UDK Tech. - Heavy Lifter IBEX2

[grawl]

Hello !

I\'d like to present you the IBEX2, a ship that can climb mountains !!!!! (not literally but, you know,can carry some that will... well..anyway.)

Proud from some successful landings on the moon,

the pilots wanted to try something more exciting...... !!PLANETS Jeb screamed. I know they exist here somewhere even if the Great Kerbinist Science assembly says contrary !

So, while they are training (can take a while) we here at UDK tech are cleaning the grounds for when they get ready!

Got all a line of probes and satellites relay technology going on, paving the way for plausible planet apparition in the sky, getting tested currently on Kerbin and the Mün.

So, here is a flexible model that can take all sorts of large payloads anywhere near Kerbin, and leave them there, yeah, nothing more , nothing less.

I made some kind of pre-visit planetary probe, but it can also be used as seismometer, radio relay, or a temporary refuge for lost Kerbonauts on the moon!

I used stock parts and some tanks, motors and sticks from Probodobodobodyne and SiliskoEdition and Kosmos. (but only a few things).

Eeeaaasyyyyy.....

GO!

Fly little birdI use it as a working prototype craft for the future planets updates, I\'m gonna have a ship ready to face their dangers when they arrive!

It\'s basically a space crane.

Here are pictures and .craft.

Use it, modify it, crash it (eventually)

I tried to make the crane fit in a classic design, it\'s quite hard with these motors on the side !

Tell me what you fellow Kerbonauts think !

I think this is gonna be awesome when docking gets integrated! Something needs to bring safely the modules to planets/moons, heh !

I\'ll have to work on the maneuverability of the ship while stationary for more precision landing (more RCS thrusters !)

cheers
