OPT Suite 3.4.9.5 beta

Continued

• ❗ Re-added missing K parts
• Added J & K belt radiators.
• Added wrapper titanium radiators for H, J, K.
• Balance pass on wrapper radiators and solar panels.
• Gave wrapper intakes minimal drag cubes. They were horribly draggy due to their great surface area at non-zero AoA.
• Updated Dark Energy power spheres: They are now Sterling Systems style pebble bed reactors (fission type, thermals category).
  • Added generator bays (cloned from cargo bays) to hold them and provide generous thermoelectric conversion.
  • Added System Heat compatibility.
• Deprecated custom tech nodes.
• Hard deprecated old RCS parts.
• Added inline Mk2 and 2.5m RCS parts.
• Updated System Heat thermal nozzles config.
  • Affected engines produce 1/10 the previous amounts of waste heat.
  • Added/Moved LP-R Irradiance to this subcategory.
• Fixed Kerbal Actuators config pointing to OPT Legacy for the alternate models for the Slipstream engine (RCS) and Skylight tilt engine. Affected engines became invalid and would not appear.

Reconfig

• Updated System Heat config to cover belt radiators.
• Updated Kerbal Actuators config to remove the elevon module from tilt engines. Fixes potential overlap conflict issues.
• Fixed Kerbal Actuators config pointing to OPT Legacy for the alternate models for the Slipstream engine (RCS) and Skylight tilt engine. Affected engines became invalid and would not appear.
• Updated System Heat configs for thermal nozzle engines and reactors:
  • Dark Energy power spheres now count as Sterling Systems style pebble bed reactors (fission type, no longer fusion).
  • Affected engines produce 1/10 the previous amounts of waste heat.
  • LP-R Irradiance engine now counts as a thermal nozzle.

Legacy

• No changes

OPT Suite 3.4.9.4 beta

• Mostly just 3.4.9.3 beta but without the reordering of files which breaks TURD and without the custom tech tree node.
• Added inline Mk2 and 2.5m RCS.

OPT Suite 3.4.9.3 beta

Parts changes

• Fixed the J Large Docking Port. Orientations are proper and it actually docks.

OPT Suite 3.4.9 alpha

Changes

The changes are few but with big footprints:

• Dry mass balance on all parts. (They were largely excessively heavy but they should meet CryoTanks' standard now)
• Rewrote engines to not be handwavium by default:
  • Except the warpjets are still warpjets
  • The Dark Drive is now an antimatter engine, and the Bubble engine might be in a weird place, possibly unusable
  • The J61 engine has been made into scramjet only. (Doesn't function under Mach 4 speeds.) I should undo that, probably? Lots of people like it being an all-range engine but it's really OP as a short engine but its complement, the short HAE-02 turboramjet exists, and its true equivalent, the J-60 Screamjet exist. Fixing the J61 will break the most craft files (and hearts) 💔
• Made some changes and reductions in RO support.
• Some changes to the fusion power spheres.

Suggestions

• Install RR Jet Family (v 2.0.4 or later) for fuel switching in the LFO engines. They can choose between LFO, Hydrolox and Methalox.
• Install RR Nuclear Family for balancing the engines that have been converted to thermal nozzles. (ThermalPower sources not added/included in OPT)

OPT Reconfig 3.4.1

• Fixed lingering OPT SAS problem(s).
• Fixed excessive EC demand of 2.5m Dark Energy power sphere's Dark Goo regeneration.
• Increased drag power of OPT airbrakes.

OPT Reconfig 3.4

• Changed life support resources into a discrete B9 switch module on crewed parts (so LS and fuel can be chosen in parallel on them, especially cockpits).
• Fixed issue with missing keys on EggDog engines when CryoEngines installed.
• Fixed missing Oxidizer gauge on EggDog and Bubble engines.
• Fixed other issues with WBI Classic Stock and CryoEngines:
  • Default tank amounts were wrong.
  • Made OmniStorage default to LiquidFuel, not Propellium, when OPT_Reconfig_CryoEngines not active.
  • Made air-breathing fuel mix switcher (in engines) default to LiquidFuel, not Propellium, when OPT_Reconfig_CryoEngines not active.
• WBI Stress!
  • Allowed entertainment center to not need a connection to the homeworld.
  • Discounted microgravity stress except when Less or Zero Handwavium active.

OPT Reconfig 3.3

• Adjusted Dark Drive options to detect "SystemHeatConverters" to hopefully cure System Heat conflict.
• Created Extras folder containing:
  • OPT_Reconfig_CryoEngines.cfg - Except for RO users, this has been moved out and is now completely optional.
  • OPT_Reconfig_LessHandwavium.cfg - Changes engine behaviors and Tidal Force power spheres to be more "stockalike" or "realistic."
  • OPT_Reconfig_ZeroHandwavium.cfg - Includes the former and deletes the "Dark Energy" power spheres and end-game engines.
  • OPT_Reconfig_LessB9ForTweakScale.cfg - Disables B9 toggles for engines and converters as TweakScale doesn't handle them well.
• Fixed OPTSAS problem.

OPT Reconfig 3.2

• Added Feature Bias "B" tweakable. Edit the values in OPT_Reconfig/OPT_00Tweak.cfg to your liking. Not tested for use with RealismOverhaul but should still work just fine. This tweakable allows for:
  • [1] Reducing the handwavium nature of most OPT engines and the "Tidal Force" (fuel cell) power spheres: give them stockalike or more realistic:tm: behavior.
  • [2] Option [1] + Deleting the Dark Drive, WarpJets, Bubble engine, and "Dark Energy" (fusion) power spheres.
• Enabled all OPT body parts to hold IntakeAtm for maximum use of WarpJets.
• Fixed redundant FFT Antimatter containment module on parts.
• Fixed other fatal Classic Stock issues.
• Improved or fixed integration with Classic Stock and Rational Resources.
