BC-304 Daedelus from Stargate

[mjy]

finally finish it. check the readme or ask here for info, needs the impulse drive for it as its a large ship, might be able to make it fly w/o it, didn`t try, ship is not heavy

curse said they had a hard time reading this, I`m French so don`t mind my English, hope u like as its a big ship.

**** 1mjydaedalus readme

*** custom made daedalus from stargate, took me 2 weeks to make.textures or not the best as i`m not that good

texturer.

***** Installation = install in kerbal space program folder = c/steam...etc

***** To use = u need impulse driver by philotical =USS Voyager & LCARS plugin (v0.4) forum

***** LCARS plugin u will need, ship is prob to big for rockets we got,added rockets, it got 5 cargo bay

1 in front, 2 big and 2 small in the back.first cargo bay in the front got a animated door

the other 4 in the back all have animated door, there is a ramp to get on the cargo bays. might be tricky for

low lv cars, as it might clip with the bottom.

***** Can cary a full crew and up to 114 total kerbal.room in cargo bay to carry a lot of planes vehicle

and is 33 % bigger then normal plane

***** It is made of 20 k polygon, i got a med computer, and had 3 daedalus together at the kerbal base, it did start

to lag bit, it can be reduce a bit with the textures, as they could be 256x256, as there 512 x512 = 1 mb each

***** u can add stuff on the daedalus, but nods placement are not fix up yet.The ship there is a few seems u can see

the lights a bit. will fix it up in a update.

***** driving the ship = u need the impulse drive, also don`t take off to fast, as in 5555 ms it will break what u added

on the ship

impressive looking ship!

[MOD - Moved to Add-on Releases and Projects Showcase, as it is the place for completed add-ons]

mjy, could you please include a licence to your forum post / Curse download, as per forum regulations?

[philotical]

Finally released - well done..

Downloaded - will test right away.. :-)

Edit - First feedback:

the saved ship contains parts that are not stock..

[ERR 04:07:01.358] [shipConstruct]: Trying to load 1mjyDaedalus - No AvailablePart found for B9.Structure.P8.Surface.Clear

[ERR 04:07:01.359] [shipConstruct]: Trying to load 1mjyDaedalus - No AvailablePart found for B9.Structure.P4.Surface.Clear

Additionally, may I suggest to put that craft-file here:

ksp_win/ships/SPH/

instead of a save, wich I don't even have in this install..

now since th ecraft file does not work here, it will take a while until I figured out how to assemble..

be back later...

Edited July 14, 2014 by philotical

[mjy]

mmm, not sure, I though there was no parts other then my own, maybe the cfg file, will check it out

[philotical]

Ok - here's the report..

I try to be short and blunt - please don't assume I don't appreaciate the ship just because I complain a lot - the ship is great - but still, all I found is listed here..

It flies, it crashes but it's complicated to assemble..

As there are no nodes, and surface attach does not produce the results I've expected..

The bridge barely comes out of the hull, the doors do not gladly cooperate aswell..

I guess that will get better when you add the nodes..

The voyager has one large node in the center, all parts go there afaik.

That is really helpfull for the assembly in my opinion..

Might that be a good idea here too?

Or is it intended, that the bridge is hidden with 70% of it's mesh? not sure about that..

I love the texture and the hull is great..

Is that custom made texture or did you use the famouse Greeble-texture? Just curiouse

but I was a little shocked about the 33Mb..

in my career game, I'd had no chance to install that - too big.

My lack of knowledge about the deadalus made it also impossible to find a good spot for the engines..

For guys like me - no stargate expert - some nodes would really help.

Oh - did you realize, that the door opening animation shifts the center of mass for about 50 meters?

Is that intended? It's somewhat strange actually..

All in all, I hate the fact, that the CargoBay code in the plugin is not done yet..

Your hangars are looking soooo inviting lol

I need to get started on that part now..

LCARS configuration:

1. you might have realized, that there is no cargoSpace and no CrewCabins displayed in the ShipInfo-Panel!

This is probbably due to the weight of the ship.

LCARS does use the dry-weight (totalMass-ResourceMass=dryMass) to calculate the available space for cargo and crew.

It seems, your ship has a dry weight that is too low to get some cargospace assigned..

try to fine tune the weight and resource amount - that should help

2. Your EC generator is set too high now..

The power system will start to overheat your ship from start.

