It uses 5 RD-0169 engines on the first stage. Coming sometime to Eisenhower Astronautics....

I don't expect this. I use the unpopular (I adjust the balance myself) Contares RUS, in which ... there is even "Zarya" with a vertical fit and "Big Union"

There is also the Angara rocket. Yes, of course the textures are not perfect ... but the geometry, as for me, is at the highest level, even though the mod is pretty old.

Are the texture variants a part of TINC or some other pack?

(lol this is such a dumb question)

No plan for that, just some random colour ideas.

 

Prop-F "Frog" Surface Hopper

I am aware it used legs to hope IRL, though this is partially possible in KSP, it doesn't work well.

Therefore a "burst fire" engine was used to give similar results.

Perhaps you cold make the engine use EC and remove the plume/sparks only to simulate using leg motors? Maybe it could also be implemented by making an animation of legs moving to go with engine firing. Adding an engine seems like a balansed and simple solution, but it limits the uses of the Frog by it's fuel tanks.

Really cool! Can’t wait for Ike expeditions with it!

1F science platform, some other stuff idk.
A little caution these parts are still quite WIP, and the science parts are not well defined yet.

The Prop-F frog is still in there also, which is due to be removed.

What EXACTLY caused the Prop F to be called off?

so..... the Prop-F Frog is still alive,but It's inside a Hidden Cryo Chamber still in Development?

You could in theory save this version of the mod wait till a future version then take the Frog and place it there.

What limiting factor forced you to take it out?  That last gif showed it was hopping around nicely on it's new explosive diet

Unfortunately it's hitting some undocumented behaviour with module jettison (this isn't in the version on git). There are a couple more things I can maaaaybe try, but it's not looking good for the little man.
