SSTU - Shadow Space Technologies Unlimited

• NEW PART - SC-ENG-SRB-U - Upper-stage SRB. Nozzle models by @blowfishpro . Textures still a bit WIP.
• NEW PARTS - Two new RCS blocks, stand-alone versions of those on the SC-C-SM.
• NEW PARTS - ShipCore: Series-V - Command Module, Retro Module and Launch Abort System.
  • ~200 dV in the retro module, 3 crew seats, heat shield, docking port, full parachute system, and rcs. Includes recoloring support.
  • RM contains drogue parachutes, and should remain attached until main parachutes are deploying. It also provides attitude control for de-orbit and re-entry through RCS thrusters.
  • CM contains the main parachutes. The upper-node should be decoupled (manually) as soon as the main chutes start deploying.
• UPDATE - Minor change to VA adapter geometry, smooth out the sharp lip at the top a bit.
• UPDATE - SSTUModularParachute now supports the recoloring system through the use of SSTUTextureSwitch modules. One texture-switch module should be added for drogues, and one for mains (where applicable).
• CHANGE - Parachute-equipped parts should now support parachute texture switching and recoloring support.
• CHANGE - MSRB module has had quite a few internal code changes. WARNING - May have a negative impact on existing craft, though should be minor.
• CHANGE - Major rebalance pass on heat shields - both stand-alone and integrated.
  • WARNING - This may have negative side effects on existing in-flight craft, as the new balance is tuned for different ablator amounts.
• CHANGE - Add 'height' specification for SRB/MFT nosecones. WARNING - Might effect existing craft using those nosecones.
• FIX - Add attach node definitions to many adapters/mounts that were previously lacking them -- Adapter-Dome-A/B, lower-stage SRB nozzles, SRB nosecones. Modular parts using these models should now properly have and position attach nodes when those models are used.
  • TODO - set proper 'height' value in SRB nosecones (and node location)
• FIX - NodeFairing 'Jettison' button not being removed after fairing had been jettisoned manually.
• FIX - ModularEngineCluster - 'Clear Mount Type' button now updates mount selection display text properly.
• FIX - SC-ENG-LMAE - Top attach node was misplaced; it should now be correct.
• FIX - Fuel tank / SRB nosecone default texture set assignments.
• FIX - ModularParachute - Add some workarounds for stock part temperature instabilities on newly spawned craft (such as upon decoupling something).
• FIX - KIS integration code - should no longer have problems with the MFT tanks.
• FIX - Add proper labels for recolorable sections/texture selections for ShipCore parts.
