Looks awesome! Is this intended to be End-to-End? Or merely a Launch Pad? I'm a reusability Kerbalnaut and would be impressed if it can be used for RTLS  and reuse.

Thank you. The launch pad is actually part of another mod, this mod only includes the catching arms. Future updates will add sliders to adjust the angles and height of the arms, allowing you to actually place your rocket back on the pad.

Wow this is really neat! Could the arms also catch the booster or are they just for launch atm?

Thank you. Yes, they can catch the booster. Future updates will include vertical movement and sliders to adjust the exact angles and positions.

How do I land it with such accuracy? And how do you control both vessels at the same time?

I use KOS to do everything autonomously. You could make it easier for yourself by leaving the arms closed so you don't have to switch vessels during landing.

Yeah, it should. If you have the real scale tundra starship / super heavy then make sure to install the real scale version of this mod.

Hey Fossilized, I am using this at real scale with the Tundra SuperHeavy and the vehicle is getting stuck . I am already able to catch the booster using other parts, if I swap to using this part, the vehicle explodes when I close the arms, or if I guide it in with the arms closed, it gets stuck when only about 15-20% of the way in, as if the colliders were misalinged. I even increased the scale to 1.2 to try and make it fit but it will not slide in. Images below and I also have a video if you want to see that!:

The vehicle is really pushing inwards as you can see by the direction of the engine thrust. If I open the arms, then it goes forward into them but then everything explodes when I close them

Any assistance is gratefully received!!

Thanks for letting me know about the bugs you're having. I'm aware of all of them and have fixed the KK static's bugs, but am having some troubles with the part. As soon as I get it fixed I'll release a patch.
