These are awesome pictures! But why does your kerbonaut look so disappointed? Was she hoping for cheese?

Can't you see why she's sad?! She forgot the crackers!

She expected pistachio ice cream but KSRSS only has a Moon, no Minmus.

Thank you Bluedog Design Bureau dev team! This mod is amazing!

Hope my obscene build doesn't make you regret your work :D I called it "A Shelter with Wheels". It's really stable.dAeJzpa.png

I would like you to know that this was seriously considered (but saner heads prevailed and MOLAB went forward instead until that died).

S2 sized inline docking port for more orbital assembly stuff. On github now.

There is a also a new variant of the 6.25 to 3.75 (M-1) engine mount with a 1.25m plate that should look nicer when used with the NERVA II.

its worth adding that you should probably add the S1C low profile docking port between the port and the SII interstage (typically in the shortest length) so you can jettison it when you need to run the engine.

Whoo boy, pioneer took longer than expected... mostly because I was too busy watching Thunderbirds Are Go and other procrastination, but here we are. The Pioneer probes.

As always, full album with every image is here. Be forewarned, I went screenshot crazy... Imgur: The magic of the Internet

And that completes the Pioneer Family of Probes. Next up, Ranger. Might take a break from the probes for a bit, so expect somewhat of a delay on those pics.

My Nova rocket has a kerbalx file now! Also new pictures with filters and stuff.

While I am decidedly *NOT* a huge fan of MSFC's  NOVA attempts... I can appreciate the work you (and prior to you GoldForest) have put into making those ugly rockets.    Thanks for expanding the game!

Also nice shots and good job getting those on KerbalX

 

PS so glad no one makes interstages to work to the CORRECT diameters!  Because this rocket is so much nicer to look at than a real Saturn C-8 / Nova C-8

I think it's the first stage everyone has a problem with. In most cases it's short and fat. Doing this long boi first stage makes it look better, imo at least. 

Also, @Blufor878 why the fins on the skirt? You don't really need them. The C-8 has more than enough thrust vectoring. Also, you're just putting more drag on an already heavy drag skirt.

You are absolutely right. For some reason I thought the C8 did have fins. My bad.

Probably because the C-8 Wikipedia page diagram shows them, but I prefer the finless skirt of the "Saturn Nova" in Google Images.

Is the "HLR-TRYP" probe core supposed to represent anything in particular? It seems like a bit of an anomaly compared to all the other probe cores which very clearly do represent specific spacecraft.

Not really, just something I wanted to make. There's some legacy parts in the mod that are just stockalike parts that popped into my head.

(also, lol, hi everyone. been busy)

Welcome back from the woods. 

Just some images taken on my newly upgraded desktop. Love ultrawide monitors. (The monitor isn't new. I'm just expressing my love for them. :P )

If anyone has any screenshot requests or suggestions, please do ask/tell. I'll see about doing them between breaks in my current mission to launch every probe in BDB.
