CTT is great, but the thing is I can't assume that everyone has it, and I don't want to make it a dependency, since at the end of the day, we don't 'need it'. I generally dislike messing with cfgs when I could be modeling and texturing, so I don't want to try and maintain two different tech trees. For what it's worth, we have some old CTT compatibility configs. They're outdated though and are missing all the new stuff, so they need to be updated.

Yes, Muo V is Atlas V. I wonder what happened to @IronCretin's real names config... I'd love to have the entire mod ported to RO, especially given how much stuff has never been done before such as Vega. I also personally would like to play it with consistent art and ~aesthetic~ tankage; I've never enjoyed the current mish-mash of stockalike, 'realistic' (which, IMO, are generally low quality from a texturing POV), and ugly stretched PP textures... I personally don't like the look of pretty much any of the current generation of LVs, now that we've moved from upgraded missile derivatives to more purpose built rockets. I just don't like the smooth and/or curvy plastic look, or piles of spray-on foam. I guess that's partially why I make an exception for Atlas V - it's still sorta made out of paneled metal. There isn't enough room in the stock tech tree to space things out like that. It needs to be twice as long, minimum. Since creating a better tech tree, frankly, isn't my job... I just want it to work 'good enough' in the stock one. Our issue is more things like certain parts unlocking several nodes before the rest of their related parts, etc.

I mean, I'm not gonna come to your house and stop you, if that's what you're asking.

Oh snap I didn't catch that it was you. I thought you'd died.

Uhhhh... have no idea. I'll probably figure it out when I get home tonight. Two quick things: Thanks to our 5 Patreon donors for the month of November! I greatly appreciate your support of the mod. Nobody asked me to give them a shout out on the thread, so for the two I know, I've thanked you in person already. The other three - thank you so much! Additionally, we have a sort of 'Help Wanted/Now Hiring' thing. Currently the BDB tech tree placements are fairly suspect. Would anyone be interested in doing an 'audit' of the stock tech tree nodes for all the parts? I noticed a lot of stuff out of whack when I was looking at the tech tree the other day - to the point that it was overwhelming. The MOS and Apollo/LEM stuff was particularly egregious, but there was a lot of other stuff that looked out of place. Since none of us have a lot of time to actually play the game (since we're busy, well, making stuff!) a lot of strangeness in the progression has gone unnoticed. Please see this Github issue for more info.

@Avera9eJoe I actually experienced some more weird issues - it seemed to mess with the specularity of the entire pod, maxing it out so the whole pod was always blown out. Would you be able to take a look at the dropbox link I posted and see if I did something wrong? Sorry for forgetting to follow up on this - my computer was running out of RAM after I threw a couple visual mods into my install and so I got rid of all of them.

Stop I'm making inappropriate noises in class...

Scout and J-2T beta now on Github! The old Antares needs some work I'm afraid... Grab the craft file to see how I built Scout - it needs RCS for control on the second and third stages. They're disabled on launch - AG1 activates the stage 2 (Castor) RCS, and AG2 activates the stage 3 (Antares) RCS. EDIT: Bonus Titan 3BAS2 launch - been waiting a while to be able to build this...

Well, that system has three components: 4 geostationary satellites, with an on-orbit spare; 4 ground stations; and the handheld radio sets. He is head of the engineering team that designed the handhelds So actually he didn't have anything to do with the payloads but leave me alone

Is that a laptop? More just out of curiosity, I've seen some lower-end desktops that use them these days. Yeah, simply put, you need more hardware. RAM would be a start. 8gb is pretty much the minimum these days, especially if you want to have other programs (Chrome, Discord) in the background. If you're on a laptop, that's probably the only thing you can upgrade - make sure to do a ton of homework and then some. Laptops generally aren't easy to put back together. Again, assuming you're using a laptop, I would very much recommend against overclocking. That will make the hardware less stable, and moreover, it'll make your computer run hotter - most laptops already have cooling issues which is why they're underclocked to begin with. And this is more just hearsay by me, but all the AMD APU laptops I've interacted with seem to run hot to the touch already. If it's an option for you, there are a lot of build guides out there for building a desktop for <$500 or so that would competently play KSP.

@Nnimrod dunno. I would appreciate something like that tho.

J-2T-200K cryognic annular aerospike engine... (Yes the top with the pipes isn't really detailed but you typically would never see it anyways...

It took me a moment to realize we were still talking about Orion. I guess, on a related note, I tried using the Kane CM with SDHI and unfortunately the meshes don't line up. Also, today is the last day to sign up as a November supporter on Patreon! Promise this is the last time I'll plug it out of context - I'll probably mention it in my release posts. EDIT: Got bored doing homework, took a break... EDIT: Also, the Apollo nearly-flat structural adapter is now up on Github! 2.5m on one end, and features not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different sizes of end caps!

Beale has them on a google drive, you'll have to ask for a link to the Soyuz folder.

google 'nvidia texture tool'. You need to have the plugin, PhotoShop doesn't natively open DDS.

In my defense, my dad's payloads were launched on Atlas V (hint is in the name of the family in game). And Atlas V is coppery metal and not spray on insulation. And the 401 is aesthetic as hell.

I propose renamed it to the ESA 'Indigineous Peoples' module.

I have... uh... 'Castors'... but they weren't based on anything in particular honestly. @Angel-125, is it possible to use WBI mesh switched to switch between angled and straight/inline nozzles? Additionally, can it be used to switch meshes in a moduleJettison?

Man I feel inspired now... (Note that the Scout 3rd and 4th stages, along with the fins, are already in the mod.

lol I don't make IVAs. It has a basic one right now, I'm trying to get my IVA peeps to take a look at it when they have time. It's in BDB. Click the big blue thing in my signature.

Dunno. However long it takes me? Stuff gets done as fast as I can get it usually Why make ugly modern rockets when there is LDC Titan and CELV Atlas to plunder 3.125m parts from?

Can AutoCAD even output polygons..? How much control do you have over the polycount? (Psst, if you don't like Blender, look into getting a student license of Maya)

oh jeez no I don't want that on my conscience

I have it on good authority that there is a BDB-alike SLS (not by me) coming down the road... (I'm serious / not joking) I have no life. I basically just drink and make KSP parts. EDIT: If you haven't seen it, click the roadmap button in my sig. It's not very updated, especially for the newer Saturn/Apollo/LEM derived plans. There's a fair amount of stuff that I have reference material for that I haven't put in yet. Let me know if anything in particular strikes your fancy; I've been known to change plans based on what gets people excited.

where are the russian probes i dont see them in the download
