[1.0.5] CST-100 Starliner - 3.75m 7 Seat Crew Vehicle! (v0.7.6 Nosecone fix and more!)

[_Augustus_]

Is the CST 3.125m? I don't like that. Also, to be honest, those scales aren't very good. They're all very close in size. I mean ish. 3.75 sounds too big.

3.912 x 0.64 literally equals almost exactly 2.5, 3.7 x 0.64 equals 2.368, which is closer to 2.5 than 2.1875.

5.029 x 0.64 equals 3.21, which is closer to 3.125m, so pardon me.

And the Starliner scales to 2.8125m, which is halfway between 3.125m and 2.5m.

is the an eta on release? i would play now but its quite buggy. thanks

Some Progress!

Made the new structural ring on the SM

Made a NASA Docking System

Heres some IVA re-entry

Next update would probably come at the end of next week

BananaIsAFruit I don't really know right now

CST-100 just received it's name from Boeing. STARLINER.

Just a heads-up, and idk if its important or not, but the actual docking mechanism has the "spades" closed now instead of hollow like they were on earlier designs (and renders)

Whoops I'll fix that

[VenomousRequiem]

What kind of LES does the CST-100 use? I mean, it's gotta have an LES, right? Isn't that part of NASA's rules?

[xxhansonmaxx]

VenomousRequiem It uses the Engines on the SM, its powerful enough to pull it away

Docking Ports....SOOON

[DGatsby]

Thank you for all this awesome work to make this mod!

I didn't know that! I'm just recently hearing about the CST-100 to begin with, so how it functions is new to me.

[RoverDude]

0.9375m is now a size that's used.

Your yourself use 0.3125m parts.

And what about 1.875m?

I've never heard of 0.93whatever size. And actually I use 0.35, but in that context (sounding rockets) I provide an entire series of parts, from engines through probe cores. Providing a capsule in a weird non-standard size does not make sense, OP is doing the right thing.

Side note, once the OP is done with this and it's released, I'll have to add it to my twitch save

I realy love your service module and command pod with build in RCS. It help to reduce part count a lot

Just saw this, looks great! Keep up the good work!

[xxhansonmaxx]

RoverDude Oh yes, I would love to see you play around with it

benjee10 Ha thanks

Docking Ports in game! and.....ahem....IDA

IDA? IDA!!!!? Okay, I kinda love you right now.... I'm sorry to be the one to ask this, but when's the next release.... I'm really excited about IDA now...

Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'm trying to finish up the IVA to be included in this release

[xxhansonmaxx]

v0.5

3 New docking ports + IDA, Adjusted nose cone to fit docking ports, Changed file names to have no conflicts, Added IVA, Combined Solar Panels with SM, Added SM Ring, Updated textures again

[Gaultesian]

looking really great! Looks like I will have to use this as my intermediate command capsule (between the MK1-2 and the Orion)....I love this pod.

[Natsu85]

thank you very much, I love this mod

I can not wait to try the new changes

[davidy12]

Agreed, this ranks with the Taurus, Tundra Rodan, and Mk1-2 capsule.

[Sampa]

This looks cool!

[liquidhype]

This is looking amazing Can't wait for 1.1 to come out, then this will definitely be used frequently for bringing kerbals to and from the ISS.

So an IDA is an adapter for NASA docking system and APAS-95 docking ports like on the PMAs? So it's an adapter for your adapter?

The wonderful thing about docking standards is that there are so many to choose from.
