KSO Super 25 Asteroid Colony Series

[Westi29]

The 71st of my STS KSO Shuttle Missions! STS 171 is the first flight of the Super 25! The XS25 Experimental Tester! STS 171's objectives are to deliver a diplomatic treaty to the Rebels orbiting Kerbin and to deploy the Asteroid Hunter Probe on a mission to capture a Class E Asteroid! The KSO Super 25 is ready in the nick of time, as an existential crisis brings the Rebels and Loyalists closer, if only for a short while.

STS 171 will will deploy the Asteroid Wrangler Probe!

Thanks to Green Skull Industries (forum user: Green Skull) for his custom space suits and ships and to forum user Doc Shaftoe for his flags!!

Most of the footage shown in 20x speed for quicker viewing.

The 72nd of my STS KSO Shuttle Missions! STS 172 is the second flight of the Super 25! Ascension makes her maiden voyage wearing the Limited Edition Corporate Livery Paint Scheme! STS 172's objectives are to deploy the Asteroid Wrangler Probe on a mission to convert the asteroid's kethane into useable fuel and wrangle Asteroid Kerpophis into a 500km circular orbit! The asteroid threat has brought Rebels and Loyalists closer together, but only for a moment...

[Westi29]

The 73rd of my STS KSO Shuttle Missions! STS 173 is the third flight of the Super 25! Ascension files again wearing the Limited Edition Corporate Livery Paint Scheme!

I've been trying to re-create the XS25 skin for about 5 days now (yes I'm serious) and I keep failing miserably. It's kind of hard to eyeball how a flat texture should look from how it looks stretched and stitched onto a rounded surface.

I've heard that the reason why you don't want to release it is because it was given to you by Helldiver for helping test the mod while it was in early stages of development, and you are not sure if he would like it if you released it. That's problem A. Problem B is that I really want it. So I thought "Screw it! I'll do it myself!"

I got part 1 (config; easy part)  done:

 

PART
{
// Kerbal Space Program - Part Config
// Generated By KSP_Config Create (Script)
 
// --- general parameters ---
name = KSO25_Cabin_XS25
module = Part
author = helldiver
 
// --- asset parameters ---

MODEL
{
model = KSO/Parts/super25commandkso
texture = KSO_25, KSO/Parts/altnames/xs25
}

...

[Stuff in the default config that I'm leaving out here]

...

// --- editor parameters ---
TechRequired = highAltitudeFlight
entryCost = 12500
cost = 8900
category = Pods
subcategory = 0
title = KSO EWBCL Fuselage XS25
manufacturer = Murika Superstellar Inc.
description = With the success of the Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter project, Murika has started work on a fleet of larger spacecraft that will be capable of handling double the load. With a 2.5 meter wide cargo bay, it will have heavier lift capacity and more powerful engines, the KSO Extended Wide-Body Cargo Lifter will haul to space whatever its smaller brother leaves behind. Like the current KSO, the "Super 25" as its engineers call it, will feature the latest in glass cockpit multi-function displays, fly-by-wire technology, and Kerbonfiber composite construction. The EWBCL's cabin will have both a mission deck and crew deck with all amenities needed for extended orbital missions and accommodations for up to six kerbonauts. Its most prominent feature is the built in "mun-door" docking point. The ETA for its release for general use is in around 3 months. The XS25 is the experimental test bed for the EWBCL, and is used to test new components for it. The second shuttle, Ascension, is currently under construction.

...

[the rest is stuff in the default config]

 

So I've gotten that down.

As far as the texture, I have failed miserably.

Any tips? Pointers? Advice?

 

Anything would help, really.
