Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I too am really hyped to see this thing finished.About the engines, the size may be an illusion due to the pics being taken in Orthographic mode. Do these pics look any better?http://imgur.com/a/oRhVZThat's quite a size difference. But, yeah, that looks right! I'm surprised at how different they are side-by-side.

ZentroCatson Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I really like the Falcon 9 you made! Your Rodan capsule has found good use in my space program, I'm even planning on using it as Duna ascent vehicle. Delta-V wise this should work even without more fuel tanks, but I'm going to pack some extra fuel anyway. Also, I can't wait for the new IVA. Actually, why does the old IVA not work anymore?

tygoo7 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Texturing almost done, just need to finish up the decoupler, grid fins, and landing legs. You can see the decoupler right below the engine. Javascript is disabled. View full albumI decided not to do a probe core and just use the stock 2.5m one. All my texturing attempts and modeling attempts ending up looking like the stock one. And besides, I think it'll fit nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZentroCatson Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Man, that looks great! Something I noticed is that your parts look really Tantares-alike. I mean, that's good, I love the look of Tantares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comatorium420 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I love your mod, it fits perfectly with Necrobones SpaceY launchers. Here is a Falcon 9 i made and pictures of a commsat deployment mission using the Rodan. It costs 64k from wich 52k is recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that's good, I love the look of Tantares.Thanks! It looks like Tantares somewhat because Beale taught me a few things on stockalike texturing and I kind of like the style of his parts.

But, that's what tygoo's new launcher is for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Hooray! And yeah, the texture does look very Tantares-alike. (Which is perfect.) But... Um, I have one minor request. I think it'd be great to put the togglable mission flags on the Rodan and on maybe the first stage too. That way, instead of having "SpaceX" printed on it, it can say whatever the player has set as their flag!That blank space on the top of your capsule could easily have a mission flag like where it says SpaceX in the picture! (And one on the back, too?)Anyway, that Falcon looks awesome! I'm really excited to see how it turned out, but I'm more curious to see how it flies (and lands!). Did you get the togglable engine working yet, or is that to come?EDIT: I saw this picture of the internals, so... once you get around to the IVA, here's a reference. But, personally, I'm not too big on IVAs myself. I'd rather see the Falcon finished, and then the Cargo Dragon.

Cuky Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Looks great so far. I have my Rodan fleet grounded while waiting for new launch vehicle.Just a question: landing legs are part of 1st stage tank or are they separate part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZentroCatson Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Version 0.5 is available on KerbalStuff!-Added Ghidorah 9 parts (Falcon 9)http://i.imgur.com/FRO6RIX.pngGreat! A Falcon 9 thingy! Can't wait to get my Kerbal hands on it, but I'll do that tomorrow. I have a question, actually a couple questions. First, how much liquid fuel and oxidizer ( in KSP units) should you leave in the Ghidorah 9 to safely land at the KSC? Second, what stuff will you also include in the probe pack? Third, as soon as you finish everything that's on your to-do list, can you make a stockalike Dragonrider capsule? It's basically a manned cargo dragon with Superdracos. That would be great for Duna missions, it would imitate the look of the Mars One mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First question: I am not really sure actually since all my landing attempts failed because I am not that good at efficient burns. I would say about less than 1/4 of the tank or something like that.Second question: It is classified at the moment because some of the planned probes might not be included, so I don't want to get your hopes up. Third question: Perhaps, after I get everything done on my to-do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
