I think after playing a little in Career mode, that some parts may need some changes in their tech tree positions. Like Pol and Tantares SM's, ALV tanks and some others.

Fair point. Along with the solar panels :)

When you get around to remaking the Fuji, I have but one request: PLEASE don't make it all-grey. It gets very boring to look at in the long run, and it's perfectly possible to be colourful and still stockalike (which is probably why I like your ATV best of the crafts that you've made). Suggestions would include making the pod white or tiled black.

Hey, thanks for the feedback :)

I wouldn't worry.

The all grey is shared only with my Soviet-era craft, I know not everyone is mad about it, but I have grown to really like it (As a sort of utilitarian bloc style).

For everything else (Cygnus, ATV, D2, Fuji), I'm happy to use colour (or lighter tones).

The "new" Fuji will be white, with golden tanks (very similar to the old one really).

At least in the wikipedia entry for the Soviet lunar program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_manned_lunar_programs) the craft they use are green rather.

By the way, someone (who would it be...) promised us an alternate texture set for a new version of Tantares.

Huh? Link?

Love your Proton! Used it (with some help from KW Rocketry) to get this 42-ton monster of a space station part into orbit:

Nice Truss kind of thing! Are those Saturn V separator rockets?

Yeah from the KW pack

Thanks!

More stuff...

Updated VOSTOK

Note:

-Missing engine FX

-MonoProp powered

-Vac ISP: 320

I'm pursuing lots of these little beta releases as my work etc is ramping up and of course IRL matters take priority. Shouldn't expect a major release for a while I'm afraid. :)

It's always nice too see something new, even in this form. Good luck with your work and other RL matters! :)

Deadly Reentry for the Vostok. Add it to your "Tantares_Extra_DeadlyReentry"

@PART[Almach_Crew_A]:NEEDS[DeadlyReentry]

{

@maxTemp = 1700

MODULE

{

name = ModuleHeatShield

direction = 0, -1, 0

reflective = 0.05

ablative = AblativeShielding

loss

{

key = 650 0 0 0

key = 1000 64 0 0

key = 3000 80 0 0

}

dissipation

{

key = 300 0 0 0

key = 500 180 0 0

}

}

RESOURCE

{

name = AblativeShielding

amount = 250

maxAmount = 250

}

}

Also, if you can't wait for an IVA, add:

INTERNAL

{

name = Libra_Crew_A_Interior_Basic

}

To the Vostok part.cfg right below crew capacity, and above the module section.

Great work, I'll stick this in!

What's the two crew one going to be called?

If it does get made. I have no idea.

has called it "Kerbshod"!

Great stuff there. I've never seen the pyramid easter egg before! :confused:

Did kind of a modern Salyut-style station with a Tantares+SDHI PPTS dealiebob, and a Tantares+SDHI PPTS-derived transport vehicle.

Nice stuff! I always like seeing my parts mixed around with stock and other mod parts! It is good they find other uses :)

Crazy! I'll give it a go when I can! I must recreate this my self as well! :D

More Progress

Parachute.

May need some colour work to separate it's tone from the pod.

IMO, more color = more better. Some of your crafts feel a little bland.

Fair point.

What are people's thoughts on the colour schemes in general?

If you look at stock parts, there is very little colour.

Thanks :D

Inspiration: Rombus and Ithacus SSTO...

Proton engine (1.stage)...

Hey! I had considered making that one once! It's a beauty!

Here's a little fun thing!

If you want inspiration for adding more colour to stockalike stuff, take a look at this. I'm not saying you should mimic it, it's fine that you have your own style.

RLA is a good example yes. I could move towards that style at some point.

But all the other examples, they are more or less all completely white or grey... :huh:

Personally I really like your use of color. I have to admit I am something of a minimalist, so the simple grey with the the bands of color on the separator, or on the Soyuz service module, work really well I think. It's made effective because it is sparse. Also when you combine Tantares parts with stock, the simple color scheme allows you to create an aesthetically rocket ship. So I would say stick with simple colors minimally applied.

Thank you also for the feedback!

I could experiment a bit, when these alternate textures are returning.

I apologise to people that is taking so long. It's a long tedious process of:

  1. Recreate texture using MBMs (I'd foolishly saved all my old recoulors as un-editable .TGAs)
  2. Scroll through large list of textures in Unity
  3. Apply texture to dummy object
  4. Export dummy object to dummy folder
  5. take texture of dummy folder object
  6. move texture to dummy folder structure ready for patching
