Multi-vehicle launch capability

Well this experiment was a lot of fun. I took my standard ISV (Inter Stellar Vehicle) design extended the center span and piggy backed two rudimentary drop ships to it.

I had noticed a few weeks back that if a piece of jettisoned debris has a MechJeb on board that it becomes a controllable entity. Well I jettisoned the dropships returned to the space center and yep I was ably to pilot the dropships.

The only problem is that the controls were way out of whack. Like W and S were yaw and A and D were pitch and roll was hardly functional at all but I had enough control to navigate into retrograde and reenter. But there was on controlability in atmo.

This was more of a proof of concept than a real viable spacecraft but it was fun so I thought Id share with the community

I think I may have solved the orientation problem. Instead of using the radial MechJebs I\'ll use the linear models. That should keep the orientation correct or, at worst, result in a 180 degrees shift on one plane.
