I'd like to see other stock-a-like options for the FTX-2 Fuel Duct, especially a Cryogenic Orange one and a Plain White one for starters. Possibly Gold Foil and Copernicus style too.

I'll have to look, but I think it's not possible without a plugin. Last I looked at the configs for them, they didn't have anything special in the way of modules determining what they do. I think they're special cases, hardcoded into the game.

I have a suggestion, you should add tweakscale support.

Huh, might have to look into that.

I've been very productive today. It's taken a good number of hours, but I put together my most complex part modeling project so far. A 4x nuclear engine. Yay! I think it's turning out great.

It's great that the parts you're making are pretty much fractions or multiples of stock parts (like that big nuke is 4 LV-Ns, both in specs and appearance). Doesn't feel like they give an unfair advantage over stock aside from reducing part counts.

Yep, I think that's really the ideal way to make sure the parts stay stock-balanced.

I think I'll be able to release this next update pretty shortly. I'll post another update when I do.

Added several parts in 0.625m. Two lengths of jet fuel tanks, a turbojet, ram air intake, and a matching intake at 1.25m.

Screenshots from new small jet stuff:

This pack has become a must for me. Excellent parts that look stock and fill niche roles that are otherwise missing.

Love the nosecones. If I could request one thing, it would be a 0.625m nosecone (because I don't like the stock one), although TweakScale support sort of takes care of that anyways.

Thanks very much for this mod.

Thanks, glad you're enjoying it! Yep, a small nose cone is on my list. The stock one is asymmetrical, since it's meant for aircraft. So that's something I've been meaning to add.

Cool. Yeah, don't know why I didn't think to look there. ðŸ˜Â

lol, no worries. :)

OK, tonight's update (I was very productive!):

A "three-quarter jumbo" tank, with flag decals:

Size-2 ASAS module. As Red pointed out a little while ago, the stock one uses size-0 attachment nodes, which is a bit of an oversight. To make this new one meaningful, not only does it use the size-2 nodes, but it's also 20% beefier than the stock one, in terms of mass, cost, and torque. So in effect, for every 5 of them, you would need 6 of the stock modules to achieve the same thing. But the cost in both funds and mass is the same, per unit of torque. The exterior is a scaled down version of the 3.75m one I made previously, but the "interior" is remodeled and re-textured.

Aerodynamic structural pylons. All three use the same model and texture, to save on memory (and development time). They provide a little lift, but mainly are meant for holding attachments. Shown with the 0.625m LFO fuel tanks I made:

Also tweaked the appearance of the quad-nuke. Lightened the grey color of the reactors to be closer to the stock one. Also enlarged the engine bell by 9% (as high as I could go without moving its position, and still fit inside the space I allocated with the fairing, so it doesn't break savegames). I think the new proportions look pretty good (especially when you consider that wide bells make a lot of sense for vacuum use).

Tonight, a little more progress toward 0.5.

Added some white stripes to the 3.75m monopropellant tank. Made a 0.625m nose cone, and also added 0.625m basic jet parts (intake and engine) to go with the turbojet versions already released. Also reworked the aerodynamic pylons a little over what I did last night (mainly making them shorter and thicker).
