Why? Mods still work.
Yep, you just have to manually change a few things.
Do you?  I didn't have to change anything...
Well you're /supposed/ to I guess. Put them in gamedata in their own folder, and put a PART {} wrapper around each part config file.
Why would you do that? Mods work fine without doing that.

Because that is the new file structure. The part wrapper tells the engine it is loading a part and might cause issues without it. Putting them in their own folder in gamadata keeps them nicely organized.

Optional for now but modders will be adjusting their mods to use it and I imagine it won't stay optional for long.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the questionable sequel to the Firebug, the Firebat!

Featuring:

-KSP 0.20 for the first time!
-MechJeb 2.0 also for the first time!
-Pretty much the same a slightly smaller amount of intake abuse, but now with part clipping!
-Giant tail booms!
-Too many control surfaces!
-SSTO capability via ion engines!
-Questionable solar panel placement! (for equatorial orbits, anyways)

Messing around with hybrid engines from the corresponding mod, I find it amusing how little xenon gas they use- probably 10+ tons of LFO for one little xenon tank that masses less than half a ton. I tried using them in a larger, cargo-carrying varient of the Firebat (currently on hold due to bugs and me wanting to make things look good) and I couldn't fit enough LFO to max out the delta-v. It annoys my OCD significantly. Then again, I suppose you're meant to use them in conjunction with regular old ion engines for hard maneuvers that you can't really do with engines that can't lift their own weight. :p

I'm thinking of making a modded "compression" air intake which produces liquid oxy instead of air. Then you use it with jet fuel and normal rockets, like the experimental mixed-input scram-rockets or ram-rockets are whatever they are.

The Skylon pack already does that with the air intake. Of course, the SABRE engine is pretty overpowered in the ISP department already, so it's not like there isn't a place for such things.
