Okay,
So before I start, I just want to say that Im actually a fairly decent pilot in orbiter. But, after losing an XR5 after reentry in the middle of the Pacific ocean, 1400km from land, and after losing the recovery DGIV due to a silly mistake with the payload doors while trying to drop lifeboats to the stranded crew, it dawned on me that one of the most obvious, and most crucial pieces of a typical manned mission is missing from orbiter. Where are the Recovery Ships?!?! :lol:. Anyways, I would have taken this project up myself, but I am engaged in developing my own addon vessel, and dont really have the modelling skills to make this addon look as good as it should. So, my request is for an experienced modeller (or anyone who is interested really) to create a set of recovery vessels as UCGO cars to make sure those UMMUs dont drown in the middle of the ocean after going to Mars and back. Possible ideas:
-Coast Guard Cutter
-Aircraft Carrier
-Cargo Ship (just passing by maybe )
-Canoe (just for fun)
-Barge (maybe could move parts/cargo/stages; SaturnV was moved this way)
So anyways anyone up for it?
