Single Saucer To Orbit ! (99.94% Stock)

[JaneKermen]

It's Mostly Stock - The ONLY mod is the Kerbal Aviation Lights ( http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/aviation-lights-v1-2/ ) by BigNose to get that great green glow.

A fleet of these would probably be nice - with Lazors !

Notes:

1 Key - releases launch clamps

3 Key - deploys dual parachutes (500 foot version)

4 Key - cuts chute

5 Key - toggles low altitude Basic jets (Below 15K)

6 Key - toggles high altitude Turbo jets (5 - 30K)

7 Key - toggles rockets (above 30K)

8 Key - Toggles lighting

- You ONLY need RCS for docking - there's enough reaction wheels inside the craft to stabilize it at any attitude/speed

- You should probably set an action key for releasing the Jr. Docking clamp as well

- Refueling can be more easily accomplished by right clicking between red/blue lights at the very bottom of the craft.

What.

Also, do you have a .craft without the lights?

[Sochin]

I think KerbMav is trying to replicate the tones from Close Encounters.

[JaneKermen]

You can just edit them out of the craft file. I'm finishing up a bigger Kerbal carrying version so I'll make one without the lights when I put that one out.

Now I've seen everything.

I remember trying to make flying saucers in my early days with this game -- they were never as successful as this. Also, the lights look really cool!

Thank you

I'm about finished with a bigger Jeb carrying version and am going to test it out on a flight to Lathe then I'll post it here (with craft files)

[JaneKermen]

I'm still testing the new Jebified Saucer. The Mk I has some <ahem> landing issues.

(Notice that Jeb is not smiling - Sorry J. )
