[1.0.5] FASA 5.44

[Pariah89]

When i swapped to the current version and started up my save file i got a bunch of warnings that a few ships couldn't be loaded due to missing parts.

So i put the old version back and was slowly working my way through the parts to find the conflict.

[frizzank]

I had to change some of the part names when I converted everything to share textures and folders for the .21 update. I apologize for the loss of your save games and craft files, but .21 was a major change in KSP and I had to update it.

I'm sure there will be more changes as new stock KSP systems come online so be warned.

It's all good, the problem wasn't that a ship wasn't compatible anymore, it was that is wasn't paying attention to the warning message so i didn't know which ship I had the problem with.

[NathanKell]

And can I just say how much I _love_ that you're sharing textures?

Only thing better would be if you also shared those same textures with NovaPunch, since your remade NP engines share (some of) those textures.

Winged Gemini goes to the Mun!

Nice, I have only successfully landed back at the KSP runway once, I usually overshoot and land in the ocean.

Also the wing will fit ontop of any .625m part as well as the the Gemini RCS pack.

[NathanKell]

Any chance you could make a Centaur too? Or at least a round-at-both-ends tank, in the same style as the rest of these parts? Heck, you could reuse the same engines from the Transtage and I doubt anyone would mind.

I'm already using your Mini-LR-91 as a fake RL-10 (and a minified LR-87 as the Dual-Engine-Centaur twin RL-10) and I'd love to have a proper tank stage to go with it.

You can try using the Centaur from the ULA pack, but I agree, a proper old-style Centaur would be great.

I do get descent guidance from MechJeb. I've found that (from about a 100km orbit) if you enter the atmosphere with your predicted touchdown point 30km west of KSC, you can glide right to the runway.

If you want to be on the safe side and guarantee you don't come up short of the runway, deorbit to 25km west of KSC. This will put you at about 3000m right over KSC. Turn and circle around once and you'll be set up for the landing.

Probably not going to make that version, it's too similar to the one that's already in there.

[NathanKell]

Um...how so? Other than both being upper stages (just as Atlas and Titan-1 are lower stages...) they look pretty different from the Transtage, at least to me. And certainly have different performance! The Centaur's twice the size and the thrust and much more dV.

But you're the boss. Whatever you want to make, I'll appreciate.

Though...could you at least rename the Transtage to be the Transtage, and not Centaur?

I could make it, but my time is limited. Would the community rather have another engine/fuel pack combo or the maned orbital laboratory. I don't have time to do both...

I can change the name in the description to reflect that its a Transtage.

[15nelsoc]

No offense NathanKell, but if I had to vote I would definitely pick the manned orbital laboratory.

[NathanKell]

I would too, for the record, and do.

[CaptRobau]

Manned Orbital Laboratory.

[Kerbal01]

Meh, I'd just use make my self a Skylab. Make a centaur instead.

Another vote for the MOL.

[Railgunner2160]

MOL for the record....

[Deltac]

No vote for Atlas 1 properly done in KSP? Man, Atlas is sure going to shrug tonight.

*ba dum ch!*

We should cut off this Ayn Rand punnery at The Fountainhead.

Seriously though, I'd personally prefer to have the MOL.

[HeadHunter67]

Add my vote for the MOL as well - basically, anything that lets you do more in space besides look out the window.

[czokletmuss]

I vote for MOL too

[wasmic]

I vote for the MOLab too. Although a proper Atlas rocket would be awesome, seeing as it was needed to send the Mercury capsule to orbit.
