Gojira Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 UhWould we be able to deorbit it? As in will it be able to survive crashdown from orbit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC3craze Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 would you like me to make it less blocky? all it really needs is some champfering on those leading edges or something. +1 chamfer is my favorite tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico88 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Interesting concept. The reference of the early shuttle concepts are clear, that was the first thing that crossed over my mind. Furthermore, +1 for mixing the different shuttle designs, it looks realy cool. However there are two things that I dont like:1. The oblique line painting on the rear. It would be better if it was straight, it\'s a bit annoying this way.2. It\'s strange, that the windows are almost on the top (but this isn\'t such a big issue).In any case, the textures are looking good, the craft as a whole is really neat. I\'m looking forward to the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot Knight Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 2. It\'s strange, that the windows are almost on the top (but this isn\'t such a big issue).On a fair note, Kliper would have been designed with side portholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico88 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 On a fair note, Kliper would have been designed with side portholes.That\'s true. It just feels a bit strange, because this is not a porthole. But as I wrote before, it\'s not a big issue, I don\'t mind if it stays this way. Thinking about it, the nose texture is just too cool to modify it because of mowing the windows there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamyesque Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hey, Slew, can you do me a favour? I\'d like some tweaks to a few parts. See, I\'m trying to build a proper two-stage LM, and yours are the right size and look good (the 1m nosecone atop a capsule decoupler atop the lander), but I am confronted with a fundamental issue: That\'s only three parts; I need a minimum of six:1. Descent engine (liquid)2. Descent engine tank3. Descent module RCS fuel4. Decoupler5. Ascent engine (solid; technically it was a liquid but was burned at 100% throttle, so this saves me a part)6. Ascent module RCS fuelI\'m hoping you can split the lander apart into three different parts and make the collision mesh for the main body work like a shroud, so that the ascent engine can be put inside it. A similar modification applied to the capsule decoupler part would be fantastic as well. I can probably Kerbal up an ascent RCS block, but if you could split the top into two pieces as well that would be EXTRA fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketTuna Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I just started playing KSP yesterday, and thanks to this post (http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=6037.0), I decided to download your pack.Fantastic work! Everything was very intuitive to use, looked great and fit in near-flawlessly with the default parts. I spent today researching other packs, and I haven\'t found a single one that comes close (if there are any, someone tell me!).Thank you for the work you\'ve put in!

Slew Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 would you like me to make it less blocky? all it really needs is some champfering on those leading edges or something. I went back and remodelled the nose. It looks a lot better now, and I\'ve learned some new tricks with edit poly. UhWould we be able to deorbit it? As in will it be able to survive crashdown from orbit?It can bank, pitch and survive an impact, but it\'s not a smooth ride. I\'m going to add a special parachute for safer landings.Hey, Slew, can you do me a favour? [...]An improved lander is something I\'ve considered.

I already have a few ideas in my head, I\'ll upload the best ASAP, which will be probably tomorrow. I\'m curios what\'ll the others come up with.

Gubru Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Can\'t wait for the next update. Would really like it if I could attach fuel tanks to the side of other tanks, ala the default fuel tank.Would make for great parallel rocket designs!This is my favourite pack.

Surface attach for fuel tanks will be in the next update.In other news: the space plane is now fully textured.My next task is to create some RCS blocks that will attach to the back.

Slew Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Images from the latest test flight:Note the eight (fully functional) RCS nozzles on the nose, the gigantic aerospike engine and the signature orange heat shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico88 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well, it\'s interesting. The shape is noticebly smoother. The textures are very nice and detailed.I have only two problems:- The orange heatshields: Black would be way better.- The engine: It\'s quite strange and big. But if the stock liquid engine, or any other can be used for the shuttle, I have no objections.Otherwise it\'s really neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
je_day Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hmm.. i like it, but in desigh Nova\'s won. I think bblack or white ship will be awesome.I hope it will be like Mei long, where all is included: ASAS. RCS, land function. There Nova\'s mistake.

Gojira Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Heatshields are uuuugly IMO, but the rest is fine.Go with a black heatshield.Orange looked fine on the Mei Long, but not this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
