[1.3] Starshine Industries: Extendable Nozzle

[bigdad84]

Voted in the poll... Looks like stock-a-like is winning..... Substantially!

[ganinian]

Im having a little trouble on making airbags that actually work, and because school has started for me (unfortunately) the next release will be a little far away.

Rockomax "Ditto" is my idea

- GregoxMun

It wasn't, although I've looked at your post and found that it perfectly matches my engine, could say we have similar brains.

P.S. Would you mind if I take your idea this time on the next engine, your rockomax poodle looks pretty interesting

Great mod! I have a suggestions/requests for your stock a-like project. A double 2M Mainsail, 1M 4 nozzle engine with vectoring and finally a stock alike Fairing. Which works exactly the same as the KW one,but is stock styled.

Thanks.

[runmug]

can you make a 3 nozzle engine with a slight angling? i love shuttles so if you can it would be great.

[trvtannenberg]

Maybe some stockish upper stage tank, like block DM or delta upper stage?

[DYJ]

Those stock-esq parts look great, but you need to throw up a license. PM me or another moderator if you need help.

Keep up the good work!

So, any progress on the Taurus rockets?

Oh so you are making airbags?

I will love you forever.

[Whirligig Girl]

I'm glad to see I got the credit for the Vigor. I'll DL it right away.

[ganinian]

Yep, orion motors are done already, working on the fairings and some other stuff.

[Whirligig Girl]

Vigor is WAY too powerful, the original concept was for the Service Propulsion System rocket motor, which had 190 thrust. My idea was 240 Thrust, about equal to the poodle.

[ganinian]

Does anyone want me to change the Athena's fairings into the more "Pointy" and original one?

@ganinian Any chances for 3.75m and 5m stock looking parts (fuel tanks and engines)?

Edited September 1, 2013 by Zirc

[ganinian]

3.75m parts maybe, but not 5m parts.

[sorcerymon]

Would you take a stab at a stock-like 2-man pod? Something like along the lines of Gemini, only stock-like.

[ganinian]

Been wanting to do that long ago, but I have no idea how to make a internal space, will be releasing one once I learn how to

[mushroomman]

I love that jumbo RCS. I've been wanting one of those for quite some time.

[15nelsoc]

I love the look of your stock alike parts, and they elegantly fill holes left in stock parts, but I found that the parts, when unpacked, were 80+ mb, which is the same size as the whole 40+ parts FASA Gemini Pack. I really do love your stock-alike parts and they look beautiful, but is their anyway to reduce their memory footprint?

[ganinian]

80MB?! It's only 15.6 to me! I am certainly going to fix that (If I find how)

[TheCardinal]

Almost all the mbm files are 4MB. The largetwofoldengine has six of those, making it more than 24 MB for just that part.

[wasmic]

That's the thing about MBM files -they take up wicked amounts of space on your hard drive. However, once they get loaded into the game, they only take up as much as an equivalent png or tga file. Ganinian, I would suggest converting the MBM files into TGA files. They take up more space than PNG's, but due to a unity bug, PNG's load very slowly. TGA's are also a great choice as they allow the player to resize the textures as he sees fit, which is very complicated with MBM's. The addons memory footprint in-game, however, will stay the same, no matter what image format you use. Anyway, 6 512*512 files are maybe a bit much for one engine - maybe you could resize some of the textures?

What I came here to post: The Vigor looks quite a bit like a service propulsion system. Apparently, it is not a SPS, though. Great job on hitting the stock style, though. Great job indeed.

[redmario14]

Amazing parts, look similar to stock as well!

[Kerbal01]

Could you make the return to flight version of the Athena which uses a Castor 30 instead of an Orbus-21D, could you also make a Athena III which is a Athena I with Castor instead of a orbus-21, regular first stage but there is a stage below tht with a 2.5 RSRB (like the one on the STS but only 2.5 segments instead of 6)

[Kerbal01]

If you could make a multi adapter for multiple space craft per launch that'd be nice also.Athena is my favorite light sat launcher.
