Kris Kerb's Kraft Kompository!

[KristopherKerblumbus]

So I finally got to the point where I've designed something I'm happy enough with and confident enough with to submit it for criticism. I present: The KSS Gull-Class Utility Transport (UT). This craft is an SSTO that can transport midsize loads into space in its cargo bay, and a crew of six Kerbals in addition to a pilot and engineer. A dorsal docking port provides access to space stations. The ship has enough fuel to take its load into a 100km orbit, with just enough fuel to return to the KSC if you use the monoprop to deorbit. Also, for in-atmospheric emergencies, the spaceplane does come with an emergency abort system, which will pull the cabin and crew compartment away from the rest of the craft and activate parachutes which will slow the craft to a safe landing and recovery velocity.

Only mod used for this particular craft is B9 Aerospace - at this point I'm only using stock aero, but will move up to FAR when I feel more confident.

Let me know if I'm doing everything right here--I'm gonna turn this thread into "my" thread for my ships, most of which will be modded in *some* way, but if I need to make any changes, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to fix any mistakes.
