Private Shuttle B1

Description
A private shuttle that can carry up to 4 astronauts to the space from planet with some resources. It is very cheap and economic. When the hydrogen runs out, you need to drop out the hydrogen tank and thrusters, atmospheric thrusters and landing gears with merge block. That part has got a "find me beacon" and 2 parachutes so it will land softly, then your friends on the ground can grind it or keep for after use.

It has all three types of thrusters so you might need some platinum for ion ones.

---How to use it?---

Fill the oxygen generators with ice. In order to load the oxygen generator next to hydrogen tank, you need to remove one of the small hydrogen thrusters. Replace it after loading the oxy generator with ice.

Put some uranium in reactors and wait for batteries to be charged.

Put canvas component to all three parachute hatches. Two on the hydrogen tank and one on the front/nose.

First, just turn on atmospheric thrusters and lift off. I reccomend to increasing thrust override. When you starting the slow down, turn on hydrogen thrusters but be careful, stick to 95m/s speed so you can be sure you won't waste any hydrogen. When you run out of hydrogen, wait to slow down and immediately trigger the timer block named "Breakoff and turn on ion thrusters" at speed 20m/s to drop out hydrogen tank and go on with ion thrusters, you can connect to any large ship with your connector. The timer block will do all the job, it will turn on the beacon, turn off the merge block and start another timer block on the hydrogen tank, toggles parachute auto deploy etc.

You can watch the back with 3 different cameras and cockpits behind pilot seat with cameras in front of them.

Also the part you will drop has got a sensor and sound block, it will make an alarm sound when it reaches the ground and alarm automatically stops if sensor detects any players nearby.

If you loaded the ship very heavily or playing with 1x inventory capacity, you can remove the black armor blocks behind the main forward ion thrusters and turn them on manually at 5000m heigh, but not with timer block.

I tested it many times in surival mode and fixed all problems, works perfectly well.

nice to see the parachutes being used, gives me some ideas. Also love the design and function, gives it that saturn V vibe from early space days. Good job!
