Deep Space Exploration Vessels
Inspiration
This mod is inspired by several designs including:
Discovery II: http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20050160960
NAUTILUS-X MMSEV (Multi-Mission Space Exploration Vehicle): http://www.scribd.com/doc/51592987/Nautilus-X-Holderman-1-26-11
Deep Space Habitat: http://spacefellowship.com/news/art29280/constructing-next-generation-space-habitat-demonstrators.html
The Mars One Crew Manual by Kerry Mark Joels: http://www.amazon.com/The-Mars-One-Crew-Manual/dp/0345318811
Additionally, the mod was inspired by Project Daedalus (http://www.bis-space.com/what-we-do/projects/project-daedalus).
Special thanks for Nyrath for sharing all that fantastic information on his Atomic Rockets website (http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/).
---INSTALLATION---
Copy the WildBlueIndustries directory into your GameData folder.
---REVISION HISTORY---
3.3
- Added D2 Hab Ring: This is a variant of the Nautilus Centrifuge that has a Size 3 hub. It cannot retract its ring, and it sports 4 Omni Converters instead of the Pathfinder template system, but it's otherwise identical to the Nautilus Centrifuge.
- Added D2 Conference Room: This is a half-height version of the D2 Briefing Room's upper floor.
3.2
- Added new texture variants to the Nautilus Centrifuge.
- Added new texture variants to the 2.5m station parts.
NOTE: The Nautilus Centrifuge and the S2 Cargo Bay parts have to use the stock texture switcher, while the rest can use the Wild Blue texture switchers as before. It's a bit of a kludge, but it works and no parts had to be retired.
- Removed BARIS configs from the 2.5m station parts.
3.14

3.0.0.1 The Final Odyssey
The last major release to Deep Space Exploration Vessels completes the original vision for the mod by introducing new parts to make the Nautilus, a kerbalized version of NASA's NAUTILUS-X along with new cargo bays, a revised hex truss system, a new 2.5m cryopod, non-cylindrical fuel tanks, a new radiator, and a powerful new fusion engine. At this point, future updates to DSEV will focus on bug fixes and minor tweaks.
I'm happy to say that DSEV is now feature complete!
New parts
- D2 Cargo Bay (Advanced Metalworks): Styled like the D2 crewed parts, the cargo bay is a nice Size 3 alternative to the stock Mk3 cargo bay. It comes in 3 lengths.
- Hex Hangar (Composites): This large hangar can snugly fit Size 3 parts. It comes in 3 lengths.
- Hangar Adapter (Composites): Use this adapter to attach the Hex Hangar to Size 3, Size 2, or Size 1 parts.
- Automated Construction Hangar (Composites): This specialized hangar lets you make individual parts without the need for kerbals- albiet slowly- if you have OSE Workshop installed.
- Nautilus Airlock (Composites): This radially attached hexagonal airlock seats 2 and has an extendable porch for conveniently attaching EVA items.
- S-2 Nautilus O.C.P. (Composites): This radially attached orbital command pod provides guidance for your vessels and good views. It even has a small built-in greenhouse!
- Nautilus Centrifuge (Composites): The Nautilus Centrifuge is a spinning habitat ring that living quarters for up to 16 kerbals. With Pathfinder installed, the centrifuge slowly generates data for use in labs, and provides production bonuses to the vessel's Pathfinder templates. The Jukebox actually works! Sadly, licensing doesn't let me distribute songs from Saturday Night Fever (not even MIDI versions). But you can place custom music under 000WildBlueTools/Music. Just look around for a free converter that can make .ogg files (Audacity comes to mind) and you're good to go!
- Nautilus Tank Cluster (Composites): This cluster of fuel tanks has built-in radiators as well as built-in adapters for Size 3 and Size 2 parts. it also has engine mounts for up to 7 Size 7 engines.
- Daedalus Storage Tank (Large Volume Containment): This 10-meter spherical fuel tank holds a variety of resources. A *lot* of resources.
- Meat Locker CryoShelter (Station Modules): Essentially a smaller version of the D2 Cryo Shelter, the Meat Locker is the size of a Hitchhiker and can hold 4 kerbals in cold storage.
- D2HT-2 Adapter (Advanced Metalworks): This is a longer version of the D2 to Hex truss adapter.
