Hello there. First, congratulations to every single one of the people working on this magnificent mod for us who pay attention to more than what NASA does. This mod has been serving me for quite some time (even tho this is my first post, I have played for years) to replicate Soviet spacecraft, and, as I also love Energia, I wanted to download the launchers mod mostly for the beautiful tank textures. Upon seeing the engines, I built Zenit (as I already had the parts unlocked in the career savegame I was playing atm) and noticed it was way overpowered in relation to stock game (or so it seems to me). Especially ISP were realistic, but way higher than normal "nerfed" ISP in KSP. Maybe they are indeed stock-balanced, but it didn't quite seem to me, as just changing the engines from a craft I was working on to some of this mod's engines inmediately raised my deltaV.
I've seen in this thread and other reddit threads that this parts are intended to be balanced for the "2.5x Stock Scale RSS" mod, but, as this mod has not been updated for versions higher than the not-so-ancient but not-quite-new KSP 1.2.2, I wonder if the part balance has been changed. It certainly appears to fall short of normal 10x RSS.
Obviously, I know the mod description still says "Q. Why are the rockets overpowered? My Soyuz can put 15 tons into low orbit? A. They are balanced against stock parts, as to not be intentionally useless.[LINK TO 2.5x RSS]", but it doesn't make all that much sense to me in the current state of the game. Obviously, I know updating and rebalancing so many parts would be really hard, if not impossible.
I do not want to sound over-critizising, as I really love your mod and will keep using all of the little bits and spacecraft parts of your mod, my favourite parts mod so far.
Sorry for the inconvenience as I would really hate to have created my account to ask this honest question and find out that it has already been answered in a clearly visible place, but I haven't been able to find the answer.
Cheers.
