Radial LF+O tanks? Pwease??

[SlabGizor117]

I would love to see some small RCS size radial mount LF+O tanks, something you could stick in a payload bay, maybe. We have it for RCS and Xenon, why not Liquid Fuel? Mostly I think this would be emergency reserve fuel in, like I said, payload bays for shuttles and SSTOs. I like to put most of my RCS fuel in the service module of my payload bays, so I thought that would be helpful too.

We could even do the same thing as the Mk 2/3 jet fuel/LF+O tanks where the LFO tanks have grey stripes. That is, if they used the same model and colors as RCS tanks.

Let me know what you think!'

Yeah Id like this. This would also come in handy when packing landers into fairings down the road.

If only there was a small lfo tank that would exactly fit the task and only has to get the option to be attached radially....

I'm looking at you Oscar-B

I absolutely agree. And as stated above I think the Oscar-B would be a good solution for that. It might need a small mass reduction aswell

[SlabGizor117]

I think it would be fun to have something like this in a service module, idk why, maybe other people feel like this, but I think it'd be cool to have, like, a fairing around the service module with all the "bits and bobs" with some life support(if you had TAC), solar panels, batteries, comms antennae, etc. and just have everything packed in there, y'know. I tried making a service module with the KW rocketry interstage but it turned out crap because the interstages don't even work

[Alshain]

I agree on the Oscar B, I always script-mod it to be radially attachable. It makes no sense that it's the only tank of that cylindrical nature not to be radially attachable.

[SlabGizor117]

It took me a sec to figure out what Prophet meant by a radially attachable Oscar-B tank, I thought like an Oscar-B sized RCS modeled LFO tank lol, but yeah that's annoying

It's actually very, very easy. Just copy the part cfg for the radial monoprop tank and replace monopropellant with an appropriate amount of LFO. Maybe you can have one for oxidizer and one for LFO, easy drop tanks?

This isn't a request for a mod, but a request for a stock feature.

[SlabGizor117]

Good point Wabbit, I might try that although, I have NO idea how to make a custom part or anything so that would be a challenge itself

[AbacusWizard]

You can fake it using cubic octagonal struts and the offset tool. It'd be nice to have radial attachment by default though.

[Frozen_Heart]

Get the KSPX part pack. It has the exact two part you're asking for. Some of the parts from the pack have since been moved to stock as well.

Oh dear I've started doing the very thing I hate people doing...
