From my experience with the original mod most of the other blocks are fine other than a lack of specular and normal mapping

Skallabjorn [author] 9 Jun, 2022 @ 8:53pm

No those blocks are beyond repair as the model source files are gone. Would need a full fresh start on them.

ArgentPhoenix11 9 Jun, 2022 @ 2:26pm

Are you going to update the rest of the blocks?

NightStalker 26 Sep, 2020 @ 8:28am

I noticed the range too so I started creating relay stations :) works well lol Nice work thank you for re-working some of the great mods that have become outdated !!!

dayve 10 May, 2020 @ 5:40pm

Damn, why they gotta ruin the fun like that? :(

Skallabjorn [author] 10 May, 2020 @ 4:52pm

yesh keen changed the game code after this mod was published, they hard coded to max 50 km

dayve 10 May, 2020 @ 2:02pm

I'm testing the long range dish in creative right now and I lose sight of it at 50km, in it's settings it also only goes up to 50km

Fvracer_x 2 Dec, 2019 @ 8:31am

Thanks again for all the hard work!

Skallabjorn [author] 2 Dec, 2019 @ 8:27am

Im working on that as time allows its part of the texture

Fvracer_x 2 Dec, 2019 @ 8:26am

Excellent rework of the old MOD. I love the dish antennas. One note/question: How do I remove "Now DX-11 Ready" from the computer screens? Thanks!

Solestius 1 Nov, 2019 @ 10:25pm

Will you be adding new screen shots when you get the old blocks updated???

StarDruid 28 Aug, 2019 @ 4:06am

I went ahead and delete my comments since they were not related to this mod after all.

StarDruid 28 Aug, 2019 @ 4:05am

Ah looks like when i was rushing to add mods to my save file (it had crashed 2 times before during creation because of a bad mod) I had accidenlty added Spacebar Rocketry Set, and that were the battery was from. Thought it was from yours since I though your mod was the only retro style mod i was using.

Skallabjorn [author] 27 Aug, 2019 @ 2:30pm

Thought I had removed the battery from this....

Wygos 30 Jul, 2019 @ 9:52am

FINALLY..someone did it..... thx

ThePandaNetwork 9 Apr, 2019 @ 8:58am

i like the modpack can you repir docking ring mod ? is perfeckt for iss station

Skallabjorn [author] 2 Jan, 2019 @ 6:27pm

as stated below, yes thats correct

McCloud Jr 2 Jan, 2019 @ 5:40pm

So it works like a normal antanna but just a different model right?

Skallabjorn [author] 2 Jan, 2019 @ 5:25pm

works as an omni directional antenna as the model doesnt provide for rotation and aim like the laser antenna does

McCloud Jr 2 Jan, 2019 @ 3:56pm

is the dish a "line-of-sight" style or is a laser antanna that can move?

Skallabjorn [author] 12 Nov, 2018 @ 10:28am

Yes they do work in survival, I never test in creative. I will check the ranges on the BIG dish, it should be 100 km unless... wel... KEEN.......

odysseymwm 11 Nov, 2018 @ 7:59pm

Does the long range antenna dish work in survival? I have an Earth base that is 64km from my asteroid base. Put long range antennas at each base, line of sight and excess power. Neither antenna would pick up the other. I noticed the range slider only goes to 50km also. Is there a problem with the antenna or is it on my end?

Skallabjorn [author] 24 Oct, 2018 @ 9:07am

Teaming up with SiXie on this one now, they will be slowly working on the textures and I will fix the coding.

Skallabjorn [author] 30 Sep, 2018 @ 6:33am

Sorry no as that I dont have the original texture files or templates the author would have used to create this originally.

ANICORP 29 Sep, 2018 @ 1:31am

If not in small ship, is there any chance you could make it so? Making nasa modular stations is alot easier and more realistic with small blocks. And HUGE THANK YOU for reviving this mod!

ANICORP 29 Sep, 2018 @ 1:27am

Is this small and large ship? or just large?

Cap'n MacHaddish 20 Sep, 2018 @ 5:23pm

Understood. No pressure.

Skallabjorn [author] 20 Sep, 2018 @ 5:22pm

yes as time allows, it is not a high priority atm, real life etc

Cap'n MacHaddish 20 Sep, 2018 @ 4:32pm

is this still being worked on?

revansdownside 30 Jul, 2018 @ 9:36pm

Can't wait to see 'em.

Skallabjorn [author] 30 Jul, 2018 @ 1:12pm

Well nothing broke :) but being my busy season at the office i havent had alot of time to crack down on this, next in the list of to do on this are the habitation module pieces.

revansdownside 30 Jul, 2018 @ 8:26am

How is the work looking after the new update? I am very excited to see the NASA Kit mod being revived.. I am pumped to use this mod as a whole, the way the orginal creator envisioned.

Skallabjorn [author] 20 Jul, 2018 @ 7:21pm

Sorry for the hiatus on work on this, I was waiting for the MP update to hit to see if I had to adapt my plans....

miad2401 10 Jul, 2018 @ 12:45pm

I loved the NASA block mod, and I am glad to see it is being resurrected. :)

[BLD] TJohnsonhvac 20 Jun, 2018 @ 8:09pm

THIS IS AWESOME! Thanks for the great work!!

[BLD] TJohnsonhvac 20 Jun, 2018 @ 8:09pm

YESSSS!!!!

Skallabjorn [author] 20 Jun, 2018 @ 7:16pm

No it didnt....

maxx2575 20 Jun, 2018 @ 2:22pm

hey did the old mod have any CRT TV screans?

Skallabjorn [author] 20 Jun, 2018 @ 11:57am

Added today - Xenon-Ion 550 kn higher thrust engine ( about 50 % greater thrust vs Large block small ion thruster ). Parts adjusted accordingly as well as power required to run.

maxx2575 18 Jun, 2018 @ 5:51pm

yes but I mean keep doing what your doing and try to get better at moding so you can make more than what was im the old mod

Skallabjorn [author] 18 Jun, 2018 @ 9:55am

Thanks, tho I am not the texture author, im just rebuilding this old mod to a working point as much as possible within my skill set.

Ω Spriggan Ω 17 Jun, 2018 @ 12:37pm

the Antenna Dish looks very nice.
i'll have to spam a bunch of them on my ship just for decoration. ^^

ig_alx 16 Jun, 2018 @ 10:51am

yep ;)

maxx2575 14 Jun, 2018 @ 4:47pm

I hope you can get the rest of them and more

Skallabjorn [author] 14 Jun, 2018 @ 10:17am

As it says in the description, I will be working on it block by block as time allows.

HerrTolaris 14 Jun, 2018 @ 9:56am

Any chance of ressurecting the rest of the NASA mod? One that would work with AVtech passage mod would be most welcomed. :-)

FrenchWave 12 Jun, 2018 @ 4:26pm

Can't wait to see the Old NASA mod updated, used to be one of my favourites..... thank you for doing this.....

Skallabjorn [author] 11 Jun, 2018 @ 4:15pm

@remethep The input on balancing is greatly appreciated :D I watch your reviews all the time :)

remethep 11 Jun, 2018 @ 3:18pm

:D

Skallabjorn [author] 11 Jun, 2018 @ 1:49pm

@remethep thanks for the review! The small antenna is ranged at 35km from 50 km actually ( changed just after your review was recorded but befor your releaseI think ) and will be adjusting the solar panels and large antenna as well ( as that it had double the normal range ). Programing block already ajusted slightly as well :)
