What's going to be in the bottom? I mean, between the capsule itself and the base/heatshield.

Ah!

Only fuel :)

Well, it is a complication, I do not know how much Delta-V the large tank will deliver. I think you only require about 1.5 thousand metres per second of Delta-V to make Duna Orbit.

So, that part could be half-fuel / half-habitation.

What lead me to think of that is, You haven't updated about them in quite awhile.

There has not been anything to update about. They're finished.

LFO/OX Tank

Though it is very plain, it needs to be as a fuel tank.

There also is required at some point a ladder part.

What are the diameters of all of these new parts?

From top to bottom :)

0.9385-1.875

1.875-2.5

2.5-3.75

The bottom heatshield is 3.75.

The bottom heatshield I have not yet decided leg number, for collider's sake, maybe only three.

Still to come, mostly finalized:

  • 0.9375m parachute
  • 0.625m docking port
  • radial engine, roughly equal to LVT-30
  • 3.75m heatshield
  • radial extend ladder
  • radial heavy RCS (2kn)
  • radial drop tanks (depends on performance)

May have a larger 0.9375m shielded docking port and radial parachutes instead. Anything to preserve the large cheese slice shape.

I do admit, there are some pretty weird capsules with this mod :)

What would you expect when most of these are from a country that created a space station that kinda looked like a carrot, and ironically if you stretched it, the russian spelling of its name looks like "Carrot"

When opening the TK-SM05B Service Module, everything overheats (and explodes without hax). Any ideas?

Edit: When closing, letting it cool, and reopening it, the overheating doesn't occur. Strange...(I have replicated this bug multiple times on the same craft. Maybe its quirk of the ship instead)

I'm looking at the config, but nothing seems odd.

Picture of craft?

Sorry for taking so long to reply :blush:

Here's a video of it happening with the thermal overlay turned on...looking it at it seems to be the TK-SP01B Plate that's also heating up, so maybe that's the culprit? :huh:

Do you have FAR? That was the culprit for me in the 1.04 update.

Searching for obvious bugs in the configs, all I can find is this:

	
MODULE
{
name = ModuleCargoBay
DeployModuleIndex = 0
closedPosition = 1
lookupRadius = 1.875

nodeOuterForeID = top
nodeOuterAftID = bottom
nodeInnerForeID = top2
nodeInnerAftID = bottom2
}

Which should be like so:

	
MODULE
{
name = ModuleCargoBay
DeployModuleIndex = 0
closedPosition = 1
lookupRadius = 0.9375

nodeOuterForeID = top
nodeOuterAftID = bottom
nodeInnerForeID = top2
nodeInnerAftID = bottom2
}

The occlusion logic might cause weird heat anomalies, but I am not sure / have not tested this.

I will keep looking.

Adorabile!

Beale, please make a 2.5 m version of the leg-part in FUJI heatshield color.

Thanks!

I will consider a small version if it functions well :)

I love this thing a lot!
