotron jr. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to test this yet but hopefully it will be the right length. Edit: not sure if the docking node will appear in the editor, so it may require orbital assembly.
