Will the new Proton parts come to CKAN?

Of course, at least they should do automatically. Afaik CKAN entries for Tantares reference the github releases. if this is not the case please let me know, the spacedock versions are deprecated.

Are new SAF fairings to go with the revamped parts in the plans at all? Just curious

Thinking about it.

@BealeTo go with this update, do you think we could get dedicated hidden nodes for attaching FGB/DOS modules to Proton rockets, and dedicated interstage decouplers to go along with them, like in BDB, so we don't have to use the translate tool to adjust it anymore?

Is the RD-58 going to get revamped? If so, can it get a bare variant? That would be perfect for use with the Buran Orbiter Construction Kit.

As the maker of BOCK, I second this :D.

I would like to pur forward my support for this as well.

Discussion of KSP2 is off topic for Tantares.

@ the Tantares team:  Is there a todo list we can view of things you guys want to do with Tantares?  With the obvious caveat that the order of the list doesn't reflect importance or a timeline.

So far on the list we can see:

  • revamp Proton
  • Revamp R7/Soyuz rocket

 

If I may throw in some suggestions:

  • The Energia core stage is "too long".  This is in comparison with Hugoraider's Buran Orbiter Construction Kit.  I can get comparison pics when I get home, but honest just a minor detail compared to my next suggestion.
  • Revamp N1 again?  I'd like it if the 2nd and 3rd stage tanks had a mesh switch to add the shields and nodes on the shields for roll control thrusters (though we could just radial attach some thrusters to the shield section, probably don't need separate attach nodes).  Example image of the shield.   And then example image of where I think the thrusters are on the 3rd stage, and maybe a stick figure for scale for the heck of it.

Yeah, the more I think of it, just having the shields as an option and letting us radially attach stuff to them would be great, probably don't need to do a total revamp.

I think that's all I have to suggest to add to the great todo list of Tantares.  I look forward to seeing the team do some amazing things.  And get some sleep!

This is probably beyond the scope, but if the N1 is being looked at again, it could be interesting to see some parts for the older lunar proposal involving it. It's certainly a bit of an absurd design and a very interesting one, and the associated fuel tanker could certainly be more broadly useful.

I too would like a Bear variant of the RD-58!

This is the kind of thing we could have if even more people joined the team. :ph34r:

I'd offer myself if I knew how all of this stuff worked. Unfortunately I've ran into an insurmountable knowledge/understanding barrier every time I've tried to get into part modding.

It even has obscure details like the tilted tanks

Hands down one of the best things to happen to Tantares

A keen eye, it will be tilted in the final, but modelling flat for convenience.

Pretty sure it's a joke, but just in case, Buran OMS engines are RD-58S, would be nice to have it in Tantares :D.

Yes will definitely be doing 58, as well as the little Blok-D rcs pods (and the avionics donut).

 

Working on the foil a bit, new territory for Tantares really.

-Absolutely amazing image-

I realize this is a late request, but is there any chance of getting UR-100 and/or UR-200?

A bit late (Due to a small accident at home, we're all fine though :confused:) but i managed to do some more work on Soyuz.
Some of the parts should be on the github already. They're missing bulkheads but should have everything else proper
Feedback on texture tweaks, balancing, etc. is always welcome
Engines will be revamped soon, too.
