After all these years (just 1 year, lol), the great Ion nation reaches for the stars with its very first rocket. The Ekansora Rocket is a standard use module, capable of re-entry. No plans were made to extend the usage for this rocket, as it was designed to just get the job done. Only 2 of these were made, the first rocket is still out there, somewhere, with no true destination. It may have crashed into the moon by now, we don't know.
This is my first rocket that i successfully tested without any major issues. Though its controls are a bit wonky, hey, it's my first rocket, i'll get them trimmed out as I make more later on.
-=BASIC ACTIONS=-
Act1 = Activates Main Thruster
Pitch, Yaw, Roll = Earthbound Steering
Act2-4 + Pitch, Roll and Yaw = Spacebound Steering
-=EXTRA NOTES=-
Yeee, I'm back!
This was basically 2-3 months in the making, I've been testing the space mod for the fun of it. I managed to send a 747 to space...in a million pieces, but I got it up there. Then I made this simple rocket that'll reach space, and perfectly steer and move around. I may make even more rockets now that I seem to have this down, maybe multi function rockets at that, but it's a little too early at this point.
The Spacebound steering, I could've put them all into 1 action group, but I came too far to want to screw around with them. So, yea, a lot of AGs occupied for now.
