Mk-X Spaceplane Parts v1.0

(for KSP 1.2)
(and none of the other versions of KSP don't ask for 1.1.3 support or I will riot)

I don't really have time to manage any larger mods right now, so I've created this very small (4 parts!) mod pack that emulates the X-37b spaceplane in a very simplistic way. 

The parts are 1.875m wide and the cargo bay has space for 1.25m probes/payloads. 

Still needs some balance so all feedback welcome!

Planned parts are winglets, adapters, an engine mount and possibly a dedicated engine and some crewed parts!

SCREENSHOTS

It goes into space!

It deploys satellites!

It re-enters!

It lands on the ground!

Includes four parts currently: drone core, RCS slice, cargo bay (in 1.2 only) (2 are stacked together here to make the X-37b) and an LFO tank. The integrated RCS currently only covers roll and pitch so you will need a few additional thrusters to fully balance it for docking.

DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE GITHUB
(I've never used GitHub before so tell me if I've done anything wrong)

(please tell me)
(don't let me suffer in silence)

The cargo bay doesn't show up in 1.1.3 and I have no desire to add support for it so stop asking

Right off the bat

  • I want a Solar panel the resembles the one on X-37b
  • I want wings
  • I want built in RCS
  • I want built in landing gear
  • I want an atlas v
  • and I want everything done my way

I mean... I know youre joking (I hope anyway)... but out of those, I would probably appreciate a full RCS suite built in to the nose and tail everything else I could cobble together with parts of other mods probably...

Neat! Thanks, I' gonna check it out as soon as KSP 1.2 is finally out.

One thing, the installation process would be easier to get if the "Benjee10_X-37B" folder would be contained into a dummy "GameData" folder. Just like most of the Mods do as well. For what I've seen it's a sort of a standard and it makes really easy to grab mods and drop them in the right place without having to read any instruction.

One little thing that would go a long way: a diagram of the MkX cross-section with labeled dimensions, to let other folks make compatible parts.

Also, if you settle on a bulkheadProfile for your parts (e.g. "mkx"?) I can add a nice icon to Filter Extensions!

(Parts that I would very much like to see made, in rough order of interest: an adapter to round 1.875m [and maybe one for 2.5m as well], a tail ramp, and a ventral-opening "bomb bay".  A DynaSoar or MiG-105-like cockpit and crew module would be cool in the distant future.)

Awesome! Thank you so much! :D

Am I the only one not seeing the cargo bay in the parts?

Also could you add a tab in the cross section profile?

Loading gets stuck on the cargobay

Are you guys using version 1.2 or 1.1.3? Because the Cargo Bay part is in one of the new categories added in 1.2 so won't show up in previous versions. 
This mod is compatible with KSP 1.2 only!
