Hi all, sorry about the lack of progress/updates and thanks for the continued interest. RL has been taking all my attention for the last couple of months. I am strictly a paper and pen guy with no modelling coding skills so I really need someone to take the completed assets over the line and into the game! I will PM Blackheart to see if the great work he has done on this could be handed over to someone who doesn't have quite so many projects on the go.

So in short I looking for people to help get this out there in the velvety blackness of space. I am here to marshal and tweak configs but I need some people who understand the arcane nature of unity.

BTW "taking pre-orders" is classic marketing speak, translation "we have no idea when it will be ready"

Hello all, I am just testing the version passed to me by Nazari. I will spend a few hours checking it over and writing an amusing part description and then I will post a beta version for testing. Later today probably.

Thanks for the patience everyone.

How's your plan with the engines by the way Sage?

The O-10 RCS motors work like a charm. With the internal RCS tankage it has about 1100 DV

Try to use most of the fuel in orbit, coming down with full fuel tanks can make for hard landings.

I'm really looking forward to this - it's adorable :D

Thanks dude, you make some great stuff so that means a lot. I am looking back through my sketch book and I remember that I was thinking of a .625m single kerbal re-entry pod..Now I see that your F.T.T pack is going to have .625m EVA pod type thingy I really want to resurrect the single seat re-entry pod idea.

Would a single or 2 part lifting body .625m pod be of any interest to the wider community?

So this is the early version, all configs subject to change etc.

Known issues:

No I.V.A.

Right Flap is un-textured

No Hatch texture

The original idea was that kerbals access the shuttle through the rear docking port and would only use the hatch when they have safely cras..I mean landed.

I think for simplicity it might be best to have a small door in the current position of the hatch on the model.

As I said earlier, be aware of how much fuel is left when coming in to land. If you come in heavy and steep you will crash.

I am thinking of moving it down the tech-tree a little...thoughts?

Finally a huge thank you to all those who have given their time and skill to bring this little beauty to fruition.

Well, from the pictures, I got to admit: this is already smaller than I had in mind (but still awesome!)-So I'm not too sure if a smaller one is needed...

Edit: Starting up KSP now, I'll update again once I tried this a bit :)

Edit 2: Testing on Kerbin (yes, I know) show that this is absolutely uncontrollable in Atmosphere... even with RCS- all it can do is roll...

Edit 3: Or it does NOT roll.... i dont get it, but right now its quite unstable
