Anyone make any cool MK3 space planes so far?


Recommended Posts

I love the new MK3 parts, cargo bay included! The bigger fuel bay was absolutely necessary, I'm glad SQUAD listens to the fanbase on that one. We can now start making more legit stock shuttles in KSP. Has anyone made any practical space planes so far, though?

Here's my shuttle concept. I wanted something that could be used for grabbing things like asteroids as well as possible landings on near-Kerbin objects like Minmus and the Mun. On the back, it uses two Mark 55 radial engines, followed by one of KW Rocketry's engines that uses only RCS fuel. Then on the sides (because of the awesome new parts editor), I was able to place four of the rockomax 24-77 engines for descent! A little complicated to land, I have to use the rear engines to come to a near stop above the surface and then slowly decelerate with the rockomax engines. Includes TAC life support.
