I feel like starting a mod...

[tygoo7]

I don't really know what mod to do though. I have a lot of experience with modeling and unity but what should I make? I was maybe thinking of making a command pod of some sort.

If you make a command pod, you'll get loads more users if you add an IVA. Sometimes I've ignored a really cool capsule due to a lack of IVA...

I can probably do IVA. I was maybe thinking of a stock-a-like spacex dragon v2.

Do whatever you like, just do. But if you're looking for a niche one of the things we're seriously lacking is manned ground/water vehicle command modules and crewtanks, pretty much B9, LLL, and the few parts included with the still outdated TT-MMW are all that exists for command pods that don't look like they belong on a rocket.

Seriously true. The amount of vehicles I've built that use that one strange looking B9 pod (this one) is positively ridiculous... And it's really not that good a pod for that... the hatch is on top, there is no ladder so I have to add one. The rest of the truck is cylindrical because made from 2.5m rocket parts. Ladder therefore almost always looks strange. It is not ideal at all.

So... yes, pods for rovers/cars or trucks I would very much welcome. Also, please with IVA if possible

Edit: I don't know if there is some sort of issue that is difficult to overcome with the seating in pod IVA's but I have noticed that you never get a good view out. The space plane cockpits in B9 seat you so low you see only sky. Even that strange pod I use for trucks only has moderate vision out the front window and more or less none at all to either side... Maybe it's the kerbals big heads with the low eyes or something, but for ground vehicles you need to see where you are going

This is the issue I tend to have when making IVAs. Coupled with those giant helmets, sit them too high in the pod and their portrait starts clipping through the roof... I think the first person camera might even be slightly lower than their eyes as well.

Tygoo, I look forward to seeing what you make, even if it's not a command pod.

Thanks for the tips guys! I'm not so sure about making a ground vehicle pod but I am opening blender right now to see what I start making while throwing some ideas in my head. I will make a thread in the development forum soon.

I'd love some more stock craft, with vanilla parts. And some cool vanilla rovers. Just a thought even though it doesn't really involve 'modding'

it doesn't involve modding whatsoever, in fact it's not modding, it's playing, two concepts that aren't really related beyond that one makes stuff for the other to play with. If you want craft files there are plenty of places for that, but this is not one of them.

Make an AC130 cockpit please (also if you could add me on skype that would be cool)
