Space Shuttle MKVI

WARNING! MANY PARTS INCOMING!

I present to you the Endeavour shuttle, the only shuttle capable to launch your 2,5m station modules. It’s back and it’s better in probably every way…. check my signature to time travel.

Javascript is disabled. View full album

Features:

- 10 ton tested lifting capacity (confident it can do more )

- 293 parts…. Under 300 baby

- Looks like the real deal

- Comes with cargo bay door that is functional

Usability

Flight:

This shuttle flies just like a rocket but remember that it’s engines have an angle (15/20 degrees). Therefor you will have to aim 15/20 degrees higher than the indicator on the navball.

Other important note: when you launch the controls are centered on the crew capsule. To control it straight however you have to switch control to the probe that you can find in one of the pictures.

Actiongroup1: Main engines

Actiongroup2: Maneuvering engines

Cargo bay door

Opening the door does include some instructions. Every step is bound to an action group except the “free pivot†of the claw, this requires manual input.

Actiongroup3: toggle claw

Actiongroup4: detach door and push to claw

Actiongroup5: opening thrusters (first enable free pivot)

Actiongroup6: closing engines (after the door is closed, lock the pivot)

Tips

- Strut the cargo the the door and shuttle

- Try it out without cargo to get a feel for the shuttle

- Play with it and have fun

You can comment on the forum or send me a message for more information/instructions.

Good luck building your stations!

This is amazing. I'm especially impressed because I could never get a large scale shuttle to work. I'll have to try it out.

Looking awesome! One question though... you can't take kerbals in and out of both cockpits, right? Otherwise, a nice big shuttle for a very reasonable part count.

Rune. Well done!

No that's right.. only the left one.

Yes and please tell me what your experience is with the craft, when you test you craft like 20 times it becomes normal and easy
