[Request]: Maybe the docking nose should be an shielded port instead and not a weird extendable tongue thing?

[FuryFire2004]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

basically the current nose reminds me of a xenomorph from the alien franchise, and tbh it looks a weee bit odd, I feel like ether it needs to have less empty space around the port or the port should be different, being not an extension but something more like the aero shielded stock game docking port,

Proposed technical implementation details

also the extendable docking port is unrealistic because it comes with a large structural void that would not be a thing in such a craft, if there's empty space there would be wiring there and all that at least...

or better yet an airlock for evas?

[FuryFire2004]

actually i can probably edit the textures to allow it to look somewhat like this

@zer0Kerbal im getting photoshop so if you want i can make the moddels gooder in a future update

[FuryFire2004]

@zer0Kerbal so how would you like it if i make the heat shield tiles look more subtle? and make the white roof into thermal blankets?

do what you want with this i know nothing about this area of modding

Something to experiment with. I would suggest GiMP because it is universal - as powerful as PS, and cost a whole lot less when you buy it. Plus it is open source.

If you do - would be a variant texture - something that could be selected in the VAB/SPH like a tank color.

Whole section of the forum dedicated to modeling/texturing.

Gimp is kinda ass no offense

[FuryFire2004]

Photoshop is way more accurate

No offense taken.

I've been using PhotoShop since the Mac+; just prefer Gimp because it gets done what I need done for a price in currency and space I am willing to afford. ;p
