  1. I test-launched LLV-1, it was prob. the fastest launch of a real concept LV that I ever launched 1st stage TWR ranges from 3.5 to 8 I'm glad that they took Castor 120 instead of SR-118 for Athena 1
  2. would it be possible that we could get a white (shell) variant of the Orbus 21 aka the 1st stage of IUS/TOS? It was used on Athena 1 and 2 and was later supposed to be replaced by castor 30 (Athena 1c and 2c) currently it looks like this also, I found something interesting: LLV-1 seems to be a Athena 1 but with a SR-118 (peacekeeper 1st stage) instead of Castor-120 (the Athena first stage) in conclusion: Athena is very weird, and Minotaur is now my favourite PDLV (Peacekeeper Derived Launch Vehicle)
  3. you and ColdJ revived this thread, I'm very thankful
  4. made some purely fictional INTs INT-22 INT-23 INT-24 INT-22 and 24 fly very well, 23 has a bad (but still flyable) TWR
  5. I think he means that S-IVB would be replaced by shuttle, with S-IC and S-II still beeing used on the rocket
  6. I remember that last year, while stuff like thor and the sats where beeing remade, I had no idea how to access the dev branch, but I also didn't have the courage to ask how I could access it. But since someone else asked for it I know it since then
  7. I've encountered some problems with INT-17: -If I replace the HG-3s with RL-20s on the first stage, the TWR is ~0.8-0.9 (this factors in the tank stretches, a completely unstretched INT-17 [which I call INT-17A, which is entirely made up by me] flies well with just RL-20 -J-2T400K works effectively on the streched INT-17 [which I call INT-17B, also entirely made up], but IIRC (please correct me if I'm wrong) HG-3 will be removed at some point, and since J-2T400K uses a HG-3 powerhead it would make sense (atleast to me) to also remove J-2T400K -Sadly, J-2T and J-2T-250K feature a SL performance too low to effectively use them on INT-17(B) so, I've came up with 2 fictional INT-17 variants as I mentioned -INT-17A: Standart tank lengths, only uses RL-20 -INT-17B: Streched, uses J-2T400Ks on the 1st stage and 1 J-2T400K or J-2T250K on the 2nd stage
  8. I would personally prefer parts from a successful, flown sattelite program and parts for a extensively studied program that had a real chance to fly than literally just a bigger saturn 5 with some more engines and fuel, without any real payload to launch on, while it uses tank diameters that would be exclusively used by it, and not by any other parts
  9. it was mental torture to hear about AJ-260 is coming but you have to go to school, but since I'm at my pc now I can build INT-5 and Saturn-5-D
  10. hmmm, I can't seem to find the multibody fairing and the copper (or whatever that stuff is on multibody first stages) coatings in my game EDIT: ah, now I know how you buildt the multibody
