IF YOU LOVE ROBOTICS! then this is pretty cool. Took me over 100 hours to build and test.
Runs bit slower than usual due to high part count but overall perfectly stable and runs nicely given little bit of patience. No Cracken attacks UNLESS you save or load with solar panels extended. Retract completely before saving the craft. The rest can stay open. One can still harvest ore and use isru from ec provided by 8 Rtgs and 2 big fuel cells. Solar is mostly for show as most things on this craft.
Very Satisfying watching the bridge transform as well as other mechanisms fold in and out.(ive spent actual hours just watching it open and close)

Includes:
Rover with retractable garage bay.
Rover lift for pilot in and out of ship.
Mining equipment and isru (2700 delta v fully fueled) for moon hopping(MH).
Scout pole; can rotate to spot moon pirates before they spot you.
Highly over engineered retractable catwalk/bridge; different variations depending on needs or crew placement.
Science lift for 2 from ship to ground to place deployable science.
Cinema seating for 8 (for those beautiful sunsets on Moho)
CCTV in MK2 cockpit(rasterprop)
And an Ai named Ari that is waay too obsessed with stargazing rather than doing actual science.

Sadly!
No Hotkeys yet I haven’t figured that part out but 1 to 10, (abort to open all hatches) can be configured to make everything transform beautifully..
There are about 22 or 23 controllers I think, one thats not in use for future controls if needed. So play around until you figure out what they all do, as is they are all set inversely to playing as i use one hotkey to ‘Play controller and reverse controller direction’ which i find works beautifully to extend and retract the different robotics.

Try it for now and Please give advice on adding the hotkeys.
