Description

5:VERT 6:HORZ 7:pulse 0:gimbal

A stock flitter called Ladybug. Built with 153 of the finest parts, its root part is dockingPortLarge.

A 2.5m gauge flitter easily-included in a lunar exploration mission. Leave the engines off but adjust the throttle as you need. Stab Brakes for a burst of power! Control from the jump seat for HORZ flight or from a VERT reference when taking off and landing.

To refuel, land it on top of e.g. a Gremlin.

It doesn’t look like much but it is tremendous fun and has a pack of d/v for medium distance exploration or even going to orbit! (Inspired by Brikoleur’s ‘Flea’.)

UPDATE: with pleasure, I now ‘plug’ Atkara’s entry into this market space with 3 in a series. of which his Mini Lander Mk1 is very closely relevant to my own Ladybug. Please check it out!

UPDATE: this package now includes 6 Ladybugs mounted atop a Zephyr booster. Can go at least as far as the Mun without a fuel stop. To refuel Ladybug, dock it atop a Goblin munar mining rig.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.7.3.
