Nice craft, thanks to @hraban for the nice little Travers. And sure, I will take a look. Some unknowns... | Wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First flight must be Kerbaled of course. Interesting expansion! It starts a little bit to remind me of: I have to wonder if the ports IRL could handle this level of strain from docking the modules that way, or would the station slowly creak apart. The ports on MIR were already re-inforced, and masts were placed from Spektr (Kvant?) to the core module. Polyus I am having a little headache with this one. The IRL application is not really suited to KSP, and I am not too interested in creating weapons (Anti-sat rockets for the Almaz may be suitable here though). It leaves two first ideas (Or any other suggestions) Large space station module (Not totally out there, Polyus did carry MIR-2 on its belly, and the modules may have formed the basis for the larger Energia launched MIR-2 station). The remaining questions is what are these very large modules purpose? ISRU craft. Interesting and a good fit for the large converter / ore tank. But, kind of niche, limited to asteroids and low-gravity worlds (But how do you land it then?!?!). Any good Polyus references, be sure to hit me up!

The ports on MIR were already re-inforced, and masts were placed from Spektr (Kvant?) to the core module. I think you touched on it - especially during MIR, they did a lot of work with developing in-orbit construction, often assisted by EVA astronauts. If needed they absolutely could have designed some way of reinforcing the ports, especially if they designed the ports in such a way to allow that prior to launch. Also, for my 2c on Polyus, I can only echo the sentiment of 'creating weapons in KSP is not interesting' (since, y'know, what's the point in a peaceful exploration game?)

Thanks...I'm with you and @CobaltWolf = zero interest in weaponizing KSP The Almaz would be interesting only insofar as creating some challenging launch profiles.

Labs bigger and more efficient than the current Mir stuff (but weighing and costing a lot because balance) is the first application that springs to my mind. Also, lasers, hmmm... What about integration with KSP Interstellar Extended? IMHO, Polyus acting as an "orbital energy transmitter" could make for some good endgame content. P.S. And instead of solar panels it would then carry radiators. Because who needs solar panels with a reactor onboard Edited September 25, 2018 by TK-313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbook Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 About the Polyus-issue: I would just make a new scientific experiment called “log ionosphere” , and call it a day. Lasers are invisible in space anyway so animations are unneccessary, and Polyus actually did have plenty of scientific value. (And lets not forget that most space technology has a military twin). I also agree with my co-posters that we shouldn’t militarize Tantares, so the anti-ICBM side of Polyus can be safely ignored, just like we can ignore the Space Shuttle as a nuclear delivery vehicle By the way, can anyone recommend me some good books about Mir? Russian-language is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Reonic Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 @Beale Have you considered making your own radial decoupler for the rockets that need them? I know we can use the stock ones, but I am curious. I know some of us like to use Janitor's Closet mod filters, and It would be nice to just be able to enable Tantares and TantaresLV in the mod filters and not have to have anything else enabled to build a rocket. Just a suggestion. Keep up the amazing work, Beale!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While figuring this out I will make a small TantaresLV addition. What is this? I will give you a limited clue...
