Kethane Station Discussion

hmmm, does Chapter 25 need bombers?  if so I'll look mine over and do some finishing touches on it before submitting.

[Mobius]

Perhaps lower the density of terrain scatters? That may reduce the load on the remaining ones. 

[Halban]

I'll try some of these suggestions, though I did just load up a stock and freshly downloaded copy of the game and guess what I found. Can others check to see if they're getting this bug too so we can try to diagnose it?

I'm getting it. 

Stock and modded.

I get it too, but it is mostly when the cloud cover is pretty thick. I did report it as a bug to @rbray89 a while ago, believing it had something to do with EVE. He told me that it is the shaders in KSP.

I'm hoping this is repaired with the update to 1.2. I hate having a great shot lined up to have these ugly things pop up.

Could you cut losses by disabling shadows?

I don't think it's related to shadows. It seems to be a bug with textures that use transparent areas like static light effects and of course the trees.

You should really make a thread in vanilla thread support, since it seems the bug doesn't care if mods are installed or no. Maybe it won't give much, but someone might have encountered it before and found a way to fix it.

[Halban]

I've submitted it to the bugtracker. Let's hope this is fixed in 1.2 so I can continue the episode. 

[NotAnAimbot]

That's a lot of craft, @Mobius.

Sorry for the low quality, but I had to post it after seeing dozens of CAI crates passing by train near my town. I'll try to get a picture of them later on.

[Alphasus]

Are you looking for any spacecraft? If so, I have a new line of ships that are just a bit bigger than fighters(18-35 tons). Only asking if I should submit now, or post- episode 25.

Post-episode 25 preferably, since we'll get the new thread up after it drops.

Ok then. Thanks for the help!

 There you go guys. This crate has been sitting there since June. I wonder what's inside....

CAI = Cyten Aerospace Industries. @Mobius is sending something...

[Mycroft]

THIS is what @Mobius is building!

Good god that is huge.

@HatBat, any luck with the graphics glitch?

You can see his report here if you're interested.

I've (potentially) got it! Are you, by any chance, using Stock Visual Enhancements? If so, there is an option to disable the cloud shadows shader which apparently helps with graphical bugs on trees and wheels!

@Dtpain, nice craft! I would recommend withholding submissions until after the next episode, which, if I understand @HatBat correctly, is almost done. After it comes out, we will have a new thread solely for submitting ships, while this remains the discussion thread. I'd be interested to see how your tank faces off against my tanks and personnel carriers! Also if you're open to feedback, structural panels make excellent armor, being heat resistant and cheap.

Link to my tank: https://kerbalx.com/Mycroft_33/Viper-1 

With it, I experimented with having radiator armor. It actually works well.

This is not a submission, by the way.

[The Optimist]

It seems that even 10 layer thick steel plates are vulnerable to 50 cal fire if concentrated, such as the fact that my tiny AA drone tank can take down basically anything you put it against.
