    With two girder segments instead of one truss it should only have minimal Impact... xD Never mind, I'm just kidding. Although it's still interresting.
  2. Jester Darrak
    Dude, that truss inside your PD-32 is a little bit cheaty, won't you say so?

    Okay, then sending them to Minmus with Station Modules was a bad move on my side.

    Didn't your autonomous launcher's second stages (Thunder 3&4 series) used to have an antenna?
  5. Jester Darrak
    Wait, is that a 1.875m adaptor between the fuel tank and the large docking port? Is the drone core still accessible?
  6. Jester Darrak
    If only there was a octagonal strut for 2.5m parts...

    Although I'm somewhat busy/occupied these days I did a little peek at the revised EV-2C (my favorite EV) and I must say that the new Terrier engine fits perfectly. I never was a fan of the EV-2C with either the Swivel or the old Terrier. But then again it shows how much planning and thinking @Raptor9 puts in his crafts. A visual overhaul might be quite dramatic (See: Poodle engine) but none the less it still works out with minor corrections, looking even better than before. You sir are either a fortune teller or a genius. Probably both.

    Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes, neues Jahr euch allen! Festliche Grüße aus Deutschland! I wish all of you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Festive greetings from Germany!

    Some time ago I suggested to keep the Poodle on the LITE and put the Wolfhound only onto the NITE to keep the LITE closer towards the ACES (taking the dV losses anyway). Seems like Squad read that and made the Poodle into just that: a perfect ACES analogue upper stage engine. You turn, @Raptor9!

    I could both love and hate the new Mk2 Lander Can. Loving the versarily with the added slim edition but hating the update overall appearence. But the Spark looks awesome!
  11. Jester Darrak
    How did the update affect the EV-2B? Did they fix the drag in the structural tubes?

    I did a quick look at the NASA paper and noticed that the truss' diameter is more like the 3.75m tank than the 2.5m hab. But I guess you chose to have rather a "oversized" tank than an "undersized" hab since KSP is lacking proper 3.75m crew parts. I wonder if you could MacGyver something out of your M3V stuff to make it look like a 3.75m hab.

    Finally, been waiting for those for an eternity!.Additionally I gotta say that once the LITE was my favorite upper stage and go-to for the majority of my missions. But the 'Thunder 2' took it's role. Looks and performance make this one of your best crafts ever. Kudos!

    @Raptor9
  15. Jester Darrak
    I wonder If @Raptor9 got bitten by the bug again...
  16. Jester Darrak
    Narf... xD

    Since we need a dedicated Relay Satellite for the Scarab, which probe out of your catalogue would you suggest in terms of capability, cost and durability? Or did you even have plans for a Deep Space Network?
  18. Jester Darrak
    If I was just able to read... xD
  19. Jester Darrak
    Maybe I'm stupid, but to me it looks like the Scarab Cruise Module is either out of balance itself or very prone to even light weight imbalancies. I strapped a MJ2 case onto it and wasn't able to hold attitude while using the Ant Engines. Additional note: Since MechJeb has it's problems with RCS thrusters I try not to use RCS whenever possible.

    @Raptor9, I just wanted to say that I love your Centaur upper stage analogue. All those 1.875m parts from MH allow highly capable but still very compact and economic crafts that I am twice as Money efficient than in my Last game. The bang for the buck really outclasses the larger parts/vessels for Kerbin SOI exploration. I built a small probe to complete 3 satellite contracts in one flight and still had enough go-juice to send it to Duna/Ike for the fourth contract. Outstanding Work there!

    There is also the option to decouple service modules manually. What I was wondering for a long time now, did you ever consider your Atlas analogues to use a double engine setup instead of the single Mainsail? Maybe the Twin Boar or a similar solution? That would make the Thunder 3 and 4 series even more different.
  22. Jester Darrak
    Although I like the reduction in size and probably biting off a big chunk of the launch cost I must say that the revised ScyCrane looks kinda clumsy, it not fat. But I do like the Rover and it's 'camera'.
  23. Jester Darrak
    What has happened to the Lockheed Martin style Duna Lander/SSTO, the one I suggested bringen christened Dragonfly? Is that still a thing? Because I don't like leaving stuff around that has no purpose anymore.
  24. Jester Darrak
    That, sir, is a monstrousity. And I like it. I like it a lot.
  25. Jester Darrak
    Well, if there is one good use for the engineer class it's operating mining and processing equipment. And the problem with attaching legs myself is to find the right angle an position to bring them in line with the other stuff. Maybe even a dedicated mining control module for the HLV-5 series could be useful. With the cupola on top to give the engineer superb 360 degrees field of view.
