Tower Crane for reusable rockets [WIP]

[ElonsMusk]

Matsuma's first public foray into a tower crane.

Designing a turntable is a challenge. Currently the main slew motor will move itself when you leave the scene. I don't know how to fix this, so it becomes inoperable on scene re-load pending a fix.

Presently I'm working on this Odonata Launch System (pictured above being stacked), a 2.5m reusable. In theory this crane could be used for any project, I've detached it from this pad design for use standalone. Of course it's static and has no loaded counterweight but its a turntable + gantry + tower, a lot of legwork done if you'd like to build your own pad some day. I plan to continue working on this and perhaps even find a workaround for the Robotic Drift Effect moving the slew motor.
