Release list
Version 1.2.1
- Updated for KSP 1.1.1183
- Broken SIGINT dish no longer able to collect science
Version 1.2
- Added three new parts based on orbital reconnaissance satellites
- All parts have pseudo-biome support; northern and southern hemispheres
- Each part conducts an anomaly scan of the planet; used for anomaly contracts and the anomaly instrument
- Single-Camera small recon satellite
- 1.25m telescope
- Two film canisters
- Two-camera stereo recon satellite
- 2.5m telescope
- Four film canisters
- Radio signals intelligence dish
- 2.5m instrument; expands to 3m in the center
- ~100m diameter radio dish
- Dish cannot be retracted
- Dish will break if open in the atmosphere
- These settings can be altered in the part config file
- Fully re-usable
- New recon contracts
- Contracts ask for a specific recon part and a specific orbit
- Contracts are long-term, using the same system as magnetic survey contracts
- Anomaly contracts are dependent on new recon contracts
- Overhaul of all contracts
- Existing contracts will not load correctly and will not be able to complete
- Use the Contract tab in the Alt+F12 menu to force contracts to complete
- Extensive contract configuration options
- Contract config file found in GameData/DMagicOrbitalScience/Resources/DMContracts.cfg
- Config file based on the stock contract config file
- Existing contracts will not load correctly and will not be able to complete
- Fixes for seismic sensor parts
- Seismic impact hammer no longer makes a minimum distance check
- Impact hammer collider removed; no longer a threat of catapulting your vessel
- Seismic sensor pod crash tolerance increased; decouple strength lowered
- Seismic sensor pod cose, mass and size reduced
- Seismic settings found in GameData/DMagicOrbitalScience/Resources/DMSeismicSettings.cfg
- Fix scaling issues for all parts
- Move RPWS to an earlier node in the tech tree; reduce science value
- New science results text for new parts
- New science results text for OPM planets for all parts
Version 1.1
- Added underwater experiment
- Can only be used while underwater
- Can collect two data sets: in shallow and deep water; the threshold depth is configurable
- Also includes a light
- Added seismic impact hammer experiment
- Multi-part experiment; includes the impact hammer and seismic sensor pods
- Each part can be used individually to gain some science; use in conjunction to increase science
- Use two sensor parts positioned at varying distances and angles from the impact hammer to maximize science
- Sensor pods have a built-in decoupler and are have a very high impact tolerance
- Can be used on asteroids; have at least one sensor pod on the same asteroid to maximize science
- The impact hammer must contact the surface to function; test your designg
- The impact hammer will automatically detect the surface orientation with respect to the hammer and rotate to compensate
- New science results text
- Bug fixes and misc.
- Fix animations when resetting some experiments
- Clarify anomalous signal contract requirements
- Magnetometer only functions as a stock ore scanner
- Some kOS compatibility changes
- Fix stock part and experiment request contract descriptions
Version 1.0.9.1
- Updated for KSP 1.0.5
- Lowered maximum magnetometer ore scanning altitude
- Fixed experiment resource usage during timewarp
- Fixed XRay drill length calculations when used with TweakScale
Version 1.0.8
- Because we all must be coddled from birth to death...
- Fixes a bug when collecting or resetting data from parts that store multiple experiments
Version 1.0.7
Version 1.0.4
- Contract balancing
- Science rewards significantly reduced (70-90%) for all contract types
- Magnetic field surveys have an additional science reward given after completion
- Smaller reduction in funds rewards
- Rep rewards are more consistent and lower
- Science rewards significantly reduced (70-90%) for all contract types
- Contract improvements
- All science collection parameters are now placed under a parent parameter
- Some contracts don't require all of the requested experiments to be carried out
- Parameter notes and titles give a better indication of what is required for each contract
- The sun is only given for the highest difficulty contracts
- Part balancing and adjustments
- Part mass tweaked and made to be more similar
- US part mass lowered
- All parts are now made by DMagic, not DMagic Orbital Science and show up in the manufacturer's editor tab
- US parts given the 'wedge' bulkhead profile
- US tech tree position adjusted when using CTT; most parts are along the construction nodes
- Various resource scanner and other related modules added to some parts (Community Resource Pack required for several of these).
- More Outer Planets Mod science results
- KIS support
- Bug fixes
- Science lab processing works for all results
- Null reference fixed when loading a vessel with an active magnetometer
