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. 

No worries, and also why I was inquiring regarding adoption. I would ask if I could adopt it myself but unfortunately the limits of my ksp modding skills seem to be tinkering with .cfg's at the moment.

Thanks for the reminder, I have the assets and will try for this update.

OMG FINALLY WE'RE GETTING A GOOD PIRS MODEL HELL YEAH

Also (since you're doing Pirs/Poisk), do you have any plans for a Progress revamp? since the parts are outdated by at least 2 years

And other Soyuz variants, like 7K-LOK.

No idea right now. Some stuff is older, some stuff is newer. What I work on next is by the whims.

On the topic of what stuff could be revamped I personally have a couple suggestions for smaller ones that idk if anyone else has thought of...

The first is the Dorado Fuel Vent which I just think could use a slightly updated model so it blends better with the new R-7 parts (maybe also a venting particle effect if at all possible but that's a secondary thing)

The other one is the antennas (the Octans and Atria ones specifically). My issue with these isn't really the appearances, more that they can be very hard to use in certain circumstances due to the limited set of angles they can deploy at. For me the biggest headache has been the Atria-Octans Basic HGA because it takes up a lot of space when it's folded which works fine on Soyuz but for things like Salyut it has to be placed pretty far down in order to not have it overhanging over the front and forcing the fairing to be awkwardly tall. I think this could be solved just by giving this antenna an option for an inverted deploy direction. (also I think the aft Kurs docking antenna from Soyuz-T/TM/TMA would be a good addition)

I am guessing the second thing would require a lot of tedious rigging work for the deploy animations so I understand if that isn't really something you would want to do.

 

Sorry for the long post and I hope I didn't come off too much like I was just complaining, these are just suggestions. I'm really excited seeing all the new stuff that's being worked on. c:

DM SAF Fairing

K2wnrC0.png

btw can i suggest u to make them on the real mesurments
like that fairing would be 2.75m instead of 2.5m (what it looks like) bc from what i found that fairing irl is 4.35m just a tad bit over proton that is 4.1m also makes space for a possible briz-m revamp cuz briz is exactly the diameter of proton so it would be 2.5m and a bigger fairing would allow it to fit in without beeing underscaled

There were some variants that flew with a fairing exactly the size of block D so one like that would be cool too

You have the wrong fairing, this is the DM-A / B fairing, not DMD+ - only 3.9m diameter.

There are 2 variants of this, one standard for 2.5m / Size 2, and another for the Blok D at 2.25m / Size 1.8

Definitely agree on this one, The fuel vent is already being reworked with the new Soyuz, but the antennas need new flexible options (I've butted heads playing with them myself). WIll have a think about it.

i.e. building them from the ground up with B9ps in mind.

I'm a bit confused here going through the pages since May. How many updates have there been to Tantares since the start of April? One or two? Is there a changelog somewhere that I missed in the OP?

awesome mod very high quility, my only issue is that its too big and takes a long time to load. (oh no too many cool parts)

You can go inside the folder and delete what you don't need, to prune the mod - it will load faster. Also make sure you have community fixes installed for optimised loading:

Best place to check is on the github for each mod, where I keep the changelog :) CKAN should also let you:
Just one release so far - the VA capsule. Some more stuff on the way.

@BealeIn light of recent events regarding KSP2 (the studio shuttering and all the devs being laid off) will you be returning to KSP1 modding full time? :D

I have a small request. Would it be possible to make the Vostok/Voskhod service module into a fairing base?

Back in the day, early versions of tantares the vostok avionics had this feature, i want this too so i added back myself with this module manager patch.

Tantares is 10 years old today (yes, really!). What a journey, I thought I'd throw up a few pictures from its development (thanks to those who helped me find these).
