A few extra struts and some RCS ports and the Delta-V Heavy Lifter was ready for prime time. No longer flaccid when the need for thrust arose, it stood up to the challenge!

Problem: I want to start playing with the new spaceplane parts, but I also want to rescue an astronaut who was left on the mun.

Solution:









...and munar orbit is where it'll stay for now because I burned too much fuel on an emergency landing site retargeting.

Does anyone here use the Orbital Material Science mod? I tried installing it through CKAN but I can't see the parts anywhere. I've used other mods and they all appear just fine, only this one seems to refuse to show up.

I'm designing a space station at the moment, using lots of Roverdude parts from OKS and FTT. They look loving amazing, and will provide me an intro to the resources system (they're just for prettiness at this point)

Trick is, these two packs don't mesh aesthetically with each other. OKS is small and brown, kinda organic and homey. FTT is huge and very industrial looking. There are adapter pieces, but the change in color and style is kinda jarring.

I'm basically looking for more legos for these packs. FTT structural parts in particular; 2.5m size, those cool yellow/black girders as small standalone parts, different nodes or the like. More docking ports would be good too, since I need to assemble this thing in orbit.


Roverdude, perhaps you have some in other parts packs? Or if anyone is aware of a forked mod that includes something like this.

Actually now that you mention it I don't see them under the tech levels listed in the mods curse thing. That is odd. I thought it was further up the tree on the bottom, not where it shows.

I both own and operate a pirate ship.
I setup a large mining station on Kerbin at the airfield and did a bunch of missions. When it was full I recovered it for over $500,000 profit. Now I have enough money to setup my rocket building base. Soon I won't have to use the KSC at all.

I did it just barely using 3 big orange tanks (side by side, with fuel lines to the center stage) with 3 skipper engines (and 4 winglets for stability). Everything else was pretty minimal. Just the zoology lab with two docking ports. The command section was a MK1 capsule with a small RCS tank and RCS thrusters (all it needs to de-orbit into atmo). I also placed a set of RCS thrusters on the lab itself, on the CoM for the lab + command section to make docking easier (also remember to disable the re-entry RCS on the command pod, or they will throw your docking off).

It came in at just a hair under 140 tons and roughly 4500dV. Using FAR it can make it up to an 80k orbit with enough leftover fuel to rendezvous with a small safety buffer left over, as long as you have a relatively efficient ascent.

So this is a dumb question, I just realized that despite my satellites (remotetech) getting the line to kerbin mission control when in los, they don't seem to really connect to anything else. Am I doing it wrong, don't omni-directional things allow communication without targeting?? I flew up a ship with a communotron on it and they are both operational but when I switch over to the satellite it just says No Connection when out of LOS of KSC.

Did you activate the antenna? Only thing I can think of, they connect automatically if they're in range of another antenna and you'll see a line drawn between them even if they're not connected to KSC.

Is it a range issue? Communotron 16 only reaches 2500km, which is slightly too short to reach KSC itself from keostationary orbit, and way to short to reach other satellites in keostationary orbit (unless you put up a whole bunch of them in a ring).

Communotron 32 reaches 5000km, which is not quite enough for 3 keostationary satellites to reach each other in an equilateral triangle. 4 satellites in a square would work, but you have less than 100km margin of error.

Nah in this case my ship is humped up on the satellite. They both have omni antennas deployed. It was fine until I undocked it again and then it was no connection. Not sure what I might have screwed up.

I'll preface this by saying I love the crap out of your parts, and I feel almost bad complaining about lack of options considering how much you've produced.

In a nutshell, this is my problem:


In the meantime I'll just throw some other 2.5m part in between like a workshop or something but the :spergin: in me wants everything to match.


What I want:
More structural parts for the Starlifter series, because its really cool. The yellow girder segments in different sizes/shapes, a Starlifter version of the 2.5m OKS station tubes.



Here's a stripped down version of what I'm making. I really like the yellow girders along with the fuel tanks, it gives it a nice industrial feel to it.


Do I need to register in order to log a github issue?

Could you post a couple pictures when it's disconnected, both in map view and what the satellite actually looks like? I tested this myself and it doesn't seem to be an issue with undocking and splitting a craft, at least, so I'm stumped given the info you've posted.
