Yeah, every craft is overpowered somewhat (Actually they are balanced pretty reasonably against the vanilla parts, so you can say they're overpowered also). From the first page: Quote Q. Why are the rockets overpowered?A. They are balanced against stock parts, as to not be intentionally useless. See here for a more lifelike experience.

G_Force080491 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hello, Beale! Those Launchers and spacecraft are cool! But, with all modesty, don't you think that the exhaust simulation of engines are looking incorrect? For example In BDB i seen, IMHO, correct correlation of particle speed, atm. pressure, altitude etc. I am not familiar with smoke screen and real plume, so i can't do it myself. Sorry if this has already been discussed. Hello from Russia and therefore sorry for bad english. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beale Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Kebinium M2 seen from the approaching Tantares. Docking is now down to a fine art... With a lot of wasted fuel. A cool clean docking. "Let's make this a short EVA, yeah? Alright?" Seanbin grabs the tools from the "Pig" spacecraft that arrived shortly before. They are warm. A little docking light and goo experiment are installed on the front of the station. Last task of the day, the orbital motors from the power module are scarpped and brought aboard the Tantares to be returned to Kerbin. The light stays on always. The crew begin to riot through sleep loss. The dutiful pig begins its journey home (to a fiery ocean grave), two ports free at the station? The crew are ready to receive visitors... Meanwhile... The first landing on Minmus is achieved by a stripped-down LK lander, modified for radio control. A view from the onboard camera, surface resource readings indicate 4.2% (We do not know what this means, but are happy otherwise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I actually opened up a thread a couple of years ago announcing my desire to release a mod composed of varying probe parts, but the lack of more recent tutorials and the like made the whole process overwhelming, and I quickly gave the project up. Plus, you have amazing artists such as Baele, Raider Nick, you two, and Frizzank (even though he left the modding scene a long while ago, if I'm correct) creating and providing us with a plethora of beautiful KSP parts mods and plugins that it made my efforts practically redundant. Also, my main area of art is 3D Modeling; my original texture creation leaves alot to be desired. I don't know, though, seeing posts like yours also inspire me a great deal. Maybe I'll make a new thread asking folks which areas of KSP are in need of improvement and fill the niche with some addons of my own. I'd ask here, but I don't want to populate Baele's thread with the answers that would follow. I opened up a new thread asking for the community's opinion on what should be improved and added to the game. I hope to garner some informative responses!

Expand In the time to type that, you can start making a model or reading tutorials, that's my advice. Don't be a slave to what people want, or what others have already done. Make an Apollo, or make a Soyuz - or something completely different. It will be crap, but then, you make it again and it will be better and better.

hendrack Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 There are at least 5 Soyuz mods in KSP I know of. Some I like more and some I like less, diversity is good! I imagine Tantares/Contares is appealing to the stock KSP crowd while Raidernicks stuff is more appealing to the RSS crows. To each its own! Make something, have fun and ppl will like it!

Expand Now that you mention it, I was using HomeGrown Rockets for a while until Tantares came along... the issues that I had with HGR (in terms of bugs and my distaste for the sizes unique to those parts alone) pushed me towards Tantares. My plan would be to make parts that are more complex in terms of their geometry (somewhat like the Saturn V F1 Engine that used to be a suggested mod with RO).
