The Adamist(?) ships are great. I love the huge orbital battle in the 1st book. I would love to see the combat wasps in orbiter, but to do them justice would require a hell of an autopilot. Think of them as a :probe: with a nuke pumped gamma ray laser :) Ah crap completely got the series wrong...

Awesome, thanks for the update

I've found the site I got the idea of a swimming pool from: Space Future. It's quite dated and about twice the size you could fit in an XR5, giving 0.1g at the bottom

Why do you need 1 g? Just need enough to stick the water to the walls so that you can jump to the centre and be in the air

Another reason I wanted the cabins to have a lot of airspace, with the flat-ish beds and the planned padded walls.:love: I don't think a bubble would be a good idea, think of everyone at the other windows please! :embarrassed: Also Some quick calculations show about 12 economy class seats or 6...

Yeah I was thinking this could also be a static hotel/resort Yeah I was going to put some strap detail on there, but on the texture not the mesh as it would have to be repeated 20 times Yeah, my baseline was a lunar trip with a view, so I didn't want airline style seating (can you imagine 3...

Hope it fares better than Thunderbird's Solar probe http://www.bookmice.net/darkchilde/thunder/ep4.html

Here's a little update on the modelling front, I've been doing the crew habitat and warehouse for the colony base which are now pretty much finished! The habitat will be able to house ~30 people and the warehouse ~50 UCGO cargoes. Both of these have airlocks - a crew one on the hab and a UCGO...

I started thinking about this a few weeks ago, though I thought just leave it in the bay and don't bother docking it to the ship. I was going for a cruise liner approach, so cabins rather than airline seats (except for takeoff). Code-wise without making a specific dll I was thinking of a UCGO...

What if you put a honking great electromagnet on the ship? (or charged the ship - Is the sun as a whole charged?) This might be able to levitate it for braking and/or deflect the plasma so that the only heating would be radiative. If this is a huge ship, you could bring a neutrino detector...

Well Dan's Inflatable Space Rescue Unit for UCGO can be docked but it's not the best long term habitat :lol: It's not UCGO but I did make a couple of DGIV/XR2 payload space station modules a while back (They're pretty bad with lighting on the wrong side etc.:facepalm:)...

Working for me now too - Thanks!:thankyou:
