Okram Industries - SatBatts [v2 / KSP 0.90]

[Orum]

SatBatts is a collection of batteries of various diameters, lengths, and capacities, designed for satellite, space station, and electrically powered helicopter use (see images below). It's useful primarily if you use mods that cause large energy use and require satellites to be in a planet's/moon's shadow, such as RemoteTech 2. A total of 15 batteries are included, 5 of each of the stock KSP diameters, at different lengths (by powers of 2) and capacities (directly related to the mass of the battery). Each battery is twice as dense as the stock battery--that is, twice the electric charge per cubic meter and twice the mass per cubic meter of their KSP counterparts. Therefore, they have the same charge per metric ton as the stock batteries, for balance reasons. All parts begin with the prefix "OI-" and are found under the "Utilities" category within KSP.

To install, either use [thread=100067]CKAN[/thread], or perform a manual install by extracting the contents of the zip archive into your GameData folder. To remove, simply delete your "GameData\Okram" folder (this will delete all Okram Industries parts/mods), or use CKAN. If you like, or dislike, the parts, please let me know in this thread. Thanks!

It's in the picture--it's the core of the satellite. Unfortunately it's low res, as I was originally going to put it on Kerbal Space Port until I read their TOS. I'll grab another screenshot in a bit and put it up.

Edit: Now up, it should be easier to see.

Ask and ye shall receive. Added another one of an electrically powered helicopter (though it behaves more like a balloon) I made today, which I later used as a propeller for some planes while streaming.

It definitely could have been put better but it also speaks to a certain amount of truth that humans are highly visually oriented creatures and if you want their attention then you had better be putting some pictures in front of them. With a download link within easy reach.

A picture speaks a thousand words as they say.

Or put less eloquently...

'no pics no clicks'
