  1. Are procedural wings that act like control surfaces in the works? Some big elevators or canards for MKIII planes would be great! Edit: nvm i learned to read
  2. I was also excited to see some new images. But I guess we're close enough to 0.90 that it doesn't make much difference now.
  3. I'm sure I speak for a large portion of the community when I say I would like to see the MKIII parts.
  4. Have you thought about what the ramp would be like (if you plan one)? Although it's not really necessary given you could just lower the rear gear, it would be something I would make great use of.
  5. Would something like this be within the scope of this project? I imagine a tail ramp like this would make the MKIV system a mainstay in my KSP. Also I would just like to express how much I am looking forward to seeing this project complete.
  6. That looks awesome. The fairing I mean is the fairing covering the command module, which is bell shaped in SDHI. I just think it would be good to have an alternative, angular version.
  7. I think perhaps the throat could stand to be a little shorter, just for aesthetics. Would a conical fairing for the crew module be within the purview of of this mod? Because I would love to see that added.
  8. I, for one, am a big fan of your textures so far. I cannot wait to see these parts in their final form!
  9. Very inventive use of Fairing Factory. You're clearly done your research on the Saturn V.
  10. ULYSSES MKII The Ulysses MKII is a 3-stage-to-orbit medium-lift rocket capable of lifting a payload of more than 18t to a 120,000m orbit. The Ulysses MKII is a simplistic, basic design and fills a variety of roles. The frequent use of the Ulysses as a shuttle to stations in LKO has proven its reliability and stability. With a payload ratio of 1:6, the Ulysses is an economic option for most orbital procedures. Despite its common use as a shuttle, the MKII lives up to its multi-role reputation by lifting small stations, unmanned satellites and scientific equipment, amongst a wide range of possible payloads. STAGES Pictured here are the three stages of the Ulysses MKII. STAGE ONE The first stage consists of the two liquid boosters comprised of 3 FL-T800s each and are powered by a single LV-T30 each. The fuel in the boosters is transferred into the 2nd stage tanks until the first stage is jettisoned. This stage is used entirely during the vertical ascent. STAGE TWO Upon the separation of stage one, the second stage's tanks are completely full. The second stage consists of the primary motor, a Rockomax Mainsail and two Rockmax X200-32 fuel tanks. This stage lasts until the beginning of the Ulysses' gravity turn. STAGE THREE The third stage consists of the secondary motor, a Rockomax Skipper and a single X200-32 tank. This stage brings the payload to orbit, in this case a Ulysses Orbital Module (UOM). Ulysses Orbital Module The most common payload the the Ulysses MKII is the UOM or Ulysses Orbital Module. The UOM's simple design, modularity and ease of modification enable it to be a versatile and rugged orbiter. The entirety of the UOM is rated for atmospheric reentry. The UOM is pictured here at the peak of the parabolic test flight. This image is of the UOM after separation of the engine module. Note the reentry-hardened nosecone, which houses the flight computers and stability control. Finally, here is the UOM's crew module, equipped with all the necessities of a lengthy wait for recovery from the oceans of Kerbin. Visible under the crew module are the small motors deployed 20m before touchdown. This ensures the impact does not damage the cabin, as a hull breach could be fatal in an ocean landing.
