Usage of DLC Parts

You may have noticed that this craft uses DLC parts. I have tried my best for the longest time to avoid using parts from mods or the DLCs. However, I’ve come to realized that this inhibates my ability to build higher quality and some craft concepts in general. I will avoid using DLC parts where it can be done with stock parts (e.g. Gemini capsule), but you will notice the DLC being used for functionality and small moving aesthetics.

Update

Now has navigation lights and uses liquid fuel + oxidizer to generate electricity for fuel cells.
