Kerbal Flight Industries Valiant (Tug)

[PIRATEONTHERUN]

Introducing the KFI Valian [TUG], a versatile tug designed for operations in Cis-Munar space, chiefly tugging landers and rovers between LKO and munar orbit.

Tips for flight:

1. Start with throttle at two ticks above the one-third mark.

2. Double tap '1' to de-activate gimbal on the Rockomax engines.

3. Fly to 10,000 meters with appropriate throttle adjustments to be at around 200 m/s when there.

4. Press '1' to re-activate gimbal, turn over to 45 degrees, and up throttle.

5. Continue slowly turning over until you reach 90 degrees when going around 1000 m/s.

6. Raise apokerb and circularize at desired orbit.

7. Unfold solar panels and antennae, then celebrate!

8. Don't forget to de-orbit the circularization stage using the built in probe body. No space debris!

The Valiant comes with improved communication abilities with the addition of two Communotron 88-88's to the standard set up of two Communotron 16 antennae, allowing for seamless communications during missions reaching all the way to Minmus and beyond!

And the now patented Nite-Light docking technology:

----Action Groups----

1: Toggle gimbal on Rockomax engines,

2: Toggle solar panels.

3: Toggle antennae.

4: Toggle docking lights.

I'm very sad this hasn't recieved any replies.

The nite-lite docking technology made me laugh, AND would be pretty useful!

This is really cool- So, when you say LKO, you mean a close pass to the Mun that doesn't actually get into orbit?

Totally agree, the night light docking is pretty thoughtful. Good work friend!

Simple but still aestheticaly pleasing