The Value where it's too hot starts 590'000+ units.

if you keep your generator below that, you are fine..

The new default values I've sent to starvision for the next update are:

MODULE
{
    name = ModuleGenerator
    isAlwaysActive = true
    OUTPUT_RESOURCE
    {
       name = ElectricCharge
       rate = 80000
    }    
}
RESOURCE
{
    name = ElectricCharge
    amount = 50000000
    maxAmount = 50000000
}

The powersystem is a beast - be carefull when tuning those values..

Those are the minimum..

HTH

The license you have listed on Curse is All Rights Reserved. Is that indeed the license you want this to have? If so, you need to place it in the first post and in the download; forum rules require this; otherwise we will have to remove the download link until you comply (I have not yet done so because I understand that as English is not your first language you may be somewhat unclear as to the rules).

If you need help selecting a license, refer to this guide.

Congratulations on a neat mod!

[Spork of Doom]

YESS! its done. Your awesome mjy Ive been waiting for a good stargate ship in ksp forever. Jeb will be very happy to fly one of the most bada$$ ships in sci-fi. Too bad there isn't a way to make the rail-gun batteries to work.

[Azimech]

Great, I love to see more large ships in the kerbal universe, be it sci-fi or realistic.

[mjy]

tynathan for the heads up, didn`t know about the copyright thing, I usually make most stuff resourses, will go change or fix it

ty guys for the reply, phil, will go check it out, yes I need to figure out how to add nods, no idea at the moment. but all is set up good in my game, will go check a new game with only the mod added, u said the mod got dependency as [ERR 04:07:01.358] [shipConstruct]: Trying to load 1mjyDaedalus - No AvailablePart found for B9.Structure.P8.Surface.Clear

[ERR 04:07:01.359] [shipConstruct]: Trying to load 1mjyDaedalus - No AvailablePart found for B9.Structure.P4.Surface.Clear

odd as I don`t got any other stuff added, but got tons of mod,, also for cfg I use a modified voyager one, as its similar size and seem to work good with it, not that great at cfg, just starting to figure out stuff

would need a kind soul to fix up the cfg for it , will prob add a update tonight or tomorrow wne I check it out. my file runs really good, but it might be because I got lots of mods to help out, as in bridge is down on the deck?, also for the textures, I just google and cut,past,add layers,etc to it, so yes I do add some custom textures, nothing major.biggest part of it it takes forever to match up the textures, so they fit good.

Spork-of-Doom , np let me know how it runs, will prob add a bit more control to the ship

Azimech reason I did built this, its hard to built a huge spaceship, almost impossible with the pieces from stock ksp.

nli2work ty, glad u like it

ooohhhh right forgot I added 2 pieces to hold the control and bridge part, ops, will go change them to stock.

v3 coming up, fix the bridge and control room, attach to ship, looks better, change the craft file, added it to ksp/ship folder, made a light version, 1/2 the size of the textures. still nodes to fix

your ship had a dry weight of 1.5t

now it has 100000t

more fitting..

I also exchanged the power generator and added the missing LCARS modules..

now it has all..

You 30meter door has a weight of 300Kg..

that is way too light..

you should try to give them realistic values, than the ship mass will reach a believable level..

fine tuning the cfg will do your ship a load of good..

Nodes: try to google for "KSP part welding tutorial"

The guy who wrote that, explains quit well how to lace nodes..

with this advise, I was able to change certain stuff in stock parts and so on..

I'm not a node expert - was just able to shift them a bit..

but this tut will give you a good start to the topic..

EDIT2:

Yeah v3 is much better tuned :-)

Was a good idea to put the bridge right on the hull..

Edited July 15, 2014 by philotical

[mjy]

ty phil, all set up with the cfg, will fix it up more later and release a new version, but yes looks nicer with the bridge, control room attach to ship

[mjy]

v4 is out if any needs, will be the final until I get the nods figured out.

[mjy]

glad I made a dream come true . 302`s mm prob no one wants that? 0o

[mjy]

v5 is out and is compatible with .24, fix up the cfg file for economy. so it can work in .24, u need only basic rockets to unlock it, fix up the craft file it had 2 items on it that didn`t need to be there.

Just disable the LCARS once you establish an orbit with the impulse drive.
