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.

Check the part's cfg file for a line that says rescaleFactor and change the value from 1 to 2

Internal model is almost finished, you'll see they fit in snuggly. Will make a much bigger centrifuge later.

Do you plan on taking this in a similar direction to what Bobcat's H.O.M.E. project used to be? I loved the concept of self sustaining bases that could also be used as interplanetary refueling stations, but trying to use it in 0.22 I ran into problems such as the command pod being unable to store experiments, it didn't have ASAS, and the mechanics seemed to be buggy (e.g. the atmosphere miner produces drag in space.). I haven't been able to find a thread for that pack but it was a really cool concept and would love if someone would be able to make something better.

I seem to have spoken too soon. The mod in its current state causes the UI to rapidly flash in some areas (the TWRP, throttle and RCS buttons are some examples) and prevents you from using throttle, timewarp or anything else. Also, it stops you from reverting your flight.

I just went thru the first several pages of this thread, but didnt go thru all 26 pgs (Sorry...), so forgive me if its already been mentioned, and if you havent already planned it, could you pleeze make sure you release this mod with a unique name, so as NOT to be confused with THIS mod:

http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/inflatable-habitat-base-update-0-20/

Thanx!

LOVE your version so far...Cant wait for a full release. :)

The habs all still work. At least or me.

Only the vasimr is slightly broken because the NFP mod is broken and it uses its plugin.

I'm trying to use the new rapier's multi mode engine module for the vasimr but its kinda complicated

Porkjet's Parts Pack :D Good ring to it :)

But anyway, this looks good :D I hope its coming along nicely. What problems does this have at the moment and will we see a release version anytime soon? I used to use the inflatable hab that was linked to above and very much wished it still worked, so this mod seems like the next go to for that style of stuff :) Keep up the awesome!

Just some thoughts I had on this:

Name: Porkelow Aerospace (Technologies)? (Play on the Bigelow)

Slogans:

"Porkelow Aerospace, delivering what everybody wants and what nobody needs!"

"Living in space balloons! What could possibly go wrong!"

"You might not want it, need it, or even know about it, but here it is anyway!"

"To be fair, they never said you couldn't play darts in the Inflatable Hab!"

Just some ideas for names for parts, manufacturers, and descriptions respectively:

"Expandable PorkHab Mk1"

"Porkjet Industries LLC - Manufacturer of Bacon, Bacon Accessories & Inflatable Living Spaces"

"After a literal breakthrough in inflatable habitat module design (it was very messy and the investigation is still ongoing), the Mk0 PorkHab was scrapped, and replaced by the Mk1, a vast improvement in all areas. Via a proprietary technique of in-space inflation, as well as supertough* but flexible shell material, the Mk1 has sold over 15,000 units to date.

*supertough does NOT mean invincible and astronauts should NOT take up knife throwing while occupying it. We can't afford anymore lawsuits, so please keep this in mind."

This might have been said before (I'm just now noticing this), but the spin velocity of the hab module should be much slower. At it's current rate, I can almost guarantee that 1. the Gravity generated is far greater that 1G and 2. There's Kerbal puke all over them walls.

That said, this all looks mighty good.
