[.23+] Naten Innovations REDUX 1.2.02- Fuel Tank Update! (Part 2: Engines)

[Surefoot]

Yup, there's just the folders, and no files. Moar small engines is good, those are especially valuable for Eve missions.

[Mecripp]

Just FYI Naten thought you made a update so downloaded it again but your folders are empty.

[Boamere]

Yeah, there's nothing in the folders XD

[Naten]

O_o

howcoodeeshapen? I don't know, Windows 8. I don't know.

Guys, I'm really sorry.

I will fix this right now, right here, blah blah blah insert sincerity here blah blah

I'm really sorry for all of these problems I've been causing with this mod.

Let the sight of a cute little midgety tank cheer you up:

Edit: I really don't know how it's possible that the files were gone. I would be too lazy to delete them individually... ugh...?

Download now fixed!

In addition, it's almost time for the...

THE...

TAAAAANK UPDAAAATE!!!!1

muahahaha let the comic sans rule the world

'Twill include the following:

-Midgety, upper-stage tank

-1.5m lower-stage tank

-1.5m/1.25m adapter

-Decoupler

-Maybe... fairings KW-style?

-Automatic engine fairings, if I figure out how?

anyone know?

Well, it's almost here, and it'll be split up into a few releases, most likely.

And they'll most likely be in the following order:

-Tankage! (the fuel tanks)

-Structure! (structure elements)

-Fairings! (if they work )

Coolio, you could look at AEIS's solid rocket boosters that are shaped like the top of the fairing, maybe put this into engine fairings?

[Mecripp]

@Boamere I might be missing something or overlooking but AEIS's don't have solid rocket boosters you mean NovaPunch or KW ?

They do , but not the engine fairings the top fairings. Maybe naten could somehow put these in engine farings? (i don't know how I might be going a little insane)

Also Naten will we get a 2.5m fairing for cluster engines?

LOL Was thinking more of a booster but yes them you got to love.

Yes, indeed, my friend!

I'm sorry, but the redux is getting into the way. I really want to finish fuel tanks... I've never even released one in my modding life.

I'm going to do an art pass and complete art SUPER DUPER UBER MECHA NANO ZUPER THOOPER DOOPRE-overhaul. of the engines...

so for now, the "legacy parts" won't be in every release.

Although, you can get them here:

Thanks.

Cheers,

All right, guys: it's here! I'm now done with the tankage part of the Tank Update, so go on ahead and pick up the new version on SpacePort!

I'll make a video showing the launch and building sequence, but I'm still editing it...

[Naten]

So...what do you guys think?

I don't know what to do next, but I'm probably going to work on fairings and a "payload decoupler..." a decoupler that has little force, like Tiberion's shuttle cargo decoupler... so your GEO orbit won't get messed up terribly whenever you decouple.

Please, tell me what you think.

[Boamere]

cool, just got back from school and I see this! Will test now! (sorry i didn't reply earlier)

Also glad you are doing a re-skin of the engines, they were pretty basic (no offence )

(Also as a random part a cargo bay would be cool! I really need a light cargo bay for my spaceplanes)

P.S: I can tell that you are going to get better at modding as time goes on, well done

I hope you have fun with it!

There's a really simple launcher you can build with this pack, it's my own dream space program's primary launcher, the Corona I:

Javascript is disabled. View full album

It can launch small probes into GEO orbit, as well as larger, heavier probes (e.g. Ion-Powered Space Probe, the stock craft) into LKO. It's pretty easy to fly, yet remains pretty balanced.

For now, I'm also working on a Skylon mod with a few people...

I'm handling the Passenger and Logistics Module, AKA "The Spaaaaaace Taxi!"

But I'll try and fit in time to work on a proper first-stage engine or two.

Hey, guys, the Tank Update: Day 2 (Engines) is now released!

I tweaked some stuff and added 2 engines...

-a solid booster (it has a radial mount shape like the Ariane 5's etage de acceleracion, or whatever they call it )

-the R8 Gagarin first-stage engine... with EMISSIVES and 2(.0)-degree THRUST VECTORING!

(I finally figured out gimbals in Unity! )

Well, that's all for now, folks, but stay tuned...;

Fairings are on the way!

Cheers,

-Naten

Neato! TESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111ONE

[Naten]

The rockets are not yet FAR compatible, Boamere... I'm sorry. I'll try to get some of that kinda stuff in sometime soon...

Do I need to get Ferram4's permissions to do that? I'd probably have some trouble getting a hold of the poor guy, probably is really busy...

Well, anyways, sorry I haven't been talking much, working on an IVA that didn't work and working out affairs with a bunch of modders who offered me to join them...?

I d k l o l o l o l :D:D

Well, guys, enjoy the emissive textures and gimballing nozzle on the R8 Gagarin!

[Boamere]

thanks for the answer Naten

My only criticism would be that the textures (on the fuel tanks) could be a bit more "stock-a-like"

Please don't take offence

Great job so far and good luck!

[Naten]

Oh, they weren't intended to be stockalike. I'm going for my own little fictional space program kinda deal. Thanks for the feedback, though!
