Here we finally are folks! after a few months i finally got around to upgrading this, and let me assure you, there are plenty of upgrades for you to enjoy.
Some of the upgrades include:
- Non legacy parachutes*
- Detachable heatshield*
- Airbrakes*
- RCS positions and amount*
- New side mounted thrusters for ascent*
Theres a list of people id like to thank for the help given on this project, without whom would the completion of this would not have been possible, those people who deserve an extraordinary thanks are BM94, rocketcrazy, and DeepSpaceIndustries
Anyway im sure you've gotten bored reading this, so ill hurry and tell you how to fly already
remember that this is a lander, so youll need to create your own ascent stage, or perhaps use inspiration as a payload.
Atmospheric planets and moons have different landing procedures!
Once your'e on course with your target planet, you can deploy the airbrakes and go through reentry, after that, arm the parachutes (AG2) if youre on a planet with a thin or thick atmosphere you can skip the parachute part. After that, you'll need to activate the next stage which will detach the heatshield, if you're in a planet with an atmosphere similar to Droo or Earth, then you need to deploy the parachutes first or else it will slam back into the craft, likely causing some damage. The parachutes might snap on some planets, at which point you will need to activate the landing engines (AG11 or the next stage) engines are required for landing regardless of if parachutes have been deployed or not
The only difference between reentry and moon landings is airbrakes are not needed and you can jettison the heatshield whenever you want

If you all have any feedback whatsoever, feel free to post it here, it helps a lot!
@NeonSpaceAgency consider yourself in luck, the next version of inspiration (likely 3.0) will feature a new abort sequence and a landing script, among plenty of other new features
@Raymondhrdina sounds awesome! Keep me posted on that, I’m excited to see your end result!
@Gameknight3603
I’m working on a mats entry, aero brake and landing vizzy currently. Seems though, after beta updates that my suicide burn math needs to be rewritten for the new attributes. You did great though with the landing gear, takes a good firm landing and don’t spring back up
@rocketcrazy the second stage doubles as a motorboat if you land it in water
@Gameknight3603 can you make it less rockety i dont like space
@Gameknight3603 i managed to fix the problem by slowing down before entry of the atmosphere thank you anyway
@jesse1233454 I'd recommend going into your settings and disabling heat damage, as thats likely whats causing you issues, are you following the reentry procedures I wrote down?
When I enter the atmosphere it just explodes
@NeptuneX2 I probably won’t add one since this is a fairly easy craft to fly to begin with, maybe on some other future projects but not this one
@Gameknight3603 yes
@NeptuneX2 I’ll see what I can do, it already has an automated abort, but I’m assuming you mean an auto land script?
@Gameknight3603 can you make it Automated?
@IceCraftGaming apparently i build efficiently
only 300 parts?!?!
@Gameknight3603
Lol
@MisatoKatsuragi awww :(
still kinda sucks
@Gameknight3603 thanks man! I'll post a link to it under the other post to show you what I've been working on
@RamenNoodlesXVII sure, go right ahead, just remember to give due credit and im completely fine with it
@Gameknight3603 hey so I'm using your starship as a base for a Crewed one. Would it be okay if I post it sometime?
WooHoo!,
Solid gold mate. Solid gold
I remember this being posted everywhere in the SR2 dizzy server lmao
👏 mm yes
