No heat shield is sad news. Sure there are mods, but if they don't include a stock option, than the game will be balanced around the fact, that you don't really need one if you don't go to crazy with your re-entry.
I expected heat shields to be added along with reentry heat, too. It's a bit weird this way.
Max did say that it's easy to repurpose fairings as heatshields, which makes sense. I do hope, then, that the fairings have an attachment node at their peak so that you can have a heatshield launched inline with your rocket.
His orbital insertion on the stream is so wasteful... should have combined the burns for plane correction and do the correction way earlier.
People asked him why he was being so inefficient in the chat and he said "It is because I am not good at this game"
If tier 0 is not in 1.0, it's being released too soon.
I'm curious how you cap off the fairings. If that cap is procedural too. Kinda looks that way from the pictures. And if we can strut the inside of the fairing to the payload.
Yes, this. You need to be able to strut the inside. There is nothing worse than your payload flopping about like some kind of floppy dinosaur and clipping through and ultimately breaking your ship :(
