@AndrewGarrison I'm going to ask you here instead of making a suggestion to keep it "secret".
Can you add an option to hide a craft from map view so we can add easter eggs to RSS?
@PhilipTarpley no problem, this update has so much content it's normal something can slip :) Thank's for your amazing work, the game is looking so polish and this is still 0.7
@AndrewGarrison nice to see negative mass go away :)
Translation/rotation tools are totally broken, check it out or people may get upset with this beta
@AndrewGarrison I love the idea of the gimballed rcs, I think multi-nozzle rcs fit better the diy part of the game or at least the subassembly part of it.
About the subassembly parts packs we're making can you make it so the subassembly folder can read from folders inside? Now we have to put the parts directly into the subassemblies folder and it gets messy, being able to place, imagine, SpaceX Engines in a folder called that can be very helpful for us :)
@AndrewGarrison and about RCS presets, what do you think about adding RCS blocks that are really multiple parts and not a dedicated one. Like the part packs we're making
@AndrewGarrison I was going to make my own ones (adding a rcs nozzle with 1e-3 thrust and taking the output as the controller for an engine) but if you add rcs option to any engine that won't be necessary.
If you add that option you may be able to get rid of current RCS and just make it a preset, but for easy use thay may mean that engine attachments should work like rcs ones, being able to attach to any surface and I don't know if you want that.
@Kell hm, fuel flow is based on fuel mass or fuel volume? If it's fuel mass the thrust is the same, only the Isp changes
I'm glad 8 is dead then hahahaha
Water nuclear aerospikes aren't a thing in real life too :/
@AnotherFireFox I will love to see you reaching Mach 25 on the StratoSphere, I'm sure you have to hit escape velocity of Earth or something like that because of how thin the atmosphere is
What was 8? What do you mean with 17?
For 14 I would say 30MPa and for 15 add that higher max values too.
If I remember it right 12 is already a thing.
I like this post more than the other hahahaha no more nerfing :P
@AnotherFireFox In this game Mach is Mach, not like in other games :). In Earth's orbit you have Mach 0. Mach 25 is a vertical reentry at really huge speeds.
@Kell hm, that's actually a good idea but how do you would implement that? This way we will have to add 100% efficiency engines for RSS, that won't change automatically
@AndrewGarrison model rockets, separation stages, RCS like engines (I'm planning to use the rcs thrust to control the throttle of some engines to have more powerful RCS)
And also for the looks, of course
@AndrewGarrison I think this is not important enough to be a suggestion or a bug so I'll say it here.
The crew cabin is too small, I've never cared about it but now that you can see the size of the pilot it's weird to see the head and the feet stick out.
Why not making the default radius 2m instead of 1.6? Or even a bit bigger to fit the dummy
@Kell not necessarily RSS but make Droo have 1/2 Earth size instead of 1/5, so it's easier than in real life but not so easy as it is right now.
Also RSS for stock may have too many bodies
@AndrewGarrison I'm glad to read this. Personally I think 0.7 needs a long beta testing period (I'm happy you released now) because it's too important. I think this will be one of the most important updates for the game ever (with the planet builder one). Keep this great work, and ask for anything you need :)
@AndrewGarrison that's another good solution, yes. The warp can end up with the same problem I had with the warp drive having too much acceleration for the game ticks
@Kell hmm... I tried to replicate raptor and merlin engines and the game now has too low chamber pressure and a reduction in Isp compared to real live. I imagine planet builder and career mode will balance the game.
About the TWR I think you're right, they're a bit too light. And now that I think of it I have to take a look at prices tomorrow.
@AndrewGarrison From inside of the exhaust there's no white outlayer and the exhaust looks like a flame From outside it looks like it has a white sharp border
Can you make the throttle inputcontroller appear when checking the hidden properties? Also a check for autoActivateIfNoStageOrActivationGroup would be so great to have :3

5.6 years ago@Kell Sadly :(
+1 5.6 years ago@Opise227 why? I like the new textures, the only problem is cone shape having the weird lines
+2 5.6 years ago@AndrewGarrison nice to see negative mass go away :)

Bell texture looks a bit weird when you extend the nozzle, but cone texture looks pretty weird when you extend the nozzle

@AndrewGarrison what do you think about forcing supportsWarpBurn to true for SRBs?
+1 5.7 years ago@AndrewGarrison From inside of the exhaust there's no white outlayer and the exhaust looks like a flame

@AnotherFireFox of course, but you have to use the new engines and the new fuels
+1 5.7 years agoThe under expansion could look better without the white outlayer
5.7 years agoShock diamonds <3
+1 5.7 years agoA fix for the SRBs on warp can be setting supportsWarpBurn="true" like for ion engines
5.7 years ago@AndrewGarrison maybe setting supportsWarpBurn="true" for srbs can prevent them breaking when warping speed
