Very nice recreation! Did you build it in parts or is it a whole craft?

I built it in parts, recreating each module (core, Kvant-1/2, etc). I ended up replacing Kvant-1 and Kristall after having docked them because I just didn't like some stuff about them. A few goofs here and there were easily fixed by removing parts on EVA with KIS. I had built the docking module with the two big block things on the side but after getting it docked I realized that those blocks are the solar panels that were later added to Kvant-1 so I took them off with a quick EVA. I launched Kvant-1 with the big Sofora and Rapana girders on the side, which made the rocket pretty painful to control, but if I had KIS installed at the time I would have just packed them on the side and detached/reassembled them in orbit.

I'm really liking that VA capsule and heatshield. Do you have any plans to create the Federation capsule?

But can you Kliper?

Off course my friend!

Again, 95% Tantares and 100% wütender Deutscher free :P

Beale had it, then abandoned it, but is easy to restore:

Let me know if you want more info!

If you could only have one...

My only ask is that it's a separate part because I'm using that pod a lot in my playthrough and would prefer its basic shape/size doesn't change  :)

What's in that nosecone? I always seem to have something to attach to the tops of my pods - either parachutes, docking ports or maybe RCS.

I like the one on the right, though it should be a separate part.

Just a quick clarification, of course, it will be a separate part :)

The nosecone is two parts, a service section and a parachute section, or maybe a drogue and main chute, not sure yet.

We can now finally launch the N-1 Lunar Missions.

You're missing block G (Stage IV).

N1-L3 in real life colors circa 1969, I'm going to pack it some time tonight.

Obviously both, I don't know why but I'll need them for sure

Speaking of which... @Beale, I'd say that by now the link to this mod does belong in the first post. Would you? :wink:

+1 :D That sounds like a good idea

Yeah, I realized I picked the wrong picture after I posted, LMK when you get those new textures uploaded, they look real sharp!

The one on the right, the more pointy one.
Preferably with an attachable mesh. Or even a small flat top or attachment point for an antenna (or whatever) which would be jettisoned when the chute pops.

^ adding an attach node might be nice actually! It'll look dumb if used incorrectly so that's not really your problem if users abuse it :P

Taking LK Lunniy Korabl up for a test...

That's cool! I remember reading the LEO LK did not have legs, but cannot find the source now.

Dunno how many times it's been asked, if at all, but any plans for Energia/Polyus parts

It's coming along nicely... :wink:

I will put it to two parts, so you could have a docking port or something on the main parachute, and depending on the mission you can have an extra drogue chute instead.

Thank you! And I guess not including them makes sense, especially considering I had to add multiple structural parts between the engine and the fairing in order to get it to fit inside...

This is looking SO COOL  :D  Is the top node a standard 0.625m?

Indeed it is :cool:

I have updated GitHub for TantaresLV with the new Energia textures.

 

@Drakenex @HooHungLow I did not quote all your posts, but no complaint, I am really loving these crafts!

A - the way you setup the extended taper with that structural part = THANK YOU!

B - the idea with the attachment node on top wasn't so much for a docking port, but more to mount a little transmitter like the actual LK-700 mock-up had:

Even still, this will make for a pretty good LK-700 capsule stand-in - THANK YOU!

Ohhhh, well actually it is the LK-1 ahahaha.

There is the extra drogue which will also have a node, so you can still make the LK-700.
