tygoo7 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) I am using those large double solar panels on my space station. But whenever I go back to the station the solar panels are undeployed and say they are extended? When I click retract them they just suddenly appear and retract.EDIT: Nvm I downloaded the new version Edited August 11, 2013 by tygoo7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare to compare to the stock Strut. Edited August 12, 2013 by CardBoardBoxProcessor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryulenko Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Those struts look Awesome but, How much they weight?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Those struts look Awesome but, How much they weight?.they will probably weight the same as stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryulenko Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) That sounds good, maybe in the next release i will forget that a stock strut existed, why? Because they dont place as how i want (Because its too big for me) I also took a screenshot on the build of my space monster Powered by Kosmos Rocket Engines!Here It is my evil machine OF THE DE..... ...CARGO LINE!.And here it is almost ending its travel (The scape tower its a little overpowered for the payload due to small Weight).I will edit parts to make it look a bit more like a R-7 Edited August 12, 2013 by Zaryulenko Images :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I am fascinated by people using RD-0146 as a landing engine lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryulenko Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I am fascinated by people using RD-0146 as a landing engine lol.Well if Landing at 90 m/s Can be called "Hard Soil contact Maneuver" then yes it landed, but it was just almost the last stage because inside there was a Skycrane whit my experimental mining Rover Tank (Because it has tracks instead of wheels). Too bad it was really retarded and just started to move weird but its okay i will send another DOS 7M (M stands for Missile ) to blow it up just for fun.EDIT: I use the RD-0146 for landing because for the Isp it has so i can use it again to save fuel during descent and go back home when mission ends, i could use a LV-N instead but after my Nuclear stage landers missions none of them was efficent for me.

Xzabath Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I have a question about the Firespitter plugin, do I need to overwrite the firespitter for b9 to use KOSMOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMrBond Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The scape tower its a little overpowered for the payload due to small WeightHah, I bet, it's meant to safely pull off a whole VA stack so TWR on lighter stacks would be a hair raising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaryulenko Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Hah, I bet, it's meant to safely pull off a whole VA stack so TWR on lighter stacks would be a hair raisingwhen i used it it was just for slowing the descent while using the liquid Engines to keep it stable (It was stable for just 3 seconds) then i decoupled it as fast as i could.... Im going to use it on my other Monster rocket instead of this one (I will only use this one on really heavy payload)Edit for cBBp: Top one looks great!.

Rassa Farlander Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Question for ya! Does this use the new reaction wheels or the old sas? Im looking through .ctg files and I think Im still seeing the old modules although Im no programmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs1110101 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I found a typo in the cost of the RD-210, it costs 19859, it seems that's one digit too many.I just looked over the prices abit more, try to make them a bit more on par with everything else.

Thourion Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Sorry to bring this up again CBBP, i remember beign discussed some time ago, but dont remember what was the outcome lol...Anyways, are you going to make the APAS port to be compatible with anything else? Or you going to leave it docking with itself only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 weird. For some reason APAS-69 jsut does nto play well with anything docking wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thourion Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Well yeah, i made a multiport frankestein craft, hyperedit it in orbit, and then i took lots of smaller ones with 1 port each.Any and all combinations worked, moded and stock ports as long as they were size1. Including the more "weird" looking ones, like bobcat's Orion port, or Laz's big Dragon ring port.APAS though only worked with itself. When getin near any other port it doesnt even magnetize...My only guesses are collider issues in the model itself, or something weird in the cfg, like the node coords or something.

wasmic Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hey CBBP, according to NovaSilisko in this thread, TGA files both take up less Space AND import faster than MBM, especially the TGA-compressed format. Do you think it would be possible to change format to TGA, or would it take too long time for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it would be possible to change format to TGA, or would it take too long time for you?well once upon a time I had used tgas and people drew ponies all over the things and criticized my style of UV mapping. I did not like this.In other news and as sad as it is. while the strut works fine for everything else. when you eject apart that has the strut on it. It never disconnects Edited August 12, 2013 by CardBoardBoxProcessor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 BobCat uses TGA textures and people don't draw ponies on his parts. It might've been that way back during the days of the first KOSMOS pack, but plenty of time has passed. With the memory issues KSP is facing, TGA is a really good choice, especially since SSPP is best used with some kind of LV mod. With the N1, it could probably be reduced to just the procedural fairings mod, but now, you need something to launch those stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
