Nice touch with the arrows!

Always nice to see! Hopefully we shall have much more beautiful Salyut parts in the future! :)

Sounds exciting! I am sometimes tempted to have a go at recolouring Soyuz/Salyut parts myself, but me and Gimp don't get on well. I'm more of an MSPaint man!

Wrap-around OKS panels :)

This is also great! I'm going to have to upgrade from 1.1.2 at some point.

I'm not sure how you expect me to challenge your point if I can't address it.

So please clarify for me, what was my point and how exactly are you challenging it? I really don't understand what your'e trying to put across here.

Great job! but the inside of Blok G is similar to Blok D: a spherical oxidizer tank with a toroidal RP-1 tank. The RP-1 tank though, is a big rectangular in the way it curves. I'd take a picture of the illustration I got it from, but I'm not at home right now.

If you can acquire Photoshop (How you do that, I leave to your imagination), the recolour is a very very simple process, only two clicks of the fill bucket on the base layer :)

It's beautiful! You have a very classical drawing style :)

I am working on the N1 now, but with recent events I think what was, what is and what will be 'stockalike' is questionable, so I'm going to take a little break (And learn F#).

I think you should not worry too much about it; even if we don't get the revamp I think sticking with the improves porkalike style is a good move. In addition, there have been some rumblings in private circles about what the future of KSP might hold. :wink:

I agree yes, as long as whoever the new artist (if there will be one) does not do something silly with the style (Or go for 32 sided cylinders, god forbid).

Eh! As long as we get PBR :wink: 

Edit:
A small note, the KURS antenna were wrongly scaled (Change from 1.25 to 1.0)

They fit in the fairings very comfortably!

Re: the Libra Antenna B issue, it looks like a drag cube issue. Here is a snippet from the log when it is trying to create:

Thank you very much for digging!

I may try a re-export from Unity to avoid these strange problems.

Is it 1.2 compatible? Or still in the works? :)

In the works! :)

No no, it all works very nicely :) 

That stage 3 engine shown is 2.5m top, 3.75m bottom.

Then what is the top of the tank? I guess, I want to know what the diameters of each mating surface.

I think this is really the right call, if that design document is anything to go by the Porkalike redesign did a very good job of following the existing mod standards - it meshes very well with things like Ven's and Cryoengines.  I have more to say about making things match than anyone wants to hear, but one of two things will happen: the rest of the Porkjet parts will be completed and released, in which case we chose the right direction, or they won't and the stock parts will remain mismatched, in which case the modding community will need to create and use its own better standard, which might as well be the Porkalike anyway since so much already works with it.

Edit: Hey @Beale I know you're working on other stuff right now but any word on those extra RCS blocks? I'm kinda hoping you'll eventually cover all of the variations so I don't have to maintain mine...

Do you have off sizes?

@CobaltWolf You'd like that wouldn't you...

Ah! I mean the absolute top of the frustum is 2.5m :)

Sizes below (Saturn 5 interoperability? :wink:)

Block G  - 2.50m
Block V  - 2.50m -> 3.75m
Block B  - 3.75m -> 5.00m (24 sided cylinder to 32 sided cylinder)
Block A  - 5.00m -> 6.25m (32 sided cylinder to 48 sided cylinder)

They are all done (but, I didn't think to include the L-shape jets). :)
