Andras Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Oh, and Nova, you realize we now need 2m SRB to fit the 2m radial couplers!(You could add a nozzle and cfg edit the new 2m dual tank)ETA- need a 2m nose cone with a parachute, or a attachment point to add one too!

rdfox Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hey, Nova, suggestion for the next release, could you do a stackable version of the Mk16-3 triple 'chute? I've always liked that parachute, particularly if you're going to try and make it look even more like a Mercury by putting an SAS between the capsule and heatshield...(Yes, I do put heatshields on everything I build, partly for aesthetics, partly because I like the 'greater realism' feel, but mostly because once HarvesteR incorporates atmospheric heating, we'll need one, so better to get into the habit now...)EDIT: Just had another thought, to go with the stackable 'chutes. Maybe we could also have a Boost Protective Cover, like the Apollo (and Orion) command module did? It's basically a small nosecone that goes over the capsule and protects it from escape rocket exhaust, and is jettisoned with the escape rocket.

MaxDamage Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hi, I love this pack. found a small thing though, I can't connect a 2M SAS ontop of the 2M radial decoupler.otherwise everything rocks, or thats because of my crap construction skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feanor Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 These clamps are amazing.Finally options to making a real Delta IV heavy..An idea for the next iteration: a 1 and 3 meter variant? Also, I made a gemini- titan - it has a solid retro rocket, and when flown right gets into a nice 40.000 circular orbit. Thanks to your parts it does not only have the functionality, but also the looks! ( I dont really care about skins )Thanks for the amazing pack!

NovaSilisko Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Made a new model for the bootleg command module. It really needed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdfox Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 That looks *great*, Nova! (I also still like the idea of a BPC, but I'll bring that up with Safer, I think.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennyoliy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 @aimmlegate: Cool reproduction, and it's a nice touch with the actual image. I haven't seen a shuttle's tank painted white my whole life (I'm only 11) and I live extremely close to Kennedy Space Center. They stopped painting the External Tank to save money and reduce unneeded mass. Plus, Orange looks cooler in my opinion! ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennyoliy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I just realized that one isn't a NASA shuttle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker Easy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'm having trouble getting that detachable nosecone to work - there's no attach point right at the bottom, and I don't know how to put anything on the bottom of it. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semininja Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The detachable nosecone is only usable with a parachute that has a node at the top, or the CM without a parachute. In other words, you can attach it to a top node only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feanor Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 These pieces are fine as they are, but renaming them is probably better in the long run.That said, I absolutely love your pieces. Everytime I praise something I ask for something, sigh. I guess I should learn how to edit and model myself...anyway, here goes.A nosecone with a very strong ejection force and an attachment point for a small solid booster ( think radial ullage booster or SAFER booster ) so that you can jettison it and it doesnt crash in your stage.a dedicated, small, no shroud, 1.75 meter decoupler?a smaller 1.75 diameter tank for even more options to optimize stages for respective engines - say you want 1.25 times your big tank, this could give a solution.an 1.75/ 2 meter diameter upper stage engine. Think perhaps an half of your twin bertha lite, or Sunday Punches' K-2X engine, but with a huge ( vacuum) nozzle and very good efficiency?A somewhat bigger ( 0.5 meter diameter? ) SRB, so we can make delta 2 SRB's ah and ehm while i'm asking / throwing out random ideas, how about a very flat, small, light SRB for deorbit purposes? something like the Mercury reentry package?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:McconnellMercuryCapsule1.jpgright, that'll be my wishlist for today. See you tomorrow! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feanor Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 You GOTTA admit that it looks like the space shuttle.That is exactly why it was build. You can read about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buran_programIt was a very, very interesting program. If flown correctly I think it could be cheaper and provide safer and better access to space compared to the shuttle. But alas, no money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaSilisko Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'm renaming all my 2m parts to 1.75 meter, as I learned they -aren't- actually two meters across. Sunday punch's are. So I'm going to make a 1.75 to 2m decoupler and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimmlegate Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 @LennyoliyYes of course, it looks like the space shuttle. It was similar in design and function to the U.S. space shuttle, but it not have an external fuel tank.

Andras Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Nova, while you are busy renaming the parts, would you consider swapping the stats between the 2m engines. If you look at the nozzles as modeled, the orginal 2m Bertha is the biggest and the new 2m is the smallest. Would you consider making the orginal Bertha the most powerful, and the new one the least, with the twin in the middle?PS- Thanks again for releasing your parts for us to use.
