Beale Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) FYI Part mods working automatically in 1.8 is not a given, due to DDS texture changes. Proceed at your own risk Any reckless brave people, if you encounter any issues it is a big help as I debug these things. Little preview of goodies with this major rebalance: Full green for Progress, the Soyuz green recolour now matches all the other green parts.

Beale Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Wrapping up. Taken another pass on rebalance. A little tweak is that the star motors pictured below can now run on LFO, also Monopropellant, so can be used on multiple stations now. On top of that, many many little tweaks to tech tree, and a complete pass on part names for a common convention. BY THE WAY Rokot may no longer happen - but something that I think more people would actually want / like is possible Edited October 19, 2019 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorg Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Yay! So hyped for this release with the new Salyut parts. With regard to RealPlume now Tantares and Tantares LV both will be supported by RealPlume stock. An update is coming very shortly (by tomorrow latest) that will add configs to all Tantares and TantaresLV engines using all new plumes.

t6jesse Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Is this update still good on 1.7.3? I don't have internet so I can't check it myself, but I'm planning on staying with 1.7.3 for a little while Love the work you've done @Beale, this is really an incredible mod. Looking forward to the tech tree balance pass actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the tech tree balance pass actually It almost certainly should work on 1.7.3 (Back to 1.4 really), let me know if you have any issues.

Beale Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) 20 hours ago, Abpilot said: UR-700? or LK-700? That's correct, partially! I think most people will prefer this to Rokot. Just to stress, the UR-700 is not included in this, and that means I will not be making the trans lunar injection stage. This can reasonably be made using existing mods, or replaced with any other stage with similar capabilities.

You can probably see above the hardware is very similar. Edited October 21, 2019 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golkaidakhaana Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Wait, I'm... confused. So rokot is off the tables, but instead you'll be making LK700 but no UR700? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: LK-700 - it will most likely be balanced in KSP for Duna landing (1x scale) - so it does push the horizons of Tantares a little further. You would previously need a frankenstein LK, or use other mods (Which I still recommend fully) to get down there safely.
