I was working on another of my requests when this came into my mind. We have UCGO. We have station building. We just don't have them together. :hail: I think it would be sweet if there were unpackable modules that could be programmed so that only 1 would fit inside of a DGIV-2 cargo bay, contrary to the original 4 cargos. Anybody up for it? ;)

Well Dan's [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4488"]Inflatable Space Rescue Unit for UCGO[/ame] can be docked but it's not the best long term habitat :lol:

It's not UCGO but I did make a couple of DGIV/XR2 payload space station modules a while back (They're pretty bad with lighting on the wrong side etc.:facepalm:)

With the UCGO I was making a few rough modules not too long ago, they would unpack into either generic config vessels or into UCGO Station vessels
[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4585"]Generic Station UMMU/UCGO Support[/ame] (Those with crew or cargo that is)

I was planning a node, hab, truss, solar panel, cargo pallet and a core. All except the core would be UCGO, which would be an old fashioned DGIV/XR2 cargo, but contain it's own fuel, engines etc. None of these could be repacked.

I had pretty much finished the node (essentially a UCGO replacement for my old one) which also can be grappled by DGIV and XR2.

Anyway I don't know when I'll have time to actually do this and there are some features (like people consuming 02) that would be better suited to a dll vessel. So yeah this stuff is possible if anyone wants to take a crack at it!

I think it would be sweet if there were unpackable modules that could be programmed so that only 1 would fit inside of a DGIV-2 cargo bay, contrary to the original 4 cargos.

I'm really not sure if that's possible with UCGO, the best I can imagine is a Spacecraft 3 dummy old fashioned cargo DGIV jettisoning a UCGO payload, although it might be better to just jettison your inflated/erected module then.
