[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [16.1][28.05.2024][Mars Expedition WIP]

Sadly the way to make stock FX is a little  broken in the latest (and last ever) part tools. So I'm throwing it away. Waterfall will be a hard dependency.

Currently the optional waterfall patch adds some beautiful FX, but as a hard dependency I will tweak some of them to be a bit less resource intensive (shouldn't be any performance difference from stock FX).

R7 Revamp will probably take a while longer, i havent been having much time.
In the meantime any parts that i do finish are being placed on the TantaresLV github, and can already be used

As someone who's currently at the R-5 in his 'History of Spaceflight' career, I would say it would be great if the R-7 was sooner, but honestly the parts are so good either way it's not like it'll make a drastic difference.

Hmmm. So, it was just a test article with no service module or launch vehicle drawn up? 

Hmmm. @Pappystein You're a plethora of knowledge. Anything in your vault about Big VA?

Sadly, no  :(

On today's episode of Rockets and Space Exploration with Pappystein, Pappystein invades the Soviet archives to uncover any information on Big VA.  But will Pappystein escape the KGB Zombies?  Stay tuned!

I have enough trouble with the Alphabet Soup folks!

Actually, that isn't true, but it fits the narrative :D

@Beale Any plans for a Zenit revamp? :D

It's one of the up-to-date art assets in the mod, what do you feel needs revamping?

Nice! That makes me think, any Zvezda (the Soviet lunar base, not the ISS module) inspired parts planned?

In Unity / KSP Shaders:

Might tweak this (and soyuz) to have slightly softer blankets tbh, we'll see.

Thanks @Zorg @DylanSemrau for assistance w/ thermal blankets bake. More headache inducing than you would expect sometimes.

With all the revamp work going on is there any possibility of continuing and/or adopting the Soyuz side of @Invaderchaos's ASTP docking port?

Hasn't that part already been added?

As far as I have been able to tell the US side was released and is compatible with the current tantares apas ports, there was a version in the works at one point that was meant to go on a Soyuz.

Benjee10 did the docking port, not Invader.

Sorry, I thought that benjee10 made the current apas in the tantares mod and apas 89, not the one in bdb. I'm referring to apas 75 not 89.

Been working on a joint project between Bluedog Design Bureau and Tantares, a revamp for APAS 75 for the Apollo Soyuz Test Project. Coming soon!

I believe it was originally shown here along with the bdb variant, though the image links unfortunately appear to be dead.

Ah, I must have missed that or forgot about that. Invader is busy with IRL rocketry, so idk when they will be able to work on it.
