Helix935 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 i love these parts but can you make the orbital orb smaller so as to hold only one kerbal so that it would be possible to use the MK 1-2 cockpit as a like a soyuz? just a suggestion.

Porkjet Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Is there a way to slow down the rotation of the ring in the .cfg?That's exactly what I'm looking for. There seems to be no way to do this, but I'm sure it could be made with a custom plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satcharna Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) -1Awful ideas. Completely nondescriptive, and not particularly amusing at that.

WhatsThisButtonDo Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Thank you for the Orbital Orb, it was just the style and size I needed for a small space ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwaster Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Looks nice. Fits in well with stock parts in style. Centrifuge part looks way too small to accommodate Kerbals though. On the subject of the bigelow type, would you consider doing a larger version? The center section should be the size it is now with the inflatable portion expanding to something like 50%-100% larger than it is now. With an increase in length to keep the same dimensions it has now. In fact ideally the hub (docking port?) and inflatable could be separate models so you could have different sized habs by combining the same two parts in different scales.

TheSuperintendnt Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Did someone ask about a "Inflato" with the same size envelope but with 2m end points? Because that would be useful, and as far as the descriptions go, they were just suggestions and the lack of descriptiveness I notice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingJackal Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So, been playing with these all weekend. As for feedback, i love the rotating section. I rotates a little fast and could use a bit more detail to finish it up but i love it. really compliments my Interstellar mod. The inflatable hab however may have some issues. I was trying to send one to Duna. I was having problems with the game freezing and or just CTD. I thought it may have been mechjeb again but when i stopped using the ships with the habs it stopped CTD and freezing. Also when you load a ship with the Hab, it makes the inflation sound.It would be cool if you had a Hab that you could easily setup for bases on Duna, but i find this one a bit hard to make anything for. Cant wait to check out the progress of this one man, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSuperintendnt Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Some how I don't think you had this in mind when you created the centrifuge....but after a test rocket fell over I had an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygun Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) That is a nice accident TheSuperintendnt. Inflatable rover wheels......that has potential.I think I have my next base "if" I can get the new "improved" landing gear to behave.The only time it wiggled was when all four HABs touched the ground together.Then it ripped itself apart violently, but it's a KSP core issue I think and not the mod as I have seen this many times before with other parts.

FlyingJackal Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I like that Tommy, But its a lot of hab to get to Duna in one go. I want to be able to drop one at a time, on target, and with legs that don't require huge extra structures like that. We need a place on these habs to put landing legs.the inflatable wheel idea is golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingJackal Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 oh wait, i see what you were trying to do, do the moon base idea from the pictures. that's not a bad idea, i should try this.And I love this mod so much because it has allowed me to make my dream spaceship. And look who got to fly it!https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3449179/2013-11-30_00003.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygun Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) FlyingJackal, you can add 1.25 meter batteries to each end of the HAB and then attach landing legs to them like this.Although the current updated landing legs can't support much weight and this is still touching the ground.I'm worried that multiple HABs touching the ground will cause collision mesh issues and wobbling.I may try resizing a few non-stock landing legs next to work with this mod.Edit: Escepadie Suspension Leg mod will work if rescaled (rescaleFactor = 0.6 )http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/escepadie-systems/ Edited December 3, 2013 by Tommygun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dix2lespace Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 hi! great job! thanks for your work. Can you make a centrifugal node (2.5m diameter) with configurable speed? We can attach any parts for making a huge centrifugal wheel (i dream of it by night)I found that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus-XLike your inflatable centrifugal wheel, you must have 12m of diameter to result 0.69g.

ZodiusInfuser Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) AFAIK, you can't surface attach things to animated parts like the centrifuge (or you can but they won't move); however, it is possible with robotics parts.Here's what myself and Sirkut are currently working on for Infernal Robotics (because we too have that dream ) Edited December 3, 2013 by ZodiusInfuser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkjet Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 That is awesome!!! It even creates a counterforce to the center part. I used to make centrifuges with two IR rotatrons, but it allways was a bit wobbly. Really cool that you're making a dedicated part for that.

I've focused on all the other problems for now.... 8 Kerbals, you sure?Some how I don't think you had this in mind when you created the centrifuge....but after a test rocket fell over I had an idea.Ahaha this is great. I'm surprised it does this for you. it didnt really work when i tried.hi! great job! thanks for your work. Can you make a centrifugal node (2.5m diameter) with configurable speed? We can attach any parts for making a huge centrifugal wheel (i dream of it by night)I found that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus-XLike your inflatable centrifugal wheel, you must have 12m of diameter to result 0.69g.That's only possible with MagicSmoke technology I guess.As for the diameter, Mine is 7.5m and supposed to get about 0.5g. The other diameter Nasa proposed is 9.1m resulting in 0.5g. Since everythings a bit smaller in KSP, I think I'm roughly within optimal scale for that part. Also since some guys said the tube is too small to fit Kerbals in: It's exactly 1.25m in diameter, and we know from other parts that Kerbals can fit into that diameter. Of course, it's rather tight in there, but remember, this is the SMALL centrifuge in the pack, I plan to add at least one really really big one in the future.I guess you got enough to do with finishing the centrifuge but how is the status on the Orb IVA ? Havn't got around to that, but I'll slap something together soonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
