A few useful parts that would be great for ksp

[travis575757]

There are a few parts in mind that i always thought would have great use in the game.

1. A engine with a very large gimbal range. This would be very useful in things like shuttles and SSTOs.

2. A larger version of the BACC SRB. Another thing useful for shuttle type rockets. also this would be 2.5 meter with about the same or more thrust then a mainsail.

3.A larger nuclear engine engine, such as the one in KSPX.

4.C7 parts with oxidizer.

I'm down for an additional nuclear engine and a new Ion engine of a larger size.

[Stargate525]

I'd throw in for a 2.5 nuclear engine. I'd also like to see a 2.5 engine with something in the 800-1000 range. Radial ions would also be nice.

Getting off of engines, I'd like to see a solar panel about the size of the gigantor that, instead of rotating 160 degrees around a vertical axis, rotated 90-180 around its point of attachment, or was deployable and didn't rotate at all. Or make sun tracking a tweakable.

[spinomonkey]

Ooooh yeah. Sun tracking tweakable would be pretty useful.

I´d also like a stronger/bigger ion engine or such, already suggested it:

yes please

Ooooh yeah. Sun tracking tweakable would be pretty useful.

Why? Disabling it would only make your solar pannels less effective.

Agree with most of it. not really that desparte for bigger SRBs, but otherwise in complete agreement

As for the engine with large gimbal range, isn't that the whole point of the Mk-55 white radial engine? maybe give that a few more degrees of gimbal range and problem solved!

a tiny sized reaction wheel is something i would really like to see. A lot of my craft could really use extra torque but not nearly as much as the current reaction wheels (or mass), and more than a probe core.

Also, a smaller sized SRB would be nice, I'm thinking with a width of an Oscar tank and as long as 3-4 of them.

Appearance and aesthetics is a thing.

Also, there are designs that risk the panels snapping off if they rotate ninety degrees... Or they would, if they cared about that while rotating...

[TheGeoninja]

I agree with this stuff.

[Serratus]

Or just include NovaPunch2 pack as stock. Soo much less work, so much content...

I think that a larger nuclear engine could be a good addition, but I actually think that the current one should be slightly improved.

Maybe when the fuel mass flow rate is set at a constant for the engine and the thrust made variable with atmospheric pressure, the thrust in vacuum could be boosted slightly. This limits the extent to which nuclear engines will be overpowered and when money is implemented, it is only fair that there are benefits to an engine that costs a premium.

1.) Make procedural wings stock.

2.) Make procedural fairings stock.

3.) Make Space Shuttle Engines mod stock (with the smart part too, such as the flameout detector)
