Starship Expansion Project

Starship Expansion Project (SEP) is a mod being developed by me, Kari, and our amazing team. Our project aims to bring our intepretation of the Starship vehicle by SpaceX into Kerbal Space Program. While a lot of the design choices are based on the actual vehicle sitting on Boca Chica, creative freedom is used to expand our mod even further.

Dependencies:

• B9 Part Switch
• Waterfall
• ModuleManager

"Must Have" Mods:

• Community Resource Pack
• Shabby 0.4.0 or later + Resurfaced (Shiny)
• Textures Unlimited (Shiny but for Older parts)
• Kerbal Joint Reinforcement

Suggested Mods:

• Starship Launch Expansion
• Editor Extensions Redux
• Flight Manager for Reusable Stages (FMRS)
• Trajectories
• HullCameraVDS & NeptuneCamera
• Hangar Extender
• MechJeb 2
• FlyByWire SAS Mode

IVA Dependencies

• Near Future Props
• Reviva
• Free IVA
• Raster Prop Monitor
• ASET Props

Know Issues

• When you spawn a part in the VAB it may have invisible meshes, just click it again and will fix itself
• If SEP parts are black, you need to bump up KSP graphical settings, specifically render quality and/or reflection related settings
• Ship's aerodynamics is very sensitive, small changes to the weight distribution can cause instability, we are looking at potential permanent fixes
• Stock SAS tends to overcorrect a lot and can create even more instability on ship EDL (Entry, descent and landing). We recommend using MechJeb or FlyByWire SAS Mode to mitigate that.
• Full Stack is not very stable on ascent, that's a design issue, fly with flaps perpendicular to the ground and don't be too agressive on the gravity turn and you should be fine.
