Zeroth.

It's a relay. I've used it as such. It's short range though, but enough to cover, e.g., the far side of the Mun.

The HG-5 is deployable, but it might be too short-range.

Can you make a version of the Thor engine with a 15% narrower bell and no tankbutt for a proposed variant?

Cobalt's working on some new parts on stream tonight:

Most of the sizes I've used are used in mods. a lot of them scale very well to certain historical rockets. 0.9375m, 3.125m and 5.625 are all used in Bluedog Design Bureau for various rockets and stages. For example, the Delta IV, S-IV, and Ares 1 all scale to 3125m, and the Agena stages scale very well to 0.9375m.

I think it's some interaction with the code that adds nodes to deployable ports?

TweakableEverything removes the node, iirc.

I've noticed that a lot of mods use extra sizes besides the stock ones. This is great, and adds a huge amount of flexibility. However, besides a few like 1.875m and 5m, a lot of them are ill-defined, and other aspects, like node size and bulkhead profiles, are even more poorly standardized, and there is often little consistency.

@DiscoSlelge It's fine, I'll just make my own images. Thanks, though. Do you mind if I plagiarize your descriptions?

Here you go: // Rebalance of Cormorant Aeronology STS stack parts for rescaled systems // Values largely based on SpaceY Lifter parts, wich are themselves based on stock values for fuel density, dry mass, etc. // Author: PickledTripod // ET rebalance, LF+O config only @PART[CA_ET] { @mass = 34.65 @description = 5m tank, holds a bigly amount of fuel.

BDB is designed to work with rescaled systems, as it's also a stock-balanced replica pack. As for Cormorant, it's balanced for the stock system, but @PickledTripod made a config for it, that I can link you if you want.

Those are awesome! Can @minepagan, @JoseEduardo, and I use them to make icons for our CWPT mod?

No, but if you made one, I'll bet @Beale would include it as an optional extra.

"MNP"

What's wrong with the attach nodes? If it's just the wrong root docking port, you can actually re-root floating assemblies now.

What are you trying to build? Can you show me a screenshot?

The J-2 isn't first stage, but it uses an interstage, so it might not have a bottom node. I'll load up my install and check.

What engines are you having trouble with? Some of the first stage engines might not have bottom nodes, but as far as I know, almost all the engines have them.

@Jso The MOL unpressurized cargo segment.

I did a MOL test flight: Launch Gemini B Back to the station, for satellite deployment And finally,the science package:

Is there a list of what real-world engines these are based on?

I was bored.

Is the flavor text available anywhere?

That's a known issue. Because Kerbin is so small, replica parts that are scaled and balanced with stock parts are OP in the stock system. If you want realistic performance, try using a 2x or 3x rescale mod.
