You're setting up some amazing infrastructure here.

This looks like alot of fun,can't wait to try,thanks for making this.

Thanks Interceptor and Pipcard.

I'm really hoping for feedback for improvement here. Two "poor" votes on OH Mods without any feedback as to what's poorly done isn't terribly helpful.

I've been contemplating stripping out the RMS meshes I picked up from NASA's site and replacing them with Universal RMS and defining some attachment points to replicate the construction of the ZTC TLC (lunar craft). I did a mockup of the Weyland with an early TLC construction attached to the scaffolding below the factory command module, but haven't taken it through Mesh Wizard or written ini files for yet. I thought visiting the Weyland and being able to see some of the construction projects in progress might be a nice addition.

I've also been contemplating adding several scenarios with both this add-on and the X-37C-MB for bringing supplies and the workforce. I've also been experimenting with Multistage2 guidance files so that several of the operations can be automated, and have one so far that I'm really pleased with.

Advice, criticisms, and suggestions greatly appreciated.

I agree, why would this get an average rating of 2?

No reason for a 2,this actually really good.
