[1.0.2] NovaPunch 2.09. - May 6th - 1.0 Compatibility Update

[Evil Beaver]

So them AWL wingload parts are nice, But it needs something to put in the end. Or just make a one piece wing to use in SPH

[szpw]

This is, by far, my favourite mod for KSP.

Keep up the good work!

They are nice for jet-engine mounts.

[CyclonicTuna]

So is there gonna be an update for v0.16?

[Resender]

There better be, also lot of bug fixes needed

[Synthesis]

I certainly hope so--I\'d really like the sizes being updated to reflect the larger modules, alongside support for 0.16 features (EVA most obviously).

It\'ll just take some time, like the update.

[Tiberion]

I plan on updating yet. Haven\'t been able to get the final release downloaded, though I have one of the later experimentals at least.

Not quite sure how to go about the resizing. Probably will keep the current 1m parts as '1 kerbal' sized parts (since the SIDR pod is already Mercury style) and then upscale the newer pod to be a 3man, and make the 1.75 and 2m parts fit that (rather than have them be 2 different sizes)

Then we\'ll have to see how well the 3m parts 'upscale' to be super-heavy parts.

Adding hatch volumes and ladder colliders and all of that business as well.

So, patience guys. Sorry

[Zaran]

Something I wanted to ask, would you be able to add another 3m engine splitter plate? I was thinking a 3m > 9x1m plate might work well with the new standard size.

(Totally not a Falcon 9 fan, no not at all.)

And also, thanks for keeping this pack alive and all your hard work towards it Tiberion!

Its ok, I\'ve got patience , I just wanted to know if you would continue updating and expanding the remix pack because I think its one of the best mods out there, and it would be a shame to drop a project with so much potential.

It\'s a hard call to make. Many of your existing parts fit in quite well, on the other hand, I do think you could scale everything up 75% so that the default pod fits with the larger parts and can reasonably hold a three man crew. Of course, that means cutting out 1-meter support, and a LOT of resizing work. Maybe keep smaller, unmodified versions of a few parts (technically, anyone could do that, but it would be nice to name them differently to acknowledge the size difference).

That\'s just my take on it. I\'m sure you\'ll figure out what you should do. I have no real idea of the actual part sizes that the NP pack is based on, with the exception of that they\'re probably much smaller than they actually are.

[antiquark]

Actually I think the sizing is pretty good, it allows a more detailed, 'fine grained' approach to design. Maybe just keep the existing things as-is, and add a few more extra-large pieces.

[Eldestish]

I think a temporary solution would be to add adapters for the new parts to 1.75,2,1 and 3 meter parts..

[Taverius]

The Odin will be one sleek 3m lander :3

P.S. I\'ve been using the black strut already, it needs to have a longer max distance nao

I think the urgent need we hace is an asas and sas modules for the new size

[ziogatto]

Take your time and do it nicely, you\'re not a worker you don\'t need to meet some deadline or anything xD

Anyway I think you should do the rescaling as you said, or at least match either 1.75 or 2 to the size of stock things because one thing that is severly lacking are decouplers that hide engines... i mean they look like they\'re floating in the air above the other stage! XD

Agreed. We need better shrouds.... I mean, sure, it works without being covered. it looks like shit though, and having a rocket that looks like what it is (assembled out of random parts) makes me sad.....

[kulesz]

That\'s something I can 1000% agree, those decouplers were one of the best parts ever (good looking + very practical). I miss them a lot after 0.16 and looking forward to see some new ones

[antiquark]

One thing that would be nice is a 5 meter shroud, it would cover up those bulky landers. Also a 5 meter tank would be useful. And 5 meter engines too!

[KevinTMC]

I\'m prone to get really confused regarding sizes. (Are the new stock parts 1.75m? 2m? 3m?)

Ideally, the dimensions of all parts, stock and add-on, should be given in their item descriptions in the 'store', along with mass and drag and other stats. Good naming conventions and/or properly-scaled preview images (I\'m looking at you, tri-coupler!) would make it even easier to keep track.

[Zenton8787]

Does anyone know, namely the modders, if the fuel tank parts in this or any mod need to be recalculated due to the new way that fuel tanks work?

[Tiberion]

Indeed thrusts, weights, and fuel are all going to be off. Using the released NP versions is going to be highly unpredictable in 0.16.

I do think I have a pretty good idea of how things will shape up; its just going to be a bit of work.

Guys, you realize that the new 3 man pod is 2m in size and already fit with all the 2m parts of this package? Also, the 2m shroud/decouplers hide the new engines very well.

Personally, I don\'t think there\'s a need for resizing since everything already fit nicely. The 1m parts are still needed for smaller crafts. The only thing needed is a little balancing, but even then, it\'s pretty good as it is.

I wouldn\'t mind more crewable pods/quarters of different sizes though.

If that is true, then I support this wholeheartedly. Keep things as they are, just rebalance.

Except for, you know, the command modules.

Oups, you\'re right. I don\'t use the pods from this pack, that\'s why I forgot those. The Odin remodeled and resized in 2m for 0.16 could be pretty badass. 8)
