ddavis425 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 3 hours ago, Beale said: Very nice recreation! Did you build it in parts or is it a whole craft? I built it in parts, recreating each module (core, Kvant-1/2, etc). I ended up replacing Kvant-1 and Kristall after having docked them because I just didn't like some stuff about them. A few goofs here and there were easily fixed by removing parts on EVA with KIS. I had built the docking module with the two big block things on the side but after getting it docked I realized that those blocks are the solar panels that were later added to Kvant-1 so I took them off with a quick EVA. I launched Kvant-1 with the big Sofora and Rapana girders on the side, which made the rocket pretty painful to control, but if I had KIS installed at the time I would have just packed them on the side and detached/reassembled them in orbit. I'm really liking that VA capsule and heatshield. Do you have any plans to create the Federation capsule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyko Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Beale said: If you could only have one... My only ask is that it's a separate part because I'm using that pod a lot in my playthrough and would prefer its basic shape/size doesn't change What's in that nosecone? I always seem to have something to attach to the tops of my pods - either parachutes, docking ports or maybe RCS.

Just a quick clarification, of course, it will be a separate part The nosecone is two parts, a service section and a parachute section, or maybe a drogue and main chute, not sure yet.

golkaidakhaana Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Dunno how many times it's been asked, if at all, but any plans for Energia/Polyus parts and green paintable TKS parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-313 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) @sslaptnhablhat Energia is actually in the works as we're speaking, check the last few pages for the progress. And TKS is already paintable with this mod: Speaking of which... @Beale, I'd say that by now the link to this mod does belong in the first post. Would you?

And I guess not including them makes sense, especially considering I had to add multiple structural parts between the engine and the fairing in order to get it to fit inside...

A - the way you setup the extended taper with that structural part = THANK YOU! B - the idea with the attachment node on top wasn't so much for a docking port, but more to mount a little transmitter like the actual LK-700 mock-up had:https://falsesteps.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/lk-700.jpg Even still, this will make for a pretty good LK-700 capsule stand-in - THANK YOU!

Ohhhh, well actually it is the LK-1 ahahaha. There is the extra drogue which will also have a node, so you can still make the LK-700.
