v0.41 The Winged Update (Part 2)
The shuttle system designed by Max Faget (of Mercury and Apollo fame).
A note on antennas: All stock and RT antennas have their stats adjusted to values that fit real-life(ish) missions. Part descriptions give their effective range when connected to the Deep Space Network back on Earth.

v0.38 Bumper
- Increase stock-contract rewards.
- Fix contracts to not require home body is named Earth (RVE compatibility).
- Fix issue where nodes could be unlocked with only one parent.
- Fix bug with toggling avionics (thanks to kendfrey!)
- SirKeplan: Add NK-15 and 15V configs, place the appropriate engines earlier in the tree. Same for RD-0110 vs RD-0124.
- Fix missing Staged Combustion node, fix later-tree node placement (and the two-nodes-one-spot issue).
- Fix Mk 1-2 Pod Avionics (thanks to Rabada!)
- Cost batteries (thanks to BevoLJ!)
- Fix Proc Battery costing.
- Lower Able avionics allowed mass to 5 tons.

v0.37 Zond
- More Temperature and Bio Sample science results courtesy jhathawaytn.
- Engine cost and tech updates from SirKeplan.
- New Crewed Lunar Orbital contract from Arbos, and Milestone Crewed Lunar Flyby.
- Duration parameter fix (needs CC v1.7.1).
- Corrections to KCT science node formula and simulation formula; you no longer get to game the system researching multiple techs at once. However, upgrading the R&D facility does increase your research rate now.
- Hide some non-RO SXT parts in career mode.
- Pricing for lunar heat shields.
- Tech tree extended out another few years, with some strings working until the present day. The Aero line, the Staged Combustion line, and the Rocketry line see the most improvements. Note that some parts have been moved earlier/later.

Contract Fixes
- Fix (repeatable) crewed suborbital contract to actually complete.
- Fix typo in Proc Size dummy part description.
- Add a Geiger counter part for those without FASA.
- Fix EVA contract to complete.
- Rework lunar impact requirements to cover more cases.
- Change GEO contract syntax, now completable.

v0.35 OV-103 Discovery Hotfixes
(cookie if you get the reference)
REQUIRES Realism Overhaul 10.2 and RealSolarSystem v10.2. In addition, the list of required mods has changed--make sure you have them all!
This release brought to you by the usual suspects, plus Kibbick!
See the gameplay notes below!
Hotifxes:
- Fix for CKAN issues.
- Fix for KCT issues.
- More science results (thanks to jhathawaytn)
RP-0 has the following new features:
- Contract Configurator contracts (thanks Shurikeen for getting us started! And nightingale for much help!) Most stock contracts are disabled in lieu of our custom contracts.
- CustomBarnKit configs, giving correct costing and unlocks for various building levels.
- Enhanced support by magico13 in KCT! (Coming in the next KCT.) For now, the existing times have been tuned.
- Science changes! (Goo is now a biological sample, and ScienceJr/MaterialsLab is now a film return camera). Note that you need Ship Manifest to get the film from the camera into a recoverable probe core (some probe cores have data storage). You can analyze telemetry from any command module (it's what probe report was). Gravioli is now an orbital perturbation detector, and there's a clone of the seismometer that's a micrometeorite detector. Note that some probes have some experiments "built in". Finally, result text is being reworked. So right now you'll mostly get generic text.
- Redone tech tree for KSP 1.0. It features several new nodes, redone part placement, and redone node costs. Note that the tech tree is incomplete after the third tier (Gemini era) so far, more to come.
- A part's entry cost can change based on what other parts are unlocked. For example, once you unlock one LR89, you get the others free (if you have FASA installed and use both the stock/VSR LR89 and the FASA one). Unlocking the LR79 will make unlocking the LR89 cheaper, and vice versa. A big example for this is heat shields: there's a fixed 16,000 fund cost added to the first LEO-shielded item you purchase, but the others will not include that extra cost.
- Improved spaceplane support by adding required-mods-only XLR11 and XLR99 engines, and X-15-like fuselage parts. Early aircraft have better support too, now that an early jet is added to the start node.
- Added dummy parts to announce on which nodes proc fairings/parts allow larger diameters.
Gameplay Notes
- The "Funds Penalties" setting also controls building cost. If you're playing on a difficulty higher than Normal, select 'Custom' and change that slider back to 100%. Unless you want very-expensive buildings...
- KCT plays very differently from how it does in normal KSP. In particular, it costs a fixed amount of funds to buy more upgrade points; upgrade points represent your space program workforce. You will definitely want to start investing in science early in order to be able to research later nodes in a reasonable period of time; don't be afraid to have bought 30+ points by the time you're launching your first crewed orbital missions.
- Contracts often have long deadlines and large advances. This is so you can accept the contract, then buy the building upgrade(s) and unlock the part(s) needed to fulfill the contract.
- Human Spaceflight milestone contracts expect you to fly uncrewed test missions first, and so their advances are quite high.
- ElectricCharge now flows by stage (like MonoPropellant in stock KSP). This means your probe's battery won't deplete during launch when the EC drain from avionics is high.
- The altitude threshold for the moon is quite low. Don't expect to get spacelow science except on impact missions, or from very low orbits.
- You often lose very little by unlocking a part early, since you may get a bonus to the entrycost of its later compatriot. For example, the effective unlock cost of the Castor I solid motor is only about 1000 funds since you get most all of the entrycost back in rebates when unlocking Castor II.
- You can make it to orbit in the start node. It's up to you to figure out how though...
