Russian alike parts

[Daze]

Well, since it's beginning KSP has maintained a stock look that's resemble the NASA and all other American Programs, now i think that it should be other parts that resemble Russian alike rockets, like Soyuz or some probe.

What do you guys think about?

[tater]

I'd actually like to see a branching option for career/science start that puts you at some inland launch site and uses soviet-feeling parts. That'd be really cool.

[Daze]

Yes indeed, it would be amazing for carrier mode and also would add variety to stock parts

[Frozen_Heart]

Agreed with this.

Have some new parts that are still stockalike but Russian styled.

[Robotengineer]

I support this, having sloped nosecones like the Soyuz launcher or Orbital Segment like the Soyuz Orbiter would be cool. Although at may add a lot of RAM usage.

[Frozen_Heart]

Although at may add a lot of RAM usage.

The Unity team really needs to get 64 bit working so we can have tons of parts.

I'd love to see a two man capsule in stock.

The Russians made a two man capsule and are poorly represented in stock, despite being 50% of the Space Race.

*cough*

Hopefully soon, and not Soonâ„¢ ..although I'd be happy if they could just fix the leakage and memory bloat that DX9 mode suffers from.

[Daze]

I think that RAM problem can be easily solved.

Remove all the fuel tanks and made them procedural THAN add more station parte/unic parts

[Coam]

I'd love to see this.

Voskhod or Soyuz 7K-T seems like an ideal base for a two crew capsule and other systems, although maybe a 4 crew one (not accurate) based on a later Soyuz could also be useful in light of Valentina joining the crew, allowing them all to fly together.

Perhaps we could also get some Salyut or Mir based station parts?

[Daze]

Hoping for station parts (it doesnt matter if it's russian/american/joolian, just that is station parts)

Also i really hope that Squad take advantage of Porkjet collaboration to make more and more overhaul and addition. He has a magic touch for stock parts

[Wallygator]

This should not require a thread. It should be alreadyimplemented stock for 1.0! (Assuming licensing agreements with Russian Federal Space agency have been established if required)

I support the above messages 100%.

I haven't seen any complaints about projects built for windows x64 on the Unity 5 beta forum so far.

Hopefully that's a good sign now that they're on RC2, maybe release at this years GDC?

Yes it should... It would be amazing to see some new surprise

[Daze]

I think that with the recently rumour of email from Squad to Roscosmos is good to up this thread

[Frozen_Heart]

I'd like a 2 kerbal, 1.25 capsule based on the Soyuz one. 1.25m node both ends but still much wider one end compared to the other. (similar to the lander can being oversized both ends) An orbital module would be a cool thing to have as well.

Also conical fuel tanks would allow more interesting designs to be built, not just Russian spacecraft.

EXACTLY this!

Also i think that if they add russian parts they will be more likely 1.875 mt (so basically it's a new dimension)

I'd rather have it as simple conical tanks going from the already established nodes. That way they can be used for everything else rather than only for a single design.

[PatPL]

You guys forgot about soviet N1.

[Wabbit]

Hmm... What I want to see stock are the aerodynamically curved side tanks (like those used on the Soyuz) with Russian engines... And maybe a Soyuz orbiter...
