Tyrador Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi Folks!I know you want me to work on the habs, but I made a VASIMR engine and argon tank instead.Uses the NearFuture plugin to get variable ISP/thrust settings, like the real thing.I recommend to use this with the whole Near Future propulsion mod or else you may have problems to generate the crazy amounts of electricity this thing consumes.It's based closely on the Ad Astra lunar tug concept. downloadApparently I'm supposed to include a license for addons, so:I licence this work under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.Gonna work on the IVA's now, since you all seem to want them badly.Looks like NearFuture's argon tank, engines are really nice though!

bigdad84 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Been looking for an inflatable Hab module for a long time. Love it.Got it up on my station without much trouble see the pictures below.2 suggestions. 1. Make the end caps surface attachable, for RCS, batteries, solar cells, etc...2. Make a version without the end caps. Then people could build to match thier own style.From quite a ways back? But what mod are those solar panels from?

Ziv Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 WOW, I like this inflatable living section, WITH the darts! And all the other parts look great! I'm planning an interplanetary Kethane mission and will definitely use this one!Awesome work, keep it up, I will check this topic regularly!

TimMartland Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The argon tank is just brilliant! Porkjet, maybe you should do a kind of very-near-future station parts with the same barebones look - a LFO equivalent in multiple sizes would make my christmas!

TimMartland Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sorry for double-post, but the Orbital Orb is very brittle isn't it? It explodes of you drop or loudly sneeze at it! Also, this mod seems to have gone quiet (too quiet) and I was wondering about release for the new propulsion system as well as plans for 0.23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porkjet Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm working on the internals, which takes a hell of a lot of time.Thank you for the Orbital Orb, it is just what I needed for my small lander transport and refuel station.Cool ship! Yo dawg, I heard you like spheres. The glowing window is a cool idea i think I'll add that.Also, should I change the Orb into a controllable command pod?

Also, do you have any plans about implementing a Gemini-style 2 man capsule? There are some out their, but they all clash with the stock textures. And with inflatables, what about inflatable tanks for bases and stations?Yo dawg, I heard you like spheres. So I put spheres on your sphere so you can sphere while you sphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasBananenbrot Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks for that little status update, well I already heard from several modders that IVA creation is a pretty time consuming process by the way you think we maybe get those IVAs as Kristmas present?

Porkjet Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yes. At least I'm trying to. No promises.Also I need to think of a proper name for the mod. And if I integrate the Vasimr propulsion with it or make em seperate downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.O.M. Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Also, should I change the Orb into a controllable command pod?That sounds like an excellent idea! The Orb would make for a great lander capsule. On a related note have you considered creating a command pod? Something similar to the Nautilus-X concept?

NNYGamer Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) I have that one old inflatable hab that's basically a balloon. It comes as a small square you attach radially and inflates into a lopsided condom. I had updated it to work in .20 but haven't used it in a while. It was created by nhnifong and was in the BACE module pack. Something similar needs to be remade as a sleeping/emergency shelter, as for the IVA I don't think it would be hard, mostly folding chairs and inflatable beds.

TimMartland Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 You should make a bacon-powered jet engine!On a more serious note, more truss-like parts would be cool as the Ar tank looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitworks Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Sorry if someone already said this, but the rotating hab module (which is awesome, I love that it spins by itself) seems a little small. Like, kerbals would need to crawl through it, which seems to defeat the purpose of having a spinning shelter. Is it possible (I'm not a modder, so I really don't know) to just bump u the scale. If the central core were 2.5M instead of 1.25 I think the scale would be pretty spot on. Plenty of room for Jeb to run laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
