I like how this rocket (to me atleast) looks like a 50:50 american tech/russian tech mix, for example the 1st/2st stage or the 2nd stage engine mount with or without the ''boattail''

Changed the OV color.

The aft heatshield for the LAP.

Probably your best looking mod yet! I love the fabric textures. This is from my first launch, gotta learn how to do the reentry correctly lol.

Also the when you retract the extended cargo bay the heat shield breaks off

I am aware of this bug. It will be fixed by release.

Might we see the Masten XEUS sometime?

I did a little bit of work to add 4 parts for Masten Xeus made to use the BDB Centaur III!
They will be released with the K-1 in v1.0.0.

[EStreetRockets]

Update

We are approaching the v1.0.0 release of Asbury Western Stars Industries! All Kistler K-1 parts are in-game and mostly/partially balanced. They are all available on the development branch. I have decided not to include Xeus in v1.0.0 as I want to do more work and improve it substantially.

To make the moving parts work, like the elevator and the extended payload module, AnimatedAttachments has been removed as a dependency. Instead, AWSI now relies on the Breaking Ground DLC.

A lot of new parts have been added in the past month, so I hope you are very excited. Please let me know of any bugs or issues.

The final planned steps are making sure all the parts are balanced properly and have all of the correct config information and functionality.

I am so excited!

As I finish off my Kistler K-1 mod, I am thinking about what will be my next project. Please let me know your thoughts via this poll:

Although if FLOX engines wins you may have to do another More Fuels update 

[SpaceFace545]

FLOX engines would be amazing. It’s just something kinda novel and interesting. SSME engines are alright too but I feel like they wouldn’t fill many niches.
