notJebKerman Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Is the new E-Q8R a port that can dock to all other Soyuz ports? I've seen it being docked to both T-Q8R and T-4GZ but I just wanna be sure... And btw, here is the Zarya-inspired module I just installed to ISS (KSS?)

Beale Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) 13 hours ago, Legcutter said: Did a bit of googling, and look what a nice stuff I've found. A Salyut-based Kascad missle system with ten anti-satellite missles. A missle is basicly a pack of engines plus warhead. The station itself can be docked with for refueling and visiting by the crew of two for up to 7 days. Or it can be repurposed (as always) as a multiple nano-satellite or probe launcher for scientific study of some planets orbit, atmosphere and ground. There is enough stuff to release a pack of military vehicles someday - with Almaz, Soyuz-VI, Kaskad and something. Holy cow! I did not expect this to be so fun! And so effective too! I might have to try it out on a space station! @notJebKerman That's amazing! The kind of stuff I love to see Edited April 3, 2017 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerpyFirework Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 @Beale, the realplume configs appear to have dissapeared. I can't find them in the download anywhere (maybe they got lost in git somehow?). I've also just submitted a new PR for the FGB engines.

You will have to forgive my lack of experience with this I will merge as soon as next pre-release. Too labour intensive at the moment, but when I have some free time, it would be nice to give everything bump-maps.

Beale Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Experimental Jet Proton (How much can I avoid finishing the first stage?) + multi-node module. A strange rocket on the pad. Maybe not much of a surprise, but it turns out jets have limited use. Here it is! A nerve-recking approach, with limited fuel and electricity. But, a precise docking later. It's looking a bit more even now... I wonder what that could be in aid of. 6 ports above for fuel tanks, 5 ports below for visiting spacecraft.

You return at last. Yes, Polyus (Or the larger Skif family) is planned, along with functional laser (for peaceful mining purposes, of course).

Old Tantares is more complete, but (IMO) much lower quality - it also contains more random craft selections (American Cygnus, Japanese Fuji). Spektr!

Cool, so will new Tantares have the same parts as old Tantares just with better textures? (I really hope it does, my entire lifter series uses parts from Cygnus, Soyuz, etc.) If not, will you keep those parts up to date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not, I'm kind of re-focusing on some areas I care more about, and chopping off the bits I care less about. End result hopefully much better quality and balanced pack. 11 hours ago, NeoFatalis said: It looks like Sputnik 3! (Btw, are there any plans for probe parts?) You're not wrong! Personally, for probe parts - maybe. But, I currently use and enjoy very much @akron's Probes Plus. Github Spektr release. You can (kind of) build the entire MIR structure now. But, there is a lot of fluff-parts to still do. What are we lacking? Well: (Marked bold are questionable items). Priroda (Have the basic FGB body, but missing the big antenna, a lot of science parts). Kvant-1 (Still missing the tug). Docking Module (A full MIR module on it's own right, but bundled in with the Progress parts). Progress itself. FGB RCS parts (They're kind of cool). FGB cargo-bay to keep @tjsnh happy (And myself to be honest). FGB Radiator Mir-2 Truss. Mir-2 Poisk / Pirs. Mir-2 Micro-modules (Progress based). Mir-2 Mega solar array. Mir-2 Solar concentrator. Shorter monopropellant tanks. Man, I got a mild form of depression reading that list! Edited April 5, 2017 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More career! You know what time it is! Buckle up. Proton multi-core launches! It's awful! So awful! But, the Argon power module is delivered to a safe orbit, 200km in the sky. Might as well check they work. The good old station lies ahead. A lot of great science has taken place here, but, is it time to start phase 2? Bad things will happen here. Retract the solar panels just to be safe... That went well! The station, now with a decent source of power, awaits the next crew (Scheduled to visit in the upcoming 'Alnair' prototype).

Spike88 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) I have to say I love your mod @Beale. When 1.2 came out, I was waiting for @CobaltWolf's BDB Skylab to come out to start an East Vs. West type career with them eventually meeting up to form @cxg2827's ISS. Now I'm waiting for you to release Proton K and Salyut/Almaz followed by the rest of MIR so I can start my career.
