Is this an overhaul of all R-7 launch vehicles or just soyuz?

afaik yes, it'll be at least most of the R-7 family, so Soyuz, 2.1v, Voskhod and Vostok.

The N1 shroud for block B and V are not separating in half like the stock atomic rocket motor. I want to recreate the real N1 shroud that would separate in 3 parts after hotstaging if you know what I mean :D

Or I could just slap the N1 muner stack on energia vulkan :D

Alright

Can I get it?

For in dev stuff check the Tantares github repo (https://github.com/Tantares/Tantares), it's got most of the MEK / MOK / MPK stuff at the moment.

As far as I'm aware development is still ongoing so it should be done sometime in the near-ish future, or as many mod devs like to say, Soon™

I've decided I hate KSP and all things space exploration, and I'm leaving to take up goat herding.

How do I update Tantares?

I manually installed mine, so your procedures will be different if you used CKAN. What I did was delete all of my Tantares-related folders in GameData and installed the new ones from the download.

That upper stage reminds me of the old Tantares. 

Probably because that upper stage is legitimately like 6 years old lol.

Kinda wish Tantares had a proper third stage for Cyclone

Really nice setup. There are lots of weird upper stages out there that would be great to have, they always just kind of get edged out by other stuff I want to work on. One day maybe.

I don't have any MEK updates, sorry guys, not in a KSP mood. Maybe picking up again in a little while.
There is still to finish (roughly):

  • Landing leg tweaks.
  • Landing engines.
  • Aero fins.
  • Lander deorbit stage (may just say "use fregat").
  • IVAs
  • Earth Return Capsule (Modified VA).
  • General balance pass.

It's clsoe, it's nearly there, but only the annoying unfun stuff now really.

One of the possible variants of the air-space air defense system based on the Zenit or Soyuz launch vehicle and the Su-33 interceptor. Let's say right away - the given illustration has nothing in common (neither in terms of the interceptor aircraft, nor in terms of the launch vehicle) with the actual design studies conducted in the early 1990s.

Except maybe the stars on the wings of an airplane...

I assume that some sort of modifications were going to be made to the airplane. I pity the pilot having to coast in space with dead jet engines and a cockpit not space rated.

These MEK parts have been very fun to use in my current GPP career. I used some to make landers carrying tons of cargo to set up bases easily and some others to make reusable orbital vehicles.

The actual cargo vehicle is a bit hidden behind the base.

(I have a bad habit of making a lot of my low orbit crew vehicles just Ares-1 copies)
