dimovski Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The shorter nozzles are a lot better! Outstanding work Beale! And the new Soyuz capsule... wow! Now I'd like to make my own Zond mission... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niemand303 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I have thinking maybe to flip the Grey and white, so white lowerI agree with that, if you look on the Soyuz and Progress photos you may see that the white pat is on the lower half of SM.

ste1701 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Tantares revamp looks beautiful! I just hope it won't break saves with the new part sizes.What if you make the periscope an animated part of the descend module, instead of a different part?

CrisK Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Flamerboy, To embed IMGUR albums use the curtquarquesso, Great MIR!Here is a picture of my incomplete MIR with the new TAC file installed. As you can see, the TST Oxygen system, TST Water Purifier, and TST Bckup Oxygen generator can be toggled on or off.If TAC fuel balancer is installed then it can be configured to automatically transfer oxygen, food, and water to the crewed modules, and move waste to the Progress. The TST generators use TaranisElsu's calculations, so they should keep the entire station supplied with enough oxygen and water for up to 8 kerbals.I thought about adding a hydroponics module to the TKS's orbital block to convert waste+water into food, but I didn't add it because it seems too futuristic for Tantares' theme. If anyone's interested I can upload the config file with the hydroponics system.[imgUR]a9BC6">Javascript is disabled. View full albumAnd a bonus, a shuttle launch with a Proton. The first stage lifted the light shuttle out of the atmosphere easily. Then something strange happened: it spun out of control as soon as it passed the 75,000m mark. I don't know why, but I could not get it to stabilize. The launch was a failure, but all of the parts were recovered. At least it produced some attractive screen shots!On an unrelated note, I hate the MKII inline clamp. It is a real pain to use when docking, and it is non-functional in the SPH or VAB.Javascript is disabled.

Niemand303 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Oh, I remembered one idea I had in mind for revamp: since Alnair is being remade too, may we have in addition to cargo bay and habitat thing a half-length cylinder, a fuel/life support tank and a KAS storage? It would make Alnair more flexible, just like a real TKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make Alnair more flexible, just like a real TKS. Sure, why not Edit: I did not modify the Soyuz/TST Crew module. I'm not sure where the configuration for that is located. Beale, is there a config for that? If not, would you like me to make one?I assume it used default TAC values, thus was missing a specific config?Don't know.If you would like, go ahead Real cool.

I hope that other TAC users find it useful.Sorry for spamming the thread. This is my day off and I've wisely decided to blow the morning by playing KSP. Here is a stock +Procedural Wings + Tantares "MIG-like" SSTO spaceplane.Javascript is disabled.

CrisK Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Really nice!Do RAPIERS confuse kerbal engineer that much? It looks like a space bullet! Reminds me of Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon"Thanks! It is very easy to fly: it is perfectly balanced, and the wheel position means that it will lift off on its own. Just press the space bar and it will naturally assume a 10-15% incline. Unfortunately, the TWR is low and the lift is also low; fighter jets were not meant to go to orbit! Also, FAR limits the thrust of jets by 50% by default, and further limits the Rapier to the point where it's almost unusable for SSTO spaceplanes.Here is the craft file if anyone wants to play around with it. Flying in NEAR or with the B9 engines makes it shoot up like a "space bullet". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleDavidJeans Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) http://puu.sh/eGNet/9b9861ef2a.jpgI don't know why you would want to make a suicide ship (except when used as ferry craft), but heck yeah anyway!EDIT: Oh, also, is the Mianbiao module going to get a makeover (at least in the texture aspect of things) to fit in with the new Soyuz?

Beale Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 I just want the SM to be less scratched.I always loved your serious fresh from factory shiny style. Those "kerbaly" scratched parts are ugly for me.Unity plays tricks with the specular (Or really I take specific camera angles). In general it looks less scratchy, it just appears to have some texture.Thanks! It is very easy to fly: it is perfectly balanced, and the wheel position means that it will lift off on its own.

I will give it a play around with.I don't know why you would want to make a suicide ship (except when used as ferry craft), but heck yeah anyway!It'll find some use eh? Docking port.Well, I am not sure if I should stick with similar to what is currentSomething closer to the real one, but still abstracted a little.Or something more resembling a replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimovski Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hmm, interesting design. Could make some sort of Proto-Zond. Or, if somewhat stretched, the L4+service compartment.PS:The abstracted one looks way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, some of the texturing is out of date. Edited January 18, 2015 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimovski Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'd go with something lower (the "belt", I mean), and gray like the rest of the craft...And as you're redoing these docking ports anyway, would you mind adding a big female port (the same way the big male port works with a tapered plate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Will the docking port without the probe be redone to look like it has a drouge in it?

Will we get one of those too?Not sure, like this?Seems like it would be a large use of polygons for something mostly un-noticed.maybe IGLA: I'll make KURS first, get that done, they see about IGLA.Also, the docking light (?)This groovy cat:- - - Updated - - -Docking Boy- - - Updated - - -Docking Boy Edited January 18, 2015 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
