[1.3.1] Octogon R.E.D - Rapid Explosive Desintegrator

[EricPoehlsen]

The Octogon R.E.D. - Rapid Explosive Desintegrator is a part that let's you abort your mission in style, by running a self destruct sequence. This is of course to protect the ground personnel and infrastructure from falling debris after a failed launch. 

It adds a single part into the game, which resides within the Command & Control tab. 

Add this part to a vessel that you might want to destroy on mission abort. More information on how to use it correctly can be found in the README.

You can find the current state of the mod on Github

Code: 'free' - CC-0 / MIT / WTFPL (use whichever suits your needs)

(check LICENSE.md for details)

I started dabbling with creating a first mod and this is the result. 

This part destroys the vessel when aborting the mission so that ground personnel and infrastructure is not damaged by the failing rocket.

Hi, @EricPoehlsen! I don't think we've met yet!

One thing important to remember is that the forum requires a license included with all mods, and also mentioned in the OP, too. Can you please add one?

You can find the full list of add on posting rules here.

It's a very cool looking mod, I look forward to seeing more development!

@Dman979 The license is already included in the Readme.md - or does it have to be in a file of it's own?

For clarity's sake, it's best to put it in a file on its own.

As for this thread, something like "This mod is licensed CC BY-NC-ND 3.0" (or any other appropriate license you chose) would be fine.

Some updates: 

* Part config includes TweakScale support

* Part was moved to "Flight Control" in the tech tree

* Readme expanded

Sounds great! I'm going to give this a try in my new career save.
