    Prepare for photofall! Pictures from my latest Tantares campaign. This one is focused on using the American conic spacecraft design.

    Thanks to how much I use Tantares, I can't look at this shape and not think "Soyuz": ......mmmmmmmmm chocolate Soyuz......

    I understand now what you are aiming for. Frankly that sounds a lot more interesting than what I suggested! Thanks for hearing me out though.

    I just meant making the TKS parts blue to match the Gemini. They already go together really well, so maybe it's not the most important thing to do.

    Hey thanks for putting this together! This is quite neat, and an awesome companion mod to Tantares. - - - Updated - - - One possible thing you could do would be to recolor the TKS orbital blocks from Tantares to match the Gemini and Mercury. That way one could make a MOLE-style laboratory that all matched.

    That new lander part is going to be very useful!

    Not quite; it was more like five N1s strapped together. They were all suppose to stage at the same time. Sadly after stagging the second stage it sort of fell apart.

    Finally sat down and made a proper MTK-VP, my favorite alt-history space shuttle. - - - Updated - - - Directly Ascented:

    Only slightly

    I was able to build a pretty handy little Mun probe using a number of different Tantares parts:

    Long term Tantares project? Source

    Thanks! I kind of want to make an unmanned version using the TKS cargo bay. - - - Updated - - - Indeed! I think just about any kind of landing gear might help. Maybe also take the MOAR PARACHUTES route. It flew pretty well; there was definitely a lot of wobbling, but thankfully the Proton's engines had enough gimble to counteract this. I going to try and correct these issues in version 2.0!

    Part Gemini, part TKS, part Kliper, and all Proton: It's like every space design got together had a child!

    That's a nice engine!

    That's...more than a little horrifying...I may never eat bread again.

    And thanks for the beta, Beale!

    They're not the most visually exciting, that's generally true. Looking at some of the alternate proposals that NASA got back in 2006, and it's kind of a shame they went with Orion, another cone:

    The beta's going great!

    The new ship is really shaping up nicely. I do like the color scheme for it as well.

    Beale! I'm so happy! Sad of course to hear that the Apollo D2 is discontinued (Long live the D2!) but this new little Tantini (Gemares?) is such a good replacement. Between that, the VA pod, and the Spektr pod it is possible to have a really good progression of spacecraft outside of the Vostok, Zond, Soyuz line. I'm very excited! Also, for my taste I kind of prefer the smaller windows; Soviet spacecraft have never seemed to be too concerned with that sort of thing. Obviously this isn't a real Soviet spacecraft though! You always do such a good job making replicas of spacecraft; it's great to see you branching out a bit into your own designs with the Spektr and this little guy.

    How are things coming?
  23. DGatsby
    Just add more fuel tanks, right?
  24. DGatsby
    Congrats on the release, and thank you! I've been in the Kerbal community since 2012, and this is one of the best mods ever made. And you, Beale, are one of the best mod authors!
  25. DGatsby
    Now those are some nice adapters!
