10. Engine Breakaway system
11. Solar Radiators for reducing heat and generating electricity
12. Tri-chute - Three chute in one.

Future Planned Items

1. Hinged Fairlings, because they look cool.

Got some feedback so I updated the cargo bay design and operation.

Demo video of the updated cargo bay.

Hey could you make a dispenser o something like that?

What do you want it to dispense?

What do you want it to dispense?

Satellites like starlink v2

Satellites like starlink v2

So click and you get a sat… hmmm

So click and you get a sat… hmmm

I mean its an idea, u tell how many satellites u want and depending on how many u tell, the part is biggee

I'll see what is doable

YT Channel hit 300 subs so I decided to release a quick update. Added the Engine Breakaway system, which allows you to toss your heavy lift engine once you reach orbit which is known as 1.5 staging!

Still working on a host of cool stuff that will be coming with the "big" update later this month.

 

[Power9Legend]

cool

Version 2 is now released, packed with a lot of new custom parts to improve your rocket design!

Additional Items:

1. Petal Fairings - An alternative to fairings, these ones don't explode off your rocket potentially getting caught up in the payload (it happens). Rather a far more elegant solution they open up like flower petals allowing the space craft to exit the enclousure.

Comes in 4 variants:

• Cone for small payloads.
• Capsule Tube for typical payloads.
• Tube for Apollo-like operation (where your store the lander in the fairing and the orbiter on top) this one will adapt to the payload (not fairing) placed on top.
• Massive Tube (just like the tube... but big enough to fit a whole full accent rocket in it!

1. Vertical Landing Gear
   These compact landing gear extend straight down past your engine nozzle for a more comfortable landing when size/slimness is a premium or you don't want to add areodyanmics to the side of your rocket. Great for SSTO (single stage to orbit) rockets.
2. Hidden Seperator
   As the Truss Separator is getting an improvement I decided to split the invisiable separatro option off it into its own separate part. This allows you to add it in on your spacecraft without that visible "this is clearly the separator". Also retracts on use.
3. Solar Radiator
   Reduces "Heat" from upcoming items that produce "Heat" and a small amount of Electricity
   Requires N2O4's Electrical Pack to be fully functional
4. MegaCHUTE Deorbiter
   Basically a massive parachute to reduce your upper atmosphere speeds fast, however be prepared for a very loooooong decent.

Fixes:

1. Truss Separator
   After much negative feedback these have gotten a MAJOR upgrade in looks to appear more "truss like" with an appropriate number of trusses for various widths. The invisiable portion was removed to become the "Hidden Separator" as its no longer compatible.
2. Cargo Bay Doors
   Additional capbilities added, the floor will release everything attached, and in the center of the bay is a docking port for payload capture.

Other Parts Unchanged:

1. 45 Degree Trusses and Connectors
2. Engine Breakaway System
3. PicoSat

Upcoming Planned Parts:

1. Thermal Drag Grid
2. Decent Pod
3. Launch Elevator
4. Launch/Decent Pod System

Current Items:

1. Truss Seperators, now you can see what is between your stages (also capable of changing colour/shapes)
2. Cargobay, for when you want to launch a shuttle worth of payload.
3. 45 Degree struts and connector for more elaborate super structures
4. Rover Core (a rover core without torque so its harder to flip your rover in low-grav situations, also has extendable wheels if you really want to get your payload weight down. Just don't flip it upsidedown or you'll be stuck!)

Future Planned Items

1. Hinged Fairlings, because they look cool.
2. Flag, make your mark on alien soil.
3. Pocket Landing Gears, for when you want to be fancy!
