Seeking a shuttle to dock with my in-progress MIR.

[Rune]

Well, if you have to fiddle with it around a space station, and don't care much about its payload, you could check out mine. Somebody will steal the "pico" title from me (), but it's at least mini, eye-pleasing, and I think I win at part count, which is great for stations: 75 parts on the launchpad.

You can of course find it on my thread, link in my sig.

Rune. The fact it's only three segments on the boosters is irking me more and more, though.

That's really cute Rune! I'm amazed so many people have got one working.

I would prefer stock even though I am tempted by the very low part count and cargo bay of the mini shuttle mod.

Anymore?

Yeah, the Mini Shuttle is wonderful. Also, it doesn't flip out of control whenever you try to fly it manually (like half the other shuttle mods out there) and the IVA is fantastic. Does take up a bit of memory, though.

What if we combine your shuttle's nose with my shuttle's body?

Your OMS pods look really nice, too.

How about I give you a craft file with my shuttle's nose?

I'm actually working on a better one right now.

Pick your nose:

Here's the real thing in profile for comparison:

Looking at the proportions, I think the top one would go better on a mini shuttle like Rune's.

Here's the new shuttle: http://www./download/t1o9ktr8fy5y2j2/Turbo+Shuttle+II.craft

You'll have to fix the RCS and struting though.

Wow those look cool. I would use them, but `probably then I would have a very hard time making orbit, with my starved design. I mean, I'm pretty sure the structural weight there eats the whole ~1mT cargo ^^' But well done! The community sure thanks you.

Edit: and as usual, I try to rep you too much.

Rune. How about posting them in the aesthetics thread?

[Majorjim!]

This is all very exciting.

My MIR is finished now so I will keep an eye on these shuttles.

thanks all for your input and for sharing!

When I read the title, I first thought it was a lame attempt at a Cold War-era personals dating message!

Ha aha ha! good one. "Must be capable of multiple re-entrys..."

How's the shuttle building going guys?

GusTurbo and giggleplex are you combining shuttles?

in my opinion the tiberdyne shuttle is pretty nice.

have already tried it and send it to my space station. there are also a few pics of my stock shuttle.

much harder to fly because i have to adjust the mainsail thrust limiter in flight to keep it stable.

stock engine with very high vectoring would solve most problems i guess.