- D2 Quarter Truss (Advanced Metalworks): This part is the D2 equivalent of the Quarter Hex Truss.
- D2 Hex Node (Advanced metalworks): This part is the D2 equivalent to the Hex Node.
- Multi Truss: What this truss lacks in amenities it makes up for in its multi-length options. There's also a D2 equivalent.
- WB-9 "Hypernova" Fusion Torch (Torch Drives): This advanced fusion engine has two modes; a high thrust, high specific impulse, high heat "Torch Mode" and a lower thrust and insane ISP "Cruise Mode." If you activate Cruise Control, you can perform engine burns during timewarp. And yes, the transmitter functionality is intended; Project Daedalus's second stage motor doubled as an antenna...
- Avatar Radiator (Large Electrics): This non-rotating radiator is cheaper and lighter than the Graphene Radiator.
- Storage Shield (Nanolathing): This massive heat shield is 22.5m in diameter when fully assembled, and can hold an enormous amount of resources. It has a hollow center for attaching other parts like engines (You'll need to toggle the built-in cap first). Once assembled, it cannot be disassembled.
- Storage Shield Cap (Nanolathing): This specialized part caps the hole in the Storage Shield when you remove its built-in shield cap. It has the ability to open and close to expose parts stored inside the hollow section of the Storage Shield.
New Contract
- Touring: This contract requires you to send 1 or more tourists to a specific vessel and return them home safely after a few days stay.
Cruise Control
This is a new feature added to all DSEV engines. Cruise Control lets you perform engine burns during timewarp. There are some caveats which will be explained below. To use Cruise Control, right-click on the part to set the desire cruise throttle level and fuel reserve percent, then click the Cruise Control button. Symmetry parts will automatically be updated.
---Controls---
Cruise Control Button: On/Off, this button enables/disables cruise control. If enabled, then the engine will perform a burn when you timewarp.
Cruise Throttle: Controls the throttle level during cruise control. The throttle affects how much propellant to expend and thus your delta-v during timewarp.
Fuel Reserve: During timewarp you can expend fuel pretty quickly. This slider prevents you from using up all your fuel. When your fuel supply drops below the setting, you'll drop out of cruise control and timewarp.
---Caveats---
The game's heat mechanics don't work in timewarp.
You cannot change the context menu controls during timewarp.
You cannot change the ship's course during timewarp.
Bug Fixes & Enhancements
- The D2 Habitat, Lab, Office, CryoShelter, and Greenhouse now have an optional MMOD shield that you can toggle. It is conveniently the same dimensions and shape as the small Hex Hangar.
- Revised the Hex Truss parts to improve rendering performance.
- Revised the K2 frames to improve rendering performance.
- The D2 hex truss crew tubes are now the same size as the regular hex trusses.

Old Name -> New Name
WBI.HexTrussHalf -> wbiHalfHexTruss
WBI.HexTrussQuarter -> wbiQuarterHexTruss
WBI.HexTruss2 -> wbiHexTruss
WBI.HexTrussDouble -> wbiDoubleHexTruss

2.5 Odyssey Three
Odyssey Three delivers new parts to make the Estonian, a craft inspired by the iconic Mars Excursion Module (MEM). It is not a replica; there's no lab module or spindly ascent stage. Instead, the Estonian is built to be modular and configurable. With a full fuel load, the baseline craft can SSTO to and from Duna orbit. With Pathfinder installed, it can hold a small base, then drop the lander portion and launch into orbit. You can even integrate Duna tanks into its design for extra resource or payload capacity.
Additionally, this release adds some new station parts and a new engine- the Trinity Tri-Modal Engine.
New parts

- Structural Spacer (Station Modules): Just as it sounds, the structural spacer puts space between your parts. It also generates some torque.
- SPF-50 Solar Aray: This is a single-axis radially/stack-mounted solar array taken straight from the Solar Hex Truss.
- Hex Hangar (Composites): This large hangar can snugly fit Size 3 parts. It comes in 3 sizes.
- Kerbodyne DMB0 "Trinity" Tri-Modal Engine (Advanced Nuclear Engines): In addition to generating ElectricCharge with its built-in nuclear reactor, the Trinity is a Size 2 engine that can switch between LiquidFuel/Oxidizer and Explodium (a.k.a. nuclear salt water). The Explodium Sea is aptly named...
