[guz667]

Greetings Kerbonauts!

Guz from Guzworks here, wanted to drop in and post a little bit about what I'm currently working on. Guzworks, a subsidiary of Xion Corp., is proud to present the latest and greatest in deep space utility vessels. Kerbals and Kerbettes, I present to you, the Odysseus Class Deep Space Salvage and Rescue Frigate!

Features:

Abort System - Specially placed decouplers can be activated in the abort sequence. All manned sections of the craft are decoupled and pushed away from the remaining hull and/or wreck for Kerbals to await rescue safely.

Astro Droids - Although they take up a Clamp-o-Tron and a Clamp-o-Tron Jr., two Astro Droids stand ready to maneuver into hazardous zones, pick up pieces, and dock them back with the main vessel.

Search and Docking Lights - Lights are placed at the front view Cuppola Module for wreck search capabilities. Lights at the Clamp-o-Trons making docking easier, and also help to light the ship in the darkness of space.

Xenon Containers - The vessel can rescue probes, satellites, and other vessels using Xenon for fuel, refuel and power them, and send them on their way.

Here is a video featuring the craft before my upcoming series with it. Proof of flight is first, followed by some commentary on the ship and some nice views of it in orbit.

Lastly, here is the craft file for it, complete with a launch stage! (Be careful with it...I've had a number of crashes. But it DOES have the umph to get into orbit)
