Make a station into a ship?

[GalileoX]

Has anyone seen an add on for Burch's Space Station Building Blocks that incorporated RCS attitude control into A station? What about engines and build a ship vs a station?

I've seen star ship building blocks, but if I remember correctly you had to use ".1" time if you wanted to control the engines without spinning into despair.

As for RCS control in the station I heard of a mythical ship that used electrical systems to auto correct the RCS for the mass of the vessel\vessels its connected to... now what was that thing called... Dragon Lancer?

Thanks. I'll look for it.

We're currently working on an add-on devoted to the sole purpose of building ships out of modules, but we're in dire need of some more hands... If you got any coding-, modeling- or texturing skills, you might consider joyning up. The developement thread is here:

Allthough the last update is a bit long ago. As I said, we're currently only two in there, and it looks as if we're both having less and less time...

Thanks Jedidia,

I currently posses none of the necessary skills but as I get more and more into the wonderful world of Orbiter I find myself wishing I had. I am a pretty quick study so I will pursue the knowledge necessary but I'm afraid I will be of no help any time soon but I will be watching for your add on. It sounds like fun.

Oh, sorry, I was being stupid, the dragonfly orbital pusher, it comes with the stock installation of orbiter.
