    I am pretty sure we have our own native Cryo Engines functionality, since trying to balance Saturn with stock LFO became impossible (the increased density of LFO upper stages become an exponential issue, and we wound up needing the F-1s at something like 90% of their real world thrust output!)

     
     

    My mistake, I remember a time when Cryo was an optional extra :P

    On a separate note, any plan to do the ASTP docking module?

    oops, im using 6.4. whelp.

    No worries, BDB has an inbuilt "Blue SMURFF" that automagically balances rockets to modded solar systems.

    You probably want to install Cryogenic Engines to give upper stages some more kick.

    At that scale you also want the rescaled Saturn V from the "Extras" folder that will give you the spare DeltaV needed.

    Happy Mooning!

  3. Hey Beale, love your parts, building my own Mir right now :)

    Got me interested in how they made the star shape if only one port on the node on the core module could be used for docking and came across this beauty

    From Wikipedia: "Each of the Kvant-2, Kristall, Spektr and Priroda modules was equipped with one of these arms, which, after the module had docked to the core module's forward port, grappled one of two fixtures positioned on the core module's hub module."

    "The module's main docking probe was then retracted, and the arm raised the module so that it could be pivoted 90 degrees for docking to one of the four radial docking ports."

    Thought it was some pretty cool trivia :P

  4. @MrMeeb there was a patch made to the DIRECT Parts in that mod's forum thread that updates fuel value for new versions of CryoEngines, what do you think?

    Also, I noticed your Mk 3 Cockpit resolution is a bit off, any idea what might be causing this?
