I'm still thinking about how I want to change the trusses.  I can either keep the overall style or go with something slightly different like the trusses in HabTech.

I might go with something between the two.

Any thoughts?

something in between should work, but i totally like Hex Truss over the trusses in the hab tech mod. strictly my personal opinion though. 

[drtedastro]

your trusses are great...

Cheers.

[SpeedyB]

Ok I'll keep the truss' look the same.  I will update the ends of them though to make them a little more up to date.

Hey there! Just wanting to find out if this is updated to 1.1 yet

[alacrity]

The return of Truss's to my career mode. I can't wait to build Spindle Mk6

 

Thanx for the hard work Speedy

You still have a link to Kerbal Stuff  on the first post.

[JewelShisen]

Can we get the trusses put into a lower tech tier? Please? Having them that far up just seems ridiculous.

[SpeedyB]

I'll try to get this updated this Saturday if I have time.  No new parts yet.

I will rebalance when these parts are unlocked to make it more useful in the mid game.

Great news!  I build my Communication Orbital Platforms mostly from these parts!  Great parts, I wish we could still give rep.

(Cracks knuckles) Time to get my shuttle flight rated for kerbals and build another station. Glad to see you back @SpeedyB .

Mod is now updated to support 1.1.x

I also updated a couple textures.

Mod also added to SpaceDock and CKAN

Nice, my favorite truss is back.

 

Guess its time for a new space station.

Might take a bit for CKAN to recognize the new version

awesome,! didnt the last truss mod have a certain lisence that prevented anyone from updating it, when the mod author went away?  that sucks... but still, awesome.

CKAN is updated. Good to see this one back!

AFAIK it's better to use DDS as textures...
Just my two cents.

[SpeedyB]

Next version I'll convert to DDS.  Didn't have time to do it this time around.

[SpeedyB]

Working on stuff...

[drtedastro]

looks great.

was looking for tweakscale config.  found in earlier posts, but the link is 404.

anyone know of any new and or available cfg files for this???

Cheers.

Here's a Tweakscale config, which works for me, but no warranty and ymmv, especially with new appearing parts.

What mod is that command pod from in your first picture?

[SpeedyB]

That command pod is from Near Future Spacecraft by Nertia

am i correct in assuming that this will work in 1.0.2 ? if so, can i please ask to fix kerbal stuff refrence too? thanks

edit: also, can i ask for a feature? if you ever played with box sat, then you know that the parts have this cap part that will sit on the edge of the cube and make the box complete, how about instead of having two different truss one being profile and one having walls, you just have the truss and two different type of walls one for the bigger face and one for the in between small faces and one for top and bottom faces? this way, you may reduce the part count in the mod but gives players more flexibility to add the caps to the faces where and when they want.

Hi, I see the ending part of my suggestion but How about the wall suggestion? Also, a new suggestion and feature request? how about make a truss that would behave like cargo bay with opening side?

thanks

[Jiraiyah]

sigh, what is wrong with some part's collider? they look like the collider is low sided cylinder not the proper shape they have damn never noticed it by now. why use any collider other than the mesh itself specially for these type of parts it would be useful simply because it would let us put smaller parts INSIDE the truss segment

[tg626]

Colliders are simple shapes for performance reasons.  3D gaming fact of life.
