NOTE: You do not need these mods for this pack to function, but without them your game-play experience will be greatly reduced. Super-efficient engines allow SSTO capability Multiple docking ports for visiting vehiclesĬarries cargo modules from the Endurance to the surface for base building Giant ring outfitted with Habitat, Logistics and Engine modulesĬapable of transporting 2 Landers and 2 Rangers across the solar system The base building modules include a science lab, an inflatable habitat module, a unique science experiment and a cargo container. The pack comes with a large, KIS placeable flag and mini KIS storage containers styled after those in the movie. If you have Kerbal Attachment System, use it to store base-building equipment inside the cargo module. This is already set up in the stock craft file.Ġ.4.0 UPDATE: Now you can build bases using the parts provided, which slot into the recesses in the back of the main Endurance modules. To make this work you must go into Action Groups and assign 'Toggle Landing Gear' to the Gear command, and make sure the legs are set to start deployed. This works well but has the drawback that by default the legs will not deploy on pressing G. IMPORTANT: In order to have all the landing gear in one part I have had to use ModuleAnimateGeneric instead of ModuleLandingGear. Both the Ranger and Lander act as SSTOs and feature detailed, Raster Prop Monitor integrated IVAs.Ġ.5.0 UPDATE: Ranger is much smaller part count wise now! Construct the ring in the VAB (or load up our stock craft file) and launch it to LKO, before docking advanced Ranger and Lander vehicles to it. This mod is intended to recreate, visually and functionally, the Endurance spacecraft from the movie 'Interstellar.' It implements parts to construct the Endurance ring, with highly efficient magnetoplasma engines and a modular design that allows for multiple configurations of the ship to your mission requirements. REQUIRES KERBAL INVENTORY SYSTEM AND RASTER PROP MONITOR! We must confront the reality of interstellar travel. We must think not as individuals, but as a species. We must reach far beyond our own lifespans. I can't remember exactly how many people downloaded the mod but I remember it being a mind-bogglingly huge number, so thanks to everyone, it was great fun to get involved in modding and I'm sure I'll be sticking around and doing some other (smaller, less complex) projects in the future! Was brilliant to have so much support! Special thanks go to xxhansonmaxx, zekew11, Shryq, InsanePlumber, Jasseji and akron without whom getting this far would likely not have been possible. Huge thanks to everyone involved in the project or who has commented or downloaded or just generally been around. I can't remember what is and isn't in there, but there are a few blender files and textures and stuff like that, so feel free to download them and do what you want with them (so long as you give credit). If anyone would like to continue the development of the mod from what files I do have, there is a google drive repository which had several things put up on it every now and then. In addition to this, I no longer have many of the files I used when creating the mod due to them being scattered on several computers which I no longer have access to. mods which can pretty much only be used to build one specific spacecraft) as I feel it limits the broad scope of creativity which KSP is all about. I'm also increasingly becoming against 'kit' part mods (i.e. I'm currently under a fairly large amount of pressure due to university work and it probably won't abate much any time soon, so for the foreseeable future I'll be stepping back from this mod. I'm also somewhat losing interest because, by its very nature, Endurance was a kind of 'cheat-mod,' in that once you got the ship into orbit, there was almost no challenge in getting anywhere, and I feel this somewhat goes against the spirit of the game. I will not be reposting the mod as it currently stands since it is, in effect, defunct very few of the parts work as intended in the newest version of KSP and I see little reason to continue distributing a broken product. Having pretty much just found out about the closure of KerbalStuff (where the download of this mod was previously hosted), I feel I should let you guys know what I intend to do & the future of the mod etc.
