XCom Skyranger

[Master_Evar]

I´ve been playing both KSP and XCom an thought of building the XCom Skyranger in KSP. Without mods i created a vehicle that could start and land vertically,and house 4 passenger kerbals. I´ve got some images here:

It´s a tight fit, but you can get kerbals in and out of their Hitchiker.

This vehicle does work in the atmosphere of Laythe, i ´cheated´ it over there with fuelhacks.

Unfortunately i got a little bit to excited during landing

This vehicle is has a kinda good handling, but is very heavy at the beginning. It has RCS to use during lifting, landing and hovering, and a docking port at the bottom for maybe the transport rocket to laythe or for refueling. Vertical engines are bound to 2 and normal engines to 1. Use both when cruising, or it will drop.

Wow! That's a nice vehicle you got there. I tried recreating it as well at some point but failed miserably. Kudos to you!
