Not everything, just most of everything. In all seriousness, didn't mean to make it come out like a request, more just how I would do it if I were a modder, while adhering to the focus on my mod. Well, I wasn't saying that in the prospect of make something you're not interested in, more along the lines of, if you feel up to it and you'd like to make it, make it. Don't hold off waiting for someone else to fill the void just to stay inside a "scope". For instance, New Glenn. If you want to add New Glenn to BDB, then do it. I know DylanSemrau has a mod of it, but his is stock-a-like and not semi-realistic like BDB. Another example would be an ESA mod in BDB style. Knes is the only ESA mod in existence, afaik anyway, but it's stock-a-like. I would love to have a BDB level ESA mod. Those are just purely examples though. ESA is far outside the US rockets and spacecraft focus on this mod. I will admit, the incentive is a problem. You're right. But there will always be someone who has a different style or opinion on balance. And creativity often breeds other creativity. Ah, gotcha.

I always wondered why F-1B, now the CW, went open cycle. Any reason? Also, considering BDB and Tantares and to some extent Knes and Commonwealth rocketry are the only IRL rocket mods still in full swing today, I'd say the "space" isn't being filled as much as it should be. I think a better approach would be, "We'll make it, but if anyone comes along and wants to make this same rocket, we'll retire ours." But that's just my opinion. It fills the void and allows for growth when able.

I believe all of Probesplus is supposed to be integrated into BDB at some point, but don't quote me. I can't remember.

Don't fit the scope of the mod. This mod is "historic" rockets and spacecraft. Atlas V and Delta IV were mostly "I wanted to include them" and "it's to finish the family tree off" iirc. Maybe for BDB's 50th anniversary.

P2 Truss is added to Freedom. Moar powah! I mean... the centrifuge takes up a lot... If any of you are wondering why I don't do the rocket launches anymore, it's not because I forgot... it's just... it would be repetitive to show.

Atlas VI N012S launches Starliner to a ~100 km x ~100 km ~51.64 degree orbit. Naming scheme: 1st number is Fairing size. 2 possibilities: 5m (3.125m ksp) or 7.2m (Would be 4.375m in KSP, though the LDC widened fairing only goes out to 3.5m, so... yeah) 2nd number is SRBs. 6 options. (Still uses AJ-60s surprisingly... surprised they wouldn't produce a stretched version.) 3rd number is the number of RD-180s. 2 options: 1 or 2. 4th Number is the number of RL-10 options. 3 in total. 1 engine, 2 engines or 4 engines. 5th character is either S or E. S stands for Standard Length Widebody Centaur. E stands for Extended Length Widebody Centaur. (Or if you want numbers, S = 1, E =2) Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Any update on Voyager?

Nope. lol.

Phase 1 upgrade Atlas V HLV 504EW/5042 sending Centaur III tank to around a synchronous polar orbit of about 7.15 Mm. Phase 1 complete now. Going to do Phase 2 which introduces a Widebody Booster. Of course, there are many other variants that you could make with phase 1 than the 3 I did, but I'm not going to do them all. I mean, you've got 1 fairing size (Phase 1 does away with the 4 meter fairing entirely, but understandable. Why would you stick a smaller fairing on a wider rocket?) 5 SRB layouts to choose from 3 RL-10 engine layouts 2 Centaur sizes to choose from And finally, 2 Atlas CCB layouts. 1 core or 3. 1 x 5 x 3 x 2 x 2 = 60 Options... I'm NOT doing that lol. And yes, I'm counting the fact that you can technically add SRBs to Atlas heavy. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Phase 1 upgrade Atlas. This time, with an extended widebody Centaur. Dubbed, by me, the Atlas 552EW (Extended Widebody) or the 5522 (1 would be short widebody, 2 extended widebody) Payload: Centaur III tank Orbit: 539.377 km x 462.140 km 180-degree retrograde orbit.

September 25th, 2029 Preperation PMA-2, 3, 4 Flown by Angara A5 Russia sends up PMAs for its craft and modules aboard an Angara A5. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet (Maybe putting LSISS in a polar orbit wasn't that great? It's kind of a hard orbit to enter.)

Atlas Phase 1 upgrade. This upgrade features a wide-body centaur. The test payload was a Centaur III tank without any of its engines or equipment. 150 km x 150 km 0 degree orbit was achieved with plenty of fuel left over in the tank or orbit raising. TWR is low at lift off, less than 1.1, so the gravity turn was started at 75m at 0.4 degrees rather than 50m at 0.5 degrees. Dubbed, by me, Atlas 501W (W standing for widebody Centaur) or if you want to stick to numbers only, Atlas 5011 (1 standing for the short widebody, 2 would be extended widebody) Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

People in the 1600s went crazy over this.

The way you have the solar panels on the mission module is kind of cursed, yet so Kerbal.

Atlas V stage and a half. Skirt jettison at 50% fuel remaining in lower tank. (I set the top tank to drain first). Or 3.1Gs. This leaves Altas with a 1.10 TWR and just under 2 minutes of fuel. Sustainer engine is a H-2 upgraded variant with more thrust. Can get an Agena into a 150km x 150km equatorial orbit. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
