hey guys, just letting you all know my 2nd addon is well underway!

its called thor and what i have so far is to be carried atop a rocket (ala multistage2) called the hammer.

for the launch thor will be inside a fairing with windows to see through for a controlled accent (and to admire the view) once in orbit/sub orbit the fairing is blown off and thor is disconnected from its moorings. it is designed as a small orbital craft for LEO or for sub orbital jumps.

im planning to make thor's 2 engines quite powerful but VERY fuel hungry so you'll have to get your de-orbit burn correct or face the consequences!

if your de-orbit burn is right on the money then you can glide in for a soft landing on its shock absorbing skids.

ive put a few pics in of what i have of thor at the moment, if you have any comments or critisisms, feel free to say.

With it's gear it could be a good vessel to bring important supplys to a polar base. The idea of the fairing with windows seems to be cool. I really like this type of ship. How many stages has the rocket?

Looks very Gerry Anderson'ish.