NOTE: The Trinity uses NuclearSaltWater when Far Future Technologies is installed.
Bug Fixes & Enhancements

Reference Designs
- Hyperion T.A.V. now uses stock shuttle wings.
- Added Delta Heavy reference design. It can lift 36 metric tons into orbit with delta-v to spare. Be sure to re-root the craft to your payload.
2.2.5
- BARIS is now an optional download as originally intended- just took awhile for me to figure out how to make that work. DO NOT DELETE the 000ABARISBridgeDoNotDelete FOLDER! That plugin is the bridge between this mod and BARIS.
- Fixed some issues with Cryo Engines support.
- D2 Greenhouse should work properly for TAC-LS and Snacks.
- Added KIS storage option to the Size 2 and Size 3 fuel tanks.
- Transfered Quad Engine Coupler from MOLE to DSEV; retexturing not done yet.
- Added Hyperion T.A.V. to ReferenceDesigns.
2.2 BARIS
This release introduces BARIS, a new game mechanic that replaces the stock heat mechanic on the mod's converters. You can think of BARIS (the name is a nod to Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space) as a highly customizable Dangit-lite. Don't want your drills or converters to break? Don't want the hassle of parts wearing out? Do you prefer not to send Equipment up to repair your parts, or to requrire specific skills to repair them? No problem! All that and more are options. As always, It's Your Game, Your Choice.
BARIS IS OFF BY DEFAULT! You'll have to opt-in via the Settings->Difficulty->BARIS tab.
With BARIS, your parts now have wear and tear, which is indicated by the part's Quality rating. They're unlikely to break during their normal design life, but they can start to break down after you exceed their design life. If you perform maintenance on them, you can reduce the chance that they'll break. A broken drill or base part won't function, which can be either annoying or life threatening depending upon the mods you have installed. Once you fix the part, it will continue to function, but its design life will be reduced- unless you disable that option.
New Parts
- LSC-30 Air Intake: This is a resized 2.5m version of the stock Shock Cone.
- RBCC-4 "Scimitar" Engine: This is a resized 2.5m version of the stock R.A.P.I.E.R.

Version 2.0.0.1: Realizing A Space Odyssey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETveS23djXM
At long last, this release provides all of the "kerbalized" parts needed to create the Discovery II from NASA's Realizing "2001: A Space Odyssey": Piloted Spherical Torus Nuclear Fusion Propulsion! http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20050160960 Now you can fly a mission to Jool like NASA's mission to Jupiter using the reference designs provided, or build your own Deep Space Exploration Vessels.
New Parts
- D2 "Clydesdale" Orbital Command Pod: Designed for in-space operations, the D2 OCP seats 9, but requires a crew of 2 to operate. Part upgrades will give it advanced probe core functionality, eliminating the need for a flight crew. It has integrated support for kOS and Kerbal Engineer. Want a custom name to show up on the pod? You can! Using the stock flag selection window, you can select a "flag" to use as the name tag. You have one name tag on the nose, and another on the sides, and you can show/hide the tags as desired. These name tags are independent of the pod's mission flag and of each other, so you can have a flag, a tag with the name of the ship, and a tag with the ship's registry number, for example. It has both stock and ASET IVAs.
NOTE: For ASET support, download ASET Props 1.4: https://spacedock.info/mod/1204/ASET%20Props
TIP: Here is a tutorial for creating custom flags: (http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Tutorial:Create_custom_flags!)
- D2-I "Danube Delta" Orbital Command Pod: This is an inline version of the Clydesdale, except that both ends of the command pod are 3.75m in diameter as opposed to the Clyde's 1.25m tapered nose. It has both stock and ASET IVAs. Thanks for the suggestion, Kuzzter! :)
- D2 Centrifuge: It holds 12 kerbals, and has life support for mods like Snacks, TAC-LS, and USI-LS. It has a number of configurations to choose from. With Pathfinder installed, it can use Pathfinder's Habitation and Science templates normally found in the Casa and Doc Science Lab, respectively. A unique feature lets the centrifuge fold up to provide artificial gravity while the vessel is under thrust.
