The Apollo CSM by itself is a very attractive project, very simple spacecraft to put together. I think the problem is it does not standalone well, and it would be difficult to release it without calls for associated rockets and the LEM. (There is ASTP, but there is such a rich history with the Skylab, Apollo, I cannot give the spacecraft the proper credit it deservers, but someone can). Expand I think there should be a bit more American spacecraft to go with Gemini. Anyways, is Gemini a separate mod now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, is Gemini a separate mod now? Expand Gemini is now availabile in Bluedog Design Bureau (or here, I guess). So, really, there is no strong representation of America any longer in the mod (you might argue with the Cygnus and LEM-like fuel tank). Will this change? Maybe not. The only things I would really like to do is maybe: D2 Apollo CSM (Maybe just for my own entertainment of modelling) But, as you can notice, Tantares is shrinking, rather than adding large new things.

CobaltWolf Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) @Beale, given your current situation in regards to how much time you can devote to Tantares, I think you'd be best off just focusing on the updates/revamps, rather than trying to tackle an entire new part family. With that said, Apollo D2 is tantalizing... (tantarizing?) Edit: And my goal is still to try and have Apollo CSM in game by the end of summer. Saturn V and the LEM, no promises.

CobaltWolf Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 For IVA's, I'd assume the priority would be ones that people actually control a ship from, for flying in IVA.
