[WIP] Gizmo Rocketry Concepts

Oh lord. More stuff to learn!? On top of the mounds of stuff I already don't know? Kill me now.

It's not that bad, not to mention those particles can wait. Let's get the Minotaur out first.

Oh, and BTW, what happened to Minotaur I from the OP? Do you intend to convert it someday? I think it could use some adjustments, but it looks pretty good.

Also, check this out: http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_stage/haps.htm

HAPS upper stages are used on Minotaur rockets for orbit corrections. Would be handy, seeing as those are pure solid launchers, thus making precise insertions very hard, near impossible without plugins or an external calculator. HAPS would help with fine-tuning the orbit.

The Minotaur one was scaled to 64%. Going to have to rebuild it.

That's not a bad idea about the HAPS though. I'll see if I can work that in.

Hey folks! Just letting y'all know that this mod is not dead. I'm just on vacation. Should be in a position to work on it in a few days!

Happy Holidays to all!

It's just a Sphere, I cut it in half, mirrored it across the z-axis, now it's pill-shaped. I just use convex collider in Unity. Am I wrong for doing that?

Don't do that. Use Unity's built-in capsule collider. Whenever you can, use the built-in colliders (box, capsule, or sphere), they're MUCH, MUCH cheaper on resources than mesh colliders.

I've been unable to load anything in game with the built in colliders. I'll download the newest update to unity when I get home and give it a shot! Thanks for the advice!
