Author: NecroBones

Special Thanks:

  • Red Iron Crown, for lots of feedback and ideas, and alpha testing.
  • And many others for bug reports and feedback!

Modular Rocket Systems is a parts pack for KSP, with the following design goals:

  1. Fill in some of the gaps in the selection of stock parts. For example, size-3 and size-0 SAS modules, and size-3 monopropellant tanks.
  2. Preserve the stock balance. All parts have their costs, masses, and capacities chosen based on stock analogs.
  3. Provide some additional cosmetic choices. Examples include the 2.5m fuel tanks, and various nose cones. They have direct analogs in the stock line-up, and share the same stats, but give you additional aesthetic options.
  4. Maintain a stock-like appearance and seamlessly fit into the game, while following its own artistic style. This one is trickier, but by taking cues from the stock-parts, it's possible to make something new, that also fits with the game's existing aesthetic.
  5. Be friendly to your CPU/GPU. Very importantly, these parts follow most of the stock-part rules for how polygons are used, and collision meshes are configured. They shouldn't reduce your framerate any more than the stock parts do.

 

All of the models and textures were made 100% from scratch, using Blender, Photoshop, and Unity. The only exception is the "mini orange tank" which borrowed a scaled-down sample of the orange pattern from the stock Jumbo Orange tank.

"Modular Rocket Systems" is also the in-game manufacturer of these parts, and they will appear as an agency that can provide contracts for career mode (assuming I've set it up right - untested), and have a flag available for use as well.

Feature on "2-minute mods":

Installation Instructions:

1. If upgrading from a previous copy, it's recommended to delete the old "ModRocketSys" folder first.

2. Backup your "saves" folder! While not required for installing mods, it's a good idea anyway. If any parts you have already used (including stock parts) fail to load, you'll have ships getting deleted!

3. Download and open the ZIP file.

4. Copy the "ModRocketSys" folder into your "GameData" folder.

5. If upgrading, check your designs in the VAB/SPH. If attachment nodes have changed, you may need to reposition parts.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a general rule, parts have their mass, cost, capacities, and so forth based on stock analogs. Where possible, they are direct ratios of stock parts.

Engines:

Engine Mass Thrust ISP Comparison
0.625m "Sparkler" 0.25 25 300-390 50% LV-909
0.625m Monopropellant 0.15 30 220-290 1.5x O-10
2.5m Quad-Nuclear 9 240 220-800 4x LV-N

I get 403 Forbidden on your website and Mod Not Found on CurseForge :/

Oh man, LOL. I just KNEW I'd do that. On my site it's just a permissions thing, so it's fixed. You can download now. I've put a fix in place to make sure it doesn't happen anymore. If I forget to set the permissions next time I upload a version, it'll correct itself inside an hour.

On the curse site, they have to approve the project, which I'm guessing will take a few days.

The fact that no one was able to download it yet gave me the opportunity to stick one more part in. There was one that was completely broken this morning, so it wasn't included initially, but I had time to fix it.

*Heart Eyes* Thank you so much! I've been waiting for Squad to do an art pass on stock parts (because most of them are quite ugly, especially when you mix the disparate styles together) but this mod is totally beautiful! Combined with RLA stockalike we finally have some great, and essential, parts to use.

Ah great, it looks like my project upload on Curse was rejected. No reason given. I'll try again.

If I can't get it posted there, at least my own website can host the files.

I have a suspicion that the rejections (yes, plural, it happened again, in seconds) are due to my formatted text descriptions, since they're copy/pasted from the forum post here. It's probably inserting some HTML that they're auto-detecting and rejecting, considering how quickly it happens. There's no notification, or explanation, or appeal button.

My third attempt is still awaiting approval. I posted it with the bare minimums-- plain text, the logo, and the file. So we'll see what happens.

Thanks everyone! :)

I'm looking for comments and opinions on the 5-way adapter, specifically the fairings on it. I think it looks pretty good when attached to the right kind of fuel tank, but I'm considering updating the model to make the fairings extend inward only as far as necessary, and appear hollow.... or something along those lines. I'm not sure yet. I can muck around with it pretty easily without it breaking your ships in a future update, since the fairings are non-collidable, and the part doesn't accept surface attachment anyway.

Additional images of it, for those who haven't downloaded:

Necrobones: I like the aesthetic of the 5-way adapter but I haven't found much of a usage scenario for it yet. If you have a 3.75m stack that needs 5 2.5m engines you're almost always better off going with one of the 3.75m SLS engines. If we had 2.5m NERVAs it might be good for big motherships, but we don't so it's usually better to use your 7-way adapter (which is a great part BTW). I tried putting a bunch of 2.5m docking ports on it to serve as a hub for a modular orbital ship, but they're so close together that docking becomes difficult.

So not really anything wrong with the part itself, just that it's not overly useful yet. More of a comment on the dearth of good 2.5m engines.

Actually it's 2.5m to 5x 1.25m, and a set of 5 LV-T30 engines would provide around 1075 thrust, putting it at an advantage over a Skipper, but well below a Mainsail. However using it for a set of NERVAs might work well as a possible use case.

It only looks huge in the screenshots. :)

Herpity derp, I need to look at it again, that sounds much more useful! I think I was thrown by one of your tanks atop it, the textures make it look like an SLS tank.

Apologies for the mixup.

Heh, no worries. I've been trying to do most of the screenshots with familiar parts attached for that very reason, but ended up not doing so that time. ;) It shows how important it is to plan screenshots well.
