![]() ![]() ![]() this could easily be fixed by bumping up the isp of the plasma thrusters (after all, I did not expect 'Super-efficient' to mean an isp of only 4200s, when high-isp magnetoplasma engines can get up to 10,000 - 30,000s) However in the mod the endurance only has a Delta-V of around 17km/s. a few calculations based on what went on in the movie puts the Delta-V of the endurance at 120-130km/s, and that assumes gravitational slingshots are used for all relativistic burns. the isp of the lander's engines is inconsistent, please fix that if possible however there are a few quick questions/suggestions I should point out to make the mod closer both to the movie and to reality There will also be 4 Kerbals from the Colony coming along to Kerbin.Hello, i've had this mod for the last few weeks, and I have really enjoyed seeing the amount of time and effort put into it. I'll also send the Endurance back with the Original crew once Sidrie gets to Laythe. Meanwhile, the Base will be set up, and the Kerbals will start a new home. He'll see his family again before leaving on a Viper. I will Hyperedit him back home before he hits the "Surface". Sidrie will play Cooper and ditch himself and the Ranger into Jool's Atmosphere. They will then leave Vall, and sling around Jool to Laythe. I'll pretend the Ranger pilot went unconscious. Then I'll pretend that there was a malfunction on the CSV and start spinning it really fast. Then they will take off, leaving Vall Base behind. The Lander will pack up the KAS equipment. The Ranger will go up first, with just one crew member. The crew will stay there for a few weeks, exploring the surrounding area, taking photos, observing the sky, and doing Science! experiments. I will then take down the Science Unit to the surface of Vall. It would allow for more building capabilitys (I could ditch the two extra Habitation modules and replace one with a Cyro module so I could have more fuel for exploring).Īlso, the plan is to dock the habitat to the free port on the Colony Set-up Vehicle (CSV) Paulina and dock the Lander to the underside docking port featured exclusively in the "No Time for Caution" scene. Then you just have to use Trottle controled avionics to balance it.Īlso, are you going to make a Cyrogenic module? On the flight to Jool I swung around Eve and Duna so the crew must have been very bored. I created a mini lift engine (a moded vernier from B9 ) that I put under the nose. But I know of too fix that part too, I did something similar to allow the lander to fly with heavy stuff under it. Not a big deal but the lift engine will never realy be under the center of weight. Note that the fuel is stored in the main body, so as the ranger burn its fuel the center of mass will slowly move foward. Anyway I think the ranger is not heavy enough, so I raised its foward RCS weight. ![]() So what I did is simple, I played with the weight of individual part until I had a "decent" center of weight. As far as I know ,there is no way to change the center of mass in config. I just use the Lander for now ( too much mod.). Perhaps it has something to do with that? I've also noticed that the center of lift on the Ranger is way near the back while the center of lift on the Lander is near the front. ![]()
