Leicontis Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Increasing the density of the fuel seems to be the most direct way to adapt things to Kerbal scales. In essence, you\'re radially compressing the fuel tanks to match the scale of the rest of the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think I got the balancing worked out, now.Also, I made some stage-separation retro-rockets: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cepheus Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Looks cool. Hoping that, unlike other retro rockets, it has a nice slow burn, not a quick .00005 second burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Looks cool. Hoping that, unlike other retro rockets, it has a nice slow burn, not a quick .00005 second burst.It\'s two seconds of relatively high force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglasdtlltd Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Looks amazing, i\'d even say you improved on texturing and modeling some. If I may, how high is the thrust set to on the retro rockets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherDalfite Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 -snip-ooooh. Finally, spherical rocket fuel tanks! Just a question, is that to boost it to the mun, or just a retro-fire rocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 ooooh. Finally, spherical rocket fuel tanks! Just a question, is that to boost it to the mun, or just a retro-fire rocket?It can perform the TMI burn for a light spacecraft such as that (but, as I\'ve learned five times in a row, that spacecraft isn\'t enough on its own to land) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherDalfite Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Probably not in the first release.Alright. I\'m sure modeling out truss\' takes some time. pack is looking good, can\'t wait to use that new pod. It looks all o.O to me. In a good way.

greatorder Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 persistance+BACE= profit!no, seriously, once I learn how to land on the mun, I shall make a munar base, return to kerbin, and repeat until I have an enormous base!MUHAHAHAHA!

Normak Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 You sadden me greatly.I hope that once reliable docking and persistence is a reality, instant orbit parts are disabled or banned. It would take away the fun of establishing stations and bases one part at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venku122 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 THE NOOBS. OH DEAR GOD noob? Really? I am perfectly capable of getting to the mun and landing. These parts help get big things in orbit that are impossible to get past the atmosphere as well as let people try orbital rendezvous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These parts help get big things in orbit that are impossible to get past the atmosphere as well as let people try orbital rendezvous I\'m not referring to you, friend. I\'m just saying that this makes it significantly easier for the noobs to just start on the moon, without actually learning the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
