Don't know if it's been mentioned yet. But the snap setting affects the gizmos. Took me a while to figure that one out.

Gizmos are making my life so much easier.

damm i forgot that you can do that to

om my god i love the new ksp

One problem is part clipping.

[VR_Dev]

i love the new ksp!!!!

made this using 0 cubic struts

i always use to use the cubic struts to make things like this

R.I.P cubic strut..............you were a good friend ;.;

Yeah using cubic struts and trial and error won't be missed.

One problem is part clipping.

How's that a problem?

[Captain Sierra]

How's that a problem?

Clipping things into your root part can sometimes trigger an error rooted in game code (may or may not still exist post editor revamp) which would duplicate parts of your craft inside itself multiple times, over, create a phantom part chain, root it, and cause general mayhem, fully corrupting the craft file in the process.

The dreaded "symmetry bug," that causes weird floating sideways parts on the launch pad?

Yes, that bug. In the old editor, it was confirmed that clipping parts into the root part would greatly increase the chances of this manifesting.

As clipping things into the lander can is so visually pleasing, my landers often fell victim to this.

you can sure say that clowbay

Is there any reason this looks so much like an Aegis Dynamics Avenger?

Nooop just came up dat hull schape a few days ago.

you can see it a few post back in the white lightning.

You incidentally created a near-perfect replica.

One method for avoiding that bug that has worked for me is to never activate symmetry while you are holding the component with your cursor over the part you're trying to attach to. Always activate symmetry with your cursor off the craft, if that makes sense. I haven’t had the bug in ages, when I used to get it often.

[Captain Sierra]

Hmm, I never knew that prevented it. Cool. Certainly explains why I had that nasty streak of it and lost 4 craft files. (I did, and still do, toggle symmetry like that constantly)

Went ahead and decided to make this:

Now that we can change the root part, why not just change it to a different art?

That look cool i need to make some ss replica's

There is a f-22 raptor and a su-27 ready to be flown

Aren't you basically blocking the thrust of all but the last two jet engines?

[Captain Sierra]

The new root part change thing confuses me on how its to be used. Then again, I'm used to SelectRoot which was 'click once, wait a second or two, profit.'

I have been trying to find a way to do this [stock] for quite awhile now. Thanks to 0.90 it works! (Read this as it works on the ground. My shuttle has not left the tarmac)

Standard clamp o tron over a crew hatch with full functionality!

That's not how the real shuttle works worked (the docking port it used on orbit with clamps and stuff was in the cargo bay, that hatch was only for egress/ingress on the ground), but it is pretty cool nonetheless. You might be confused because before launch there was a short of umbilical attached there for the astronauts to walk up to the hatch... but the shuttle itself did not connect there to the launch tower, it just rested against its side like the boarding gates in airports.

In other news, I am completely absorbed by the career campaign I started "just to see how it went nowadays". Between that and me going on a short trip this weekend, I am going to be short of less active these next few days. But I maintain my promise of new SPH section in R-SUV by christmas!

Rune. I have most of it done anyhow, just posting it takes time.

I'm working on an SSTO - i want to take 30 tonnes to LKO.

[Captain Sierra]

30 tons is not quite an orange tank, so what is it you're trying to space?

[9t3ndo]

Working also on a cargo SSTO but the Mk3 parts are heavier than expected.

and i'm very proud of the intakes

[Rakaydos]

Had soe drag problems in FAR ( I had to engage rockets at 1400m/s instead of 1600) and didnt bring a cargo, but hey! I got Mk 3 parts to SSTO!

[Captain Sierra]

I built dis:

Got a lotta work to make it flight ready.
