I'll add Voskhod to the wiki. Can you let me know what else needs adding or updating? Specifically if any of the revamped parts have name changes or new builds post-revamp. I've captured a few but it's a game of spot the difference and trawling the localisation file to figure out what the new part names relate to so help would be welcome!

Thanks but while the overall wiki is mine, that page is all @Zorg so he should rightly get the credit for an excellent guide!

I have no idea how to cool some of these bigger engines without cheesing it with multiple Heat Control micro-graphene radiators clipped into the body of the spacecraft. Anything else looks aesthetically awful or can't fit into a fairing for launching into orbit. Am I missing an intended design technique? I would be grateful for some inspiration!

Love it! Far better than my meagre attempt to add it to my Kerbal Koncepts line of kitbashes.

Great screenshots. 2.5x KSRSS seems to be flavour of the month and BDB is like a match made in heaven. I think I might follow suit and roll back to 1.11 though, too many problems getting it to work in 1.12 career. I'm considering a more roleplay career next - perhaps restricting myself to USAF only launches...

Mine was working until a couple of days ago. Not sure what got updated (KK, Kopernicus or KSRSS) but Kape Kernaveral is underwater again. Made for some interesting pics of a sea launched Saturn though.

I like the idea, feels much more involved than EPL's approach to popping bases into existence. Coupled with a 3D printer-style mod (such as OSE Workshop) it would provide a lot more gameplay opportunities off Kerbin.

Check out @Zorg screenshot thread and guide. It has everything you need.

Do parts (tech tree nodes) get locked again if your rep with the associated agency drops too low? Is that possible to code even? This has got me thinking about a rough idea for Bid & Tenders, essentially Strategies that significantly bolster rep for one agency at the cost of the others, and an injection of cash but you have to complete a fixed number of missions (e.g. launch 10 comms satellites with at least one part unique to that agency) Restricting tech from the other agencies would be an additional penalty

That's some seriously next level kit bashing. Colour me impressed!

Mostly blowing things up on the launch pad, in my case

I use PVG exclusively for all launches in JNSQ. Very rarely have an issue with it, and that's usually only when I've massively overrated the thrust on a LV from laziness. Zorg added a guide to using PVG with BBD in JNSQ and other acronyms on the unofficial wiki

The launch pads seem to have quite low heat tolerance - they're very explodey when my rockets take off (1.11 install). Is that a new thing or have I just never noticed it before?

The Saturn V model was scaled down so it would fit in the VAB in KSP. The revamped version is to scale.

Yes absolutely, it's on my To Do list. I'm waiting for Beale's current dev cycle to get close to completion before reviewing and updating everything.

Fortunately we're playing a computer game so we don't have to wait that long, and can send the probes to different places with different rockets, so they're not useless by any means

If only there was a handy guide how to build all the rockets somewhere...

Simplistically, Thor Advanced was the USAF program and NASA benefitted by inheriting the tech for what they now called Delta (aka Long Tank Thor). Clear as mud, right?

Just DOSing about in space, right?

It should be up to date with the latest official release. Names often change in dev, so the github dev version of Tantares may differ. If anything is unclear or you're struggling to build something from the guide, let me know and I'll update it.

I just installed the Gitlab release onto the latest KSP, and Eve/Scatterer/DAO/Planet Shine/KSC Switcher from CKAN and stuffed Sigma Dimensions on top. I followed all the instructions on the OP and it all works perfectly. Where is the rescale config hidden? I stuffed SigmaDimensions into GameData and it's definitely scaled everything up to what I assume is 2.5x (Earth atmo is at around 90km) but I can't figure out how to confirm.

It's an old kit bash that I did of a the conceptual Saturn V ELV using the stretched Saturn tanks in BDB Extras and probably a bit of tweakscale for the S-V stage. Looks like proc fairings for some of the interstages too.

The more you know.... I used strap on tanks for a JNSQ munar polar mission. Just needed a little extra margin for the lander but otherwise very achievable.

I had to strap on a couple of extra tanks to the lander to achieve this. Incidentally, what texture mod does the shiny helmet visors?
