Space Station Deployer (SSD II)

[Panichio]

The rocket looks a bit weird and unrealistic but it is easy to fly and get into orbit if you leave the S.A.S. on the whole time. It looks like a pretty convincing mini space station and can de-orbit itself and release two small satellites. This was the second one that I made, the first didn\'t have the ability to release smaller satellites.

Anyway hope you guys like it, I manged to get a nearly perfect orbit with it.

Oh and in V0.11 of KSP the textures for the CommsSatt are a bit weird, the blue is pink.

Here\'s a list of the mods I used:

Astrobug Enterprises Space Station Parts

I\'m pretty sure that\'s all of them.

Tell me what you think of it and it would be cool if you could share some pics of your flight with it.

You can fix the pink textures by opening up the texture file of the part in the parts folder in paint, then saving it. I think that\'s how it\'s done.

Oh ok cool, thanks. The pink was really annoying.

It\'s actually really easy. Just remember to leave the S.A.S. on the whole time and level off gradually and slowly or the rocket may tip.

I could of sworn I posted something late last night on this thread... but it\'s not here. Must of passed out on my keyboard

Anyway,

Never use the Exelsior engines, EVER. So overpowered and the ratios are completely off...

The legit way -

Yeah I know there basically cheating but this rocket was more for the fun of getting a mini space station into orbit.

But I may make a more realistic one that doesn\'t use the exelsior rockets. Anyway this was just for the people who don\'t

really care about it being realistic. Hope someone decides to give this one a try still, no ones downloaded it yet :\'(

Actually, I\'ll get to making a more realistic one right away. The SSD III ...

Godspeed!

Two days worth of testing and extremely frustrating construction:

...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Why do the pieces not stick together? They all just collapse...
