Astrobug Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 So my goal recently has been to build some decent looking space station parts to fling into orbit. So far, it\'s just some retextured parts and a quick-and-dirty solar panel, but I hope to build some more modules soon. At any rate, I thought you guys might like some new cargo to blow up launch. Astrobug Enterprises parts pack currently includes:A generic sapce station moduleSolar panels (Does not generate fuel)AE Solarpack (Retextured decoupler to attach solar panels)Astrobug Enterprises custom Mk16 parachuteI will be adding more once I figure out how to use my modeling software properly. :-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venku122 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Oh that is so sexy. Finally someone made a spacestation part with solar panels that actually STICK OUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsilon Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Oh that is so sexy. Finally someone made a spacestation part with solar panels that actually STICK OUTIt looks goofy (note I didn\'t say it wasn\'t Kerbal) though during launch because they all stick out. Can\'t wait for animations, because deploying solar panels would be awesome.These are some nice parts you are developing here Astro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Barrett Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 By any chance can you turn this piece into an engine with slightly negative fuel consumption so you can actually collect energy? I know others have. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrit Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Love the parts, the panels and lab are great, make payloads more realistic. I have just a couple of suggestions; the lab texture has the windows a little offset of centre, like it\'s rotated. Could thay be centred so they line up with the windows of the command module please? And the solar panels could be a little brighter looking, they\'re currently rather dark.These are tiny little niggles about what is a good addition to KSP and I suspect will remain a feature in many of my launches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbe Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I love deploying payloads into space and getting it into orbit it gives the game a 'Goal'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venku122 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just wait until you can put modules into orbit to make a space station. Pretty much a super awesome goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolRawley Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I love this! Finally, custom-built space stations instead of premade single parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panichio Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 By any chance can you turn this piece into an engine with slightly negative fuel consumption so you can actually collect energy? I know others have. ThanksYeah, I agree. Otherwise the solar panels are just for show and make your rocket heavier, It would be awesome if you could put the fuel consumption to a negative number.

Astrobug Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Updated some of the textures (Lighter solar panels and centered the lab texture). I\'ll be adding more soon hopefully, but blender seems to dislike my laptop with a passion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrit Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Personally I prefer a solar panel that does nothing except look good and weight some rather than one that does something rude to physics! Though I also try to design with half an eye towards life support and power requirements. Really need to learn Blender to make my own partsBy the way, anyone else having trouble downloading this pack? It seems to download ok but then doesn\'t open (tried under a couple of zip programs, winZip and 7-Zip, same issue). Cleared the internet cache and tried again, still no joy.
