Daemoria Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Hm, this ship is getting a bit too tall to fit on my screen/show off the detail at the same time. And it's still missing the payload section. . .Lots of blank real-estate on the side of the second stage for some Logos and Signage. I wonder who would be a good sponsor for this vessel.

cziken20 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The models all look awesome, but for me this section between two sizes should a bit longer, it looks a bit thickish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki117 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Not a big fan of the wire-mesh decoupler, but that's more personal preference than anything. I prefer much more low profile decouplers. (The ones from KW Rocketry are my favorite) I still love the detail! And who's to say it needs a sponsor?The models all look awesome, but for me this section between two sizes should a bit longer, it looks a bit thickish.A good fix for this would be to provide two different styles. One that is longer with a smoother change in diameter, and the current one. Edited February 25, 2014 by Taki117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a "donate" button. He would earn more money in one day than Bill Gates in two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemoria Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Taki117: If you can provide a picture of the low profile decoupler you are referring to, that could possibly sway me into including a set of them. As of now, unfortunately, the majority of of the couplers that i've planned are all skeletal, like that one above.cziken20: I plan on including 3 sizes for all the fuel tanks. Short, standard, and long. They are respectably 3meters tall, 7meters tall, and for the longest ones, 15meters tall. Currently i modeled the 1/2 meter adapter tanks in the long and short versions. If those don't appeal to your ship's design, you might have better luck with the standard piece. It's like you want, a more even transition between the two sizes. I just haven't modeled it, because non of my example ships require that particular piece, but the option will be there in the final release.Sponsor logos might be a bit out of flavor for these ships I guess, but I do want to have some insignia or names on the sides of the largest pieces, to add a bit of color. I'm completely open to suggestions in that regard, no matter how strange they might seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cziken20 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The thing i would like to see the most (i am not pressing you to do this) is fuel tank that is very small, but hold a lot of fuel (but in normal means, you know not like a tank the size of Probodobyne octo holding 1000000 fuel), so i could make finally a good-looking probe . Tanks were always making probes ugly for me, but with your skills you can make a tank that makes everything prettier! What i say, you can make everything look beutiful (in modelling of course! Idk if you can make things like makeup :P ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemoria Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'll see what I can come up with once I finish these pieces. I was thinking of doing some .5 meter range fuel tanks actually, for unmanned low-tech launches. Essentially ballistics testing/high altitude atmospherics science. As for probes that leave Kerbin SOI, if they leave their staging behind they would most likely rely on a series of radial attached fuel tanks. Ion drives don't exactly need massive amounts of fuel, so the smaller side tanks would work in that instance... I agree, standard fuel cylinder tanks can look kinda ugly on small satellites/drones, so I'll definably look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywind Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hey Daemoria, if you have a free chance, I wouldn't mind seeing some more rocket concepts, it's really refreshing to see new designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemoria Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 sojourner: I actually didn't even look at the Ares I launcher before you mentioned it. It's now added to the massive pile of reference, so some of it might show up in future related meshes.Taki117: Thanks for taking the time to get the images for me. I actually do have some inter-stage decouplers that resemble those. The wire designs are just meant to provide both staging and hold an engine, while remaining light. I just have to get to a design that calls for the smaller mechanical decouplers to be modeled for you see them. :]BahamutoD: Don't you dare let me stop you from making your own part set. The only way you improve is from practice, and nothing is better than making a couple hundred parts.Greywind: My time is very limited during the week, but I'll see what I can do. I'm currently exploring how to make some interesting looking (compact) payload modules and some nice Interplanetary stages. I'll get some drawings up soon-ish.

Daemoria Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Top tier tech right here. This is a variant on the very heavy interplanetary vessel posted on the first page. It has 2 radialy attached Lampetra SSTO lander parasites, and a massive cargo bay for all of your potential extra-planetary development missions.

Daemoria Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Holy... I was not expecting that. How big is that thing?Somewhere between huge, and massive. The titan bay is, according to my notes, a 6m radius part. This section of the interplanetary stage is almost as long as my entire tier 1 launch vehicle is tall. That one being the meshes that i'm working on currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
