Lunar Development

[Danny Batten]

Right! Now I’ve made a shuttle to, well shuttle stuff to and so from the Earth and the moon

The specific features on her is she has two inbuilt drones and an ion array.
Which can easily be installed, but more on that later.

she has many ports available for docking.

So only using the 4 frontier engines she only has 1600m/s of delta v with a full 500t cargo space filled.

Or by using the ion engines she can get 5500m/s, but that will take a while lol.
So I would recommend using one frontier and all the ions for 1800m/s.

This craft her is called the Bendis.

So now I have a ferry craft for people on the moon to orbit.
A cargo craft for the surface of the moon to orbit
And a craft for LEO to LLO

Well shit.

I didn’t pay attention to time warp.
Aaaannnd I crashed. I’ll have to send another cargo ship to replace her.....

At least the payload is mostly undamaged

Oops! We hardly had time to get to know her.
(I'd replace the payload as well, but that's only my "I want to be realistic" inner voice)

No point to waist good fuel.
It’s for drones. I’ll keep it there till it runs out, then I’ll replace her

That didn’t happen to be Bendis, did it??!?

No no that’s my shuttle

 

[Josh H.]

No no that’s my shuttle

Ok (phew) I couldn’t tell if the black part was the payload.

I’ve temporarily stopped developing due to real life situation. Exams

Good luck Danny!

We may be a small community. but solidarity. with the same passion. The translation is not perfect. I hope you understood the meaning

Thanks guys!

And I hope you luck too!

But anyway back on topic

Wow... that's a large station!

Mine consist of like 3 large fuel tanks rn, I plan on adding more.
Kinda off-topic question: how the heck do you all get into orbit perfectly? I'm forced to use the Docking/Teleporter mod to get things right
(PC 1.35, btw)

This is why the URG does not work anymore...

Hi and welcome to the forum
For your question, you may be interested in Horus'thread "the basics", and especially this post:

Haha thanks.
It takes practice
But as my friend here said go there to learn how

That, of course, is a just another reason

Will this have anything to do with the Lunar City?

This helps infrastructure for the future.
So not directly in the construction, but will be helpful for the upkeep and usage of the city
