Fixed naming on short Eludium tanks. Corrected lack of propellant on RFRCD Added missing Beagleworks Agency

Space Opera 1.0 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Tue, 07 Mar 2017 21:26:23

This version primarily just increments the version number to 1.0 as a release version. It also adds in a RF resonant cavity device, based on the latest (at time of writing) peer review article. Better known as the "EM Drive". I've used the actual figures, full scale, using the assumption that 1EC=1kJ

Space Opera 0.9 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Thu, 09 Feb 2017 12:30:50

Updated the unfolding warp drive. Hoping this is the last update before I consider this "production" ready.

Space Opera 0.7 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Sun, 29 Jan 2017 10:14:13

I rebuilt the warp drive from scratch then decided I also wanted a fold-out warp drive so left the old one where it was. The unfolding warp drive will get replaced, but for now it's a place holder. The new drive (and some minor tweaks to words on the old drive) are the only changes from 0.6

Space Opera 0.6 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:57:18

"Completed" the warp drive. I'm still not totally happy with it, I'd prefer some more elaborate something regarding unfolding and the part in general. But it's a completed part of sorts, ignoring that I'm not happy with it. I beefed up the warp factor so it's faster.

Space Opera 0.5 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Sun, 22 Jan 2017 06:11:30

Added more versions of parts that aren't size 4. So, there's now smaller editions of the Eludium tank, Phlebotium tank, as per the existing two sizes of the Handwavium tanks. Also a smaller edition of the Handwavium generator and the P&E Reactor.

The delay though has been deciding on a sane warp bubble to replace RoverDude's warp bubble. There's nothing wrong with RD's bubble, but I felt as it's a space opera/science fantasy type thing, the warp bubble should be different. And after saying all that, there was the rabbit hole of reading about Albucierre Drive warp bubble topographies. So, the warp engine is mildly revised again, and the warp bubble is new. It still requires RD's Alcubierre mod to work.

Techtree. Just recently FirroSeranel reminded me there's this thing called a tech tree. The parts now have tech requirements all at the end of the tree. If you're using Community Tech Tree, then the parts will get requirements set by FirroSeranel's contribution.

Space Opera 0.4 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Sun, 08 Jan 2017 00:35:40

Fixed the bulkhead profiles. Updated meshes and parts in general for the "warp parts". They should now approximate the final shapes. The warp drive is still very sketchy.
Added an engine fairing to the long/interplanetary engine.

Space Opera 0.3 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Fri, 06 Jan 2017 13:48:43

Textures and some remeshing for all non-warp components now completed, including RCS. exhaust FX adjusted for the 3 engines and RCS. Warp system in flux due to crossing of the streams. I've created new parts and new resources to increase the silliness. Starting with DiFranciumMonoAbsurdia crystals, using power you convert those to energized DiFranciumTriAbsurdia crystals. The same warp core can then use those to create QuantumFluxes. QuantumFluxes are passed to the Entangler, which produces NegativeMasses. NegativeMasses can then be used by the FieldGenerator to create PolarityField. And the Warp Drive uses PolarityField. Each stage uses fairly large chunks of electrical charge. But, I just copied the old warp core part model around. I intend to rework the parts, and shrink some so the total size isn't too absurd. At the moment, a full stack of all the listed warp bits is a bit on the large size. And fairly boring, as the part model isn't anywhere near finished.

Space Opera 0.2 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Mon, 02 Jan 2017 12:05:49

Cleaned up and finalized meshes for the planetary and interplanetary engines. Revised RCS, including updating to 1.2 RCSFX modules. Added manufacturer, Imperial Shipyards, with a tacky logo that's subject to change.

Space Opera 0.1.2 for Kerbal Space Program Released

Sat, 31 Dec 2016 06:49:26

Fixed my edit that set max amounts in the warp core to zero instead of just the starting amounts. And tested before uploading. :-)

Fixed a texture that DDS4KSP decided was a normal map. It still thinks it is, but manually changing it fixes the enthusiastic pinkness.
