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

[HoY]

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.

Quad or triple docking port configurations are fine if its strictly structural, but they don't cross feed fuel without extra fuel lines bypassing the splitters.

Structural tabs without quantum struts,, what's the point? With stock struts you can place them internally so you won't see the struts at all. If you want the grey look you can use the strut guns from the quantum strut pack. They have the same function as quantum strut except they have metallic grey beams instead of blue.

As for editing part cfg's, it's a single player game and everyone can play how they like, but where's the engineering challenge in making everything easy??

Love the mod... Anyway, I'm looking out to what you've got planned, as I feel like something's missing:

Not giving any hints at all... Just... no...

Big fan! keep up the awesome work

[HoY]

Surprised we haven't seen new parts in so long. They were literally flooding out few weeks ago!

[mrsinister]

nice stations there

[Virtualgenius]

Well I decided to build a colony lander to use on Duna and your mods seem the best to use with a mixture of other mods from other players

Warning Image Heavy and this sucker is nuclear

I give you the Duna Behemoth

Thanks for all your efforts wouldnt have been possible without your parts

Was getting pretty far on my LS/SC parts station

And then made a giant boo-boo with deleting a mod, and it all disappeared, so here's the last WIP shot I had of it after docking the last solar boom.

Nice solar panels what mod are they

It's from the Kosmos pack.

Where did you get these Lazers? On the picture of the "UDK-IT1 Brace"?

Quiet... No sh-t Sherlock... Yeah he said:

I have taken a well-earned break from all things computer games, as I do a degree in the subject as well as this. I will be producing more parts soon, don't worry.

Here he said soon... He also said soon here:

I am still working on the plugin at the moment, all is good. Will give another update soon.

Which was almost a month ago.

but just like someone stated

He's been recalled to the mothership due to recent concerns over the security of the landing sites in north eastern Africa.

You'll get that one when you watch the news.

And finally after much cursing, cajoling, hair pulling frustration and even more tweaks and design changes I give you all . . .

Absolutely insane work, and I love the stockalike nature of it.

[JunkyardDog]

Beautiful work, but is it compatible with 0.21+? I'd guess so, but never hurts to be sure.

[Gaius]

It has no command pods, SAS units, or DLLs, so, yeah... there's nothing in it that would have been made incompatible.

I hope OP is just on vacation, those parts are great and the plugin seemed quite promising. Anyway it deserves more attention.

[Absolute Human]

Maybe, just maybe, but would it be appropriate to make the attachments nodes on these thighs... em... large?

It is just a matter of adding ,2 to the line of properties in cfg files... Yes it doesn't affect the strength of connections, but looks nicer

I've already done it myself with my parts, but I'm sad that people always ignore this visual feature

...Oh, btw, the parts are great!

Would you mind posting a pic of the difference that makes?

I don't have a picture of it, but it's the difference between the big green ball and the regular size green ball when adding parts in the VAB. I think you can see the difference in the 2.5 to 1.25m adapter piece, one side has the regular (size 1) node and the other has the large (size 2) node.

[KoalaKhaos]

Great mod, I will certainly use it in the future. The only reason that I won't be using it now is because of the lack of IVA and EVA. Otherwise, excellent job on the models!

[I.R.L.]

Are the lights on the spherical tanks part of the tank? or another part?

[Orphican]

I mean the difference the node size makes to the appearance of the part.

[Van Disaster]

Using these as my station parts in my 0.21 game - they're awesome! would love some docking adapters in the same style. I know the Fustek ones fit but they're not quite the same visually.
