[1.4.x][WIP] Kerbobulus Space Industries (KSI) - Stockalike Near Future Spacecraft [CST-100, Orion, etc.] Misc. Pack 1.1.3 Released

[Bottle Rocketeer 500]

 Hello, and this will be the dev thread for my upcoming mod, Kerbobulus Space Industries, which strives to recreate near future spacecraft (not to be confused with @Nertea's wonderful NFT mods), such as the CST-100, and Orion (not the nuclear one, the one NASA is currently developing) in a porkalike style.  Currently, I am working on the CST-100, and am about 3/4 of the way through with the service portion. Still, you should expect more coming in the near future. Without further ado, here is the current progress!

looks good!

Nice. Try changing the shader to smooth and applying an edge split modifier. It will look much better.

I know, that is part of my usual process, just haven't had the time to do it for this part yet, but I'll do it.

@damonvv @harrisjosh2711 Changed the shading to smooth and applying an edge split modifier  now, so I can now finally say I'm done with modelling this part.

@damonvv Service Bay Modelling Stage Done!

CST First, then Orion, as plans for NASA's mission to mars are constantly changing currently

@damonvvThanks, currently remodelling the tank, as the domes went out too far.

@damonvv Engine Plate modelled, now onto the RCS pods! Also, I fixed the tank domes, which were different actually.

Can’t wait to see the textures on it

Just me or is it really tall for the CST-100?

That's right, I remember doing the math on this once for someone. It should be 3.125m diameter in game (same as a Boeing Delta IV, actually...) and then the overall height should be about the same.

@CobaltWolf As I said earlier, this is a kerbalized version, and I wanted to give it a purpose in the stock game, so I made a cargo bay instead of a purely fuel-filled service module, like planned previously, and just like @Angel-125 said in the making of his Estonian pod for DSEV, it would look awful if I were to make the capsule more squat. The reason the service module is so tall is because the parts would look horrible if I were to reduce the size of them. Also, I made a "Minmus tree" for the weekly challenge, to be launched tomorrow! (On a Falcon 9/ Heavy)

Merry Christmas to all!

EDIT: BTW, my Minmus tree is almost at max temp on the pad on Kerbin!

@damonvv Hello, everyone! I will now be working on mesh optimisation and UV unwrapping- the second phase  of development for the CST-100! For the past few days, I have been playing another game (read Space Agency), but will now focus again on development of the CST-100! Have a happy new year!

@damonvvHello, everyone, I forgot two (or three) parts of the CST-100, and just finished a nosecone cargo bay, for @Geonovast (Which will be out once it's fixed- model isn't loading). Have a happy new year!
