Found 1 false alarm (the RCS engines on LOK's SM do work, actually) and 1 more bug (the fuel cell in said SM uses no monoprop, but does generate electricity). Other than that. Nice mission! The green LOK really is the icing on the cake Re: the fuel cell bug, it should not use Monoprop, but burn the LFO instead? Github Kind of a "pre-release" version, let me know of any issues you may find. craft file for below: Edited November 26, 2017 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That silly phrase 'bout something "can't get any better" should be forgotten, because with Beale it always can. Congrats on 8.0 release of the geatest KSP mod (IMHO ) About suggestions - I do have a small one. The original LOK was made using chemical batteries instead of solar panels, so a Tantares replica of one will be either short-living on battery power or spoiled with small solar panels. Maybe try adding a small RTG into LOK's SM with power output enough or nealy enough to maintain the ship (LOK only) powered? This second way can emulate depletable chemical batteries without ruining balance, I think. Edited November 27, 2017 by Legcutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, no, it won't. If you right click LOK's service module, you'll see it comes equipped with a fuel cell (also, at the top of this page you can see my misunderstanding of how this fuel cell works - and Beale's explanation of how it actually works). And with a really forgiving consumption rate, taken straight from the stock one. Haven't tried it myself yet, but LOK's own fuel, if used for power generation only, might keep the batteries alive all the way to Duna and back, so that, perhaps, needs some balancing.
