What about the plans for the mothership serving as a colony deployment vessel? Were those scrapped somewhere along the line or has it been that long since I check here and it was stealthy completed?

The big saucer is still tagged like it's incomplete or in beta or something, isn't it?

I burned out on the mothership a few years ago. The IVAs were killing me. Since then, my license for 3DS MAX got too expensive to renew and my files for the mothership- and most of my other projects- are in MAX format. I have been learning Blender but that is slow going due to other commitments. 
 

At this point I would need to start over with a new mothership, but that depends on time and interest. The reality is that the saucer shape has limited utility. I did experiment with a new saucer shape based on the Mk2 form factor but that is more a replacement for the existing Flapjack design.

The funny thing is that the Flapjack was originally a proof of concept for making saucer shapes fly in KSP but I also hedged my bets with it as being the only saucer design that I made in case I didn’t complete the mothership. It turned out to be the case.

If I were to start over again today I would make a saucer design similar to to remade Jupiter 2 from the Netflix Lost In Space show, but one that had more configuration options.

Hard to believe that I did this a year ago but a lot has happened since then! Here is my first attempt at revamping the flying saucer:

Originally I intended this for KSP2 but given the state of that game I may revisit it as a “KFS Mk2” mod instead…

@Angelo Kerman Regarding S.A.F.E.R how it suppose to generate power?? Since there is no thread for wbi tools here,i just ask here, and how to properly put legs on saucer??

It works with either Classic Stock Resources or Community Resources Pack. Install either one of those. If that doesn't work then find the 000WildBlueTools/Templates/CRP/MM_SAFER.txt file and give it the .cfg extension.
