Losket

Losket marks your craft with the flights it has been through. Re-entry scorches the surfaces that took the heat, and engines and rotors coat the hull in dust the colour of whatever you landed on. Both accumulate over a vessel's lifetime and are saved with it.

Requirements

• KSP 1.12.0 to 1.12.5
• ModuleManager

Usage

Losket adds a toolbar button in the space centre, the editor and in flight. It opens a small window with the global defaults. The same options also live in Settings > Difficulty > Losket.

Everything else is per part, in the editor. Right-click a part and look for the Losket group:

• Affected by — Nothing, Scorching, Dust, or Scorching and dust. Parts you will never see, or that sit inside a fairing, can be set to Nothing to save the work of rendering them.
• Preset — the look of the deposit. Soot is matte black with soft edges. Metal is lighter, sharper, and shows the full blue heat tint. Streaks is bleached and elongated, closer to how Starship comes back.
• Advanced settings — opens a window with the individual sliders: deposit colour, heat tint, bleaching, sharpness, pattern scale, streak length, and a blend between blotches and streaks. Touching any slider switches the preset to Custom.
• Preview scorching — shows the effect in the editor without flying.

In flight the same group reports how much scorching and dust the part has accumulated, as a percentage.

Defaults apply to newly placed parts only. Changing them does not touch parts that are already on the craft.
