[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [16.1][28.05.2024][Mars Expedition WIP]

[Guest]

I just skimmed the Excalibur-Almaz site to see if they had any additional material. Aside from some rather interesting (read: oddball) artist's concept drawings, they do reassure potential investors that the TKS has a cracking good launch escape system. Do skip ahead, because the clip is a real snoozer.

Grey is not exactly popular,  but personally, you cannot really have very colourful parts and parts that all fit together - monochrome is the name of the day.

If anyone has ideas for making practical colour, I would really appreciate it.

You could just have, instead of entirely-colored parts, just have lines and pieces of color that don't go across the entire part, but enough to make it look different from the grey. or even have different shades of grey.

I hear there's at least 50.

If somebody can show how to put a poll on, I would put it for debate

YES!!! Finally what I need to resupply my stations. I'm going to try to make some Kerbalism configs for the different parts. I just need to figure out how much stuff to put in.

Is this going to have support for usi-ls?

Not if you don't make configs.

ModuleManager has a way to add configurations to other parts.

It's best if you use the <> code brackets if you want to dump a config onto the forum pages. I've sifted through it and there was a typo on one of the amounts. Best bet is to re-load the original and try this MM patch below and see if that does what you need:

@PART[Tantares_Crew_1]:NEEDS[USILifeSupport]
{
	RESOURCE
    {
    	name = Supplies
        amount = 50
        maxAmount = 50
    }
    RESOURCE
    {
    	name = Mulch
        amount = 0
        maxAmount = 50
    }
}

Very much! But I was sure polls could be integrated directly in the forum post, maybe my memory is of VBulletin

 

GitHub

Progress Orbital Module, it has KIS space, a little fuel and a crew capacity of one (Funnily enough, the real craft is classified as 'manned' due to its pressurized section and crew access).
Balance feedback is really appreciated here - Maybe remove the fuel from the orbital module?

Edited May 6, 2017 by Beale

Looking good! From my understanding, the OM is for supplies and cargo, and the Control Block has the fuel (LF/O/MP). So, you'd be looking at Oxygen/Food/Water/Nitrogen as well as Waste/Waste Water (Kerbalism), and similar setups for the other life support modules, as well as KIS space. Just my $0.02.

Tantares is "Some parts sold separately" 

Test of launch escape system (yes, we build whole rocket for best results!)  I also added a node to the top of the VA control antennae

Yeah, good points here, I will remove the fuel in the OM.

Do the life support mods usually have standalone resource containers? You can put them in the KIS storage maybe? Need to take a look.

Awesome! I love it. But, I am not convinced till seeing the crew capsule safe on the ground  

Good point to add a node to the controller.

Yes, but then you need an engineer to bolt it to the side of the station/ship, transfer it to the main storage, then unbolt it and put the empty container back inside to burn up in the atmosphere when Progress deorbits.

Sounds great! When do I start?  

To be honest, full life support would be great, but I have no idea how to balance it.

How many days of food, water, o2 should Progress carry up?  I'll probably write up a TAC-LS config if nobody else wants to.

It is around 100 days supplies IRL right? 

That would be very cool if you wrote that, I am not familiar with what flavours of life support exist today?

[overkill13]

Here's code for 90 days supplies for 4 crew.  Standard crew of 3 will get 120 for a little extra leeway.

        name = Water

Can you try a completely clean installation? Delete old first, then place new in.

I deleted the old update, and placed in the new... and I still have the untextured cargo bay, Spektre, and antennas. Nevermind, antennas were fixed.

okay now i'm really confused. Where am i suppose to put that code? 

Ps: If you can't already tell, i have never done this before
