Slew Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Well these parts are fantastically overpowered, and not the good kind of fantastic.^Single stage to orbit (and back) rocket, pretty silly if you ask me.This is why I need people testing my stuff.Overpowered parts is the last thing I want.Hmm... I\'m not sure what the best way of fixing it is.Any suggestions would be really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYJ Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Check out http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=3133.0We don\'t really have anything ironed out yet, but Johnman posted a wip spec calculator ( think the fueltank works, the rest is a bit wonky) which can be of a little help at least. Also: Parts look pretty and doesn\'t seem to have any problems other than the whole OP issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slew Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Thanks man, I really appreciate it.Is the problem just in the fuel tanks, or should I be looking at the specs on the other parts too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYJ Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 You better look at everything, one of those big solid boosters get you to 40k altitude be itself for example. And most engines seem a bit too fuel efficient and/or have a too high thrust to weight ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slew Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Slew, could you do a proton-like side attachable liquid engines?I\'ve done a proton-like side attachable solid engine.It was actually one of the first parts I ever did. Not textured yet.I could redo it as a liquid if you\'d like.Damnyoujapan, I\'ve redone the fuel tanks using the IKAO calculator, and I\'ll lower the efficiency of the 2m engines a bit and cut the burn time of the boosters.I\'ll do that later though because it\'s 1AM here and I have work tomorrow. ???

Dynd Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I absolutely love this pack! Just did a successful mission with it. Goals were: At least 1 week of orbit, to travel over 5 million k from kearth, to put the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit and hardest of all; to land back at the launch pad after this enormous journey. Everything went as planned, I travelled almost 10k from Kearth and landed on the flat ground besides the launch pad. I would love to see an animated satellite of some sort in the future that for example expands its solar panels, if that is even possible.

Luigibro606 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Unfortunatly the current Unity engine doesn\'t support animation, otherwise we\'d have opening solar panels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slew Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 I\'ve been working on balancing the parts this evening.Fuel tanks now closely match the IKAO Specs (except I used rounded numbers because I\'m like that).2 metre liquid engines are much less efficient, and all engines now have a consistent power-to-weight ratio.I\'ve also cut the burn time on the boosters and, where appropriate, adjusted the thrust.Everything definitely feels less overpowered, but I\'ll keep experimenting for a day or two before I release the changes.After I\'ve done that, I think I\'ll focus on the 3 metre parts I have planned, and some structural stuff like a 2 metre Tri-Coupler.

DYJ Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Sounds great.If we can get this pack properly balanced I don\'t have to release a set of rocket parts and can continue making aircraft parts I can\'t be arsed to texture and release to the public. If you are going for a 'complete pack' kind of deal you should probably throw in a few münlander legs. A 2m tricoupler might even be a new part, good thinking.

spite48 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Since we\'re discussing possible parts projects:What about a series of completely impractical parts whose sole purpose is to make it a challenge to get them into orbit, or onto the mun?Like a 20m diameter lander with a casino on top? - extremely heavy and lots of drag, the point being the challenge of getting it safely to the mun.Or a one-piece space station, because kerbals are so practically minded. Instead of launching in small payloads, use moar boosters and send it up whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
