Orbital Sciences & Saftey ll Cygnus Alpha Release 0.1.1

[Moach]

well, this sure looks promising

but hey, since there's nothing to download at the moment, i feel this should be better placed on the addon devs section - but don't sweat it, i'll move it there for ya!

[dishycourier]

Cygnus has been postponed until further notice! Seeing as .17/Planets is nearing soon as the experimentals are going on, I am working on a new project!

...Dat tank...

Progress update on Thermopylae:

The Main body is almost completely modeled and textured, expect screenies soon.

Also, I decided to cook up some mission patches in Illustrator!

what happed to upgradeing the BACE pack

Plugin broke.

[MinerEdgar]

so relase the parts that don't use the plugins

[MaverickSawyer]

Focus on Thermopylae. That's the money shot.

[LaydeeDem]

Forums are back! I finally can post this!

[Mekan1k]

That looks brilliant

[Jacob M.]

Any news or progress on Cygnus?

[LaydeeDem]

Not much progress. I haven't played KSP in a while.

Here's a screenshot anyways.

EDIT:

Flies like a brick, but I got this in too:

[Mekan1k]

Could you include a lifting-vector on the little pod-thing?

[Netris]

Are you planning on making Antares ?

[samcar304]

I too would like to see the Antares launch vehicle coupled with the Cygnus. but its not my decision its yours.

But i am sure a lot of people would want it too?

I would be happy with just Cygnus, but I would love to see an Antares to go with it as well.

Exactly my thought ^^

I could have a try at making the 3D files of the launcher, but I am not at all experienced in texturing, neither tweaking config files. Maybe if someone wants to do those parts, then I could just do the 3D.

[edit]

does anybody knows where I can find good blueprints/drawings/plans of the launcher, or at least measurements ? Can't seem to find some on google.

Well, since it's cylindrical, you could just find out the width, and use that to measure the height, how big the engines are etc.

Maybe this could help

[cesarparent]

Yup, that's what I used in the end, I based the design on the core diameter and used a drawing (from the A-ONE fact sheet) to get a scale:

[LaydeeDem]

I like it very much. Go make your own Antares mod if you like.

[cesarparent]

Well, it's only a quick attempt at doing the 3D parts, in case you were doing only the spacecrafts

I probably won't have time to make it a full-fledged add-on, but if I can be of any help, I'm here !

[LaydeeDem]

I made an engine. What do you guys think?
