kerbonaut101 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Given that you'll need to use this fuel in space, you kinda need to have oxidizer with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikaneko Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Dude, they already have oxidiser in them. They're the ones with the black stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnok Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 OP is right if we have tank with 600 fuel only, we need tank with oxidizer only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm in the opposite direction, I wish some of the SP+ fueled adapters could be made LF only. I always seem to end up tweaking oxidizer out rather than wishing I had more.Ideally we could choose for each tank shape in tweakables, don't know if that will ever happen.

MKI Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Dude, they already have oxidiser in them. They're the ones with the black stripes.This.Really you should just use the LFO ones and tweak out some oxidiser. If you REALLY need oxidiser only, use tweakables.I'm in the opposite direction, I wish some of the SP+ fueled adapters could be made LF only. I always seem to end up tweaking oxidizer out rather than wishing I had more.Ideally we could choose for each tank shape in tweakables, don't know if that will ever happen.That would be optimal especially for the SP+ parts as there aren't as many choices as a rocket build. But outside of having specalized RCS tanks, tweakables always give a player what he needs in the same shape. (for the most part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegereneku Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I agree with this : Ideally we could choose for each tank shape in tweakables, don't know if that will ever happen. And I'm actually surprised it haven't been done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet_01 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yep, I was confused that it wasn't implemented with tweakables, too. I can imagine to use both variants anyway and it has been suggested before the update... well I just hope they want to add this in beta and just pushed it back a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereaverofdarkness Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'm still waiting for oxidizer-only tanks to become available but I did feel that some of the Mk2 parts should have a LF only option.A better idea would be to be able to select fuel types for a tank, altering the max you can put in. For instance, if you select LF + O it would automatically balance to a 9/11 ratio. In the basic Mk 2 fuselage this would give you a max of 270 liquid fuel and 330 oxidizer. But if you choose only oxidizer, you can put 600 in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I've never understood why some people think that we need O-only tanks. I strongly disagree with the perceived need for them, and think that they would be unnecessary clutter and complexity. Not newbie-friendly. There is a clear need for LF-only tanks, but there is never a situation which actually requires O-only. Either carry less LF in the first place, or carry more LF+O.I've heard the arguments before, that somehow it makes sense to enable use of the dregs of LF-only tanks once out of the atmosphere, but have never been even remotely convinced by those arguments. The perceived benefits of a bit more orbital dV would very likely be minuscule, or even non-existent due to the additional weight required to carry the O-only up there in the first place.So, an emphatic "NO, this makes no sense" from me, unless someone can actually produce a convincing case for it (which I believe is impossible).
