@donnager fan That´s bangee 10´s reDirect mod.

Ah okay, thanks Nice to know, probably using that for a future twitch series to bring down load times.

Probably not a good idea in case of BDB because not every part, not even every launcher, has it´s own graphics / texture-sheets (sorry don´t have the correct naming in mind atm) so you could end up breaking multiple parts that you just don´t like to kill if you are not carefull while deleting files. That´s the same reason for the fact that there aren´t any split BDB versions like for Tantares where you got Tantares LV, Spacecraft etc.

Thank you I waited for something like that since the "science only" config of Kerbalism doesn´t work so well in combination with another LS mod. I loved the science feature and the fact that science takes time, now i can have this again without bugging out my whole game.

Exactly my thought to. Atlas V and Delta IV have something in common with their predecessors: Their 2nd stages. When i look at the deltas it was not one but two times that the upper stage was the reason on which the name of the whole vehicle was based. At first they renamed the whole vehicle to get a destinction from the military roots and the second time they evolved the then actual upper stage of the delta III to be used with a new first stage. To me that´s basically the same thing done a second time and this goes okay with me. The same goes for the Atlas V and the Centaur. Atlas came to greatness by combining it with the Centaur-family so it´s such an essential part of the launcher-family that it´s more than just "okay" that they kept the Atlas-name when they made a completely new first stage tankage to make that thing fit for the then future times. Oh i would be surprised if the article would be deleted. In my eyes we got enough reliable sources to verify an article there and it wouldn´t be the first time that a game-mod get´s it´s own article there. I would even like to support such a project. There are so many great KSP-Mods out there and the article written for KSP itself isn´t as detailed as it could be. This game has a history that just got into it´s second decade and BDB was there for more than two thirds of that time, the same goes for projects like mechjeb.

Thank you for the info and: Good luck

Thank you I like it And while we are already speaking about centaur: @Friznit I looked into the ETS-Centaur E-Thing and, based on the fuel weight written down in the ETS-wiki, the closest drop in we can get in BDB would be a Centaur III / Common Centaur with two RL-10-A3´s, later A-4´s or possibly even A-4-N´s for the Saturn Multibody after the IIP-Upgrade (not absolutely shure about the last upgrade and i don´t have the time to take a look in the last ETS-Part for verification).

I saw them, but i think you should go threw the first three articles, like Saturn II , again. It seemed to me like you forgot a word on some places.

Exactly my thought: a crouched Blok D, but i like it. I really like it... perhaps even replacing the Blok D with this thing for some purposes.... let´s try it.

Yes please I like that style And even without beeing an american i am still a bit pi**ed on the us government for killing Constellation. That Project could have been so beautifull if the funding would have been given when it was needed. And all the vehicle conceps they did for the project just look georgeous. The Ares-Launchers (okay Ares I looks cool but don´t speak about the plan to human-rate that thing...), the Altair, the Orion (It looked better before the Service Module was switched out for the ATV-based one that is build by our own ESA), the rover concepts.... and i would have had so much more potential than the SLS-based Artemis. They tried to accept the costly truth: To really replace the Space Shuttle AND to not ONLY go back to the moon but beyond it, you need at least one new clean sheet design. Thank you for your work on this revival project. I already love your SLS-Parts and i am shure that this new mod will (finally) take it´s "must have" place in my installations as well. Thank you.

Wow, what a fast tracked dev-cycle for that addition. Thank you

already planning to do exactly that in the future... just have to unlock the Saturns first.

Okay, i just looked over the last pages because i wanted to reference a bug that was already spoken about: Someone said that, since the BDB update, his Mechjeb is going AWOL. I know: You don´t have anything to do with mech jeb, it´s just that i am wondering what could have happened? And it´s not even that it´s going crazy with the new BDB Probe-Cores only. I really don´t get it. It´s not even that the game is crashing, it´s just that the autopilot makes dump maneuvers in multiple modes / modules. And yes i already tried out a complete reinstal of KSP, it just doesn´t change. And there aren´t any damaged files in the game itself, steam just couldn´t find any. I just wanted to ask if anyone has an idea to of how to fix that first before i make a request to the mechjeb team. And i will wait out the hotfixes / minipatches at first and see if it get´s fixed by then.

Yes please. I read a tease on something like lateral docking ports about a year ago and i loved the idea then and i love it now. Personally i am a dumb idiot regarding to things like docking, but i am no fan of launching to "kerbal sized" ships in one single launch without any fairings or absurdly large fairings around it. So that would be exactly what i need for interplanetary missions.

Happy birthday

A BIIIIIG Thank you to the whole team behind this great mod. Thank your for those many many hundreds of hours you invest into this. I love those new vehicles

Yeah and i think it will take a while until the new stuff is included there. The RO / RP-1 Dev-Teams are releasing new versions pretty slowly at the moment. That´s not meant as critique, but only as an information. I like that they try to work everything out right BEFORE they release anything. That´s something that´s common in the KSP Official-Dev-Team and the Mod-community. And i really really like that. And we all know where this has lead us now: Over a decade of active support by devs and the community and (as it looks) an upcomming sequel that´s developed with good financial and human resources from the start. I really really wish there would be more Game-Devs and Modding-Communitys with this attitude.

Just a little??? Well done

Well done guys .... just one question: How long do we need for the next 1000 Pages? Not another 7 years i think (or so)

It is.... there should ever be the money to repair those monuments of humanity´s first steps in space-travel... and by they way: If you like to have tourists in an area that bring a lot of money with them: you damn need such monuments to show off. What a shame to see such a remarkable, successfull and unconventional designed vehicle destroyed like a old standard highway-bridge.

Looks nice Where are we looking at?

Yeah i know what the performance says, but still: They should have written small but importent details like that directly into their texts, they thought out so many things so good, but they just forgot to do that for some of the vehicles that brought those stations, crews and probes to their destinations. Yeah: We can say that there are probably just 3 RS-27s but do we know that for shure? And: I don´t really see how that should be cost effective in the long term by the way.... in my eyes, without knowing detailed costs of those vehicles, there comes on question into my head: Wouldn´t it be probably cheaper to just stick on the good old Atlas? To me killing off the Atlas so early in favor of this flexible but highly complex and probably "more expansive than needed" system was somekind of a no brainer, as much as i like the idea behind that vehicle. Personally i would have taken somekind of an E-1 revival to propel that thing. Strap one or two engines under a wider tank with more potential for growth and keeping the SRB´s option for later. If i can find out how to write correct configs i would be happy to look into that and do some research to help doing it propperly Wow, thank you both Would be beautifull to see that comming into existence. The Saturn Multibody and the Pegasus-Transferstage are defenitely a great idea and i would choose them over the SLS every single time.

Nice thought, you are right, that fits so good... and i just love that intro sequence, to mee it´s the best one the franchise had yet. Thank you, that´s a beauty. Duna: We are comming

Thanks for the hint

Yeah i can understand that. And i would never demand such a changed mounting. I just saw that you kitbash wasn´t consistent with the story ( I have just read that whole thing again, so it´s only about a week ago sins i read about Pegasus) And i think i will do it like you said: just mount 4 engines on the 6-engine-plate. And... probably i would later use a 6-engine-version with a longer tank anyways for interplanetary missions.
