Skallabjorns Retro Solar, Structure and Antenna Blocks

Description
*** Please do not edit my mods and repost them without permission, and in some case the permission of the original author. I take the trouble to get permission to edit and repost, you should as well. ***


I have taken a VERY old and abandoned mod and updated 10 of the blocks.

Original Mod here ( Nasa Blocks )

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=337539313

Updated Blocks ( Xenon-Ion engine resurrected, with 550 kn thrust, power and parts adjusted accordingly )

Small Antenna Dish 1x1x1 - range 35,000m

Long Range Antenna Dish 3x3x2 - range 100,000m

Centered Solar Panel ( updated to 2 MW power output and double sided works again ) and Airtight !
- Balanced Power to be inline with my other solar panel mods. Needs Extra parts due to the power output


***** Metal Girder Cube

***** Metal Girder 45 deg Slope

***** Metal Girder Support ( centred offset rectangle )

***** Solar Panel Mount Rail ( Start )

***** Solar Panel Mount Rail ( end cap )

***** Xenon-Ion Heavy Thrust engine 1x1x1 550 kn thrust ( parts required greater due too thrust increase vs vanilla )

I have also updated and added damage effects to all of them.

I will work on each block from the original mod as time allows but with focus on what I wanted to add to my own server first.

A few of the old blocks have broken textures and they will be last to do ( unless someone wants to help me out and update them from being purple blocs )

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

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

Are you going to update the rest of the blocks?

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

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

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!
