(short term battery good for a few orbits before the probe dies.) The Striped one Bottom center (sphere) is as it is (I think) Beyond that IDK myself.

The far left one is a soviet probe, for now it has no other part, the black semi sphere is pioneer 5 probe. I think the one with solar pannels on it is an english one... And the far right one should be humm maybe mariner 10 ? Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickSawyer Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Far right is the Ranger bus. There's a deployable (but non-retractable) panel, battery pack, and antenna for it, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only missing the mast truss structure *cough* *cough* (Maybe it got finished, I don't have the latest Repo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickSawyer Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Well, that Muo V 53x worked like a treat... And it is quite the photogenic rocket: I think that the Delta II has a new stablemate in my "go-to boosters" roster. Currently putting together a Muo V 401 to launch a replacement Minmus lander for my station... Having to remove ~30% of the first stage fuel due to the light payload, but I'm not complaining... she looks gorgeous, doesn't she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Squad (and others apparently) doesn’t understand how rockets work doesn’t mean people who do are somehow bad. Nor should we follow exactly what Squad’s vision (if any) is.

Expand I.E. propellant to tank weight ratios are comparable, engine thrust to weight ratios are comparable, stuff like that. After all, it's been proven repeatedly that stock parts are OP for the stock scale solar system, and are fairly believable at 3.2x scale, so that's what CobaltWolf tuned BDB to match.
