What's this slidery thing next to the download link?
When the slider is in the ON position clicking the download link will download the craft and open the download tab so show you more info
When the slider is in the OFF position clicking the download link will just open the download tab without downloading the craft
erm....why?
Once you've downloaded a craft the slider will automatically move to the OFF position, so you can then open the download tab without re-downloading the craft each time.
If you want to re-download the craft there will be a link in the download tab
It also acts as a visual que to remind you which craft you've already downloaded, if it's in the OFF position (red) you've already downloaded the craft.
As you are not logged in it will only remember what craft you've downloaded in this session.

Action Groups are the only bit of craft info that is not read from the craft file.
If the craft has a B9 info drive they can be read from that, otherwise they have to be set manually.

This craft has been added to your downloads queue. Use the
KX Mod
to fetch it when you are next in KSP. Enable deferred downloads to make this the default way to download.
Not sure how to install a craft file?
Here's how
First open the directory where KSP is installed
You can have the craft in all your saves or in one specific save
To have the craft in a particular save
Put the craft file you've downloaded into the VAB sub folder in the Ships folder in your save;
<ksp_dir>/saves/<your-save>/Ships/VAB
To have the craft in all saves
Put the craft file you've downloaded into the VAB sub folder inside Ships in the root of KSP;
<ksp_dir>/Ships/VAB

Pulling on your own docking port for thrust
ZPK Drive = Zompi Kraken Drive = Zero Point energy Kinetic Drive is a new KSP reactionless drive concept discovered by Reddit user u/zompigespons in this post. There’s much useful info in the comments. The first craft using this propulsion method is here.
Basics
- This is a kind of Kraken Drive, which means it exploits the game physics to get infinite propulsion without using the cheat menu. It is considered cheating nevertheless, and should only be used if you know what you are doing.
- The core of this system is two sets of opposite docking ports with different Docking Acquire Force settings. There will be a constant force pulling toward one direction which can be
throttled
by adjusting the force difference. Reverse thrust is also easily possible. - The system can be scaled. One pair of docking ports produces ~9kN of thrust when placed on the optimal distance. Docking ports clipping works and allows for even greater TWR, I’m experimenting with that.
- The system does not require any sort of power supply to produce thrust. Electricity needed for attitude control is provided by RTGs.
- I used 16x symmetry (instead of twice 8x symmetry) on this craft, so that all docking ports in an array can be controlled by one single part action window (PAW). The trick is demonstrated here.
How to use
- Refer to the video for demonstration.
- Right click and pin the part action windows of two docking ports, one above and one below. (Or just the one below.)
- The Docking Acquire Force bar of the docking port below is now your throttle bar. Have fun!
- If you don’t see this bar, you may need to enable
Advanced tweakables
in the main menu settings.
Wish you enjoy and happy redefining physics!
