curtquarquesso Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Here is an update to my ISS build! I wanted to specifically show off the Pirs/Poisk modules made possible from this mod. Current part count is at 120 parts.Check the album for descriptions and details!http://imgur.com/a/xG36SBig photos https://i.imgur.com/rGo5eG3.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/ZkLorfL.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/iFQ7jHI.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/C1hiXh5.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/Bmwjn0f.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/ecVw9W4.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/WK2LZRl.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/eMOfaDl.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/xfMNb5H.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/1I2Foq7.pngThank you tantares!!!!EDIT: I just realized the station has a typo in its name EDIT 2: part count wrong, forgot to remove RCS thrusters on some modulesThis is officially one of the dankest ISS replicas I've yet to see. Incredible. I'll be traveling a bit today, but while I'm in the air, I should have time to complete the ATV solar panels. Finally have them figured.

curtquarquesso Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 So, I learned a lot about how solar panels work in KSP... Here they are actually working. Only thing left to do on them is stats, a little texture polish, and an animation speed tweak so they retract nicer. If anyone is interested in how to do this, I can describe the process, newb-to-newb. Any word on new .craft files?It'll be after the next Tantares update, that's for sure.

passinglurker Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 wow I have not been on in a while. (Oh look the gemini changed I'm gonna have to update hermes again without anything extra done cause I'm lazy >.>)Quick questions as I try not to hate stock early game career and get back into things is the vostok service module supposed to be purely structural, or did I glitch something overloading on mods? I could have sworn there were plans to make it do something... >.> also are all the tantares pods supposed to have built in SAS? its felt like so long its hard to tell what's intentional, what's a typo and and what's another mod's doing <.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoff123 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Does anyone have trouble reentering the atmo with the Vostok capsule? It seems like no matter what the reentry profile is (i've tried sooo many trajectories) i cant slow down below ~200 m/s. This is coming from an 80 km orbit. Nice work on the ATV panels! Very nice!!!

BLUAV8R Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 What mod has the big solar panels?Looks like KOS to meIt's the KOSMOS mod, with the solar panels resized by me a bit in scale to match the ISS solar array dimensions, also my texture is custom for them, I can share it if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakenex Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It's the KOSMOS mod, with the solar panels resized by me a bit in scale to match the ISS solar array dimensions, also my texture is custom for them, I can share it if you want Yes please!! Also if you can, more details, like those struts linking Destiny with the S0 truss, P1 and S1 materials, any soldering (Ubio) and some more details.Thanks in advance!!

BLUAV8R Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Yes please!! Also if you can, more details, like those struts linking Destiny with the S0 truss, P1 and S1 materials, any soldering (Ubio) and some more details.Thanks in advance!!Okay so here's the dirt:any soldering (Ubio)?Yes, LOTS. Each individual module that you can see attached by a docking port is basically ~parts. Each section is pretty much whatever the thing is (so all of Zarya is 1 part) and it's docking ports (so 3 more parts) and any animated parts like solar panels or radiators (so 2 more parts). So the whole Zarya section is 6 parts. This is how my station is at about 120 parts right now (127 with the Cygnus I just docked). If anyone wants a tutorial on how to part weld send me a PM and I can show you! It's really quite easylike those struts linking Destiny with the S0 trussAhhh yes the magic of Kerbal Inventory System and Kerbal Attachment System! The struts are from KAS and custom rescaled by me into another part that is 2x as large and strong and heavy for a bulkier look.P1 and S1 materialsThese ones sucked, but were the first truss segments I made without a skeleton to build around as I crafted my own (using references from other parts and pictures) Basically, I did this:- Build half hexagon shape out of pipes from the Infernal Robotics Rework (remodel?) mod and then attach a center "truss structure" using the in game trusses- According to reference photos I repeated this half hexagon up every 1.75m or so (i thnk)- Build the up and down pipes to connect every corner- Lastly, I covered up the "walls" with a bunch of wings from the Aero tab and started sticking on different greeebles and effects for aesthetics and realism.and some more detailsAll in all, very fun to build, very laggy to put together XD but the hardest and longest part (lol male genitalia joke goes here) is the building everything before I weld it all!Total time distribution:- VAB part making = 60%- Welding parts together = 8%- Building rockets and launching said parts = 10%- Docking = 2%- Waiting for ksp frEAKING LOAD EVERY TIME I NEED TO MAKE ONE LITTLE CHANGE TO A CONFIG FILE BUT DON'T WANNA JACK EVERYTHING UP FROM A "RELOAD ALL" IN SPACE CENTER = 20%And for the solar panels:I'm still waiting to hear from cardboardboxprocessor as to whether or not I can post a public link to my textures, but if he doesn't reply i'll post it and hope for the best XD in the meantime Drakenex check your messages Edited August 14, 2015 by Sippyfrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxonius Augustus Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Does anyone have a remotetech2 cfg for the tiny little loop antenna? Thanksthe RT patch can be found Here@curtquarquesso can we please get a 29.1 with the updated config? Beale and you and all the other contributors have made an amazing mod and its starting to bother me that the broken RT config is giving so many people so many problems. This patch has been available since the day after Tantares 29 came out, but the people who want it just cant find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think big Soyuz was a concept for an armed spacecraft. It was supposed to be a descent module that appears to be three times bigger than Soyuz, with a machine gun in place of the OM/docking port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylandro Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Some specs of the Big Soyuz "Big Tantares"The crew size will be four kerbals, obviously twice of that of the original Tantares. And the descent module's size is 1.25m at the top, and 2.5m at the bottom, and the propulsion module is 2.5m at the top and 3.75m at the bottom. If you guys want, i could scale it down.I'm still thinking about the IVA, there's no pictures of the interior of the Big Soyuz, so i'll be going by Zarya's interior. How about a split section IVA?For example: Edited August 13, 2015 by Sylandro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxonius Augustus Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Wait... "armed spacecraft?" "Soyuz, with a machine gun?"I beg your pardon?Presumably a counterpart to the Almaz stations (AKA Salyut 2,3 and 5.), they had a 23mm cannon.

kerbiloid Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Btw, the reentry module itself is the same - 2m form factor, 2 seats (not scaled up).Orbital module (below the reentry one) has 3 m diamater  the same as MOL or the small diameter of TKS.Two seats in the reentry were placed not side-by-side (as in common Soyuz), but 69 - as in old Dark Star movie.Between there was an additional hatch in the reentry's floor and heatshield  also as in MOL and TKS.

This patch has been available since the day after Tantares 29 came out, but the people who want it just cant find it.I'll push an update out tonight. Sorry for delays.It is difficult sometimes to do minor patches (Like 29.1), if I have a mountain of half-finished parts and half-updated part configs lying around. But, the Antares has been revamped now, so I can get this RT config out there.I might alter the upper stage, rather than an SRB that may be shut-down, perhaps it can have a "burn-off" mode, where it still uses fuel without producing any thrust...?I'm working on a little Tantares expansion of my own!http://i.imgur.com/UynEzGz.pngVery nice! I think big Soyuz was a concept for an armed spacecraft.
