Beautiful! How did you get the fairings so smooth?

Simple :wink: It's actually two fairings - one clipped into the TKS' rear command pod (I can't recall the source right now, but, as I read, its outer ring actually was the ship's fairing base) and the other acting as an interstage. The docking port is, naturally, attached to the FB and clipped outwards. Here's what the whole setup (minus the rocket) looks like:

BTW, the same clip-in technique was used for LOK's interstage, if anyone's curious.

And while I'm still here, I have a bug to report: the Soyuz fairing (T-APS) fails to jetisson, but the model becomes transparent for the ship (it passes through when separated). Can you do something about it?

@Deltac@Drakenex I'm loving the new color schemes for Tantares. I have two requests, however. Could a set of recolors be done for the Soyuz docking ports? Also, I noticed there is no green version of the Older Service Module. Was that intended? You guys have done a phenomenal job, keep it up.

I'll check up what can be done for the docking ports.

Unreleased but I've made one

Happy Launches!

I really had a little giggle here (As quiet as possible at 1am).

Very clever! I love your designed.
We will have to think about this when doing Polyus.

Re: the T-APS, erm I cannot reproduce this, do you have any pictures to help?

@Beale I think I have made a pull request, but it's by first time doing something other than downloading a branch on github so I may have done something wrong

Thanks! Yes that looks perfect, I will integrate it when I have a moment.

 

Hopefully this will be a short fun project, well I am already having a lot of fun. The Fobos probe! Precursor to both the Fregat and Fobos Grunt.
It was generally a failure in reality, but Phobos 2 retrieved valuable Mars science, even if it failed the primary objective.

Yes! The Soviet Union's first and only attempt of a Mars-rover, the adorable Prop-M!

*snip*

Sadly, it doesn't appear to be easily possible in KSP, so this may be an item for the archive of failed plans.

 

Perhaps the Prop-M could be a deploy-able experiment part. it could be an autonomous soil experiment or a unique 'mini rover experiment' part

Everything shall be green!  >:D

Green TKS! Yay!

Be my guest.

Spoiler

Here is a Soyuz taking off. As you can see on the left, we're going to stage the LES and the fairing at the same time. Staging...

Here goes nothing!

But the fairing became ship-transparent.

Now let's try fairing first...

It works!

And the LES first...

Mind the staging sequence again: the fairing isn't staged yet, but is already marked as spent and will behave as in case 1.

All in all, this is some weird fairing behavior, IMO.

I've seen that before, but I don't think it's a problem with tantares as I've seen it with other fairings. In my own experiences, it happens if you stage the fairing at the same time you decouple the thing that it's attached to.

Seems to be a bug present in stock, just tested it in my test install (no other mods) and I can replicate it.

Oh. A pity, then...

Nice ideas! 
But the main unfortunate problem is that it just cannot move by itself.

Oh that's really beautiful! Great job!

Looking good! @Beale, Any chance of getting flags back on the various parts that used to have them?

For sure yes,

I have been meaning to do it for a while, but it's a very boring job :D

It is one less problem for me :D but, Im hope this bug is fixed.

I fixed it

Everytime this is posted, I will increase the colour saturation by 1.

Hi everyone! Back from some time off, I'd like to ask @Beale a question: where is (or why there isn't anymore) the shorter version of the Mir double cylindrical external tanks? I'd like to redo my ISS.

This is what I mean, they are needed for Zarya

Also, why there isn't a connector from medium size (Zarya crew compartment) to small size (4 way docking port adapter)? An example for this measure is the TKS capsule, but shorter and of course only structural

Welcome back :)

Unfortunately I have not made the half-lenght tanks yet, but there are some new Zarya parts (see below). 
The adapter is the bottom image.
