Neutrinovore Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hello Vlam. I hope all is well with you and yours. Just making a shameless bump here, don't want to let this great project fall too far off the radar. I suspect that nasty thing called 'real life' that I've heard mentioned has reared its ugly head, but I thought I'd check in anyway, ask how it's going, etc. So...'How's it going?'Lol. Slightly more seriously, I do hope that everything is okay with you on a 'R/L' basis, and also that work is occurring, at least somewhat, on the Titan. I look forward to hearing some news soon, my friend.Later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrinovore Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Okay, one last try...I'm still eager to see this project completed, and hope all is well with you, Vlam. I remain hopeful, but that hope is waning. Later...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VlamBallas Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hey hey, As is quite obvious: Ive been away from the forum & KSP for a while, busy, sigh.. Just a quickie to let yall know, I am officially resuming work on this li'l bugger..Cant give any predictions, gotta catch up again first...To spare me a bit of thread crawling and indecissiveness:..To all interested parties, what form should the cargo bay take in Beta2? ... ie, doors underneath, side, detachable modules, etc?

I'll get right to business: First priority, I feel, is to get some good landing legs on this thing. The shape isn't at all conducive to using any kind of externally attached legs, so until you create some specifically for the Titan, there's really no way to have it sit stably on the ground. Now, as to the cargo bay. As soon as I saw the first pics of the ship, I felt that the ideal cargo bay access would be simply by having a section of hull hinge down to form a ramp, so that one could drive rovers and mobile bases and whatnot directly in and out of the bay. Hopefully it would be wide enough to be able to drive a pretty good-sized rover in and out. Much like Wayland's WT-51, or the rear cargo ramps of B9's HL hulls or TT's Mk 4 cargo system. So that's one option. Another would be to have the bay doors split in the middle and slide into the sides of the hull, but then you'd want to have a separate extending ramp anyway, so I don't know if that would be more work or not, but it seems like it would. Also, you had mentioned the possibility of having a detachable cargo pod that fits up into the bottom of the ship, so that one could land, open the entire bottom section via some kind of segmented opening (I know there was a series of pictures depicting this), and then drop the cargo bay from the bottom. I don't know if you would want to have some kind of telescoping landing legs to raise the ship up in this case, or just take off leaving the pod behind, or what. And again, theoretically, you would want some kind of functionality, either having it be enclosed with its own doors, or perhaps just an open frame, letting us build whatever structures inside it. Anyway, there are a few ideas. Other miscellanea: I had once suggested/requested docking port covers that iris open to expose the docking ports, or better yet, combine the iris cover with an extending port, such as LLL's extendable CBM. So, once again, glad to have you back, Vlam. I look forward to continuing developments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzguy Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I think you should keep the bottom cargo bay doors. Not only would it keep the flying saucer feeling it would allow you to put in some kind of elevator into it. You would have to finish the landing gear first, but imagine those awesome doors opening and a large platform lowering out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VlamBallas Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 So development has been stepped back a few notches, as the models & unity files from the last release have been lost..However, I figured now would be a good time to do a bit of minor re-modelling:Hopefully ill have the model back up to scratch in about a week or so..:STAY TUNED!

TheReaper Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 and thats the proof that kerbals visited earth, UFOS, flying soucers, "little green men" come on, all the rumors point to one thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 @HrabCOrp This thread hasn't seen any activity in a year and a half, it would be better to try contacting the author via PM than bumping this old thread. @OP, I'll lock this for now, if you decide you'd like to resume it PM me or another mod and we'll reopen it.
