tater Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You can superimpose them in the VAB, and this pod is indeed slightly bigger. 4 seems crowded, but 3 is the mk1-2...A 2 man would be more useful (there is another modded one out there, I know).Would it be possible to do 2 man with some additional feature, like perhaps having a external "locker" that might contain science parts (where the hatch is, but on the other side)?Then at least it makes use of that extra space.Nice pod, BTW.

MoeKitsune Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Sorry to be a Grammar Police Officer, but you spelled "be" as "bee", as in the animal. It should be "be". Back to talking about the mod, the pod looks great! Can't wait to see the finished mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebuchadnezzar Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I've noticed that the docking port doesn't seem to work with the stock standard docking port. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabaal2 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yes there seams to be a problem with the docking port attaching to the stock one. ill try to fix that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasmic Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A fourth seat wouldn't look very good though. I think this is more of a stock-alike orion....which seats up to six astronauts.It would make sense to let this pod fit 4 Kerbals, though. The Mk. 1-2 is analogous to the Apollo Capsule. The real life SpaceX Dragon V2 will seat seven, and actually has a smaller diameter than the Apollo. I don't think it would be a stretch to fit four Kerbals into this pod - it probably wouldn't even get cramped. Aside from that, there are already three two-Kerbal capsules available in other mods, but not a single 4-Kerbal pod. Aside from all that, I think this pod is simply too large to make sense as a 2 kerbal pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabaal2 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 your right mate and i did mention that if the pole is voted for 3 man i will make it a 4 man as i had intended. and you have a valid point apolo used old technology and because of that was very cramped. If we wanted we could probably manage a full flight form here to mars with an iphone as a computer. So lets not argue with the amount of kerbals this will hold. 2 or 4 are the options or ill seriously make an iphone lookalike to be the central control panel in this command pod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a 3.75m pod (Which I think it should be, the only other ones of those are either really pointy or really flat) then 4 is quite reasonable, but if it's only a 2.5m pod I'm unsure how 4 are going to fit. Mind you I haven't actually downloaded it (Been away from my KSP for a while now) s I cant say one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, the Orion was capable of holding six astronauts, but would only carry four on deep space missions. However, the Wiki seems to agree with you, so I might be wrong.

SmashBrown Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Will it be integrated into the community tech tree? I would personally love this as a late game pod to unlock, something gorgeous to look forward to :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabaal2 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm starting to think that now as i have 2 textures for the command pods. I could make internals for each texture and make the high textured one 2 man, for longer flights. And the more stock like would be 4 man for more close to kerbin flights. and place them in the tech tree accordingly. What do you guys think ?

sp1989 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I can't seem to load the capsule in game. Is this happening to anyone else? I am running a few mods but nothing outrageous. I am running ATM as well, so that might be the problem. However the game just doesn't load and it get stuck at the same point every time. "123parchutebump" or something like that. Its in the picture.

This allows the pod to have very pretty textures, but it's also incredibly memory hogging. You might want to try the low res version instead.

However the game just doesn't load and it get stuck at the same point every time. "123parchutebump" or something like that. Its in the picture.What Wasmic said. And to further explain a bit, the game isn't 'frozen' when you see nothing happening, as in the screenshot you posted, at least not in this case. Since the texture file is SO big, it's taking ATM a REALLY long time to compress the texture, but this will only happen the FIRST time you start the game after adding the A.M.U.R.E. pod to your GameData folder. I mean, depending on your rig, it could take 10 or 15 minutes or even longer to compress all of the textures in the mod's folder. I think it took my computer at least 10 minutes when I tried this mod out. So, 'patience, Grasshopper'. The good news is that after the first time, your load times will go right back to what you're used to. Until and unless you delete the ATM texture cache file, anyway, then it'll have to do it all over again. So, anyway, I hope this explanation helps. Later!

Later!Wow I knew that I just figured it was frozen because it got hung up on that one piece for a very long time. I am very familiar with the new ATM and the waiting period for high texture mods. However sometime there is a hang up with some file and it doesn't load at all. In this case you are right I was a tad impatient. However I just downloaded the the low texture version and it works great. I need to stress that I am definitely in love with this pod. I love love the way it looks and performs. Everything you have made thus far looks amazing I commend you for that. One thing is that the heat shield isn't DRE ready!! I almost lost the whole thing during reentry. Because of my exquisite piloting skills and a little bit of luck........ok it was all luck I was able to save the capsule before it was lost. Here is an album of the Ares I replica test flight I did.

Kitworks Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Very handsome pod. I already use the 2-man pod many people have linked to, so I'd rather see this as a 3 or 4 kerbal pod. It fits stylistically very nicely with the 2-man pod, which is nice.I'd love to see a fix for the docking ports being incompatible with the stock ports.

Gryphorim Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) I've asked this a lot on the forums of late, but would you consider making a docking port with flip-top nosecone-cover.
