In case anybody is interested in how I brought my base to Duna: I made a fake cargo Starship by modifying a copy of the tanker config. I added a large KIS volume, plus ModuleKISPickup with a radius of 40 m. This allows you to just open the KIS inventory from the cargo ship, and drag stuff (max 10 metric tons of mass) out to the ground - I pretend the ship has an invisible crane ;)
40 m is a bit more than needed, but I'm playing with a 120% scaled version, and this allows me to move stuff a little bit further away, so I don't need to pile it up...

Config is below.

Just watched the trailer, is that drone ship coming with the mod?

No, that droneship is from my other mod Tundra’s Space Center, also coming very soon!

Added a fairing holddown string!


Also, many many thanks to @DMagic @cineboxandrew and especially @Shadowmage to get this next feature working:
Gif speeks for itself! (Put on HD!)

Blending effect is looking nice, though I might perhaps blend it in a bit slower / over a longer duration so the fade-in isn't as visible.  Tricky finding the best setup for determining that factor though, a lot of variables at play to pick from / play with.

Has anyone figured out a way to recover the fairings? I've been trying for the past few hours, but I cant slow them down in the atmosphere

Well, for one, the TE fairing is way too massive for that. ONE HALF of it weighs 2.2 tons, while the real thing weighs 1.9 tons in total. Then take into account that in KSP everything is scaled down by a factor of 1.5. Not taking into account changes in structural integrity with that reduced size, let's just shrink mass and volume accordingly. So we have to divide by 1.5^3, which is 3.375. Divide 1.9 by that, and you get 0.56 for both fairings. So a single fairing should have a mass of about 0.3 tons. With that mass, the atmosphere slows it down pretty well. If you add further equipment (probe core, parachute), you might want to reduce the fairing's mass accordingly. If you know a nice mod for a parafoil, let me know ;)

I just checked, in the config they are 0.2 tons... not sure where you get those 2.2 tons from.

Hello! Quick question. Does the Gigan pod come with its own docking port already embedded in it? I cant seem to make any docking port fit underneath the nosecone fairing. 

Thank you so much, and I'm so sorry for being so uninformed!

I advise to off-set the nose cone to fit flush with it. I can't make the nose cone fit all docking ports (modded too). So I always advise to just use the gizmos to offset it
