So - functionally very similar to the Mk 2-1 in my ASTRA Pack. Is yours also a 4 seater? I've found much of the stuff I was working on superseded by more capable modders/artists recently, I've taken to using the Taurus Command pod with resized SDHI heatshield and Avionics decoupler, and like the look of this Shenron better than my own work.

Damn real life for taking all my precious modding time!

Would you consider any of the following parts:

- 3.75m SDHI style LES Shroud to fit Taurus command pod.

- 3.75m Heatshield for the above

------ (these two parts, properly designed, could be used for "Curiosity" style Duna landers)

- High power 1.25m engines or engine clusters (stock ones seem to lack a high power design, skipping straight to 2.5m)

Also, is the hatch on the Shenron off to one side like the stock one?

How well does she fit under the SDHI BPC?

Too tall. Besides, dragon didn't have any BPC, just an aerobeak. :P

You know, I hate it when you are planning to launch a mod you think is good and there's someone out there that you think did it better. And people even sympathize them more than you. I understand the feeling :(

I remember texturing your ASTRA pack when it came out because it looked cool but that time I had no idea how to do and I wasn't able to pass it to you.

I will see what I can do, Shenron's door isn't off to one side, one of its window is. If I applied an offset, I'm gonna get mashed by people with OCDs

For general update...

Midtank is done modeling. Had a bit of a problem but you wouldn't notice it anyway cause it looks perfect.

Given the Shenron doesn't fit under the LES Shroud, I will get back to designing the "2-1c" and ascociated hardware. Idea might be to modify the SDHI LES shroud to switch rotation like the Fustek-SDHI docking ports "active" and "passive" modes.

Also, although I haven't had time to apply the idea yet, I may have finally figured out how to map my meshes for a far easier texturing experience.

On related note, Could you please make the Shenron's windows light up pure white like the Fustek pack?

Aeroshield, but yes, because they are using a pusher LES.

Will the crew can mesh with the bottom of the stock 1-2 command pod and take the sdhi heat shield? That's one part I've been hoping someone would make!

It already is though. :)

Loving the models so far, and the Shenron is looking great.

Can we have the LES built into the Shenron like the real dragon?

Or better yet, a fully functional landing system? I know, I know, it's not a main part of the Kerbal X project, and it's probably a tall order to fit in all that functionality, this is just something I've been wanting for a while, since there are two mod Dragons out there, neither of which really blends with the stock parts.

What's the Landing System? I don't know it.

Built-in landing gear and 8 superdraco engines mounted in pairs, the same engines used for the LES.

video shows what the whole reusable Falcon 9 stack should eventually look like in action. Edited by TerLoki
