Is it related to the science instruments, or a backpack to represent the Kerbal's cargo slot? It looks too small for cargo. Personally I'd like to completely hide the new system if KIS is installed which for me is every install.Īnother wrinkle is what's on this Kerbal's rocket pack? It's not a parachute, they've had lots of picks of the new suits with the same old style chute. Really we need to get our hands on the release to see how it really works. I don't see how the stock system could add anything useful to KIS. The only potential problem is whether or not the new parts are small enough for the personal inventory so a Kerbal could stick one is their pocket. Then the new science parts could be stored in the new container using KIS avoiding the stock system entirely. It's trivial to use MM to add a KIS Inventory to the new stock cargo modules turning them into KIS containers. I'm not sure what you think KIS needs to adapt from the new system. I think it would be nice if KIS could adapt the stock inventory system to its needs, but if it can't then it still makes sense to assume the stock inventory slots as specialised cargo space and the KIS inventory as the Kerbal's pockets, so to speak. No where is there an ability to bolt that instrument to the side of a ship. Or, you can pick up an item to put in a cargo slot. You can pull a scientific instrument from a cargo slot and drop it on the ground. The new update has not shown any hint of this being a new stock feature. The other aspect of KIS is the ability to attach and remove parts from built craft. I don't see a need for the stock system at all with KIS, but I still see a need for KIS inventories with the stock system. I expect KIS inventories to work just fine in parallel to it. But that meant implementing deployable instruments and they took the simplest approach possible. KIS lets you put whatever you want in a container, provided it's big enough. I think Squad decided to make EVA more meaningful and decided a stock version the SEP mod was the way to go. I'd guess the stock system has a new part attribute to indicate a part can be stuck in a cargo slot and the container indicates how many slots it has. Since the only compatible parts Squad have shown are all similar sizes the system could work just like KIS, but I doubt it. Stock KSP looks like it's based around cargo "slots" instead of physical dimensions. Some parts take more space than others and you can pack an inventory however you like. KIS uses volume and mass to determine how much inventory is used for each part. It looks very limited and less generic than KIS. What has been shown for the stock inventory system is disappointing to me. Sidebar: I cross-posted this to the KAS thread as well. If KIS is no longer needed, can we still use KAS? I wonder how that may impact the need for KIS. It includes an inventory system in the stock game. The Breaking Ground DLC is about to be released.
