So sorry for following up with an unrelated question but.... So the Jupiter 5M fairing has no texture, help?

I know, but it's not going to change in size or capabilities.

Why would it? It's literally the exact same spacecraft, with updated textures.

This is a ground up remake of the entire spacecraft, so it won't be a drop-in replacement for the existing parts.

The capabilities may not change in the configs, but it's a lot more than new textures.

firstly the solar panels will have sweep the rcs will change and probs stats will be updated to scale acordingly to the modern values that nasa provides

Like this mod!benjee10,are you still working on this mod?

[Galileo chiu]

Suggestion: you should add the STS External Tank Decoupler node onto the SLS tank so we can make versions of the shuttle with a extended external tank, fairing on the external tank and things like that

i think he mentioned that other than orion hes not adding onto this mod's features anymore. also this is very easy to kitbash using a tiny stock structural truss part.

Are there any Waterfall Configs that replace plume party?

Yeah, I know, I've seen your posts

I like them very much

Quick progress update/screenshot dump on Orion:

  

Solars use Breaking Ground robotics to slew forward/backward. If you don't have BG installed they will function as regular solar panels without the ability to slew them. 

Stage adapter comes in 3 sizes, 2.5m, 3.125m and 3.75m (service module adapter is a separate part):

Currently hoping to release before Artemis I launches. 

Still to-do:

• Parachutes (main & drogues)
• Service module length variants
• Flag decals
• Simple IVA
• Specular textures
• NASA docking system variant for APAS
• Tweaks, balance, testing, part descriptions, config stuff
• Compatibility patches for waterfall + TAC LS
• Take a nap

Could this shrink to something suitable for the Orion-lite concept? (unfortunately all renditions of it are literally fan-fiction)
