[1.3.x] CONTARES 1.8.9 closed

[hraban]

So it is an Ariane 1 then?

The project runs under the name "Aliyana"

After KSP obviously not capable to manage more than 4 resources in a command-part ZIRP-KM/M to be rebuilt. The Electrical is laid in a separate part or maybe I'll make a special commando unit. Thus, the ZIRP-KM/M would only fuel support including engine.

Do you have suggestions or ideas how it would be possible without division?

To have this number of resources in a part, you must have a module that consumes a resource (I.E. generator) to prevent bugs (icon scaling?).

Hello Beale and all other helpfull readers,

the generator is implemented but the electric-charge jumps to zero when the part spawn out of the creation-building.

MechJeb and SAS consuming electric.

I have no idea why the part behaves so funny.

First Parachute for 2.5, capsules is ready.

Diameter = 40m

[davidy12]

What is TAROCKOT based off of?

[hraban]

@davidy12

Really, that's not difficult.

Pranks TA (and the C for native english) and they get ... ROKOT ... ROCKOT(UR-100 / SS-19)

Oh, sorry not an ICBM specialist.

Can you quickly upload a different version with fairings only? I need these awesome, larger fairings!

Different version of what kind of a part?

[Kerbal01]

Different version of what kind of a part?

he means a separate download of your mod, but with just the fairing parts, no rocket bits or pods.

[hraban]

If you want to use only the fairings then delete all folders except AERO below Contares / Parts.

[legoclone09]

Ok, thanks! Will do. Here, have a rep cookie for being awesome.

On the way to dinner, I met a very thoughtful Bill Kerman. Armed with a torch and a welder, he was on his way in the steel stock. When I reached into the lounge, I found the following drawing on the blackboard:

[CobaltWolf]

Oooh very cool! Very nice stockalike take on Titan.

[hraban]

At the presentation of the latest project Jeb and Valentina sitting stone-faced in the front row. Obviously displeases them that the new rocket was not designed for the transport of Kerbals.

[CobaltWolf]

I cannot wait to see it ingame. Your textures are really improving I think!

[hraban]

Hello all,

next small update to version 1.3 is ready for download. See first page and download via KERBAL STUFF.

This mod include:

- parts to build the TITANIA-Rocket to start K150 Pod safely

- parts to buid the ALIYANA-Rocket to bring Satellites in high orbit (GTO-Injection for KERBAL-Standard-System)

- two 1.25m node Parachutes for heavy payloads and capsules.

Have Fun!

[Kerbal01]

These parts are really small, they look bigger in the pics.

[hraban]

@DarthVader

All parts are optimized to Tantares sizes. Based benchmark is TLV.

So TITANIA ans ALIYANA has both Ø 1.875m and the half length/high in comparison to the human-earth models.

The RioNegro is in two times. Ignoring the test engine with large, undivided openings in the fairing.

Edited October 17, 2015 by hraban

[CobaltWolf]

Hraban what tech level are the new parts? I'm trying to get a 1.875m stage in the tech tree between 1.25m and 2.5m. Between Tantares, CONTARES and my upcoming Atlas parts it would be very well defined.

[hraban]

As a hardcore sandbox hobbyist I have the Techtree absolutely not on the screen. Suggestions and discussions are welcome.

[ironic on] However: Is there really people who view the current techtree nearly as realistic in terms of the logical development of the fictitious space history? [ironic off]

[CobaltWolf]

No, it's nowhere near a) logical or balanced but the parts still need to go in roughly the right place for game progression.

That's really nice!

Second stage engine texture is very interesting. It I alike a foil?

Hi Beale,

did not want a bare engine and so I thought to myself, dressing it with foil.

Naked engines are indeed a feast for the eyes as well as polygon graves.
