Idea Retro-futuristic spacecraft

[willy88]

From what I've seen, there seems to be a lack of detailed (panels/systems, etc.) retro-futuristic spacecraft. Spaceplanes seem to be the most detailed 'types' of spacecraft in Orbiter, with the likes of the DGIV, XR1/2/5, DGEX, and all the rest.

What I'm proposing is a set of retro-futuristic (but not entirely) spacecraft (and bases/other supporting things), each with its own systems and UMMU/UCGO compatibility.

Since I'm not very skilled in the dark art of add-on making, I've attached an assemblage of images that might, uh, get the creative juices flowing...

The "Moonicycle" looks cool, but I wonder how it stays upright?

Gyroscopes, I'd imagine.

To quote Colonel O'Neil "Magnets...?"

I think, the "Moonicycle" will be build first :lol:

 

[willy88]

Hmm, does anyone know if UCGO could be used to build a "moonicycle"? Anyone care to try?

Haha I like the Moonicycle. If Orbiter could simulate gyroscopic corrections...

It may be just "a car with a single wheel"...
