Guest Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Beale, I tried to wrench myself away from your Russian-centric mod and do some NASA stuff, but where did I find myself?Strolling up to this station, of course.Absolutely stellar (no pun intended, OK, maybe a little) work. Just fantastic. Thanks for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordLemonFaceOfLemonistan Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Can we have a quick sneak peek at some of the stuff you are planning to make Beale? (Personally, I wold love to see the PPTS!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisK Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I replaced the old Tantares models on my ISS with the new ones. They look great. Thank you for the remodel, Beale!Javascript is disabled. View full albumI've added part of the Russian segment based on @curtquarquesso's design.There's a farshot Soyuz and a couple of Progresses attached. I've been using them as tugs to get all the parts in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this a complete new build or some editing magic with the previous station? Something, something Parom space tug... Pip pip!I really love the angled nozzles.

FlyMeToTheMinmus Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Beale, I have to say after playing ksp for a year now with mods the whole time, Tantares is the one mod I keep coming back to. Everything about this mod is great and keep getting better, right down to how well it compliments stock imo.Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsnh Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Is the texture on the Mianbao having issues in the new soyuz update, or is it a problem on my end?Also - Cannot tell you how happy I am about the new docking light part. I've literally been waiting since the first Tantares release I found for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't Titan II, I don't know what it is. Maybe Beale will enlighten us come morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordLemonFaceOfLemonistan Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Ooooo!

curtquarquesso Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Tantares Craft Files v2.1 is up! Link is in my signature.To kick it off, I recorded a demo of the new Venera 9 craft file. Some of the new craft include:Gemini and Agena Target Vehicle (No lifter yet, can't find one I like) (Inspired by the LIFE magazine hanging on my wall.)Sputnik 1 (Fairing system is really historically accurate.)ISS Zarya and Zvezda (Just finishing up Pirs and Poisk now)Almost every craft got touched or refined in some way. The biggest change was making almost all ports 0.9375m, and making craft generally less dependent on my TweakScale config so they're not as borked for people who don't want to use them. Progress vehicles were removed pending Beale's Progress revamp at some point. N1 was broken by update 28, so I'm going to need to downgrade and salvage it. More images can be found in a new album for v2.1 in the original post in my signature. Enjoy! Edited June 3, 2015 by curtquarquesso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a continuation of the Blue Streak.I've never heard of the Europa ETS alternate history design (It was actually a real design? heh), but you should be able to approximate that closely!I'm thinking of a Black Arrow too, but it's payload capacity seems too small to be useful in KSP, it could be buffed up a little I suppose.Any texture space leftover, I'll make Prospero http://img98.rajce.idnes.cz/d9802/10/10447/10447390_7baedd9cfb1ead1a3fc4c0161e06b526/images/screenshot28.jpg?ver=0Electric plane!This is the first I've seen like this, it's very nice Is it... single stage to Mun...?Tantares Craft Files v2.1 is up!

Kibble Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's the Black Knight! Which is a continuation of the Blue Streak.Black Knight was not derived from Blue Streak. In fact, it was designed to test and verify the Blue Streak reentry vehicle. The rocket engines you are portraying appear to be the RZ2 rocket engines, not the four-chamber Gamma rocket engine used on Black Knight, or the eight-chamber Gamma used on Black Arrow.

I'll be posting a teaser for my next project hopefully before the weekend. Stay tuned. Are you planning on releasing the Black Prince in Tantares, TantaresLV, or AB Launchers? A 1.875m lifter fills a nice spot in the stock KSP livery. In the spirit of today's announcement, the Virgo II Lunar Lander has been worked on a bit. Performs better, and looks better. Make sure you grab a Pre-War U.S.A. flag for the mission!Hype... Hype never changes... Edited June 3, 2015 by curtquarquesso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pTrevTrevs Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 With that link titled "this announcement", I thought you were referring to the 50th Anniversary of Gemini 4. Then I clicked the link.Anyway, I will probably fly a Gemini 4 mission this afternoon. If you want some good pictures of Gemini, I can supply then.R.I.P. Ed White. At least Jim McDivitt is still alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
