[1.1.3] Large Structural Components [24th August 2016]

[Tommygun]

I can't remember if I posted these or not?

Anyways, I'm feeling really gassy right now.

[udk_lethal_d0se]

You did, still looks awesome.

Hi lethal, just a quick issue that may or may not be easily resolvable...

The two new modules, the lobby/factory thingy... if you take a small light from B9 Aerospace r3 pack (which more or less everyone uses), and radially attach them, they sit "inside" the model although still work. IE, once you place them down you can never click them again.

Thoughts?

Well, my first thought was to check my collision meshes... which as you can see, seem fine to me. So, I'm not sure what the issue is, I'll have a look at the B9 Pack later today.

Hey, while we're on the subject of lights, is there any chance you can just integrate distributed light spots around each of your modules? They'll just turn on much like the station windows. This way part count is decreased significantly and in turn performance improved for large stations.

A nice as this is, it would be a large task. I'd need to go through each model, adjust each animation, re-compile, etc.

[theSpeare]

Oh, my bad! Sorry - don't know much about the process. Thanks anyway

[mosolov]

Wow, awesome, gonna try these parts.

The scifiest ship created with this pack so

Normally I create reasonably normal stations with this pack, but the new Lean modules made this Interplanetary Passenger Liner impossible not to make.

[Orphican]

Skyvault In development.

[kyle.mk.howard]

That's a pretty sweet design!

[Virtualgenius]

I have one similar to it now to get it into space

And up she goes on her way to the stars

Used some of the parts on this ship. Very useful.

[Artophwar]

Very Nice. I dont use any other packs except for KSPX because I like to keep the stock look. These will work very nicely for my stations and interplanetary ships. Thank you.

There is a problem with your spherical tanks they do not allow any lights or structural objects like landing legs or cubical octagional struts

to be attached is that by design or is it a bug

Just rebuilt KSP. 100% clean... these parts are now missing their textures. What did I break?

They do not allow objects to be attached other than onto the defined nodes, this is by design.

I have no idea, make sure that you have installed the parts correctly into the defined folder structure.

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me

*sigh* I hate to sound thick, but I can't seem to understand how the structural tabs are supposed to work. I know I'll kick myself once it's clear, but I would appreciate a bit of guidance. Thanks!

[HoY]

They mount radially and you install quantum struts onto them. So it requires installing the quantum strut mod as well.

[Guest]

Ah, that makes sense now! Thanks for clearing it up for me.

[Railgunner2160]

If your using them for more permanent mounting points regular struts work pretty well too.....

[Virtualgenius]

I am finding the large docking points dont stick to the structures very well they fall off in launch even when struted is it possible to make the ancher nodes stronger

[entaran]

Docking Sr's are crap in general. Use Quad or tri coupler regular docking ports and some patience to get them all to hook together in space (may require a LOT of launches)... or alternatively modify the fuel tank part.cfg so it has no fuel in it and is a whole lot lighter (and easier to launch).... which is what I do.

Also you really don't need quantum struts with the tabs. The tabs are amazing with normal struts.

Just love building stations with this.
