Amazing! Do you also plan on eventually doing 1.875m and maybe 5m self levelling legs sooner or later? They are currently the only sizes missing at the moment iirc, and would fit well with the expansion

It's a good point that I should probably address, huh. I don't find that particularly exciting but may fall into the 'needs'.

Egad! That’s gonna be fricken huge!

I do hope we get a mega-cupola. 
And maybe an IVA for that because it would be cool to have a mega space window

Stuff will have IVAs. I'll definitely regret that.

I'm slogging through the 2.5m part repaint which sucks, weird UVs and poorly designed textures abound. Still, happy with the results in most cases - I'm about halfway done, I think 

To save the boredom, I've been working a lot on the next thing, which is, as some may have guessed, 5m station parts to further expand the expansion expansion. heh. You can expect to see:

• 2 habitation cans
• 2 logistics modules (well, one chopped into two lengths)
• 2 adapters
• A science module
• A greenhouse
• A station command core
• A single large centrifuge
• Perhaps a couple of unique 5m type parts. 

 

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jcking]

Since the 1.25 and 2.5m parts will get a new insulated texture, will the pressurized variants of the octo-girder parts get that same treatment?

WHO!? Last I heard you said you would almost certainly NOT be doing 5m station parts due to the undeniable nightmare that is huge IVAs...!

I am equally thrilled to hear this as I am worried about your sanity 

In the meantime here's another look at the awesome new 1.875 modules. A little less jumbled this time and easier on the eyes, something vaguely reminiscent of Zarya-Zvezda.

Alternate view with Endeavor and Unity docked.

I think it maybe was me and @Spaceman.Spiff

To be fair it was actually @Apelsin who figured it out.

and a long time ago we (as the nertea dev thread people) discussed the 5m parts, and I showed a picture of some big ship concept art thingy that I thought might (only might) be related artwise to the parts

[SpaceFace545]

@Nertea I doubt you take suggestions but I think it would be cool if you added a "hangar" part. Like the existing 5m cargo bays but more stationy.

(I created my account finally to say this - I've been lurking for years. On the bright side, this comment did motivate me to at least de-lurk and perhaps make a very very small mod I've been researching.)

This post has motivated me to also de-lurk (I have posted a few bug reports but not much more), and want to second this point.

The effort Nertea puts into this project for free is mind-boggling, and makes me want to come back to KSP each time  something is released (more so than the official patches).

Now that's something to make a late-game surface base from!

Nice! Yes I developed a few more time saving techniques for the IVAs and they seemed to get good results with the 1.875 set. That and motivation being a weird thing, often if I am happy with something I made, I will want to expand on it.

Thanks, statements like this mean a lot.

It's not really in scope, the only thing that I would consider would be a flatter cargo nose, the NFLV parts are good enough otherwise.

QUEM!? A última vez que ouvi que você disse que quase certamente NÃO faria partes da estação de 5m, devido ao pesadelo inegável que são enormes IVAs ...!

Estou igualmente emocionado em ouvir isso, pois estou preocupado com sua sanidade mental 

Enquanto isso, aqui está outra olhada nos novos módulos 1.875. Um pouco menos confuso desta vez e mais fácil para os olhos, algo que lembra vagamente o Zarya-Zvezda.

Vista alternativa com Endeavour e Unity ancorados.

It looks different than what I have here ... Is this in the mod? Or is it a closed beta version?

It’s an open beta 

Get it from the 2-0-0 branch on GitHub.

@lemon cup Can you tell me the graphic mod you are using? Because that looks awsome.

Just TUFX and Distant Object Enhancement, and thank you. I’d share my profile but like many folks I’m always tweaking them slightly and screwing them up

If you can share it I would like to give it a try. Oh, and because we are here, @Nertea Looks absolutely glorious, I trough you were not doing the interior?

[jimmymcgoochie]

I for one welcome the new Station Parts Expansion Redux Expansion- Now With Even More IVAs!* Excellent quality, as always.

* I don’t actually look at IVAs most of the time and often delete them to save RAM and boost performance, but I can appreciate the effort that went into making them- especially that fish module!

[Nertea]

First part.

That is MASSIVE. 
It looks to me like the station core. 

[SpaceFace545]

@Nertea those bags in the inside rim look alot like cargo storage, Is it correct this is more of a logistics module or even a radiation shelter?

Looks ASTOUNDING, but I'm not quite sure how to use such plumpy parts in-game

With other big parts of course!
