SELV - Stockalike Expendable Launch Vehicles V.1.4 - Updated 25/09/2015

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Hello guys! This is a modpack which includes stockalike rockets, which are (a little) based on real world rockets, but with the KSP-Touch on them.

---

On the beginning, I was working on only one stockalike rocket, but making it was quite funny, so I packed that into this project. As the name says, the goal of this project is to add (more or less) stockalike rockets, which are partly based on real world rockets.

Since this is my first stockalike mod, I would be really grateful about feedback, which things are good and what needs to be improved!

Looks like a try

[sp1989]

Awesome awesome awesome! Congratulations on this release.

Would you say that this a Deltaesque Stockalike pack?

[Warringer]

Are you going to add this to CTT?

[VenomousRequiem]

Just have a round of applause here~

[Mecripp]

The FX are alittle ways from the engines and did you mean to leave the blender file in the folder ? Other then that great job very nice little launcher

EDIT- Kerbal up your files

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Oh thanks for the applause guys! :]

@MeCripp:Oh, erm no the blend files shoudn't be included! :/ I don't know how they found their way into the zip file. :# And that flag on the interstage is nice! Though the fairing looks wrong...^^

And yeah, aura is indeed based on the Delta's, you are right sp1989!

[Mecripp]

Yep used the texture on the interstage for the fairing which you can see are alittle darker might try and use a tank texture for the fairing and see how it looks.

EDIT- LOL looks like it's already been used and got alittle hot on the fairing.

[sp1989]

One thing that I would like to see added is some more adapters 1.875 to 2.5 and 1.875 to 1.25. Also shrouds for the engines if we use decouplers would be cool.

[politas]

I would suggest moving your Flags folder to be under SELV directly, rather than under Aura.

[spacecookie]

Yay 1.875m parts are always welcome, thank you for all your work, downloading it

[Astrofox]

I love the Idea of this mod, however, where do I put the Whizzy Liquid Engine Cluster-5576 file? I put the SELV file in KSP's Gamedata, but I am confused as to where I put the Cluster engine model.

Thanks for your time!

[Kartoffelkuchen]

If it is a .blend file, simply delete it. Somehow the have found their way into the zip file, I can't delete them right now because I am kinda on holiday until Monday. Only folders, pngs mu files and cfg files should be in your gamedata folder.

Thanks for all your very positive feedback guys! :]

[Leszek]

So, I have started a new career and put this mod in. Haven't had a chance to try it yet but I did have a chance to get that first 4 nozzle engine. With 100 thrust. And 391 VAC ISP.

You sir are my hero! I would give you more rep but I think it is too soon since last time. Let me try anyway.

[Ninjahgoblin]

I love this mod. I have it as one of my base mods now. I like career mode a lot, but feel it just needs a little extra for my playstyle.

Thanks a lot!

I'll keep track of issues if I have any. None so far.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Version 1.1 released!

What's new?

• 2.5m Engine (LV-65 "Peacewalker")
  
  
• 2.5m Long Fuel Tank
  

Doesn't sound too much, though it makes really fun to play with it and it offers many new possibilites, for example an ICBM:

or an early Atlas rocket:

or the Mercury - Atlas variation:

You can download the new version from Kerbalstuff

Note: Those parts are not correctly embedded in the techtree yet, they will get included later but for now they are not!

[Mecripp]

Thanks for the update this are great little launchers

[ThatOneBritishGuy...]

This pack looks great! I must say, you have skills sir. Keep it up.

[MarcAlain]

I really do wish we had a better upperstage rocket with this pack. The upper stage rocket engine as is is far too weak to launch higher payloads into a full orbit. The poodle is 250 in vac, and the LV is 60, while yours is only 100. Could you possibly make something like a skipper for heavier payloads?

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Yes, heavier engines are planned for the new rocket. As an alternative to Whizzy, you could also use the LV-X5 with a medium fuel tank instead of a short fuel tank, it has much more power.

[MarcAlain]

Yeah that's what I had to do if I wanted to lift say 12 tons to 500km orbits using an Aura heavy.

[Kerbal01]

Who ever said they had to be expendable? *pics to follow*

would be nice to have a 1.875 meter probe core to fit in this.

[MarcAlain]

I've also noticed a bug where the larger engine will not launch off if you don't use launch towers. It acts like it is "stuck" in the ground.

Confirmed and will be fixed!
