This is a revival of Vchamp's and mine's project back in 08 that never saw the light of day, as discussed in the add-on request thread.
The aim of this project is to get the add-on to the market with stable core functionality, but without the advanced physics and systems simulation we had originally planned and which were the main cause the project never saw a release. I will probably be removing more code from the original project than add to it, just to make it all stable. There's of course also the chance that someone else will pick it up after I'm done with it, which would be cool.
This add-on will enable you to assemble a fully functional ship, with animations and UMMU support, on Orbit, and then fly wherever with it. The add-on can also just as well be used for common station building, where every station in the end is one single vessel, not a huge assembly of them.
planned features:
-Stable!
-merge modules together into a ship that is a single Orbiter vessel and can be flown as any normal orbiter vessel.
-Full UMMU support
-Food and Oxygen reserve
-support for the most popular station building modules
planned project duration was a ridiculous 2 months, with the goal of release before my twins were born and eat up all of my time. Alas, my twins came 2 months early, which prolongs development significantly. Still, we're almost feature complete. I hope to release by end of August.
To do:
Completed
Being worked on
Not yet started
-Creating project and compile the old code
-Bug elimination and removal of non-essential features
-2-d Panel implementation for Orbiter 2010
-adding support for additional docking ports
-Support for some additional module types
-find out how to best convert an animation from a spacecraft3 ini-file to an IMS config file.
-Write configs for Greg Burch's [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3177"]SBB 4.1B[/ame]
-Write configs for Greg Burch's [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2337"]SBB 2006[/ame]
-Write configs for [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=560"]Voyager's module pack[/ame]
-Write config files for piper's [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2857"]space station modules[/ame]
-Write documentation on how to write configs
-make a nicer command module
-make a few thrusters and engines for diversity
-coarse power managment
-heat managment
-finish 2-d panel
-failure modes
-finishing up

Config Writers: Jarod, PhantomCruiser, PeterRoss
Testing: MaverickSawyer, PeterRoss, Nexiss
Graphic designer: Jedidia (damn, how did I get myself into that?)
