Special thanks to

The rocket in the first picture, what parts/mods did you use for that? I definitely recognize the boosters from Photon Corp, but I can't place the center stage(s), especially that neat engine housing.

that picture is by Amatuer but I do know the core is from the mod ORANGES by Estreetrockets.

The scientific publication concerning this supermodule can be found here: https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/6.1990-716

 

If someone has a copy if it, i am interested to read it.

This is an extremely interesting concept that I'd never heard of before. It should be interesting to use in-game.

Does the mod also include the unique engine mount for the launch vehicle?

no sadly not. Though I believe it's easily kitbashable or will be made by another mod. If no one makes it though I'll gladly consider making it

I'm sure it's very kitbashable, though getting it to re-enter properly might be a bit awkward. I don't think it's likely that any other mod will add the part though: given that this engine configuration seems to be unique to this payload proposal, it probably fits in better with the scope of this mod than any other.

No I don't believe so. Though maybe if I get a big enough interest to do so

Ah, it's still a cool mod anyway!

On that note does anyone know a way to access IVA's without having to directly click on the relevant module? Like a hotkey or something. I have this trick where I use the VAB's move tools to inset parts with IVA's into parts without IVA's to kinda give the latter some form of internal space. Usually though I leave a part slightly exposed at the ends so that you can click on it to transfer crews between compartments. But in this case I don't want to break the visual profile of the Super Module.

I figure since they never fully fleshed out what the interior of this big guy was supposed to be like, I could use BDB or Nertea's stuff to give it an interior of sorts.

I think you should have an IVA for the SOUP, it would make the mod just that little bit better overall.

[Royalswissarmyknife]

I second this I would also like to have an IVA for my SSOUP

Looks really nice!

That's really not fun to make sometimes but I can try something sometime. I've updated SSOUPP though, adding 2 new things. A brand new grey variant like the modules in Habtech, and a shortened version with just the radial node for anyone needing just the end piece.
