NASA IXS Class Warpship, and Spacedocks - For KSP-I and Stock KSP

[Jan Gaarni]

Finally got around to putting all the major stuff on my space station around Kerbin.

Still working on research to unlock alot of the IXS parts though.

But I was wondering, is it possible to make the lights on the spacedocks turn on and off?

Oh, and of course I have picture.

I got bored while building planes, and decided to try something unorthodox

Its slow, but it handles surprisingly well. It also lands quite gently

[Jan Gaarni]

Bah, when is anything done in KSP considered unorthodox?

Nice use of the saucer section.

You should replace the jet engines with some R.A.P.I.E.R. or Sabre engines, and see if you can get it into space.

As some others previously in the thread, I can't get the Quantum Vaccum thruster to work. I'm using KSPI, non-lite.

The new interstellar release changed way some nodes work - just copy+paste the new module node and the effects node from the large MPD

I see. Do I have to delete anything from the IXS class? And what is the MPD? Haven't done much interstellar.

EDIT: Aha, it's an engine. I also notice that the main-hull says something about Thorium deprived or something. I'm guessing I forgot to put an IXS part that contains it?

It might seem somewhat redundant, but is it possible to have both Interstellar version and Stock version installed at the same time?

I tried and everything works except for the reactor section which is always the KSPI one, even if you used the Stock reactor version in VAB.

I think I'm going to make a dual-hull (lengthwise) ship with 3 alcubierres and as many/several of the (stock version) QVZ thrusters as possible.

[Gryphorim]

Is there going to be a release of this to suit RoverDude's Alcubierre drive?

[temporalExile]

Could you possibly make a version that works off of RoverDudes simplified warp drive once its officially released?

EDIT: YAY! My first time being ninja'd!

Ninja'd

[RoverDude]

FYI - if you want to collaborate on making this warp drive compatible with my code, I'd be happy to help.

[Bacon_commando]

Does the stock version work in 0.25?

[UAL002]

Does the stock version work in 0.25?

Yes but with stock the warp drive isn't a warp drive. Its just a really efficient engine I think. We're all waiting with bated breath to see if Roverdude warp tech can be incorporated into this mod. I suggest you wait and see.

[RoverDude]

See note above re collaboration

[FreeThinker]

Hey, I this mod also Compatible with the 0.25 version of KSP interstellar? I don't use KSP interstellar Lite because it's not upgraded yet to 0.25

for some reason i dont get the command pod texture in stock version, its just a blank solid. all other parts work however. excited for first launch. anyone have tips on getting an IXS into orbit?

You need a big lifting stage(s).

On another note, whenever I tried to fire up the main engine to move the IXS the ship would start flipping out, and it would not stop turning with the engine on, even at minimal power. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Same problem here.

EDIT: First I replaced the part from the stock version through the Command Pod Standalone, didn't work. Then I replaced it through the Interstellar part and now the textures are visible.

EDIT2: And now it stopped working again, I didn't change a thing. It's the only part where this happens.

Much sadness discovered after building a 2.5kT Minmus ore miner only to find the engines doing this to me

Using the Stock KSP Version and latest version of Firespitter.

Bacon_Commando, it sounds like your center of mass is out of line with your center of thrust. I'd try rebalancing the ship.

"I'm sorry Dave I can't let you do that". haha nice addition of hal

I don't think theres really any reason it couldn't, I've already ported things in KSP plenty of times and unless i'm missing something, it only requires copy-paste in the cfg file.

Not quite. Missing animations, transforms, and all that jazz, and of course no bubble. Haven't heard from the OP (I expect my suggestion RE some kind of collaboration got buried in other posts).

[SpaceMouse]

noticed that. Had to test it after that post. XD