Known Limitation: While the IVA rotates along with the external model, it doesn't follow the external model's arms when folded up. This feature is still being worked on.
NOTE: You do NOT need Infernal Robotics to rotate the centrifuge.
- D2 Habitat Module: This 3.75m part provides additional habitation space for up to 4 crew (with life support for Snacks, TAC-LS, and USI-LS). With Pathfinder installed, it can use Pathfinder's Habitation templates at 50% efficiency.
- D2 Science Module: This 3.75m part has space for 4 crew and a few configurations. With Pathfinder installed, it can use Pathfinder's Science templates at 50% efficiency.
- D2 Greenhouse Module: This 3.75m advanced greenhouse has space for 4 and produces food for up to 12 crew.
- D2 Cryo Shelter: This is 3.75m cylindrical bay seats 12. With DeepFreeze installed, your kerbals can be frozen for your long-duration trips. Thanks for showing me how to create cryopods, JPLRepo! :)
- D2 Instrument Unit: It has a probe core equal to the stock RC-L01 Remote Guidance Unit, reaction wheels, and both 3.75m and Mk3 body style options.
- D2 Truss: These are super-sized versions of the Hex Truss, Half Hex Truss, and Double Hex Truss. They're designed for 3.75m parts and can fit 2.5m parts inside if needed.
TIP: Auto-strut is your friend.
- K2 Saddle Truss: Inspired by NASA's Copernicus, these 3.75m diameter trusses come in short, medium, and long sizes. They are open on one end, making them great for creating frames that transport and drop off cargo.
- K2 Landing Frame: An inline engine mount for the K2 saddle truss, with space for parachutes and such. Your engines won't stick out of the areo shell. It can be configured as an Engine Frame or Landing Leg Frame, the latter of which can hold a pair of stock LT-2 landing legs attached to K2 Cargo Boxes.
- K2 Cargo Box: Fitted to the landing frame in place of engines, the cargo box makes a great attachment point for landing legs. It holds a variety of different resources.
- K2 Storage Wedge: Fitted to a saddle truss, the Storage Wedge holds a variety of resources. It also has attachment points for engines, cargo boxes, and the like.
- K2 Saddle Tank: Designed to fit inside the saddle truss, this tank gives you extra resources for your trip. Use the K2 Mini Decoupler to get rid of it.
- K2 Mini Decoupler: Attached to the inner nodes of a saddle truss, this decoupler gives you a way to dispose of your saddle tanks.
- D2 Adapter: This adapter can be switched from 3.75m diameter to Mk3, 2.5m, 1.25m, and D2 Truss form factors.
- Hex Truss - D2 Truss Adapter: Use this as a bridge between the D2 Truss Segments and the Hex Truss system.
- AE-35 Communications Array: This is a combined RA-100 communications relay, M-700 resource scanner, and M4435 Narrow-Band Scanner. With SCANSat installed, the AE-35 can scan planets and moons as well.
- Mobile Emitter: This is a fun part/modlet that requires Kerbal Inventory System. It lets you simulate a hologram in the form of a kerbal (actually, a kerbal carries the part), and lets you change the skill trait of the kerbal while out in the field. With Snacks installed, the "hologram" kerbal won't require Snacks or suffer from starvation effects. The Mobile Emitter modlet is also available separately!
Reference Designs (found in DSEV/ReferenceDesigns)
These design reference mission craft files are provided so that you can perform your own Discovery II missions based upon NASA's research paper. Joolian refueling infrastructure not included. Craft files include:
- Discovery II-Assembled: The complete reference design. You could cheat the craft into LKO if desired, it's ready to go. It has a small amount of LiquidFuel/Oxidizer and Monopropellant to top off the lander.
- Discovery II Lander: It can reach all the moons of Jool if flown carefully.
- Discovery II Fuel Tank: Just like in the NASA mission, this tank flies down to a Joolian moon to refuel before returning to the ship.
- Discovery II Command Section: Discovery II's command pod and centrifuge, in launch-ready configuration.
- Discovery II Upper Truss: The ship's upper truss, in launch-ready configuration.
- Discovery II Lower Truss: The ship's lower truss, complete with fusion reactor, FusionPellet storage, and LFO mission tank, in launch-ready configuration.
