I think it's fine the way it is. 7 minutes ago, NeoFatalis said: Yeah the textures of the new ATV are kinda boring when you compare it to the current one , the new ones look to me like some generic fuel tank Here are old and new side-by-side. The old part certainly does not look bad, considering its age. But, there are a few problem: Too high texture density. Thermal blanket textures look poor, "thermal sweater vest" more like. Old part will look wrong next to new Porkjet stock parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you do make a good point, I do agree with Venom that the new texture just looks... bland. I suggest adding some color to it. Make it pop.

captainradish Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) I did find this picture of a V-2. It makes me wonder if KSP in general is too grey. Edited June 4, 2016 by captainradish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny88 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Question: are there any grey or dark grey fairings that go well with Tantares parts? I do not have tweakscale configured for Tantares, so I cannot use those fairings for larger launch vehicles. Any tips on how to do that?

Remotetech is fun, but damn does it require a lot of infrastructure. I've gotten pretty good at setting up Molniya orbits, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayyy, that reminds me of that one mission i did back in like 2014 with Apollo-Saturn V but it had an LK lander instead of LEM. Edit: i found it!

Guest Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm trying for an Apollo Block V on a Soyuz booster, but KSP keeps crashing. I've gone from mashup to just plain mushy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per request of @MrMeeb Just my personal preference, but can you do this new texture for Soyuz AND keep the old grey texture in the alternate configs folder? I would still like to have the all grey version for early R-7 versions (Sputnik, Molniya, etc.) and then this version for Soyuz flights. On 6/3/2016 at 11:50 AM, Beale said: I would also ask for preferences on what to do next. I have a few suggestions: Ariane 5 I wholeheartedly agree it needs an upper stage, preferably all of versions flown or planned . I also think that 3.125m would be a good size for Ariane 5, and 1.875m for the boosters. ATV Rivets and indents are always nice visually, something to somehow make the blanketed part pop... I like the Cygnus color, that tan color could be your standard for "cargo craft" Colors Yellow for Mono propellant is established and possibly Cygnus Tan for Cargo, Maybe Orange for Soyuz related LFO parts Maybe Red highlights on Proton LFO parts (to represent the different type of IRL fuel, even though it is still an LFO in game?) Blue highlights on parachute parts? Soyuz 2-1v I would really like to see a fuel tank for the core stage of the Soyuz that is shorter for no booster configurations like the Soyuz 2-1v. Tantares already has the tank on the left and the one I'd like to also see in Tantares is the on the right. Who knows, maybe some sort of NK-33/RD-191/RD-181 engine can also be made for such rockets... Keep up the great work Beale, and most importantly, do what you want to do next.

Joeybafoey Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 How does one go about producing the L3 Moon Expedition Complex (the moon landy thingie part of the N1, hence the name N1-L3)? I know all of the parts are there, but I don't know how to build the LK Lander, or the stage below Blok D, or the Soyuz 7K LOK. Does anybody know how to build this?
