You folks ever get nostalgic for the good old days of scifi? I do. so I am working on a little lander kit to celebrate the release of 0.12 :) OK! finally after several days (and much at home drama!), Here\'s the 5m munlander I promised. Textures are ok, and the ship works well, although it is a pain to assemble. I have included a .craft file with the parts. to assemble, place the fuel tank on top of the capsule. then the next 2 parts. click it off the capsule, set it down, put back ONTO the top of the capsule, then grab the RCS unit( the one with the large hole in the top ;) and move it down until it latches onto the capsule base. after that build as normal. Why it needs this I have no idea, but nothing I tried fixed it. ( I just use the craft file . its simpler). the lander has 5 attachment points on the bottom, the center one is for connecting to a booster rocket. Hope at least someone likes this :) enjoy!

I love it!

I had suggested an even larger lander, and a series of impractical parts whose sole purpose is to make it a challenge to get them into orbit, or onto the mun.

Like a 20m diameter lander with a casino on top? - extremely heavy and lots of drag, the point being the challenge of getting it safely to the mun. Or a one-piece space station, because kerbals are so practically minded. Instead of launching in small payloads, use moar boosters and send it up whole.

I can\'t stop thinking Union Class Dropship from BattleTech

I could do that.. the modeling isn\'t hard, now that I\'m getting used to the export tricks, and I happen to like the spherical ships a lot :D I\'ll look into it after i finish getting the lander configured and massed correctly.

(am also thinking about making the Discovery... still love that old ship)

What do you mean look into it? You are 90% there already. Matias a few posts up thinks it too. I was hoping there was another BT fan on the site.

Plus I would want it to scale

78 meter diamiter in the middle

81.5 meters from ground to nose

3,600 tons

hmmm only problem with that is that no way would it fit on the launch pad.... not that jeb would care as long as he had a couple more boosters to use ;)

Dude, It\'s the Aries 1b from 2001.

It just can EASILY be converted into the BT lander.
