Improved mystery goo or something? It still has an “organic” feel to it without actually being an animal experiment.

Okay, @Jebihean Kerman I made a guide for installing BDB. Hope it helps. https://imgur.com/a/TxsWJjW

Nothing quite like checking in right after a release and seeing a whole new pile of parts to look at! Congrats on getting BDB 1.6 out @CobaltWolf, and I'm looking forward to seeing these older rockets get a makeover as well.

I'm sorry, did I hear man on the moon in '61?

That looks awesome! I know you haven’t in the past, but would you be willing to add some proper fairings for these early launchers as well as the normal fairing bases? KSP and procedural fairings just can’t do some of their weird shapes justice.

Hey, so uh.. is there a particular reason the old titan parts look all rusty now? Or was this just a neat freak occurrence? (I'm using the newest dev version btw)

I found a pretty decent image of it (easier said than done). You can see how the entire engine is covered in the insulation.

Okay, that WOULD be amazing to see. But until then my comment of realism will just have to refer to the “I want to make a Saturn that looks like the real one!” idea. Plus, it’s cool to have a thermally shielded F-1.

Realism. The actual Saturn V launched with thermal insulation on the engines.

Here’s the issue I see with your solar panels just in general when compared with restock, etc. Right now the solar panels are just blueish squares placed over a grey background, and it looks somewhat cartoonish when placed next to the high quality textures of the rest of the mod. This is nothing against you, it just shows how mod has been trending more to realism recently and the solar panels haven’t caught up. It’s nothing more than another set of parts you’ll probably want to update at some point I think.

I’ve always been a fan of the old US rockets, and I can’t wait to see how they turn out! The models are looking amazing so far.

https://github.com/CobaltWolf/Bluedog-Design-Bureau/tree/Development?files=1 Usually, with some exceptions, even if a mod says it’s for an earlier version it’ll still work fine. But here’s the dev branch for BDB. Hey, it was two in the morning when I typed that. Cut me some slack! Thanks for the correction though.

SoonTM Don't take my word for it, but I think we might actually be getting kinda close to an update. @CobaltWolf has made the main focus of this update surround Gemini, and I think he’s nearing completion on it for now (feel free to yell at me if I’m totally wrong here). Other than that, we have the usual odds and ends that get thrown in, but we might be close to an update. Also, with no guarantees on stability, the development branch on github has a BDB build that you can use in 1.7, plenty of us on here do that.

This felt like a fitting tribute to the 50 year anniversary of our first landing on the moon!

It might be about time to start removing the old Titan parts from the game. I know that’s why I had an issue finding the new Titan IV parts in the VAB a little while back. Deleted the old ones and the new ones just popped up.
