[WIP] M.E.M Munar Excursion Module (10/14/14)

[jordanjay29]

A little ingame testing not sure why scale is off need to go over notes again

<snip>

That looks really nice. I can't wait to try it out in game.

This looks really good.

Big as can make it and still fit a 2 M maybe 2 versions make this a single kerbal pod and up to next part size for 2 thoughts? body size its fine its just those monsterous kerbal heads XD

[jordanjay29]

It looks fine for 2 Kerbals. The real LEM was pretty tiny as well, as was Gemini. They seemed to hold 2 astronauts quite well, even with enough space to sleep, suit up for EVA and do other stuff.

And some more testing fixed RCS for 4 way symmetry, few changed to make think ill make the decoupler built into the base to make the fit more natural

There are plenty of mods with decouplers integrated into parts. It just depends on the decoupler force.

yea issue is the force is perfect gives it that nice pop and jump up on release much like the actual lem but its separating everything attached to the lower part. maybe a way to separate only top node? o.O all i did was add the TX RL parameters to the cfg.

[karlalbury]

^^ found it (explosiveNodeID = top)

[karlalbury]

Finished the Shroud

Awesomeness!

[Sylandro]

Looks rad. I suggest removing the "Mun or bust" though, or making a alternate texture for it.

[karlalbury]

its just my personal texture release will be blank

[tater]

Since it is possible to set a flag for a specific mission only, maybe you could make Mün or Bust! a flag, then people could apply it or not

[Night Lone]

How is the progress going? Looks awesome btw

[AlbertKermin]

How is this project coming? I can barely wait to get a chance to do a properly stockalike Mun landing!

[Spacepetscompany]

Yes, how are things going?

[karlalbury]

been little busy with holidays and getting info on the new 0.9 update and making changes ive tweaked the lander trying to make it as compatible and like stock as can (making the landing stage and return to use stock engines and explosive bolts for the escape stage (trying to work out issues with the shroud (originally animated opening but think ill be going with sections that separate)

also reworked the shape of the main lander to have good point to attach science modules.