- Discovery II Engine Section: The ship's "Supernova" spherical torus fusion engine, central LH2 tank, and docking assemblies, in launch-ready configuration.
Bug Fixes & Enhancements

Supernova
- Any class with the RepairSkill can now upgrade the Supernova.
Docking ports
- To fix a long standing problem with wobbly spacecraft, you can now weld HexPorts and 3.75m docking rings together. Your docked vessels become one craft. Combine with autostrut to make a solid craft. Once welded together, you can no longer undock the ports.
The Wild Blue tab under the Game Difficulty screen has the following options for docking port welding:
* Require an EVA to weld the ports (default: true): If false, you can weld the ports without requiring an EVA.
* Require the repair skill to weld ports (default: true): if false, anybody can perform the weld.
* Keep docking ports after the weld (default: false): If false, then after welding, the docking ports vanish and the parts are moved together to close the gap. If true, then the docking ports remain in place but will become unusable.
Thanks for showing me how its done, Shadowmage! :)
1.2.4
- Updated to latest WBT.
1.2.3

1.2.1
- If fuel tanks are arrayed symmetrically, you'll no longer be able to reconfigure them. It's either that or let the game explode (ie nothing I can do about it except prevent players from changing symmetrical tanks).
1.2.0
- Fixed an issue where the Hex Trusses weren't providing the hollow truss configuration.
- Fixed an issue where the Hex Trusses weren't allowing you to reconfigure the fuel tanks in their fuel tank configuration.

1.1.0 Refits
This release kicks off the DSEV overhaul project. It's intended to alleviate the performance issues found in previous versions of the mod and to update the artwork. Expect to see remodeling of the fuel tanks once I know how the new stock fuel tanks will look in KSP 1.2.
In this release in particular, you'll find an improved hex truss system, 2.5m fuel tanks separated from 3.75m tanks, and 1.25m tanks separated from the 1.875m tanks. The 1.875m tanks have been retired. If you want 1.875m tanks in the future, try the newer Titan line from Mark One Laboratory Extensions.
There's also a bonus in the form of an old engine brought back to life.
KSP 1.1
- Recompiled for KSP 1.1 pre-release
New Parts
- Re-introduced the nuclear aerospike as the WS-N7 "Viper" dual-mode nuclear aerospike. This advanced nuclear engine supports liquid fuel mode for good ISP and LFO mode for high thrust, and its aerospike gives it good ISP across a variety of atmospheric pressures.
- Added FLM-6400, FLM-3200, and FLM-1600 fuel tanks. These 2.5m tanks come in gold foil and stock-alike orange.
- Added FLM-400 and FLM-200 fuel tanks. These are 1.25m tanks.
Hex Truss System
- The Hex truss sytem has undergone remodeling, giving them an art style similar to the Buffalo's chassis system. You can now switch between a hollow truss with a variable number of equipment racks (same as before, just new models), a fuel tank that holds various resources, and a crew tunnel. There are four hex truss options available: double, full, half, and quarter.
- The Hex Node and Hex Adapter have also been remodeled.
NOTE: The older hex truss system models have been deprecated. Existing ships won't break, but you won't be able to build new ones with the older parts.
FLM-14400, 7200, 3600
- Due to issues with colliders, the 3.75m tanks have been refactored to remove their 2.5m counterparts. You can still switch between the stock-alike orange texture and the gold foil texture. Older tanks have been deprecated. Existing ships won't break, but you won't be able to build new ones with the older tanks.
FLM-450, FLM-900, FLM-1800
- Deprecated the 1.875m fuel tanks. Existing ships won't break, but you won't be able to build new ones with the older tanks.
1.0.6
- The Supernova will now properly allow you to upgrade the engine. You don't need Science when in Sandbox mode, but in all game modes, you do need a 5-star engineer.
- Adjusted the parts cost to upgrade the engine.
1.0.5
Bug Fixes
- The Supernova now recognizes that off means off.
Other
- Updated to KSP 1.0.5
1.0.4
- Fixed an issue where the Hex Adapter could be changed in flight.
- The Supernova can now be upgraded from inside the ship as well as while on EVA.
1.0 Second star on the right, and straight on until morning
- Fixed an issue with the hex adapter that let you change the size and style outside of the VAB/SPH.
- The 3.75m docking ring now properly responds to the Control From Here command.
