Yilmas Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Just to be sure, the license on this mod allows one to redo/change a model for private use right ?Been looking for a 3,75m and 5m nuclear engine, however haven't found one yet, so thought one could be created through the use of an existing model. But was thinking, that it might be wise to ask, before doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanKell Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Kyle: Then you, um, might want to change the license. Since according to its terms it *is* ok to make derivative works (or redistribute unchanged) so long as attribution is given and redistribution/derivates of those works fall under the same terms.

TomatoSoup Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Well, to be fair, it's always a good idea to alert the original author when you make derivative works, even if you're not required to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_ca Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Private use is fun. You can pretty much do whatever the hell you want with anything, as long as you don't redistribute what comes of it. Unless you're in a backwards country that has made the very act of breaking copy protection illegal (some may even go so far as to make it a criminal, not civil, offence). In that case, doing something as innocuous as decompiling code to understand how to hook into it, e.g. KSP, would be illegal. ... Yes, I'm referring to my home country, Canada, which has done just that (the pricks; I didn't vote for these guys). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as credit is given where credit is due it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateTheAwesome Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hey, just wanted to say that for me both download links are broken. The KSPort link archive is corrupted and the Mega Link never loads. Anyone else experiencing the same issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisair Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Are there any plans for future parts? Would love to see Nuclear Engines, KW-style Commandpods, or even 5-meter parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwind Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Honestly, I can name at least 5 different mods with nuclear engines off the top of my head, without even trying too hard. Some of them are even stand-alone. I don't think there's much of a pressing need for KW Rocketry to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that - 5m size is perfectly covered by NP (it has four 5m engines with the last test update - ranging from 4Mn to 10Mn, N1, Saturn V and SLS styles), and there is already enough command pods (NP Freyja, Taurus, Lack's latest SXT...) to satisfy anyone's needs.BTW, big nukes - I need to report this problem to Tiberion right away! Let's leave KW out of nuke business, shall we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whovian Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Great mod, et cetera, et cetera. (No, seriously, I love this mod.)It strikes me that the Thor SRBs are a little overpowered. It's quite easy to make a single stage to solar escape with them (mine was 3 surrounding a structural fuselage with an OKTO2 on top, with a bunch of strutting.) I had RealFuels installed when testing it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't mess with the Thors.Is this ... meant to be?Just expressing a concern.

BudgetHedgehog Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I believe the expression is 'duh..'.The Thor SRBs are not meant to push just one structural fuselage and the lightest probe core into orbit, they meant to help push a stack of 3.75m nuclear reactors from Interstellar or a whole other rocket into orbit. If your payload's as light as that, of course the most powerful SRBs are going to make it go far.Do the same with the stock BACCs. You'll likely get into Kerbin escape with them at least - would you call them OP? It's possible to get an SSTO with an orange tank, Skipper and OKTO probe too - are Skippers OP? No, because they're all not to be used for lighter payloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whovian Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Oh god.RT-10s are better than BACCs at getting a Kerbin escape.Anyways, I guess my main concern is that the Thors on their own (which is what minimal-mass payload was meant to simulate) are significantly better than any other solid booster on their own. Though, looking at the dV stats, the others top at about 5 km/s and the Thors top at about 6.Derp. Nvmd.Now to figure out where my babbu FOWDS and RT-5s are.

almagnus1 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Random thought with the pack.... is there an easy way to split off the fairing system from the rest of the pack?I really like the way KW does fairings, as the procedural fairings just feel cheaty to me - but don't want the rest of the parts as the vanilla ones generally work well enough.

Streetwind Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Actually, there is no mods with 3.75m or 5m nukes.Kommitz is filling the 3.75m hole at least, with a quad LV-N to join his already existing stockalike 2.5m twin LV-N. He's also making an outright insane 2.5m NERVA II replica that's taller than an orange tank. You need to see it to believe it Random thought with the pack.... is there an easy way to split off the fairing system from the rest of the pack?I really like the way KW does fairings, as the procedural fairings just feel cheaty to me - but don't want the rest of the parts as the vanilla ones generally work well enough.You can easily do that by going into the KW Rocketry folder and deleting every part that is not involved with the fairing system.

almagnus1 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You can easily do that by going into the KW Rocketry folder and deleting every part that is not involved with the fairing system.It would be helpful if the parts were a bit more modular, so I have a better idea of what should and shouldn't be included.For example, have a folder for the fuel tanks, one for the engines, another for the fairings, one for the boosters, and a final one for everything else.

SirusKing Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 For some reason, when using the 3.5m docking port, the port sometimes switches to be smaller than it should be. I have no idea whats causing it, but it appears to either do it either when time accelerating or switching crafts. Is there a method of fixing it?http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/3278930422917226927/BB1313E0A68E1AB1E69249D34C5559E4DB7C059F/It appears to only happen when I am controlling the port itself, which is apperent in the picture (the docking port under it is fine, but not the root docking port) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
