- Fixed power output of Ares panels
NearFutureSolar 1.0.0
- 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