1.0 RC3
- Added 2.5m-to-hextruss adapter, that can be toggled to a 3.75m-to-hextruss adapter.
- Fixed z-fighting issues with the part thumbnails in the editor.
- Fixed gaps in the fuel tank attachment nodes.
1.0 RC2
NOTE: Be sure to delete your old WildBlueIndustries' folder as files have moved around.
- Removed Cooldown heat management in favor of stock ModuleActiveRadiator. Since stock's heat management is ship-wide like Cooldown's system, you won't notice much of a difference. Radiators will still glow and you can still dump coolant. :)
- Retuned Supernova heat production for new stock heat mangement. It takes a dozen of the Graphene radiators to properly cool, just as before.
- Removed ModuleTargetTemp from the FLM fuel tanks. Stock parts now have the built-in radiatorMax, which is basically the same thing.
- Refactored folder structure for better CKAN support.
- Converted all storage decals to dds.
1.0 RC1: One Giant Leap
- Added ability to adjust the volume for the heat radiator coolant dump sound effect to the DSEV debug menu.
- Added persistence to the volume controls.
- Added the MM_DisableCooldown ModuleManager patch. To use it, rename MM_DisableCooldown.txt to MM_DisableCooldown.cfg.
NOTE: Your radiators will no longer glow if you install this patch, but they will extend/retract.
- Added the MM_HeatControl ModuleManager patch. To use it, rename MM_HeatControl.txt to MM_HeatControl.cfg.
NOTE: This will replace DSEV's Cooldown with Nertea's HeatControl, and requires HeatControl as a separate download.
- The Supernova's temperature readout will not be shown if MM_HeatControl or MM_DisableCooldown are installed.
How to use the Module Manager patches
DSEV comes with several Module Manager patches to alter the mod s configuration to suit your play style. Several of them are applied automatically, while others are optional. You can find the patches in the DSEV root directory; they all start with MM_.
MM_CTT.cfg: This patch is used to integrate DSEV with the Community Tech Tree. It runs automatically if you have Community Tech Tree installed.
MM_HideHexTrusses.txt: This patch will hide the hex trusses, typically used if you install a similar system such as Nertea s Near Future Construction. Simply rename the file from .txt to .cfg to enable it.
MM_LiquidFuel.txt: This patch switches the Supernova and ArcJet engine and RCS thrusters over to use LiquidFuel instead of LqdHydrogen. Simply rename the file from .txt to .cfg to enable it.
MM_Resources.cfg: This patch adds resource distributions to various planets in the game. It is applied automatically.
MM_TechTree.cfg: This patch adds the Experimental Fusion tech node to the technology tree. It is applied automatically if you don t have Community Tech Tree installed.
MM_HeatControl.txt: This patch reconfigures the heat radiators so that they use Nertea s HeatControl instead of using the Cooldown plugin installed with DSEV. Simply rename the file from .txt to .cfg to enable it.
MM_DisableCooldown.txt: An alternate patch, this will disable heat management altogether, and rely upon the game s built-in mechanics to distribute the heat. If you use this patch, your radiators will no longer glow. Simply rename the file from .txt to .cfg to enable it. Do not use this patch if you are using MM_HeatControl.

0.3.25: Gold Standard
3.75m Service Bay
- The service bay now comes in two variants: Open Service Bay, and Service Compartment. The open-end variant has no doors that open, while the closed variant does.
Storage Tanks
- FLM-1440, 7200, and 3600 now all have an alternate gold foil look for both 3.75m and 2.5m sizes.
- Adjusted pricing on the FLM-1800 and FLM-900.
- You can now resize the FLM-1800 between 1.875m and 1.25m.
- You can now resize the FLM-900 between 1.875m, 1.25m, and 0.625m.

NOTE: FLM-7200 and FLM-3600 will get gold foil textures too, this is a work in progress.
- Added the 3.75m service bay. It has two modes of operation: open end-cap (default), and closed end cap. When closed, you can toggle the service bay doors.
0.3.23: Warp Speed
- Minor bug fixes to the resource switcher.
- The FLM-100 now has the correct resources. Thanks for the investigation rabidningawombat! :)
- Refactored templates so that they can be shared across Wild Blue Industry mods.
