Netris Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 If I may, might I suggest you add the ability to play pong on flight computer? I'm sure the kerbals would enjoy the distraction! Why not HSP, human space program ? Anyway, good to have some news Bac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahappydude Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 They recruit modders beacuse modders thought of and made many things that they couldnt or hadnt thought of so im thankfull for every person that modsLatest trials with this parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabor Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 So using this pack and a few other parts, such as the Modular Wheels, I've managed to create an Orbiter that can ferry payloads that are quite large into Orbit, and glide back to KSC. I posted some pictures in the pictures sticky thread, but now here's a video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlonic Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 @SaborVery well done here, this is just ... impressive !Care to share the .craft ? Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphican Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Very cool orbiter but I have to ask how did you get that to orbit? I ask because im trying to develop a horizontal takeoff/landing ssto cargo craft. Im at that point where im wondering why im doing this lol.

Both the fuel tanks feed into the Orbiter's fuel tank, too, so even its engine is firing away on launch.

I ask because im trying to develop a horizontal takeoff/landing ssto cargo craft. Im at that point where im wondering why im doing this lol.I too am trying to develop this. I think my biggest problem is trying for too large of a payload. I want to build one that can fly up to a refueling station in orbit, gas up and fly out to a shipyard (orbital construction) out at geosynch, then fly back to KSC. I intend to combine this with KAS and use the Romfarer/Bobcat robotic arms to load new payloads into the bay then launch again.I have yet to get a large enough space-plane up dry let alone with a payload.

xeon_1 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Here are some pic's of my space plane although it can't land on land.i want it to land on water but now with the current game that is not possible for me.it is designed to be a fuel carrier although i need to add some more rcs tanks to it.The srb's in the second pic are part of the circulation burn they provide near 50 to 70 % of the thrust required to spare fuel Edited May 18, 2013 by xeon_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warshawski Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 You know, I'm confused as to why the team is recruiting so many amazing art guys from modding. Stock KSP already has most of the parts it needs, so adding more just adds redundancies. Unless they plan to redo some of the stock parts, or add hundreds of new parts, I don't know. But I'm having a hard time imagining their post-hiring output, in the stock game, to be as large as their modding output.I suppose a few parts could be improved by a redo, and there's the pods missing IVA's, and space station/surface base parts, and resources parts. Plus the eventual DLC stuff. I guess it does make sense.The reason for it is that the old Dev Team was feeling extremely cramped with the amount of work they had on their plates. They saw how much attention certain mod packs were getting and how good they were, and did the smart thing and gave a modder a job. I think it's brilliant, personally - it makes updates more full and come quicker! Or at least have more stuff in them when they do - having more brains and computers attacking a problem is never a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modders being picked are not being chosen because of fancy new parts, they are being chosen because of quality and implementation. The plans for the stuff in KSP are such that they have really just now finished the core material and are getting ready to really start cranking out stuff like resources, proper missions, crew training, etc. And as an example when they get ready to really get into resources, it would be prudent for them to consult with Kulesz and Majiir (Kethane) because of the quality and implementation of the Kethane pack.

Sabor Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Devs hiring on the talented modders isn't a new thing. It happens a lot. And why shouldn't it.

Sabor Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Do we know if the large 2.5m Mk5 cockpit piece will get an interior cockpit? I'm all for using the S2 type that's already available, but if you swap the interior to that one, you still can't see outside so it's only slightly more useful Edited May 19, 2013 by Sabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very, very hard and time-consuming thing to make, and I wasn't planning to work on them for immediate update due to lack of time. Even if I wasn't hired it would have been unlikely for these IVAs to arrive soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I wasn't hired it would have been unlikely for these IVAs to arrive soon.I was fine with that, I thought perhaps support for adding one of the already amazing IVA's would be thrown in place so there would be something. I just tried, again, to replace the stock GenericSpace in the Mk5 with the great S2 interior and now I can actually see outside, rather than just a cockpit inside the model with no way to see out. I don't know if anything changed to allow that between 2.1 and 2.5, but I'm happy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
