FYI Part mods working automatically in 1.8 is not a given, due to DDS texture changes.

Proceed at your own risk :)
Any reckless brave people, if you encounter any issues it is a big help as I debug these things.

 

 

Little preview of goodies with this major rebalance: Full green for Progress, the Soyuz green recolour now matches all the other green parts.

Wrapping up.

Taken another pass on rebalance. A little tweak is that the star motors pictured below can now run on LFO, also Monopropellant, so can be used on multiple stations now.
On top of that, many many little tweaks to tech tree, and a complete pass on part names for a common convention.

BY THE WAY Rokot may no longer happen - but something that I think more people would actually want / like is possible

Yay! So hyped for this release with the new Salyut parts.

With regard to RealPlume now Tantares and Tantares LV both will be supported by RealPlume stock. An update is coming very shortly (by tomorrow latest) that will add configs to all Tantares and TantaresLV engines using all new plumes.

Is this update still good on 1.7.3? I don't have internet so I can't check it myself, but I'm planning on staying with 1.7.3 for a little while 

Love the work you've done @Beale, this is really an incredible mod. Looking forward to the tech tree balance pass actually

It almost certainly should work on 1.7.3 (Back to 1.4 really), let me know if you have any issues.

UR-700? or LK-700?

That's correct, partially!

 

 

I think most people will prefer this to Rokot.

Just to stress, the UR-700 is not included in this, and that means I will not be making the trans lunar injection stage. This can reasonably be made using existing mods, or replaced with any other stage with similar capabilities.

what mods recreate UR-700 just curious keep up the great work my friend  

You can get 90% of the way there with Restock - I made this in 5 minutes, but taking a little longer it could be made something that is very close, it's all 2.5m tanks :)

In the right mood, maybe I will make one that flies :D

In another life and a different game, maybe this would be best handled with a genericset of Universal rockets parts for Proton and Ur-700. You can probably see above the hardware is very similar.

Wait, I'm... confused. So rokot is off the tables, but instead you'll be making LK700 but no UR700?

That's correct - I think relatively few people wanted Rokot, and I've become less enthusiastic on it.

Re: LK-700 - it will most likely be balanced in KSP for Duna landing (1x scale) - so it does push the horizons of Tantares a little further. You would previously need a frankenstein LK, or use other mods (Which I still recommend fully) to get down there safely.

I'm a bit confused, CKAN says Tantares 19 is good for KSP 1.8, but not 1.7.3 anymore, while TantaresLV 12.1 is still for just KSP 1.5

Here I read:

Thanks for clarification (I'm playing KSP 1.7.3 and will continue for a good while, not joining the 1.8 bandwagon any soon) :)

but good to hear in any  case