0.3.22: The Final Frontier
Templates
- Added the MonoPropellant template.
Supernova
- Individual engines now require RocketParts and Science to unlock Pulsed Plasma Mode. This can only be done in flight by an Engineer on EVA, but you can temporarily switch modes in the VAB/SPH to properly design your vessel.
- Retuned ISP for Pulsed Plasma Mode.
Fusion Reactors
- Replaced WB-2 particle effects with specular map to improve game performance.
- Added WB-1 Mandarin 1.25m fusion reactor.
- Added WB-MF Micro Fusion Reactor. It is a 0.625m fusion reactor.

- Cleaned up the Action Group items for the Supernova.
NOTE: You might need to redo your action groups.
Other
- Discovery II reference design added to the DSEV/ReferenceDesigns folder. This is a .craft file that you can use in your own saves. Simply copy the .craft file to the KerbalSpaceProgram/Ships/VAB folder.
0.3.20: Bug Stomping
Textures
- Converted all textures to dds format.
ISP Enhancements
- Buffed Supernova ISP to 35,000 sec.
- Buffed ArcJet RCS thrusters to 5,000 sec.
- Buffed "Ace" ArcJet engine to 5,000 sec.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Liquid Hydrogen is not particularly dense so you need a lot of it to get deltaV comparable to stock LiquidFuel. Plan your vessels accordingly. The game changes that affected the way how engines compute fuel use, combined with the CRP's move from 5L units to 1L units, has resulted in major tweaks needed for ISP. Remember, you can always use the MM_LiquidFuel patch to convert the ArcJect RCS thrusters, ArcJet engine, and Supernova to use LiquidFuel.
ISRU
- The Compact ISRU now produces: LH2, Monoprop, LiquidFuel, Oxidizer, LFO, Coolant, and FusionPellets.
- The Compact ISRU now costs more.
Fuel Tanks
- Multipurpose Storage Tanks will supply their resources if radially attached to other tanks, courtesy of CrossFeedEnabler.
WB-2 Fusion Reactor
- The reactor may now be started through staging.
- If the reactor doesn't have enough ElectricCharge to start then it is now smart enough to not drain the ship's electricity.
Supernova
- Added normal map.
- Added animated heat.
Masscon
- Removed Masscon resource in favor of an editor window that lets you enter the part's desired mass.
- The masscon part is slightly larger than before.
Resources
- Removed Masscon resource as it's no longer needed.
Docking Ports
- When you select a HexPort on the target vessel and Set As Target, it will light up automatically, turning off other lit HexPorts.
- HexPort now provides fuel cross-feeding, courtesy of CrossFeedEnabler. No more fuel line trickery needed! :)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the orange Multipurpose Storage Tanks would not remember what size they were.
- Fixed an issue where tank decals refused to hide themselves as directed.
- Fixed an issue where radiators would explode during high timewarp.
- Fixed an issue where the Supernova wasn't showing all of its engine flame effects.
0.3.19: Hotfix
- The Supernova now properly shows its engine flame.
- The Ace ArcJet is now the little engine that can (it works now).

- You can now specify a default target temperature for the entire vessel as well as for individual parts.
See the config file for the WB-2 fusion reactor for an example.
- Radiators now support multiple coolant resources.
- Radiators now support coolant loss while under accelleration.
- Radiators now require ElectricCharge to keep running.
- Tuned the Supernova and WB-2 thermal outputs. Better have at least a dozen large radiators if you have the fusion engine aboard...
NOTE: KSP may crash if you have the built-in thermal warning running when the radiators reach maximum. It appears to be game related.
I suggest you turn off the temperature warning using F10.
Career

- Removed liquid hydrogen and fusion pellet generation from stock ISRU.
Multipurpose Storage Tanks
- Added Water, Minerals, and Ore storage templates.
Other
- Added Masscon Ballast Module.
- Added Masscon resource. It literally weighs a ton! (1 ton per unit)
0.3.17: Active Radiators! (and Moar Tanks)
IMPORTANT NOTES
- This update will break your saves. Please retire any vessels in flight.
- Please redo action groups for your VAB/SPH vehicle's radiator panels as these will have changed since last update.
- The Centrifuge ring and countertorque ring use the latest InfernalRobotics mod; please set up your action groups accordingly.
