DGatsby Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Lunar lander variant of the TKS:It's a two stage lander for a direct ascent; the bottom rocket lands it, and the top tower hoists it back into orbit, and back to Kerbin. I'm going to try it out tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niemand303 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I was wondering, will you make something like "Kliper"? It would be a very nice 1.25 crew shuttle to be placed on top of a rocket (it was supposed irl to do that). I am newbie in Blender, but i'll try my best, make and PM some models if you need, but i'm awful at making textures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomoo Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) I'm familiar with SDHI however it does not add any command module. I was looking for a command module with ability to hold like 6 Kerbals. If Beale can compress two kerbals into a 1.25m pod then I'm sure he can fit 6 in a 2.5m pod.Why don't you just edit the cfg of the stock 2.5m pod to hold 6, because it sounds like that's what you want. But if you don't want to cheat, there's a 6-kerbal 3.75m capsule, if I'm not mistaken, though the textures are very rough. There's even an Orion service module for it.

Beale Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Well if beagle wants small take a gander at this http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/o/ombrec60.jpgway back in the mercury and dynostar era the states cooked up all sorts of different lifeboats and reentry vehicles for what they expected to be a new era of orbital fighter pilots http://www.friends-partners.org/mwade/craftfam/rescue.htm its a gold mine for commamnd pod ideas.Never heard of this, cool little thing.Lunar lander variant of the TKS:http://i.imgur.com/Z5bKxYX.jpgIt's a two stage lander for a direct ascent; the bottom rocket lands it, and the top tower hoists it back into orbit, and back to Kerbin.

passinglurker Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Working on IVAs, expect some more news soon.http://puu.sh/b3vE0/8084d030b1.jpgbuahaha don't let the people over in the snacks thread see this hardly a day goes by where someone who just discovered the mod doesn't ask for the dev to add a dedicated snacks storage part not realizing that. A) the mods goal is to be dead simple, and B)the hitchhiker can IS the dedicated snack storage part to supplement the command pod snack supply.

Beale Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 How much longer till you'll be done?!?Salyut will be released first, then the LK.Salyut is very nearly done.Only remains one IVA, one set of Solar Panels and it is good to go.wow! looks so good!edit: no windows?Thanks! But yeah, the midsection has no windows in the model, given there are already three elsewhere on the station.With the RPMs, docking port cameras are more use than any window could've been.Wish I could make ultra-low res 70's style cameras for docking.

ZodiaK Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) maybe you could experiment with that docking camera mod...[EDIT] I could model the parts for the ATV in a few weeks if you want, and I could do a proof of concept next week ish Edited August 23, 2014 by ZodiaK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no pressure! The ATV is still a while off. Many thanks!Fixed Solar Panels / Almaz 6/7 Fixed panels.More in the vein of the old ones.Work fairly well, though with all fixed panels, natural symmetry doesn't work.

ZodiaK Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) thank you for accepting! I won't be back in england until next week, and I have to get over the 5-hour jetlag, but I'll do my best![edit] those parts look amazing! the alternate color options should be separate parts instead of options, because the parts can be used to make different spacecraft, and people might not want to make one or the other.[another edit] take a look at this.[yet another edit- man I'm forgetful] this could be used for a solitary camera part or programmed into the docking ports.
