I'd love to post a screenshot of the problem, but I can't figure out how. Edit: The RD-58 Snostormvingen has the same problem. Should be fixed if you have the latest version of TantaresLV and latest version (0.6+) of waterfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transformatron Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 @BealeJust thought to log back into the KSP forums, the new Mira module looks great! Thanks for updating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Another LK descent burn, à la Stanley Kubrick. I'm sure there's an appropriately discordant György Ligeti piece to accompany this shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, we will use B9, with many new exciting possibilities! Stay tuned. Maybe @Zorg could use this texturing to make Atlas and Centaur shiny as well. Also Beale, these textures are amazing!!

Anachro Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Hope for some improvement for TKS current TKS just borrow RCS thrusters and Docking radars from soyuz while in reality, the Chelomei solutions are so different Not just because want to be more accurate But don't you think these little multi-thruster monsters are COOL and want the iconic little dish antennas back https://imgur.com/RI9DK51 Edited March 25, 2021 by Anachro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starhelperdude Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 this is BOR-5, it seems to be a subscale reentry test vehicle for buran, flown on a kosmos 2 or 3, I even saw it IRL, it is quite small but still taller than a human Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, it's an Orbiter forum meme of sorts from 2005-ish, got carried over to the KSP forums during its founding in 2011, and forgotten because of a forum software update that deleted the Probe (Luna 3) emoji.

The extended antennas seem to be mimicking the olimpian salute, to call it by its less controversial name. Get it? Heil! A good-ish joke, maybe out of taste for some. Hey @Beale is polyus going inside the TantaresSP portfolio, or regular Tantares? If you are taking suggestions, maybe put it in SP. It is a payload after al (on the other hand it is also a spacecraft too like the soyuz so idunno). Besides main Tantares already has a zillion parts already, maybe it would be nice to distribute them around somewhat.

That's not it. hailprobe is a part of forum history, the camera shutters just look like shutters, the antennae look more like insect legs. 5 minutes ago, Daniel Prates said: main Tantares already has a zillion parts already, maybe it would be nice to distribute them around somewhat. I mostly agree, and Polyus/Skif is mainly uncrewed so SP sounds good. But FGB is in main Tantares, so it'll be incomplete if you just get SP without the main mod (does anybody do that?)

I am talking about the antennas and not the shutters but now that you mentioned, I can't unsee it. Maybe Freud was right, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!

But FGB is in main Tantares, so it'll be incomplete if you just get SP without the main mod (does anybody do that?) Yeah there are certain craft that blur the line for definite. As a general rule, TantaresSP (Space Probes) is only going to feature spacecraft that go beyond Earth orbit (this is up for debate, but that's at least how I've been categorising it so far). This is why you still got stuff like Progress and Meteor in regular Tantares, since they are Earth Orbit. True enough though, one mod is very large. I think if I could freely split them up (This isn't likely, because I really would need an experienced second pair of hands to help with all the config-heavy legwork): Mod for Soyuz, LK, Vostok (primarily crewed spacecraft?) Mod for orbital stations (this would cover a lot, from TKS, Almaz, to Mir, maybe even Polyus related parts, just large construction). Mod for uncrewed spacecraft for Earth orbit Mod for space probes (hey, we have this one! ) But this is just a loose idea, I think the actual job of splitting things up would get extremely messy fast. Polyus SAF Fairing Did you know this was also used to launch Zarya, and other FGB modules? Edited March 26, 2021 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmateurAstronaut1969 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yeah I love the idea to split Tantares up into smaller, more defined categories - I think it will make it more approachable for players new to modding / players new to tantares - Trying multiple smaller mods instead of a couple of LARGE mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of smaller mods, we have a little SAF expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
