Delta Engineering & Rocket Productions Co. (D.E.R.P. Co.) presents DERP Co. Parts Pack 0.1

http://www./?avy5bqauwjc2tfb

Obviously since this is just the first release, changes should be expected over time. I would ultimately like to improve upon these parts as well as add more. Feedback is welcomed.

Note: As of right now, since the Reentry Capsule becomes "Debris" upon ejection, it is recommended that you shift your focus and follow the pod down until chute deployment. There seems to be a bug that causes some debris to disappear if it's too far from the ship. What I have been doing to deploy the Reentry Capsule is setting a course for Reentry, ejecting the Reentry Capsule, then burning prograde to keep the original ship in orbit before shifting focus to the Reentry Capsule.

Did one of your Kerbalnauts leave his oven on? Good news, you don't have to scrap the rest of the mission!

Do you need a (relatively) safe way carry an extra Kerbalnaut back to Kerbin? Good news! We've got a Reentry Capsule just for you!

Designed to work perfectly with the Mk16 Parachute, this Reentry Capsule will allow a single Kerbalnaut a free trap back to good 'ol planet Kerbin.

Safely returned to Kerbin!

Are you hurtling out of a control into space? Doomed to drift forever? Well the HID-X1 Self-Destruct Module is here to solve your problem. A quick (semi)painless death is better than weeks of starvation or asphyxiation. Recommended to be placed directly below Command Module. Warning: Self-Destruction not guaranteed!

Nice. How do they deorbit? You need to put them on the correct trajectory first?

I too would like to know how they de-orbit but also if there is a maximum distance you can operate them from before they won't reach kerbin (or at least accurately).

Is there anyway to make the pods themselves decouplers? That way you wouldn't have the radial decoupler bit stuck to it afterwards.

I'm just gonna test it out a bit more when I get home from classes and should be able to release it as-is later tonight. I love the idea of a built-in decoupler and will look into releasing a version that includes that. As for how to de-orbit them, you have to place them on the trajectory and fire away.

This is a great addon man, can't wait to start using it. :)

Also, I agree that it'd be nice to have a small thruster on it of some sort or one that can be strapped onto the bottom if you want to use it as an escape pod or something similar on larger craft (especially for when I screw up the ZO2 system and can't get them back before it runs out... :) )

If you added a built in RCS thruster and a little fuel, do you think it could de-orbit itself?

Maybe you should have a chat with Zool, he made the Zoolotac EscapePod v1.2. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/17439-PLUGIN-PART-16-Zoolotac-EscapePod-v1-2

If you could manage to merge your mods it would be great I think.

As for your rentry capsules, they are pretty cool. But they are in need of a little engine or booster to get out of orbit.
