Im guessing they built up the SoyJuice, added on the faring baseplate upside-down, and set that up correctly then locked the fairings and building the rest of the rocket.

Wow. Again with the rudeness. Let me fix that for you: "Orion, I don't think the G90 is powerful enough for a good launch vehicle first stage. Could you make a small cluster similar to the r-7/Soyuz engines, please?" Seriously, it's really disheartening as a modder and a community member so see this kind of thing. EDIT: Orion. These parts are beautiful. I will pot screenshots of my creations with your parts when I get the chance, but it might not happen until after the forums upgrade to Vbulletin 5.1

It's Monday! I'm hoping for good news! (Don't feel rushed or anything though, I'm just excited because I really want to use this Soyuz OM, as I'm making a Kerbal ISS workalike.)

It's for RP, fun, and just messing around. Just look at EnterElysium's WorldWar K series on youtube! It's epic!

No, it's not just you. As far as I can tell, Roll control is reversed, and the overview is upside down. (Also nice to see your still dropping in the odd easter egg.) Like the eye of sauron looking pencil tower on the tiny moho like planet close to the sun.

Oh wow, am I blind or what? XD

Why can we not give Rep in the space lounge? This is so, SO rep worthy! EDIT: Duuuude, this is so freaking cool! It's epic, it looks really good, and hell, I reckon you could probably give KSP a run for it's money if you keep up with this. Everything looks awesome, and even though it is hard to control, you can actually set up orbits, to a point. Also, I had no idea you could actually break individual parts of the probe. The first thing I did was just crash outright. Then I managed to land, and hover over to a hopper cube, and while trying to experiment with what effects a rocket engine exhaust would have on it, it jumped and knocked off the engine! Just a couple of points: Major, major lag if you fall into the gas planet, and you can see a bit of glitchyness when you get closer to planets, as if the "render range" was moving to encompass the planet. That, and you might want to look into your gravity physics. I set up and orbit really low over the sun, which I dubbed Helios (Not at all a suggestion for a name... no... of course not... *shadily looks around*), but I kept on receiving a kick at PeriHe. I wasn't firing thrusters, and as far as I know the planets weren't in line with me, so I don't think N-body physics are coming into it at all. Also, you spawn upside down, at least compared to the overview mode. Also, I think a navball is needed. It would make things a thousand times easier, as it is so hard for me to get my bearings without it sometimes. Might just be me though. Overall, for a first pre-pre-alpha, this is brilliant, and a lot of fun.

Beautiful. Truly Beautiful. Will those fairings allow for a true Soyuz abort? (LAS pulls Fairings, OM and pod away, and the pod pops out the bottom and deploys it's chutes.) Because much Kudos to you if it does. And those solar panels, oh kod they are things of beauty. I will offer this suggestion though: Make your own LES tower/LAS. The stock one does not do your parts justice, and I think one more LES/LAS would be brilliant. Right now, we have stock LES, and an Aerojet Kerbodyne/Orion LES, so a Russian/Soyuz themed LES would be brilliant. It would make the perfect trio, and you would do brilliant job with it. Oh, and here's some rep, for good measure. #TotallyNotABribeOrAnything EDIT: Just looked through some previous pages, and that Pumpkin lander can is so kawaii!

Well, we are talking about a game where you build rockets. If you don't escalate quickly you're gonna have a bad time.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what is happening. Also, the panels are waterproof and have inbuilt heaters (Or were they lamps?) to melt snow.

Oh my kod... Constant, whiny, repeated, unwanted posts on people's threads. Jeez man, modders have lives you know, and they can't always work on things all of the time. Not only that, but bugging people over it won't get it done faster, in fact, it slows them down. They sit there, and they read posts from annoying users, and it demotivates them, it makes them feel bad about it, it makes them question why they want to spend their own free time working on something that goes to an ungrateful whiner. I'm expecting this post to get removed by the powers that be, but seriously, consider the things you are writing from another persons standpoint. OrionKermin. Good job, I like the new OM. A lot. Like, I will use it forever, a lot. GJ man, GJ.

Well, they are actually talking about that. Look at some of the more recent tech articles from I ******* Love Science, and the IFLS website, they talked about it. Considering that they think it could provide enough power to provide for the entire US, I think that it will pay for itself the minute it goes live.

That has to be my most favourite fail ever, of all time.

Why did my score almost half?

Oho! I get it now! Man, I haven't watched that in what, over 4 years? Damn. Stop making me feel old, I'm only 15. (Also, I wasn't saying it was accidental, I just thought you had forgotten about it.)

Blackheart, I found something in an older install. Something that looks very nice, and something I think you could do great things with. The Shenron. Is it still being worked on? It looks awesome, and fits some of my design ideas very nicely. (Though, I would bump up crew count to at least 5. There would be a lot of unused space in that pod as is, you could probably get away with up to seven.

Neil. DeGrasse. Tyson. 'Nuff said.

Massive anime fan here, and I have to say, Planetes is pretty good. That said, it never really captured me. I'd have to say my favourite anime is Code Geass, with a close second of Mirai Nikki or Shingeki No Kyogin. While they aren't so realistic, I find them a bit more immersive, more real to me, than planets was.

I personally don't like the idea of an IVA that will be almost identical in visibility and functionality to the stock MK1 pod. I think that even the M-1 would be a better send off project, simply for the fact that an engine or probe core adds more to the game than an IVA that will be pretty to look at but have no true functionality.

Bonuses: Thin Air: 1.5 Fly over 10,000m high Yeager Breaker: 1.5 Break the speed of sound (340m/s over land) Keepin' the Snacks In: 2 Don't do a flip Unmanned Advantage: 3 Fly over 2200m Bonuses come out to 8. Distance is 31,455. 4 wings were used. 8 * 1/4 * 31455 = 62,910. Not the most amazing score, but easy enough and fun to do. (EDIT: Don't mind the glitch displays, that's just VOID being buggy. It adds no parts and gives me no advantage in a challenge like this.)

Why not just copy the node structure over from one of the KW fairing bases instead of trying to do it manually? Work smart, not hard.

Something I've been wondering since the start, why are your rear gears so far forward? I can understand the placement if the craft was an SSTO, or meant to take off horizontally at all, but as it is, I would expect the gear to be much further rearward, and it would give a lot more clearance for flaring and landing. Loving the design though, BTW.

Just define a new SRB fuel that can flow, and eventually someone can make a plugin that makes it not able to be abused with fuel pumps.

LKO velocity is ~2.3Km/s LEO velocity is ~7.5Km/s Drag and Gravity losses on kerbin amount to about 2.2Km/s stock, and about 1.2Km/s with a more realistic drag model. (FAR) Drag and Gravity losses on earth, comes to ~1.9Km/s. So, it's between 3 and 5 times harder to get into earth orbit than KSP. Just to put this into perspective, you could use the real Saturn V in KSP to go to, land on and return to kerbin from Eeloo, with boatloads of fuel to spare. Whereas your standard Jool rocket in KSP could barely get you into LEO...

Jeez, talk about rude. PJ, good to see this released. Your epic work deserves more attention that it currently gets. Also, is the included Probe Core just a small MK2 segment?
