  • KSP 1.7.x
  • Final content update
  • Updated ModuleManager to 4.0.2
  • Soft-deprecated all old solar panel parts: you have 2-3 months before they are removed PERMANENTLY (this was necessary due to extensive model changes)
  • New part configs and names introduced * Complete artistic redo
    • Division of Basic, Advanced, Blanket, Concentrator panels is now visually clear * Use of reflective shader to improve visual fidelity
    • Consistent texel density for all components
    • Visual continuity with Restock project
  • Panel naming convention has been clarified:
    • Non-blanket deployable panel nomenclature is now K{EC Output}-{Suffix}, where Suffix is composed of A (advanced), R (retractable) and/or K (concentrating) as appropriate
    • Blanket nomenclature is OKEB-{EC Output} with an R suffix if retractable
    • Circular nomenclature is NIV-{EC Output} with an R suffix if retractable
    • Most larger panels got new nicknames
    • Removed certain tags from un-retractable panels to remove them from searches
  • Manufacturer naming has been tweaked and consolidated into two manufacturers
  • Many descriptions were rewritten to account for changes
  • Several replaced/significantly modified models:
    • K7-A/K7-AR 1x4 panels have been replaced with a modern Dragon 1 style
    • K22-A, K15-A panels are now physically larger (previously they were too small for their power output)
    • K55 Megalador has a completely different model with a different closed footprint
    • OKEB-100 has a completely different model with a different closed and open footprint based off a Deep Space Gateway concept illustration
    • OKEB-500 has a completely different model with a different closed and open footprint based off NASA DRM5 SEP-CHEM option
    • OKEB-75-R has a completely different model with a different closed and open footprint, and is now fully shrouded.
    • NIV-30 has been reworked to be visually similar to Dragon 2 wraparound panels
    • NIV-18 has been reworked to be visually similar to Dragon 2 wraparound panels but in a taller footprint. Renamed to NIV-45.
    • Static truss panels can now be switched between truss and flat versions for flush attachment options
  • Balance changes:
    • Concentrator arrays have new cost/mass tier: even more expensive, slightly more massive, best output/area
    • OKEB-125 panel can now be retracted, power output updated to 150 kw (also retitled OKEB-150 as a result)
    • K90 'Trio' and K30 'Solo' are now Blanket style arrays from a balance PoV, and are retitled as OKEB-45 and OKEB-15. They can no longer be retracted.
    • YF-8 Circular Solar Array is now Blanket style from a balance PoV (higher mass efficiency, lower cost, worse output/area), and is retitled as OKEB-4R with 4 kW output
    • Mass, cost and unlock cost were tuned for many panels
    • Crash tolerances were normalized by type: Advanced * Shrouded panels now have higher thermal tolerances (2000K) and Blanket panels now have smaller thermal tolerances (1000K). Other panels normalized to 1200K.
    • Tech location tuned for all parts
  • New panels:
    • K2-A 1x2 Advanced Photovoltaic Panels: Small Advanced 2 kW array based on MRO panels
    • K4-A 3x1 Advanced Photovoltaic Panels: Small Advanced 4 kW array based on TDRSS Gen 1 panels
    • K20-C 1+2+1 Concentrating Photovoltaic Panels: Medium Concentrating 20 KW array based on JUICE panels
    • K40-AR 'Oar' Advanced Photovoltaic Array: Medium Advanced 40 kW sized retractable array
    • KX-STAT-2 Advanced Photovoltaic Truss: Single-panel version of the KX-STAT series (2kW)
    • OKEB-25-R 'Starship' Blanket Photovoltaic Array: Small Blanket 25 kW panels based off the SpaceX Starship panels. Fully shrouded.
    • OKEB-250 'Ares' Blanket Photovoltaic Array: Huge Blanket 250 kW panels based off NASA DST concept art
    • IX-A 3x1 Advanced Photovoltaic Panels: Small Advanced 4 kW array based on TDRSS Gen 1 panels
  • Curved solar panels now extend 10x faster in the VAB/SPH
  • Curved solar panels now update their symmetric counterparts when deploying/retracting in the VAB/SPH
