Larger Deployable Solar Panel, Larger Static Solar Panel


Recommended Posts

Life support would be nice. An ingame storage for a week would be absolutly necessary to not increase the learning courve to much.

I would also like to see communications having a bigger energy consumption. I don't know if a specific range for each antenna would be a good thing to have. I would like that as it would give you a reason to use the more energy hungry ones (and additional ones that require even more power).

I would also like new science experiments that require a lot of power or the experiments bay to be changed that way.

Thoughts?

Merely fixing the gigantor's stats would go a long way, IMO.

Right now, it is like 17x as large and 20x as heavy for a mere 8x power output. That's just too darn heavy. I'll take a number of smaller panels anytime, thankyouverymuch.

If the Gigantor was as powerful as it is big, I might even accept the (then only slight) weight increase for the sake of looks or part count. I might be hard put to find a use case in the stock game, though.

There just aren't enough sinks for electricity in the stock game. Basically almost anything non-ion powered can be handled by a couple of panels or an RTG plus a couple of batteries. Electrical management is basically a game of "did I remember to install a few parts" and "did I deploy the panels". ISRU might change that, depends on how it's implemented. Not sure if we'll ever see life support in stock, though it would be great.
