You do great work; one thing I have learned in life is never mess with the artist at work! You make what you feel you need to. And I will be more than content to misuse the completed work. All you have to do is ask @Angel-125 about how often I have used his mods in ways he probably never imagined... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adapters themselves are hollow-ish and can be used as a service bay. The 6-way dividing walls are optional. In case it hasn't already been made clear, CERV and Shuttle II on the whole are being aimed (by me personally) at being in the same size class as Tundra Exploration/ Starship Expansion and Mk-33, so the engines are proper sizes (0.625m, 1.25m and not in-between) and to make more sense when used in 2.7x scale or real scale, and so Shuttle II can hold 3.75m payloads. The other mods hold 2.5m, if even so much. Another reason for the up-sizing is that, unless I'm mistaken, Shuttle II lacks in fuel tank volume and has no SRBs yet it's supposed to outperform Shuttle. If by chance folks would rather everything be smaller and "SOCK-compatible" now is the time to gather round, cast a poll and let me know. Honestly when I think about it, I can't help but imagine Shuttle 2.0 would have been larger no matter what. This looks awesome and I can't wait for release! And I'm not just saying that because the adapters will give me the ability to abuse my power in the VAB. Edit: Apparently the forum decided to copy my post half a dozen times or so...

Edit: Apparently the forum decided to copy my post half a dozen times or so... Absolutely has to be, as it doesn't involve a huge ET. CERV as an orbiter (not as an abort vessel) is going to have some generous dV due to the liberty that can be taken with internal volume. You can thank @chaos113 for recommending the adapters.

JadeOfMaar Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 CERV Cradle (with adapter options) and decoupler are complete. Their textures have some kinks that wait to be ironed out but altogether this is a complete part set so far (ignoring the fact that the engines wait to be textured too).

Smallant55 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Some new images of CERV in testing, and it’s “Moonraker” inspired livery. CERV can also be seen mounted onto a modified SLS rocket using the adaptive cradle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugoraider Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Turns out I changed my mind, and am now officially part of KATS dev team! The Buran I'm working on currently will probably be part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
