Starship Launch Expansion About Starship Launch Expansion is a mod that collects Starbase real life launch pads, towers, stands and all the stuff necessary to support your Starship launches in KSP. All the parts are designed to withstand the power of every launch without exploding (hopefully). The mod is in Beta right now so any bugs or suggestions you can contact me through discord.

So we know that there was a launch tower in the original KSP but it was removed because wide craft clipped into it or sometimes collided into it and we're getting destroyed on liftoff. Nate said that in KSP2 the tower is back and it is automatically placed at an appropriate distance away from the craft so as to not interfere. 1. My request is to also have umbilical arms (could be just visual, not solid) that retract when we initiate the launch sequence. 2. Also having a short ~5 second countdown + animations and sounds for engines igniting / turbines spooling up would be great. 3. Frosting on rocket, ice falling off, venting, sparks, birds flying away, dirt on tower to show it's age? 4. I would love to have the possibility of replaying launches with images seen from multiple camera angles. 5. Modular Launch Pads mod had a lot of cool designs for launch towers and pads. I would like to see this type of diversity in KSP2. 6. I love launch clamps, they're very useful. Would like to see some diversity in this area also. We have seen the orbital versions, but how about some that retract by rotating, like the umbilicals? Also explosive bolts animations? 7. The smoke from the launch looks good and decelerates true to physics but the puffs could be blended better together. 8. Are we also getting working crawlers and an actual animation of the rocket moving from the VAB to the launch pad? 9. Launch tower custom design? Catch arms? Cranes? 10. Also what other details about the runway (longer and no more hitting the lights at the end of it), VTOL launch pad and launching sea craft? Please make launching rockets look spectacular!

simple: get your ksp and try to build a tower taller then the last person that posted.* *WARNING, no liability if game crashes.

I recently did this: Inspired by something Scott Manley did in KSP interstellar quest Ep. 5. Now I want you to fly through the island tower too. (Note: through means that you are on one side of the tower, then inside the tower, then on the other side of the tower with the kerbal alive. See above for an example) Rules: Kerbal must be in a seat/(if really brave/foolish) in a cockpit. At least the kerbal, or if brave/foolish the cockpit make it through, that's a pass, with a bronze medal +1 points for every part of the plane that makes it through. (Tip: try a carrier aircraft, kind of like this, ) 5 points: silver medal 12 points: gold medal Entire plane/whaterver-veichle-you-are-using survives: Platinum medal. Note: actual signature badges coming soon (or not)

Does anyone know a mod that has good looking launch towers (that is not FASA)? If not, can anyone make one? Thanks!

Is there any mod which adds lightning proctection towers around the launch pad as present in the French Guiana Launch pad. I am talking about the four towers surrounding the launch pad. Please help me I need those towers as they look nice. If there is any mod available please comment below or if possible somebody please make this mod. Thanks in advance.
