Advanced Russian mini spaceplane.

Easy to fly and land on reentry.

Deadly Reentry integration.

Visible burns after reentry [EXPERIMENTAL] (note, unlike Soyuz, Kliper doesn't heat up much on Kerbin due to shallow entry profile).

N1

Features:

A full replica of the N1-3L Moon Rocket.

Two-stage LES and shroud separation motors for clean aborts.

Fairly low part count for a rocket of this size.

Generally doesn't need struts.

Rather challenging to fly, stages are heavy, slow to maneuver and their Delta V is limited, so fly efficiently.

All crewed modules have IVAs. IVA docking possible with LOK OO, IVA landing with LK.

No dependencies, fairly simple assembly sequence.

Blok D upper stage works with Proton for interplanetary spacecraft launches.

Buran

Features:

Fully functional Buran spacecraft.

Dual robotic arm for redundancy and easier payload handling.

BobCat ind. Colonization, Exploration and Research Division:

Introducing: HOME 3.0: the latest development in HOME interplanetary base department.

Comes with the Tesla recon rover and HOME 3 OS (Orbital System) for all your HOME base needs!

Requirements:

KSP 0.25

Porkjet's Habitat Pack: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/64442

Running without it is not supported. Only the plugin matters, you can delete the parts.

Raster Prop Monitor: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/57603-0-23-5-RasterPropMonitor-make-your-IVA-a-glass-pit-%28v0-16%29-20-Apr

Without this, you're stuck in the spacecraft with no TV, few instruments and nothing to do on a long trip wherever you're going. So running without it is not supported, too.

Nautilus MPSS+Fly Tug

Features:

Two command pods: A 5-Kerbal one for interplanetary applications and a 1-Kerbal high visibility tug cockpit.

Requirements:

Porkjet's Habitat Pack: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/64442

Running without it is not supported (but it shouldn't break). Only the plugin matters, you can delete the parts.

Starwaster's Layered Animations [included]: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/64442-0-23-5-Habitat-Pack-v0-4?p=1448802&viewfull=1#post1448802

Jool V

http://www./download/dte3bj2u9gulpzu/JoolV.zip

An old, but still good 3.75m parts pack, roughly rebalanced to NASA mission pack. Had a full-on escape system before it was popular (it was always cool ). Also contains a number of adapters. Good lifting capacity, compatible with Kerbodyne parts.

HOME Legacy pack.

Need to diversify your HOME? Or perhaps you're just nostalgic? BobCat ind. refurbished a bunch of it's old modules and decided to sell them off. No warranty, but they're quite fun to use.

MIR Space Station pack (see above).

Contains Zarya and Zvezda parts. Technically optional, but highly recommended. Without it, you can't build the ISS, though the last Space Station Freedom concepts might be manageable.

Contributing

Since this is a community project, you can contribute. Anything and everything is welcome. Submissions can be posted here, in the dev thread, or PMed to me. Any part of ISS, proposed or actually launched, can be accepted, as long as it plays nice with the rest of the pack. I'm open to late-concept Freedom parts, too, like a propulsion section for the truss. Resupply spacecraft can be contributed, too, but might end up released separately for logistical reasons, especially it coming with an LV. As this is a historical mod, purely fictional parts will not be added, though various concepts might. Improvements to existing parts (plugin support, IVAs) are welcome, too.

License:

Plugins are under whatever license the author intended. BobCat ind. will only distribute 3rd part plugins as a stopgap measure, they will be removed as soon as they're available normally.

All original BobCat ind. content - all rights reserved and belong to BobCat.

Community ISS is, by the spirit of the project, free to use, tinker with, redistribute and contribute to, as long as proper attribution is given for all the authors involved with a part in question.

Credits:

BobCat - almost everything, except the stuff below.

Asmi - Reentry burns (currently broken). Also ECLSS, though it's currently unsupported, it will work if you use it.

Dragon01 - config stuff, maintenance, balance and bugfixing.

BlazingAngel, Crashnburn, Chobit - previous BobCat ind. members, contributed a great deal towards previous versions of HOME.

Blista1000 - MIR DC, Rassvet.

Nertea - Zarya panel and ISS Radiator.

Yogui87 - Community ISS modules: Pirs, Poisk, Z1, JEM PM, JEM ELM, Cupola, MPLM. HTV spacecraft. Also, the showcase vid.

WCOLE360 - Also contributed to Leonardo MPLM.

Devo - Unity node.

Sorry if I missed anyone, remind me if this happened, so I can update the list.

Bug reports, fix suggestions, neat plugins to consider and other such stuff welcome. Model suggestions less so.

Future plans: The Community ISS Project might be released here, or not. The Soviet Pack updates will be released here (not soon). American pack probably too. If I manage to fix more old stuff, it'll be added. Any new stuff BobCat decides to make is, of course, subject to be added.

Yes first also did he give you the stuff to finish off?

[Guest]

We're working together now, he's doing the fun part (modelling and texturing), I'm doing the less-fun part (configs, balancing, fixing bugs). There will be new content coming, now that BobCat doesn't need to do this all himself, he's regained some interest in KSP. I don't expect to have every single thing he's ever made (old Soyuz will not be supported, Cassowary is dead and gone. Mriya looks bad but might be fixable, we'll see), but if something can be made to work, it will. At least, until the plugins/modules break, though, unless Squad breaks something basic (seems unlikely at that point), it looks like old HOME is here to stay, at least.

*rapid breathing*

ok i am still hyperventilating but first great that he renewed interest in KSP

[sp1989]

You sir have just made ALOT of people happy.

[sp1989]

Is the file supposed to be called HOME 2 or HOME 3 and to be honest there really aren't that many parts when I loaded up the game. I have all the required Mods in my gamedata file. It seems like something is missing. I will troubleshoot some more but you said sfr Command Pods was zipped in the file and that is not in the file you uploaded.

Edit: I found the sfr file, still seems to be missing parts though.

Edit 2: This is the part folder no HOME 3 parts now I am sure I am probably doing something wrong and I am probably misunderstanding something, but I am just reporting what I see.

Edited June 2, 2014 by sp1989

[CERVERUS]

If missed parts,you must create a NEW folder with name "BobCatind",and put inside all "HOME2" folder.

Yes my friend,the same happened to me and i fixed with this way,i read inside to the .cfg and i see the solution.

Maybe because Spaceport closed...you need the sfr plugin?

Found it , It was the homes folder was looking for a zip but it's not zipped and @Dragon01 the install needs to look like KSP/GameData/BobCatind/HOME2/ or some of the RPM's are

not going to work.

Edit and thanks CERVERUS but it was in there, I didn't see it at first.

The only RPM that doesn't work is the original HOME command pod

Me too the RPM doesn't work for the original HOME command pod. I probably messed up somewhere.

[sp1989]

Last post of the night I noticed the Recon module doesn't work in the VAB. Obviously the Ant rover isn't updated and the the garage doesn't open in the VAB. It works in game but not the VAB.

Also Im not very clear on how to use the HOME 3 OS. Everything goes together well except for the OS. Is the OS supposed to sit on top of the HOME 3 parachute? Also instead of an engine staging logo for the OS its a decoupler staging logo.

Yes and yes hehe

[wasmic]

I went to bed yesterday, just after reading that a release was imminent over at the ISS thread. This exceeded my wildest expectations, both in terms of AWESOME! and of how soon it was

[kiwiak]

Can someome upload all old demv rovers?

[Devo]

Good stuff, glad to see Bobcat still going strong, still the best vehicle mods in KSP to date.
