I’ll make another model when I need the biggest docking port. You could adjust the size with a new config if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barzon Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 OK That's fine. But what do you mean by "The biggest docking port"? What size would that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barzon Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Surprisingly, no. I think you may need to increase the electricity usage of the capsule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barzon Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Ah. But I had the capsule lights on for the entire mission and the EC only went down like 1 unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capsule lights don't use EC either. There used to be a mod for that, but it's broken since 1.5.x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoSlelge Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Elia-1 first french space station is launched by a Vulcain B ! And soon joined by Viking ! The "kerbalness" of Vulcain rockets is so funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love because every tantares part are now gigantic, like the Shenzhou/SoyuzA Orbital Module vs Viking The service module allow surface attach, so it's maybe possible to attach science or Solar panel on it, without any problem with the shroud because she don't have any collider for this reason.

Barzon Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Would it be possible for you to add a BPC (Boost Protective Cover), to make the lines of the craft smoother while attached to a launcher? @Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for player they really want that, you could use a fairing upside down and make what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Nice, but the Viking engine should be fully modeled, with circular holes cut out for them in the thrust plate. You will need to model the turbopump assembly anyway, since it's visible on the 2nd stage. You can use the same pump for all Viking versions.

You can use the same pump for all Viking versions. That's right, it works perfectly. Pump, combustion chamber and "accessories" differ only minimally.

I know i need to make it for the second stage, i've just found more useful to have only one part for this stage; like Tantares Proton first stage. Other player also said they like to have a hole to fit the engine they want.... so i don't like that but i suppose i'm going to take this way... I already see so much pressure for this rocket lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, this is not a good idea. Also, engine mount and the water tank were the same between Ariane variants, but the engines themselves were not: This is Viking 5. Note the conical nozzle. Compare to Viking 5C: It is better to make a single engine mount, and allow players to add engines as they see fit, including engines from other mods, if they want. Modularity is good for KSP, and saving part count is not important on launch vehicles (it matters mostly for station parts, because stations can grow big).
