qeveren Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Anybody have any suggestions for side-mounting jettison-able mech-jeb equipped buggies for deployment upon the Mun? Give how the attach points are configured, any attempt I\'ve made at this promptly results in a large explosion. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustymcclintock Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 build your rocket and directly attach the buggy to the side of the descent stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeveren Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well, the idea is I want to be able to jettison the buggies from the lander, with the buggies controlled by Mech-Jebs instead of the command pod. But the way they attach, the mech-jeb ends up intersecting the body of the rocket with... predictable results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustymcclintock Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 sounds like its a bit too advanced for me, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semininja Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Try attaching a cart to a radial decoupler, then attaching a small MechJeb module to the cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephram Kerman Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The cart can be used to rotate parts in the VAB. If you then move the rotated part onto some other part of the ship, it stays rotated like that. You can do all kinds of fun things with this. For your case, maybe use it to rotate another cart and mech Jeb upside-down or sideways, and then attach them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeveren Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Oh hey, that\'s clever. I\'ll give that a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeveren Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Oh man it really hates me. I get a buggy to the Mun, drop it off, send the Kerbals home... and the buggy vanishes without a trace. Arrrrgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephram Kerman Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ew. That sounds frustrating.So, um.... please don\'t tell anyone, but I\'m having trouble finding the Mech Jeb plugin or whatever it is. :-[ I\'ve been all over the forum, wiki, etc. Forum search not working today. Where do you get the thing?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephram Kerman Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Oh, thank you, thank you! I must have searched right past it, at least two times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
