  1. Does that mean the bulge will be 1.5m? Or the core will be 1.5? (pls be the second one)
  2. I personally would greatly appreciate seeing more obscure old stuff get done; old space is far more fascinating to me than new space. New space stuff is all too clean and boring to me. Are you saying you'd basically do your own take on the Tantares LV, and then add more parts for additional stages? (the real question... what diameter of the stages...?)
  3. Yeah, I know. The Rhea was pretty directly inspired by it + the HTV. Come to think of it, I wonder if you can adapt the AARDV modules for use with the Transtage, make a Rhea Block 2 or something. Or even just Tweakscale them. Though a nearly flat 1.875m > 2.5m adapter would be hella useful. For those that haven't seen it and don't know what we're talking about, this is the Apollo-derived logistics vehicle that serviced Freedom in the 90s/late 80s, presumably continuing into the 2000s (but the focus of the timeline moves away from Freedom).
  4. @hraban that looks awesome! Reminds me of the color scheme of the old TLV, which I've sorely missed!
  5. @Constan7ine thanks for the heads up! I don't officially support any IVAs (and I don't make any myself), so any IVAs in the mod were scavenged from elsewhere and bashed to fit. I don't think the Big G pod every got any sort of IVA. @Daelkyr (yes I'm throwing you under the bus) would the FASA Big G IVA work? Does it even have one? The Gemini lander doesn't have any sort of IVA and I doubt there are any that fit.
  6. The last two stages are already in the mod. The first two are modeled and just need a few hours to throw together a UV and texture.
  7. But what about the Tug version...? Idk they just never mentioned it. And yeah, I'm starting to get these textures down to a 45 minute process
  8. I accidentally switched gears again.Y'all should start learning to take what you can get from my now, I'm a rebel with no release roadmap cause. Kānaloa! Note that it still has the Apollo decoupler in these shots. It will be replaces with a same height/size control block without a decoupler. You also get AARDV Tug once that control block is in, since it's just sticking an Apollo docking port directly on top of it in place of the cargo module. I guess the block 2 version has a CADS port instead?
  9. Oh. 0.0 Wow. Yeah, the top blows out which basically zeroes the thrust because it goes out both ends. And to answer your question, it's because some decision maker in Congress has constituents that make money off using SSMEs instead of RS-68s...
  10. God I hope so, since I'm probably using his configs and plugins too EDIT: I just checked, all his art assets are ARR. I will have to see if I can get permission.
  11. Noodling a rough model in Maya is the fast part. Talk to me again once I start UV unwrapping. I worked on it some more earlier today, started getting the ATM modeled... finding orthographic reference for that thing is a pain, as it turns out. I'll be bouncing between that and the Apollo stuff and probably some other things. I don't have a set plan/schedule for what will be in the next release, other than a big balance pass on the new stuff once everything for 1.2 is updated and we can get some more serious playtesting done; I don't think they're (over)performing the same as the other LVs.
  12. Apparently I'm a huge toolbox. Yesterday I made this while I was letting particle simulations cache on a lab computer. I uploaded it to imgur. And promptly forgot to post it. Apparently.
  13. @theend3r probably hasn't been updated yet. Everything but the telescope was made stock in 1.1. I assume the telescope will be updated eventually.
  14. We actually forgot to make Tweakscale configs for this update... I've already got some really cool projects for the OP going with other people, but more couldn't hurt. I am getting ready for classes right now, I'll try and upload them in a bit.
  15. Yup! Whaddaya need, how do you want it? they wont load unless I go back and change all the part categories. And that's at best a temporary solution.
  16. Was able to take the new screenshots for the manual. Uploaded them to Imgur for your viewing pleasure. Yes, they're dark. I know.
  17. @PickledTripod in any case, I'm starting to suspect that our efforts to nerf the Sarnus series were a bit too effective. Every part in that series has it's fuel amounts liberally rounded down, the weights liberally rounded up, etc. I think that once the dust settles a bit with everything, there will be another big cleanup pass on those parts, both the art (there are some details that I wanted to put in that got forgotten in the push to get it released) and the balance.
