renders can be deceiving...

we will have to wait until they are in-game.

Fake news.

Note on Gemini - I would like to add some color back to it, I just haven't figured out how yet. It will definitely be more subtle than the previous markings.

you could add some gunmetal blue (?) mixed with the black which already looks amazing; Give it that blue-ish black glint in the sunlight

Actually I kinda like how the Gemini and the mercury have the same color scheme, though it would be nice to switch textures like on the apollo...

Not sure about that, but I found a pic of it on the real s/c.... looks like a giant holster for a badass space cannon :P

 

It's the horizon scanner housing.

That could probably or put in like it is for the vega tanks- a toggleable "fairing" type thing.

What?

Edit: Is Bame's Nond having a stronk, shall I call a bondulance?

That is a magnificently large stack of propellant. If I may toss a performance question back at you, how's it perform compared to M02 and H03 to the same orbit, or to escape?

 

Well, I can lob About 45 tons to Duna at 2X PERFECT for Duna Direct. (90 tons to Duna in stock). Moreover, I can launch an Artemis xC mission all in one to the Mün without the EUS in both versions.

Wow these new textures are amazing @CobaltWolf   RE Color and Gemini capsule...  Dark Red seams on the hatch / forward part joints (ahead of  the cockpit.)  Not true loaction for this color compared to RW Gemini but it is the right color as depicted on the simple color-plates posted above by @Abrecan

I too like the idea of adding almost black blue shade to the Gemini capsule.   Make it A-11/F-12/SR-71 Blackbird black that way.  After all the real, non museum painted Blackbird black is actually Iron-ball Blue RAM (RADAR Absorbent Material) paint.    Drawback if you wanted to show burning on re-entry... It burns to rust and not charcoal black.

AKA an aft facing Camera.  The USAF "Blue-Gemini" program has documents that mention this location for various cameras as well.   Of-course Blue-Gemini/Gemini-II was canceled along with MOL.

Actually, it was a ventral-facing scanner that was flown on the Gemini missions. Here's the source material. Gemini Guide - Horizon Sensor System
