Update Valley Forge Part Duex

[tgep]

Yup. You just knew it would happen sooner or later. Now that I'm satisfied with my results, here's a basic vessel version of Jon Marcures old Valley Forge add on.

The original version had problems with uncontrolable rotation when thrust was applied.

Changes:
1) She now carries 10 AgroDomes to support the needs of the Rag Tag Fleet
2) 2 docking points were added ( docks 3 and 4 )specificly for the maintenance pods ( which are included )
3 ) There are 2 other docking points ( 1 and 2 ) for other smaller shuttlecraft.
4) Attachment vectors fixed which eleminates rotational problem.
5) "see through" antenna panels negated.
6) 4 docking points have been added to the AgroDomes to build your own custom Agrocultural station in orbit. Just use the truss of your choice.
7) AgroDomes have weak engines and powerfull RCS thrusters to allow you to land them on low gravity bodies to create you own Agricultural base planetside.
8) Maintenance pods have high RCS thrust as the main means of propulsion.

In time, the old modules may be recompiled to incorperate these changes making an even better ship.

NOTE: The included scenario calls for Jons QJPJ ( PuddleJumper ) and his missiles and bullets. If you do not have these, simply edit the scenario file and remove them. The camera focus starts on the AgroShip.

Get the AgroShip here and let me know how she flys for you.

Hi tgep. Have downloaded this..looks nice! Thanks.

You're welcome.

We wanted to get the AgroShips up and running in the fleet for a while now. I'll admit I was daunted by the number of mesh groups involved at the start but I took the bull by the horns and plunged in.

Be sure to get the Drones done by Gattispilot for extra fun.
:thumbsup:

holy crap, the RCS on those pods is crazy.

Hello Tgep. You might remember me as the banned cadet from your fleet, right? Well sorry about the whole attitude thing. I'm kinda like that. If you can sir, Maybe you can allow me to make another account?If so, thanks. If not, that's ok. Btw, The Valley Forge looks cool. One more thing: http://wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/ o_0' It's a site with a TON of Ship designs from Star Trek, Star Wars, BSG, Etc. Hopefully some of them will come in handy.

Heh heh heh. Yeah, I made the RCS on the pods high on purpose because I wanted to use that as the main means of propulsion for moving around the ship and for shuttling between two diffrent vessels flying in formation. You just tap the key and then kill rotation when your close. They are handy lil hotrods to play around in.

That's not really OF related buisness , so out of respect for Tex, I won't address that here.

Wolfsshipyard is already in our link box.

Download isn't working for some odd reason. :dry:

 

[tgep]

yes, it works fine.

Shiny!!! I put one each in orbit around Europa, Ganymede and Callisto for use in some Jupiter scenarios I got from Clavius0712. As I'd imagine a hydroponics bay inside a Prelude (II) base would be pretty small.
Nice job.
