AppleDavidJeans Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Here is the Bop-Pol grunt in all of its glory!http://i.imgur.com/gqTVa4v.pngThe lower section is the orbiter that will orbit both Bop and Pol (it should have enough dv), while the lander will land on Bop or Pol, i haven't decided yet (which one do you guys think is more intersting? Bop or Pol?)Unfortuately i will have to wait a bit to launch it beacuse the Jool window is still far...what mod is that orbiter tank/engine from? I know it's a fregat, but where?

Urban_K Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 BTW, Beale: I suggest that you don't name it Agena - to avoid any possible confusions with real Agena. FOBO is a pretty cool name - I think you should leave it.Or maybe Hadar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just joking, everything is awesome! I've started "Iskhod" (it means "Exodus" in English, if i remember correctly) project, with it's goal to make one way to Laythe Trip. Secret launches of Proton and N-1 at night delivered parts for an unprecedented habitat module housing... 51 Kerbals! Here is the construction process. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make a compact propulsion system. BTW, who will guess what is hidden under the fairings on the top of the spaceship? Javascript is disabled.

Reichtangle Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've changed it to Carina *insert sarcastic voice*Nooooo! Baht I lieked it as FOBO. Plus none of the other cores are called anything special. Will the core still stay as FOBO? Because we could think of a great acronym. And by we, I mean everybody here on this thread.

Hmm.It's just three SXT's large aircraft fuselages on a 2.5-3.75 stock adapter. And about that payload, you are right, it's a FOBO "beacon", which will mark the landing site.

AppleDavidJeans Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Beale, could you make an Instrument Unit for the Proton that could apply torque and provide electricity, perhaps also unmanned control for the 3rd stage (and the payload)? It'd be useful especially for those that like to launch their rockets using MechJeb. Here's my concept of how it'd be crafted:You could split the 3rd stage into two pieces along that red line, the stage itself below it (and probably take out some fuel for that) and the IU above that line, so that it'd be a two-for-one deal.

After all, Proton does have IU on its 3rd stage.Although, such thing would be somewhat useless for MJ users without a patch that adds MJ to every probe core - you'll still need to strap AR202 case to it.

And yeah, most would still have to put on the case. Then again, before I installed the patch, I almost always put the case on the payload and not the rocket itself, unless I wanted to save the rocket for later. Without the case, the IU would still be useful in that it'd provide the torque necessary to fine-tune the combined stage/payload's orientation in burns such as circularization, interplanetary transfers, deorbitings, etc, and also in providing electricity should the payload need to wait a few orbits before burning, if mission requirements call for power generators to be deployed after such burns are complete. :l Edited October 5, 2014 by AppleDavidJeans 100th post!

Lord knows I can pump out nice models from engines to complex solar panels and their deployment animations. I just cannot texture.

They're the only ones I've got this far in the tech tree (have not even landed at the Mun in this save). I've also been using HGR together with this mod to give me a Vostok-like starting capsule and for the Soyuz style fuel tanks, fits very well.
