[WIP] Science Parts - Multi-Lense Camera Array - Science Drill [08-03-14]

[biohazard15]

I love your parts!

Had some fun with the drill yesterday:

Landing gears act as jacks (the drill hatch hits the ground without them and jerks the vehicle. As it turned out, this wasn't a big problem on Minmus.)

[Yorik]

Awesome looking prospecting truck!

I'm thinking about removing the collider from the lid of the central body. That should solve your problem and possibly kiwiaks launchpad explosions.

It seems that Dmagic has some worthy competition!

By the way, do you also do plugins? Camera right now can face anyway and get science.

So, simple plugin coudl be made, making camere work like docking port, with "controll from here" to easilyface camera into planet surface in order to get valid science result.

The new multi-lensed camera looks amazing...

But I have a question- can it be activated in-atmosphere?

[kiwiak]

It seems that not.

Small suggestion - add reports with 0 science value for surface of planets.

[Sufficient Anonymity]

Encountering a bug - the sample drill, when activated, produces science, but fails to animate.

EDIT: problem exists between chair and keyboard; user mounted drill backwards and was puzzled when they couldn't see the drill extending as it was within the vessel!

as it was within the vessel!

This should make a vessel explode, shouldn't it? But on the other hand, you can't make a collider that collides only with ships and not with planets

[kiwiak]

I hope this wasnt abandoned?

Still waiting for proper drill colliders.

hmm these parts are definitely useful but i wonder if this works with the ARM update?

[MaverickSawyer]

Yes on all three. I have tested them.

hello Yorik i have a question for you because from what i can tell you once tried to make this during the old days of KSP

this is something i think would be very useful for the current version of KSP as it would help save part count for probes and reduce the need for more radial solar panels...

just a suggestion

(if your confused on what the question was it is basically just would you revive this if this is in fact yours/in you possession)

[Yorik]

Quick reply: I won't be able to do any work on KSP for the next couple of months because I work on rock festivals. There's no good computers, decent internet or free time. The solar array in the video won't ever be released because KSP doesn't like having 4 simultanous animations. Sorry.

good luck :cool:b

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this? The link in the first post no longer seems to work.
