Another good idea is to add another camera, facing DOWN, directly behind the connector. Reason being, the large base connectors have a small light on either side. If your camera is directly behind the connector, when you're landed, it aims perfectly straight above those lights. Makes for an excellent easy way to line-up for landings at bases or, later in space, with stations or carriers. Also works to a lesser degree if going down a tunnel if you don't want to do it nose first.

You're 100% Correct. I didn't think to mention that.

@@JagoDragon To be fair, I didn't think of it til I'd crashed into the base connector hard enough to scrap metal the ship connector, at least 5 times. Even works on rovers too. Mount the camera below the rover connector, and make sure the base connector has those small lights in the over/under vertical position when building it. You'll connect perfectly evey time unless you've completely maxed your cargo capacity/bottomed the suspension.

@@barricade8957 yeah. I've used that method. I just don't use it often. It's a great idea that I just don't implement even when I should in a lot of cases.

So, not quite enough swoosh in the Blue Swoosh? ha ha I love the design and color of BS, pardon my French.

Thanks for another good tutorial. I'm new to the game and I had no idea that the O2/H2 generator could be hooked up using only one of the single small port connections. I thought that both small ports needed to be connected in order for the thing to work. Just knowing that little fact now really opens up more design choices and layouts for me. Thanks a million. You rock.

Yeah, that's true, and I'm glad it helps you! But, I'm pretty sure all O2 ports are connected... now I have to go check 😆

That's actually a pretty damn nice looking brick ship to be honest. I'd probably add a third battery rather than remove thrusters, so it would have more longevity.

Thanks. I probably won't make any changes though. I'll probably just set some of the thrusters to a separate group "added boost" or something like that.

actually, I could put small batteries behind the swoosh and increase batteries without increasing length... I may do that. Thanks for the idea!

Forgot to add in my prior comment, but also try building the rotor+base connector on a large piston. Then you don't need to 'dig' out blocks below your build. Just raise the piston at the minimal rate (+0.0 actually will get it moving) and stop as needed. Works really well if you give the ship landing gear, as in wheels. Turn on the thrusters, which will keep it stable on the connector, then unlock/unpark it. It will stay on the connector even if technically not attached. Then slowly retract the piston completely until your build settles on its wheels. It technically works for the true magnetic plates & 'footpad' landing gear but there's the problem that if you forget to turn those off prior to activating the piston again, you get a real big boom and a great big mess. Wheels at least means it just gets lifted. This trick also works extremely well if needing to *rapidly* pull a shuttle/fighter/etc inside an armored hangar and lets you close the armored doors very fast. Just...not too fast...or Klang will come visit.

can some1 explain how do you hook a rotor to the ceiling and not get the rotor head falling out? or under something?

You place the rotor and grind down the large grid head. Then you go into the rotors K menu and select "add small head". Then you build of of the new small head.
