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).

Happy 10th Anniversary Beale! 

Btw, did Tantares used to really have Gemini?

Damn, the old Phobos parts are probably the newest ones there. Nostalgic!

I need to ask about that Duna craft on the first pic and why Gemini is here all of a sudden. Also your guys' stuff has come a really long way, congrats!

Gemini AND Cygnus. Bottom left is Cygnus. 

Edit: Nvm, I forgot Special Delivery existed for a few.

Gemini and Cygnus were part of Tantares in the early days. Later Cygnus was transfered into a separate mod (special delivery) and Gemini was removed when Beale focused on USSR parts, while Bluedog focused on US parts.

Congratulations Beale - there can't be many mods out there (for any game) still being supported by the same developer after ten years, let alone with new work actively being done on them!

Holy cow! What a montage, thanks! That shot of the TKS in particular is really something.

The Duna base was a failed experiment (same with Kliper) - as Cheesecake mentioned yeah, the Gemini was in tantares back when it was a "random parts and stuff" mod. Later when BDB existed, I made a new Gemini and donated it to BDB, while also distributing it standalone in Trails. The BDB gemini has since been revamped into something godly.

Perhaps a revisit now that you're more experienced? Mostly for Kliper. I've seen many people want one. And yeah, it is apart of APUS shuttle mod, but having an actual replica inside Tantares would be delightful.

LK remake? Nice, but didn't you remake it when you did N1 like 2 or 3 updates ago? I guess it has been a few years. Gosh... time flies...

A Kliper would be incredible, would go well with the new Soyuz revamp parts as you could kitbash it's upgraded launcher

Yes, but in this case "2 or 3 updates ago" is like 4 years :D

Can't promise any LOK update yet. It's something in the pipeline, but my hyper-fixation is on Lander(s) plural for the time being.

It would be great, I could write cards and cardz of sheets on why I like kliper.

@Beale Landers you say? Do Lk-100 is also in the works?

Mmmm, maybe play around with that number a little, and you will get closer. :wink:

There are also some interesting LK-related horrors, but can't promise anything now.

Lk-700*

My bad. Don't really use it much. I prefer all American rockets and spacecraft. :D

Top left: Soft docking ring landing gear?

Top right: Looks like something ole scifi movies would use.

Bottom right: probe?

It's me!

Speaking of me, i'l finally be able to resume work on the R7 parts this next week.

Really sorry for the lack of updates and things, just too much stuff going on. Skies should be clearer in a few days and i'll be able to continue.

Is okay comrade!  KSP is hobby to enjoy!  Enjoy hobby when work and college and other stuff is taken care of!  Don't forget a warm bowl of borscht!

Is this just crewed landers or robotic ones as well?

Хороший мод запчастей! Это будет хорошо сочетаться с моей установкой KSP Whirligig World. Большое спасибо, Бил! (I thought that a russian-translated comment fits the theme of this mod, so yeah.)
