  1. The things on the side of some of the fairings that might be mistaken for solar covers are actually grid fins to stabilize/guide the launch abort system. There is a model of Grid Fins included in Sam Hall's excellent parts pack Kerbonov-Kn-2-Cockpit-Module

    But I don't think that those fins are deployable, they are way too large, and can you even put stuff on the fairings? Oh, and for proof of covers, go to the Soyuz 5 page on Wikipedia, and look at the first image. What are those little white panels under the base of the solar panels? Oh wait, I think they are solar panels. Huh, no proof, pfft.

  2. Yeah, I'm getting back home today, so I hope my parents will let me on the computer and test out all these cool gadgets. Oh, and I think a good placeholder IVA would be porkjet's TMA-1 Orbital Orb. It has a very similar design. Oh, and for the Lima, that's very awesome. But just a tip, try to make a different coloured onion/lemon to go with it. And maybe add some long antennae to place instead of solar panels like with the Soyuz 7K-T series. And maybe make a set of Probe/Drogue style docking ports, and if its possible make it so that only the male and female ports can dock with each other, and not the same with each other. This mod is looking very good Orion. When it comes to stock-alike, you are the best, and the fact that you are just a beginner amazes me with the skill you've picked up. This is one of my favorite mods. Thanks for the work that you've put in so we all can enjoy moar parts to lob kerbals into space.

    EDIT: I just remembered! You should make launch clamps like the ones that they have at Baikonour! That would top the Soyuz! Perfect! Now, if you want, go make some!

  3. Orion, for the lifting engine, I suggest adding "verniers" which are micro engines on the engine that do the gimbaling instead of the main engines. It's how they do it on the Soyuz. And I also suggest a radial, conical tank with built in decouplers.(to replace the nose cone possibly.)

    EDIT: Oh, and does the onion/lemon have an IVA yet? I haven't been on my computer, meaning I haven't been able to download this, meaning I don't know.
