I'm starting a new save after not playing KSP for a while. What's the recommended boiloff rate for LH2 tanks right now (dev branch, 1.11.2, JNSQ)? I know that when I was last playing with it, 20% was recommended due to some issues with the boiloff system. Thanks

On the topic of small labs, Bluedog Design Bureau has a 1.25 lab (Mercury - Agena lab) and 1.5/1.875 labs (M.O.L. and Gemini Modular station parts) if one interested in those profiles.

Using the x0.64 heuristic, Apollo should stay at a diameter of 2.5, so that scale is correct.

That's Observation

I think that bases/landers based off the LEM and the Apollo Applications Project would come before Jamestown.

So, are those 1.875m station parts that you were mocking up in the dev thread on a roadmap, or have they been shelved for now?

I ran into the same boiloff issue with HOSS (had a 400% boiloff over timewarp.)

It's definitely a treat to see another pass on MOL after the initial revamp with Titan. The blue gemini service module looks rad.

I think stockalike station parts and Habtech 2 would give you everything you need for those stations (except the full size inflatable hab on Discovery).

I remember that on the old CyroEngines, the Etna re-scaled from 3.75 from 3.125 was actually was pretty close to expected thrust from the standard scaling heuristic. I've thought about making a patch that updates the size and thrust of various Restock/CyroEngines engines to match closer to their visual equivalent, but I don't know how to scale the engine weight to compensate for the changed thrust.

The joke is that Cobalt is on record that Delta IV isn't happening, and that it's already possible to kitbash a good looking Delta IV with Cyro Engines and Restock.

Now that KSP2 is delayed, there's plenty of time for Cobalt to make Delta IV. /s

Can't say no to new Tantares content!

New engines look great for NFLV! Are the old (methalox) engines getting moved to Cyroengines, or just cut for now?

The x0.64 heuristic for diameter gives us 2.9m. Are you rounding up to 3.125m, or doing something else? Either way, it'll fun to pair this with a kit-bashed Vulcan using Nertea's metholox engines.
