For the Hermes OMS, are you just offsetting the decoupler between the heatshield and the OMS? Or is there a part I've missed that makes the decoupler sit closer to the heatshield?

Edit: oh sorry, I think I'm seeing it now ... you have the retro pack and the interstage on there ... right?

Right. The retropack has a secondary node for attaching the decoupler so it sits snuggly under the heatshield. You could dispense with the decoupler if you want, since the BDB interstage has a decoupler built in.

Noticing that several Gemini-era parts have changed names from the image above. This might be more of a general question but ... can we help? Do you want detailed reports about where a part is shown and what its new name is? Idk if you're concerned about the exact names since usually the parts are pretty findable anyway, so thought I'd ask before posting that kind of detail.

Thanks - it's enough to point out that they've changed and I've been terribly lazy copying the old text! You don't need to list all the new names, I can look them up!

I just checked all the part names and they seem correct (less the fictional part designations which I've skipped)

A few nitpicks:
Hermes Recovery Module
Prometheus: "Spacecraft Stack Decoupler" and "Lelantos liquid engine" - neither one has a "II" designation
Vented Stack Decoupler

Sorry :)

Also one last detail on this page ... just to make sure it's on purpose. Your Gus thrusters are shown rotated 90 degrees from what I'm getting. Like your builds, with camera looking at the windows, attach nodes are not left and right of center as shown, but near and far from your camera. Then I was thinking maybe you did that on purpose to show them better so if that's the case please ignore all of the above rambling.
