v1.0.0-beta-2 (6 February 2023)
Stockalike SDLVs for KSP

This mod adds parts you can use to create replicas of all sorts of Shuttle-Derived vehicles by myself  (@EStreetRockets) and @Invaderchaos. It is balanced like other stockalike mods such as BDB and Tantares, for a ~2.5x solar system. In the future we hope to add many more concepts!

Were you aware there was another mod called ORANGE (Oh Really, Another Name Generating Endeavour)?

Just to reiterate, we still got a lot planned for our first release. There’s a few things I’m currently working on. 
 

For the ET, I plan to add two more ET-derived tanks, an ET with an inline top and sts bottom, and an ET with an sts top and inline bottom. I also plan to add a bottom straight adapter with compatible raceway to make the ET compatible with generic mounts, an SLS-based engine mount derived from Benjee’s Artemis Construction Kit mod, and a delta blue tank paint job. 

I’m also doing some stuff with Photon Corp’s SRBs. Right now I’m working on some fixes, like general texture cleanup/compression reduction, adding emissive to the nozzles, and adding a switch for the avionics stripe. I also am working on parts for Athena III, a proposal that combines a 2.5 segment RSRM with the upper stages of Athena II. Fairing base is a placeholder in this image:

Beyond that I’m also working on some parts for SRB-X, Heimdall (SRB-X from Boldly Going), ASRM, and Ares I. These parts are a little more far out but stay tuned!

This is coming together great! I'm already using this to abuse my powers.

I encourage you to dissect this thing. There are three major rocket families represented in this picture. I'm open to your guesses.

Only bug I've come across is a warning relating to B9 parts switch on the ET Inline, but it doesn't seem to cause any noticeable problems. I'll keep y'all posted.

BTW the payload capacity for the thing above is at least 172 tons to LKO.
