Do you think you could do an angled MK2 part as well? These are awesome btw I hate fiddling around with cubic struts to get this.

Intentional pun?

I find the Kerbals incredibly annoying. I get the idea that you want little green men and all, but when I can't jump without landing and falling over? That's seriously obnoxious. EVAs are a huge pain because controlling a Kerbal is like trying to walk a cat on a leash. If EVAs are built into the game, why isn't some sort of legitimate body movement simulation? At some point you have to sacrifice cuteness and fantasy for gameplay and realism. You don't need to limit people who don't want to play in a fantasy world. People who do want to role play will still be able to.

Hey you should check out this one for some inspiration http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/75740-VTOL-Emporium. There are some awesome ideas on there.

Thank you! Yeah I've been slowly making an RSS one, but the lander stage is like 5m across which... complicates things. And I've never seen the Lunex before that thing is awesome. Maybe I can make that one in RSS ha. It's so convenient to be able to land with a plane when you get back to Kerbin.

I got a little bored with typical Mun-landers (also after my computer decided it didn't want to run EPL) and this was the result. It doesn't have a name, but the SPS abbreviation comes from "small personal shuttle". This line of crafts was originally designated as space station escape craft (and plane capability after reentry), but due to plentiful dV I began to use it as an SSTO for single crew transfer to my space stations. In it's new form (Mark 4), it has been bundled with a vertical launcher (not unlike the X-37) and a transfer stage, giving it a total of 10k dV, plus a large amount more for atmospheric flight. I obviously decided to land it on the Mun. Take a look in the following album (which is slightly pic-heavy sorry)! Mods used: Procedural Parts Procedural Fairings MJ Burn Together (I launched four of these to my space station in formation... if I can figure out how to do video recording I'll upload it! It was one of the coolest things I've done - diamond formation all the way from runway to space station.) KW Rocketry Flight profile: Auto launch with MJ. G-turn start 1km end at 80km. Desired Orbital height - 250km. As apoapsis hits 250km, discard fairings and launch stage. Ignite transfer stage (the launch stage had some dV left, but we ditched it to raise our transfer stage dV for Mun landing. the transfer stage is used fro landing on the moon.) Go to the mun and do whatever you want. Leave mun. Place periapsis in atmosphere. (I did 34km) Enter like the Space Shuttle. I pointed my nose at ~8 degrees above prograde upon entering the atmosphere, and barely even touched it. Worked out fine. Land. (too bad I cocked that one up though.)