- Heat management is a work in progress. The radiators DO work and keep your craft cool! :) But more tuning is needed. Right now
the Fusion Reactor and Supernova engine heat production is dialed back until I find the right balance.
Thank you Red Iron Crown and NathanKell for your valuable information on the new heat mechanics! :)
Gameplay
- Recompiled for KSP 1.0
- Added new part category for DSEV.
Fuel Tanks
- Removed the old fusion pellet tanks.
- Added the FLM-900 Multipurpose Storage Tank. It's a half-sized version of the FLM-1800 designed to fit the half-hex truss.
- Added the FLM-14400, FLM-7200, and FLM-3600 Multipurpose Storage Tanks. These massive orange tanks are able to hold different resources, and you can toggle their diameters from 3.75m to 2.5m.
- The resource storage templates are now based upon 1L units, in-line with the revisions to Community Resource Pack. Now you can hold more stuff!
- Added the Coolant storage template.
ISRU
- Added liquid hydrogen creation to the stock ISRU.
- Added FusionPellets creation to the stock ISRU.
Power & Heat management
- The Fusion Reactor now uses the stock resource generator.
- The radiators now provide active and passive heat radiation. You can also vent coolant (open-cycle cooling mode) to shed heat more rapidly.
- Radiators now start to glow red based upon temperature more accurately.
NOTE: More heat management is on the way.
Bug Fixes & Enhancements
- Fixed an issue where the fusion reactor and Supernova engine would not remember that they were activated.
- Fixed an issue with the ArcJet RCS thrusters not shutting off via action groups.
- Fixed an issue with the ArcJet RCS thrusters still showing stock thrust effects.
- ArcJet and Supernova now use liquid hydrogen by default (previously it was liquid fuel, with a liquid hydrogen switch if Near Future Propulsion was installed). Rename MM_LiquidFuel.txt to MM_LiquidFuel.cfg if you want them to use LiquidFuel instead.
- Removed SpinHub plugin in favor of latest Infernal Robotics 0.20c.
0.3.16: Maddening Heat Part 1
- Temporarily disabled heat management while I'm redesigning the heat management system. It will be back for 1.0
0.3.15: Moar Thrusters
- Improved engine thrust on the Supernova. Hydrogen mode thrust has been increased to 900, up from 600. Pulsed Plasma mode is now 650, up from 150.
- Supernova now consumes fewer FusionPellets when idling.
- WB-2 reactor will start idling when its EC resource is full. When idling, it consumes fewer pellets.
- The WB-2 reactor shows how much EC it produces when running.
- Added the RT-5 ArcJet RCS Thruster. It offers RCS thrust in 5 directions for more epicness.
- Reduced the thrust power on the ArcJet RCS thrusters to 1.2kn (half what it was before and more in line with stock RCS).
- ArcJets require 150 EC/sec.
- The ArcJet RCS thrusters can be started, stopped, and toggled through Action Groups.
- Added the WBR-12M Radiator, a small radiator for the fusion reactor. It needs more artwork but it is functional.
- Radiators now measure in terms of Celsius (C) instead of speed of light (c). It's still better than negative Kelvin... ;)
0.3.14: Tanks For The Memories 0.90
- Added the FLM-100 radial storage tank. It slipped into the last update, so it's now officially ready for use.
- Deprecated the WB-120 radial fusion pellet tank.
- Removed the SpareParts storage template. Fixing DSEV vessels will require RocketParts (which, if you have Extraplanetary Launchpads, can be used to build rockets).
- Fixed an issue where the ArcJet RCS would still act like it is firing even when disabled.
- Fixed an issue where the HexPort allowed you to toggle the vestibule while in flight.
- Fixed an issue where the double hex truss allowed you to toggle the center vestibule while in flight.
0.3.13: Broken Wings (https://youtu.be/nKhN1t_7PEY)
- Truncated the Large Graphene Radiator to 3 segments instead of 5.
NOTE: With the smaller radiator size, you'll need 14 radiators instead of 10 to cool the Supernova at full thrust. Be sure to build new ships accordingly.
0.3.12: Like A Record Baby
Hex Trusses
- Added a configurable Hex Node. You can toggle the side attachment nodes and switch between open frame (default), bracing, and pressurized crew tubes.
