When I complained about his unnecessarily high polygon count frizzank told me that triangles are no longer the deciding factor for limited processing power. Textures are. You can safely increase complexity, and make your models look awesome. Saying that we can say it's all covered is a slippery slope. There's just no reason for making things so simple.

What I was trying to say was for example this.

Those external tanks for example, they should be shielded cylindrical tanks, but you have them as rectangular blocks. You should make them more realistic.

Ok, thanks, but keep in mind I make ISS alike parts, no replicas. A replica pack already exists. So my/our goal is not a photorealistic replica set. I totaly agree that the model needs more details and I'm still work on it.

Hm, I'm not sure. Models with a high poly count still drops FPS for me. And I mean not only KSP.

This thing is looking better with each post!

Thank you, we do our best :)

You already know for sure, but I'm happy to announce blackheart612 joined this project as texturing artist.

Thank you guys :)

I'll release the first pack with:

- Karya (Zarya)

- Kunity (Unity)

- DP1500 (1.5m Docking Port; CBM alike)

- DP900 (0.9m Docking Port; APAS; compatible with stock 1.25m ports)

- Pressurized Mating Adapter

Currently I'm working on the functionality of the Karya module.

That and my recent delving in the ROS components has given me an odd idea... Can a stock-alike docking port be made such as to "interlock" with the clamp-o-trons? What I mean is for it to mate around the clamp-o-tron's outer ring, kinda like the Soyuz docking mechanism...

Did you finalize the Karya? I wanna work with it. :D

Yeah, I just want to figure something out, before I do the new UV map. Because it could need model changes too if I get it working. I'll tell you more in a PN later.

That's what the DP900 is for. 0.9m is exact the size of the stock 1.25m docking ports ring :)

But wouldn't a docking port that would allow the ring to essentially go "in" it have to be larger than at least said ring?

Ah, now I get it. The problem is the stock docking part module does not support non-androgyne docking systems. you could dock two ring-ports and even two non-ring-ports. There is also no stock support for angle restricted docking.

Ah! This is what I've been searching for! And I agree completely, there is already a to-scale model of the ISS. I am interested in a more Kerbalized version, which it looks like you are too! Which is wonderful. Keep it up! :)

Thanks. I'll do :)

Aw...

Well, I'm sure whatever you've come up with is awesome.
