A BIG INTERPLANETARY SPACECRAFT … IN A TINY, FULL FEATURED PACKAGE!

I’ve always wanted something like this!, since I started SR2, haven’t you? (even did searches for such a Spacecraft?). Now I’ve finally built my own, “GO ANYWHERE SPACECRAFT”. She Performs & Handles Fantastic! Enough DELTA-V for Multiple Planets Hopping, I Hope you Enjoy the latest “CanadaDucK CRAFT”.

. Launch from Anywhere, Go Anywhere, (Several Times, if you have the Skill!), Land Anywhere, Return from Anywhere, Land or Parachute in to Home!

‘TINKER TOY’ Spacecraft Features;

. High Velocity ION-DRIVE (For: Launch, Atmospheric Flight, Escape & Capture DELTA-V, etc)
. Low Velocity ION-DRIVE Strap on Motors (For: Orbital Maneuvers, Micro DELTA-V Corrections, etc)
. ION-Solar Arrays (mostly for show, Pretty!)
. Quad High Altitude/Thin Atmosphere Parachutes (Orange & White / in Dock Head / Staged for a “Legged Landing”)
. Quad Low Altitude Parachutes (Blue & White / Staged with Capsule)
. Landing Mode
. ‘NICE LITTLE CAPSULE’ w/ “CanadaDucK Dock’
. Camera’s, Lightning, Detailing, etc…

KEY NOTE;
. Separate AG,s for High Velocity & Low Velocity ION-DRIVE,s with Override’s [OR] (Each works Separately / or Together, with Burn-Nodes) P.S.: Use them together, Toggling each AG [OR] on and off (while Firing), speeding up & creeping down on Final DELTA-V.

Caution: DISARM - RE-PACK (“Manually Power Down”) UN-USED High Altitude Thin Atmosphere Parachutes before Droo Re-Entry! (Their not set up for Droo, and will Break Off or Explode!)

Although this was a bit of a royal pain to build, I find this little craft Amazing, as it can do pretty much everything I ever wanted in SR2!, right from the Launch Pad!

As always, Enjoy Friends!

    I made a whole series of ion crafts and in one of mine went to Neptune, landed and got back 17 times! Just shows the capabilities of ion technology! Well done
