thorfinn Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Playing around with balance more...Are you going to make engines and decouplers proportionally lighter than they are now? (And fuel heavier?)That would make staging much more useful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaSilisko Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Are you going to make engines and decouplers proportionally lighter than they are now? (And fuel heavier?)That would make staging much more useful...They\'re quite a lot lighter now. The overall balancing goal I\'m going for is small, multistage rockets are much more efficient than large ones. If you want to go to the moon, you\'ll need a large rocket, but other than that...

The overall balancing goal I\'m going for is small, multistage rockets are much more efficient than large ones.Perfect.By the way, I have tried the 0.11.3 ASAS and it\'s shaping up to be a decent flight computer. I tried placing the RCS quads intentionally quite far from CG, and it handled maneuvers pretty well anyway. We just need a bit more flexibility for the future. Are you experimenting with the PID values? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaSilisko Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Could you make these have a negative fuel consumption to make them function properly?The service module functions as an RCS tank currently.Besides, solar panels refilling fuel tanks makes absolutely no sense at all.
