Wow!

That last station is huge, the part count must be high k_huh.gif

And actually that SSTO design is gorgeous. [/ quote]

On previous suggestions, the rotating panels have had a minor texture update.

New models will have to wait for now.

Smaller Cell surface on the top, shadow + better specular map.

finally texture on the back panels.

Nice. I like the textures on the back of those panels. Simple and they work.

A suggestion, if I may: The Mono capacity of the small MonoProp tank you added/readded with the reworked Vega seems a bit on the heavy side. It feels like it should be more in the 15-20 range, not anywhere near 30, but I've not really sat down to calc the volume of the sphere vs the accepted density of MonoProp. Thoughts?

I've repurposed the Tantares descent module into what I call a Mini-Tanta. Nothing more than a quick ferry to ~120km or so.... Not very comfortable, either, but it's cheap. (And about 40% recoverable with something like StageRecovery or DebRefund.) Even has a working launch escape system. Still needs a bit of work, as the panels clip slightly into the RCS pods. I could probably get away with not using the new MonoProp engines, but I'm impatient and needed the thrust.

Hi!

You're right about the capacity, they've been reduced to a capacity of 15 in the next release :)

I love the Mini-Tanta, think I'll build one myself!

My current crew shuttle costs 80K+ and is about 1% recoverable :sealed:

That's how the real Soyuz is.

i noticed something on the ride to Orbit with my stock Soyuz ... i barly made it cause i was running low on batterypower :confused: my soyuz uses the Rapiers for the 4x Eningeclusters, but rapiers are not producing electricity ... so i have to put more batteries on the last stage for sa save flight.

Tanta ! :cool:

Your Soyuz, TKS and Salyut parts are works of art!

If you have some free time, perhaps you'll consider the the Soyuz launch vehicle--combined with your "Kerbal Soyuz", and I think you've got the best rival to Bobcat's Soyuz ever since the RocketCo model fell off the face of the earth.

In any case, great work!

Many thanks :)

It is possible, launch vehicles sometime in the future, thought it would be a bit of a new direction for the pack!

Looks fantastic! Can't wait for the Cygnus! :D

Thanks!

Here's some more...

Hopefully the bump mapping pulls it together!
