Semi-misleading title??/

..maybe!

Anyway!

Hello all! My name is TimberWolffe and I'll be your host for tonight! In this thread, I'll be finding out what parts you, the community want, because I am not at all creative or imaginative and I seriously need help with this!

Basically, I want to make a parts pack. What's gonna be in it? well, a few new resources (which kinda fit in with KSP 'lore'), a bunch(ish) of new parts, and if I can convince someone to help out, maybe a plugin to tweak some gameplay!

Why haven't I made it already? Well..I said it earlier. I am unimaginative and uncreative and I suck. Big time.

So yeah help me pls

Update (To be merged into other post)

I tried making the bearing using the Klaw's rotation module and well

it'll need it's own plugin

here's why:

Turns out it's hardcoded to do that

1.5m part, about the same size as a battery pack, uses the system for the claw to rotate at both ends but only along the spin axis.

Unpowered but lockable bearing essentially.

So a Spinny thing, possibly of doom? I should be able to figure out how to do that!

Ah, that would be where sucking up to and recruiting the help of someone who knows how to code plugins comes in XD

[Starwhip]

This should really be in the Development sub-forum.

But how about stack-mounted monoprop engines and radial VERNOR engines in a RCS Thruster block configuration?

[TimberWolffe]

Imma start a list XD

Yep, should be no problemo!

also I wasn't sure really if this was a request for help or an issue for development so I'll leave it to mods to put me in the right spot

Consider it done

Some small surface mountable lights would be nice

This. It'd be nice if you could color parts through tweakables on the right click menu rather than a somewhat clunky extra interface.

Also, lighting. I'm surprised we don't get more lighting options. I like to see my craft at night.

I'll have a look and try convince some plugin devs to join up with me on my quest. Also, any specifics for lighting? larger/smaller spotlights, strip lighting etc?

How about Strobes? (FTW)

[TimberWolffe]

I'll give it a try! (but not too strobey, don't wanna be causing seizures)

Like this?

engines. nobody makes engines. we could use more part packs with lots of vaguely different engines.

ooo, pretty. But I believe what RW meant was full on disco strobe, kinda like this:

Not sure why I didn't see this before..

What sort? from probe sized to 5m or maybe even bigger? and what sort of thrust?

What chu talking about willis?

Ive seen tons of engine part packs out there.

[Franklin]

Sarcasm, kids. Literally everyone makes engines. We have enough engines. The market is completely saturated for engines. Stop making engines.

Multi-adaptors that turn 3.75m parts into several 1.25m parts. Like these, but bigger:

It'll be hard, but..added to the list!

[Alshain]

FYI, you can use Aviation Lights for strobes. They have flash and double flash functions.

As for KerbPaint, it's license isn't permissive, otherwise I might take a look at it.

For requests, we can always use more landing gear. Alas, I'm a programmer, not a modeler.

Meh, wouldn't hurt to have a strobe anyway XD

So it'd have to be a 'ground-up' project, huh..? dangit!

To the list!

v Me if you want to work together XD

[Taki117]

If at all possible I would like to see more Stand Alone Command pods. While lots of mods have them, they are really only designed to work with that particular mod, and not much else so it would be nice to have some "Generic" capsules. Also if you feel like taking it over Deep Space Mission Pack could use an overhaul.

Thank you!

hopefully I can try to get my additions to DSM look like normal DSM stuff >.>

Pretty much. I haven't done a whole lot with the KSP so I'm not sure how much I can do right now. However now that Bukkit is dead I may have more time for it.

v Me if you want to work together XD

Well like I said I'm still very new to KSP and a little out of practice with C# but I wouldn't mind giving it a try if you have any ideas.
