[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [16.1][28.05.2024][Mars Expedition WIP]

[Beale]

That would be cool, although personally I'm more interested in seeing a TMK. I'm sure though, that whatever Beale does will be great!

But seriously,

ATV might be interesting, TMK is very interesting.

Only thing I've done comparable to the ATV thus far is the Progress spacecraft, and that was made very quickly, so it would probably be do-able

ATV would be a nice mini-project.

TMK would be a nice big project.

I'll finish and release Salyut/MIR parts/LK lander first though

On the subject of MIR parts, I plan these pieces:

• A Kvant like habitation module
  
• Two new models of Solar panel
  
• A Priorda style large dish.
  

Any glaring omissions people notice? I figure most everything else can be made with TKS / Stock parts

just wanted to say thanks to you for all of your work. These mods give me the most joy... I look forward to anything and everything that you can make.

Cheers and best of luck.

Well, ATV is basically a barrel with 4 solar panels and a docking port, it would be maybe easiest thing to do

Orbital Maneuvering Module + Payload Module + Docking.

Vostok anyone?

Is the new Salyut you're making Salyut 1?

Lovely to hear, thank you

Nice

Is the new Salyut you're making Salyut 1?

It is kind of a mix of all civilian Salyuts, if I can get fixed solar panels working, expect Salut 6/7 style options and textures available

[ZodiaK]

I see.....

The future looks bright!

[ZodiaK]

so it does, any progress beale?

Currently relying on phone data so no pictures, but the LK is textured and looking nice, Salyut OMS done. Etc..

[ZodiaK]

what about now?

y u no have internet?!?

[Beale]

Here's a few new pics.

• Adapters for the 1.875m parts to standard sizes
  
• LK Cabin
  
• Salyut OMS
  

Also been playing about a bit, helps get the balance better. Expect some amount of nerfing, and boosts to parts in other areas.

Almaz-esque thing in High Kerbin Orbit

MIR-esque thing

The LK is currently heavy WIP, with only the cabin finished.

Until I have a solid broadband connection, I'm afraid updates will be a bit sporadic, but shouldn't be long.

Currently working on some fixed (and CHEAP, for the more stingy career mode players) solar panels

[Woopert]

That looks fantastic! Nice work mate.

What EVE texture pack is that there?

[Beale]

That looks fantastic! Nice work mate.

What EVE texture pack is that there?

Haha thankyou!

The texture pack is just the standard EVE download, with a slight modification.

It's a "Wall-E'd" Kerbin, thick yellow and polluted atmosphere.

Purely for a bit of personal fun, give the Kerbals a reason to leave.

You can overwrite the default Kerbin config with the following code, no new image files would be needed (just eve1.png and detaileve1.png)

	CLOUD_LAYER
	{
		DEFAULTS
		{
			body = Kerbin
			altitude = 10000
			volume = False
			color
			{
				r = 1
				g = 0.8
				b = 0.5
				a = 0.6
			}
			main_texture
			{
				file = BoulderCo/Clouds/Textures/eve1
				scale = 1
				offset
				{
					x = 0.3052678
					y = 0
				}
				speed
				{
					x = -2.5E-05
					y = 0
				}
			}
			detail_texture
			{
				file = BoulderCo/Clouds/Textures/detaileve1
				scale = 100
				offset
				{
					x = 0.3052678
					y = 0
				}
				speed
				{
					x = 2.6E-05
					y = 0
				}
			}
		}
	}
	CLOUD_LAYER
	{
		DEFAULTS
		{
			body = Kerbin
			altitude = 67000
			volume = False
			color
			{
				r = 1
				g = 0.8
				b = 0.5
				a = 0.3
			}
			main_texture
			{
				file = BoulderCo/Clouds/Textures/eve1
				scale = 1
				offset
				{
					x = 0.3052678
					y = 0
				}
				speed
				{
					x = -2.5E-06
					y = 0
				}
			}
			detail_texture
			{
				file = BoulderCo/Clouds/Textures/detaileve1
				scale = 100
				offset
				{
					x = 0.3052678
					y = 0
				}
				speed
				{
					x = 2.6E-05
					y = 0
				}
			}
		}
	}

Thanks for the update! The parts are looking good; I especially like the adapters. The adapters in HGR work, but their style clashes with Tantares, so having yours will improve the overall look of the ships.

[ZodiaK]

Looks amazing!!!

Salyut IVA

Fixed Solar Panels

Hell, I love these actually.

They're a lot cheaper than the tracking ones (currently 165$), but provide a fair bit less power. Also you have to manually orient the spacecraft to get optimum sunlight

Salyut Coming soon...

Then LK,

Then MIR

Looking sweet as always, Beale!

[hcalves]

Cool mod, but shouldn't some parts be double the size (Soyuz, Apollo, etc), to compare better to the real life counterparts? Also, seat 3 instead of 2.

[Guest]

Lovely. I really like those parts, they look close enough to historical ones, while also being somewhat stockalike.

[ZodiaK]

A winner is you

[Darth Lazarus]

i sense some epic constructions incomming

I see where you are coming from, but I am going here for more Kerbalized versions of the real rockets, that means smaller in my book.

Hopefully I can get around to making some rescaled configurations for download.

You might also like to try out Home Grown Rocket Parts or the K4P0ll0 Mods for the Soyuz and Apollo respectively, they are larger than mine.

Indeed...

LK Lander Engine

Here's the LK's engine. Mainly a work of fiction on my part, since the real engines were enclosed within the hull of the craft.

But hey, they look nice ( I think )

They perform well in Vacuum, but quite poorly in atmosphere (<300 ISP)

Makes a decent upper-stage on small rockets.
