Product description
The PPD-12 is one of the few parts in Kerbal Space Program that is covered in multi-layer insulation.
“ | The PPD-12 was developed to provide a high visibility control room for orbital stations, and a place for thoughtful Kerbals to contemplate the beauty of the cosmos. | ” |
Trivia
- There is a photo of two Kerbonauts on the right side of the cockpit.
- A few sticky notes can be found as well:
“ | Left the emergency slide rule in the bottom right cabinet. B.K. P.S. I ate all the snacks — On the roll indicator |
” |
“ | Stop using bits of metal as fuses YOU HAVE SPARES! — On the fuse box |
” |
Changes
- Cost increased from 2000 to 3200 (12 of which is monoprop cost)
- Added 10 units of monopropellant storage, increasing total mass from 4.5 to 4.54
- Initial Release
