Cuky Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I had up until now 4 launches with crewed Rodan capsule on Ghidorah 9 rocket and all were successful. Nice and easy rocket to fly and Rodan is really becoming my workhorse for LKO and transfer of Kerbals to Mun station. Trunk is feeling a bit lonely though as I don't have anything useful to put inside, but after I return my crew from Duna I plan to install TAC LS mod, so there will be something for trunk section to do, other then provide electrical power.Still haven't tried to recover 1st stage of Ghidorah though, but I expect to try it soon.

skyllaking Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Well, I really like this mod but... the capsule hurts my computer's performance by quite a bit... I've not got a very good computer, but it usually runs better than when I use Rodan! Also, the top of the capsule with the cap and whatnot... I have yet to find a practical docking port that will fit in there correctly.I use the docking port that comes with the SDHI Orion mod, it includes a parachute so you actually have both the docking port and the backup parachute covered with 1 part.I had up until now 4 launches with crewed Rodan capsule on Ghidorah 9 rocket and all were successful.

tygoo7 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) So I restarted the main pod texture because I honestly did not like it. It was a bit messy TBH. Luckily I made a better UV map and texturing is going well in the first 10 minutes!EDIT: Btw I made a new logo. It's in the OP.

Don't know about the Falcon Heavy since it's literally just 2 F9s strapped on the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenomousRequiem Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Huzzah! Is there a way to integrate the shroud into the solar panel itself and just have it decouple on a staging event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tygoo7 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I'm streaming current development if anyone wants to join. Thought it would be fun to stream so if any of you want to join, here's the link!http://www.twitch.tv/tygoo7EDIT: Streams over, since no one was watching. I'll probably do more development streams in the future though. Probably when I'm texturing the IVA or something.
