Do you see this viable?

Do you see this as a viable mod (targeted for the RSS community)?

PS: Please, be sincere.

hey, why not, i like it, but would be nice to see it with textures.

p.s. what 3d design program are you using?

[mariohm1311]

Blender. About the textures, still need to learn how to texture (Pss, it would be nice to have a tutorial). Don't think it will be difficult, as it's a replica.

[nikolay-spb]

i am also beginner and also need tutorial for textures

ok i looked at it second time and everything is ok, but i dont like big cylinder between engines on this picture

what is this anyway?

Maybe you should put there 1 big engine?

You don't need to ask if anything is "viable" If you wanna do it do it. People will love it reguardless. We have, what... five or so mods for the SaturnV? All of them are liked and used extensively. The more the merrier.

But I would like to know exactly what it is. A replica you say? Of what? Never seen a rocket with that type of engine structure.

Edit: Never mind.

Hehe. Yeah, it looks weird, but it is real. Look for plug nozzles. As I said before, this is a replica of the real Firefly Alpha.

[Motokid600]

An aerospike engine, huh? Have any of them flew yet?

None of them have flown on real rockets (but on sounding rockets, yep), but there have been quite a lot of tests, both of linear and toroidal aerospikes.

Ah yea it is real, it see

[NathanKell]

Great start!

[Kerbal01]

neat looking rocket, ive been following firefly over on NSF,

could you make a mm .cfg for stock when you release?

[Squiggsy]

very viable and very very cool, the models are looking good!

since I found out about Firefly I've just been hoping and praying the name is a reference to the all too shortlived series

[nikolay-spb]

you should probably put in bottom some texture, it will be more understadable what it is, like on this picture

Yep. That's what I was thinking.

Really people here complain when im sincere.

The design is nice, I will give it credit if firefly doesn't work, it prolly will work with a little tinkering. The problem is that the game comes with a rather complete ability to launch small things into space.

The bigger problem now is a launch system for really big (Wide) things (particularly since they reworked the jet engines).

A couple of issues, methane currently is not in the game, there are no current liquified gas or compressed gas fuels and I am assuming the oxidant is liquified oxygen. To be true to their design you would need to add two new resources to the game.

BTW, I design for myself, what I see as a need; the rules for submitting to curse have become two draconian. All the mods I have downloaded previously the game has made obsolete, and many where never revised or patched on curse they simply disappeared. I thing we should be teaching folks how to mod, and sharing meshes and textures rather than building parts they might enjoy more making themselves.

You do realise that this is targeted for RSS Realism Overhaul, no?

PS: You can never be to sincere.
