KSP 1 Mods What could change about the design?

I feel like what's supposed to be the "shield" looks terribly ugly, and I still need to add a lot of details and a lander

The Soyuz will not be docked all the time; it will actually undock in low Earth orbit after delivering the crew. After the entire journey to Mars or Venus and back, another Soyuz will be launched to bring the crew back to Earth.

KSP 1 Mods My first precision landing on Plock! (Outer planets mod)

Post image
14 Upvotes

The new lander (on the right) was able to land close to the base (left), which was always designed to be a base. My Plock base is definitely not a lander from ~300 in-game years ago that didn't have enough fuel to return to orbit.

After 300 years, it's time for a shift change at the Plock base!

I used an array of 8 nuclear engines on the mothership, which gave me loads of Δv to make it to Plock and back home.

I've looked into Sol but i dont have nearly the system requirements to run it with BDB, benjee10's suite and Nertea's suite like i usually do, i use volumentrics v3 and i dont use parallax, so i dont need support for more advanced visuals.

KSP 1 Image/Video Design for a Mars Transfer Mothership (Boeing IMIS Redesign)

Thumbnail
gallery
426 Upvotes

As part of my 1990s crewed Mars landing program, this is the design for the Mars Transfer Vehicle, the interplanetary mothership responsible for housing the crew during the journey to/from Mars and conducting the Trans-Mars Injection (TMI), Mars-Orbit-Insertion (MOI), Trans-Earth Injection (TEI) burns.

The vehicle carries the crewed Mars Ascent/Descent Vehicle (MADV) along with the Earth Entry Module (EEM) for high-speed atmospheric return to Earth.

The architecture is derived from the 1968 Boeing IMIS (Integrated Manned Interplanetary Spacecraft) study. However, the configuration was redesigned: by increasing propellant tank diameters, the vehicle eliminates a propulsion stage. Additionally, the Mission Module overall architecture has been redesigned. Finally, while the 1968 Boeing proposal targeted a 1980s launch, this profile is engineered for the 1992–1994 departure window.

Vessel Specifications:

LEO Initial Mass: ~1,200 t

Total Transit Delta V: ~11,000 m/s

Primary Propulsion: 6+1 NERVA-I Nuclear Thermal Rocket Engines

Life Support Endurance: 714 days

Main mods used: RSS/RO/Kerbalism, Bluedog Design Bureau (BDB), NAR MEM (retextured by me), Procedural Parts

KSP 1 Image/Video Meet the new Freya MK2!

Post image
5 Upvotes

Well, this is the upgraded Freya interplanetary spacecraft. Now it uses astrophages for propulsion!

Similarly, it has 3 docking ports for different spacecraft for re-entry kerbin or landing on different planets/moons

It has a centrifuge, a cultivation area, and a science area

It has a total of 180 000 astrophage in this propulsion module

The propulsion module is detachable, in case it runs out of fuel or you want to add a module with more fuel

Any idea which planet I should go to first?

By the way, the astrophage is from the film/book project Hail Mary

KSP 1 Mods SCANsat not recognizing surface features?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I have a BTDT scanner on my rover on Minmus, however the scanner doesn't show any surface features (from Breaking Ground) in the Instruments view, nor does it add them to the zoom map as the documentation says it should. The scanner works in general, if I place this rover at the KSC it will detect the structures & monolith just fine.

Do I need to do anything else to get the BTDT scanner to work for surface features?

Idk if someone has already done this but, I need to do an interstellar mission video and for the smaller missions I am making sponsored rockets and payloads. If you have any suggestion on what other companies's logos I could put on my rockets or if you have something that you'll want to see on there, please let me know here in the comments. also sorry I forgot to install FMRS to recover the boosters, for the next launches it will be installed.

Even though I've spent hundreds of hours playing this game, this is the first time I've ever seen this happen. I knew the Kraken by name, but I'd never encountered it during my games before.

I just installed it, and apparently it could make things looks bigger in 4K…but I don’t know why, but this is not working, because things like the rotation gizmo and the mods interface (settings etc) are still incredibly small.
Any clues ?

I’m assuming that I installed it correctly (with CKAN). I’m on MacOS Tahoe.
