I chose not to make it a full RGB light because:

What's so bad about RGB's? I've always wanted to match my Soyuz to my PC setup

[[1.1] AB Launchers 1.2 - 5m Energia parts [22 Apr]]

@Beale In my opinion the only thing that was "bad" about AB is that the Zenit and the Energia had color schemes that don't go that well together (brown & black).

@CobaltWolf lol, I wanted to watch the stream replay in school but it wouldn't load and in the same moment you decided to upload these, the engine looks great, is this going to be part of bdb or a new mod?

It looks great! the rcs thrusters would also look good with this color in my opinion (it would make them very unique because most of the mods just use black)

the download he posted seems pretty optional to me...

I'm talking about the current LK, not the super old one

It's not really useful, sadly - very glitchy and makes the part too single-use.

I have an example of a two-stage LK here, quite old, but it gives you an idea of some of the problems.

Thanks!

It would be nice to have a two stage version as an optional download

@Beale I couldn't find any pictures of the progress without the thermal blanket but I did found this:

You can clearly see in this picture that there is some kind of a buldge in the middle.

Edit: do you have roadmap/specific parts you are planning to make after finishing Mir/Progress?

Edit 2: Her drawings are cool

What parts did you use to make the Gemini lander portion?   Also, what was the plan to return or was it just a Rescue mission no matter what?

I used procedural parts with textures from here (they match BDB quite nicely), I had an ascent+return stage that had one lem engine but it blew up on landing

@CobaltWolf Better? (actually this reshade tool is very capable, it's a 100% ingame shot)

That san interesting one, but I'd weigh in and say that the real Soyuz re-entry capsule doesn't  jettision is heat shield like others, it only really sheds it immediately prior to landing when the soft landing rockets fire.

Actually I watched the livestream of the Soyuz MS-02 landing a few weeks ago and it jettisoned its heatshield quite high, I'd say something like 5-10 minutes prior to landing

[[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [26.0][18.12.2023][Things are happening]]

@Beale What about separating to Soyuz heatshield like on the VA? it makes everything more modular and it's just kinda weird that one capsule has an integrated heatshield and the other don't

idea...

 

I think that the RD0120 is roughly 1.8 meters when scaled to kerbal size

EDIT: I've also found THIS SITE, It looks really old and it's kinda hard to navigate but it got alot of information and cool photos

[[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [26.0][18.12.2023][Things are happening]]

Is there a way to keep the N1 engine shroud on the engine when using block b or v as first stage (on an N11 for example)?
