mushroomman Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I asked this before but I didn't get an answer so I'm going to ask it again.Would you consider making a miscellaneous parts pack after this is finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helldiver Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 I asked this before but I didn't get an answer so I'm going to ask it again.Would you consider making a miscellaneous parts pack after this is finished?No, sorry I don't have that kind of time.My main goal is parts aimed at the KSO. Many of those parts will more than likely be generic just small enough to fit into the cargo bay. However you can use those parts for anything else.-Mini-rover. More than likely will be one whole thing with a few accessories such as batteries and instruments.-Mini moon lander kit. Command pod, fuel section, rover roll-on-roll-off, and engine mount.-Space station kit. Basically a series of components to build a space station all compatible with the KSO.

Odyssey Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 You only get 1 rudder actually, but in the VAB you can place as many rudders as you wish. There's attach nodes for a v configuration or if you want to put it on top of the fuselage end.Same for the LRB, you only get 1 and you just copy it or place another in the VAB, heck you can place 8 of them if you want.This just brings me to an interesting idea. I'm wondering if one could place another shuttle on the opposite side of the ET. Essentially launching 2 shuttles with 1 tank and booster set. With a back-of-the-napkin calculation, I'm betting the task could be done with an extended ET and perhaps packing in 2 boosters on each side instead of one. For the record, I'm not entirely sure what purpose launching a second shuttle would serve (or how the game controls would handle it) but I think it's an interesting notion.Food for thought.

I think it will be around 1.8m still.Helldiver, may I request a fairing adapter (1.8m <-> 2.5m) to be mounted on the aft end of the shuttle for this purpose? Version 2.0 perhaps?

SkyHook Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Or three.No, I need you alive for playtesting!Now that my summer trip to Spain is over (as of an hour ago) I can now focus completely on this project. If all goes well public(ish) testing should commence in at most a week's time. It is pretty much the IVA that is left to do. Sorry for the wait so far./offtopic: Can't wait to land the Shuttle at Kerbin City International Airport, by the way. I hope the runway is long enough.I hope you had as much fun as I did last fall!

Sapphire Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Why not other bird names? Eagle is overused by now. What about Raptor, Harrier, Condor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 About the name... can w change it? could a poll be opened, what about Valiant or GraftonI floated this a few dozen pages ago. It's too tricky to set up a palette swap for this kind of thing at least for the time being. I'm betting that an enterprising sort of player might be able to tweak the final skin that comes with the kit anyway. Personally, I'm willing to wait for her to come out of the hanger before we worry what name or flag or livery we give her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyze Of J Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I would personally think, just as a matter of opinion, that it should have a name taken from a British navy vessel, like the Space Shuttles, or a name taken from a Mammal or Bird.

Zaran Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 We did, the shuttle we get will not have a name on the wings (if I remember correctly) so can we not do the name argument again please?Been following this project since the thread opened and really excited to watch it all come together. Cannot wait to get my hands on it so keep up the amazing work guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
