EmperorJon Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Please add a midstage and lander nongimbal engine... eurgh, so annoying. *flipflipflip* STOP EEET. :-\Some longer landing pegs might be nice too. Oh, and may I suggest some more couplers/structural stuff, still Jeb\'s junk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiyel Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Love it! The lander engine feels just about right, I performed a landing very much like a proper apollo one, riding the engine in all the way to touchdown. The adjusted gimballing on the engines still provides nice response without shaking the rocket apart, and I have no complants whatsoever on the redone RCS.You\'re a mad genius. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeroignite Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 This is a good release. I\'ll need to do another couple of iterations over my rocket and see what happens... they\'re getting suspiciously small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 This is really a cool package. Suggestion: Can you add fuel flow-through to the fairing baseplates ? I need to add them manually to make this kind of lander: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blexie Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 There\'s no connection node on the bottom of the new 2m engine.Also it\'s impossible (not by much though) to fit the new lander legs inside a fairing if mounted on the small fuel tank. Not sure if intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorJon Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Added second lander leg, now fits inside fairingsAnyway, I\'ve got issues at the moment with wobble. I\'m sure it\'s default KSP too, but still most of my NS ships rip apart on the pad, wobble rapidly all over the place, or just collapse...

Cepheus Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Really like this pack, good show. it actually made my lunar mission easier (after spending a few hours just trying to get a WORKING ROCKET) and I got my best orbit yet. If in the next version, you include RCS modules that have even less thrust than the vanilla ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The RCS modules in the pack already have far less thrust than vanilla ones, they just look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blexie Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 No it doesn\'t.If mounted on the vanilla fuel tank it does. But not on the \'lander\' fuel tank, which strikes me as defeating the object of having it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Only when you use it with the standard tank. If you use the compact tank, which you would in a lander, it doesn\'t.Damn, ninja\'d.IMO what we need is not more compact legs but rather wider fairings.

EmperorJon Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I don\'t sue the compact tank, because I\'d need 2 to get it there and back... so I use a normal tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sordid Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Isn\'t that by design? The way I understand it, the 2m parts are supposed to be the first stage of a rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blexie Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Isn\'t that by design? The way I understand it, the 2m parts are supposed to be the first stage of a rocket.I actually didn\'t consider this. All I could remember is that the small 2m engine had a lower connection, and wasn\'t sure on the WHAT CAN I DO WITH ALL THESE THRUSTS engine. (Since looking, it doesn\'t have one.)Since it\'s intended to be the medium size I\'m unsure. I can see why he\'d leave it out though, upon reflection.

frenchie16 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 If mounted on the vanilla fuel tank it does. But not on the \'lander\' fuel tank, which strikes me as defeating the object of having it anyway.If you are very careful you can get them to fit when on a small tank. You have a bit of wiggle room between radial connection points where you can slide the lander 'into' or 'out of' the fuel tank, just a little bit. If you do it just right you can use them with fairings on a small tank. Also, possibly mounting them 45 degrees from usual might help? (Speaking of, I am loving the ability to place objects with 4-symmetry at 16 different positions rather than 12, it allows much more freedom in rocket design. Anyone know whether that was KSP SE 0.8 0.7 [oops] or KSP0.12x3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason the fairings are called 'engine fairings', as they work very nicely for covering up the smaller 2m engine when it is used on upper stages. I have used that engine and a 2m tank on many of my Mun rockets as my Kerbin-departure stage and taken it with me to Mun orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this...Sadly there is no way to get a fairing around the lander engine or to tuck in the legs for a craft where the descent stage uses 2M short tank, but otherwise it looks neat.(Also the 2M short tank is just a tad overkill for simple landing, but it does come handy when doing plane changes or long hovers for precision landings to a specific location) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 The new 2m engine isn\'t supposed to be an upper stage engine, it\'s a launch engine, just midrange in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Oh okay. I just use the small engine + some tanks, it\'s entirely capable of delivering the lander to the mun with plenty of deltaV for parking it into a nice munar orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think I\'m going to smush in the sides of the tiny fuel tank, so the new legs fit inside fairings with it. Or I could make bigger fairings, but that might get awkward having that many fairing panels in the list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icefire Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thinner landing tank is good, and fixes some other(rare) problems that I have run into using it with its current width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
