TYDOS SHIPYARDS™
MKII EXPLORER
Intro
The Tydos Shipyards™ MKII Explorer is a step up from the original, which was a revolution in affordable Space Travel during the 23rd century. Using cutting edged patented advances in Kerolox refinement and usage we have produced a craft capable of outputting way over 20Km/s of DeltaV.
Control
Using Tydos Shipyards™ state of the art Aerodyne Control Module this vessel performs exceedingly well in a vacuum as well as in a planets atmosphere. When atmospheric control is enabled, the internal gyroscope and thrust vectoring allows incredibly High-G manoeuvres. Newly refined Orbital RCS provides orientation changes in a Zero-G environment.
Handling
Vertical Thrust systems have been added for VTOL off of small Moons and also to assist in altitude control during tight manoeuvres close to the surface. Additional fins have been added around the fuselage in places to induce aerodynamic stability and honestly this handles the transition between orbit and atmosphere surprisingly well as a result.
Modules
The MKII Explorer comes standard with a small Cargo Bay to provide internal storage capabilities for munitio-... Cargo, definitely meant cargo. Additionally, an internal docking port allows coupling for docking and refueling along with Eva access during flight. Power generation is achieved with 4 radial Solar Arrays on the back. (Docking is a bit glitchy but remove it if it agitates you/explode it in flight as the parts don't collide and won't destroy the rest of the craft)
Summary
Whether it's exploring the outer edges of the Solar System, running cargo between stations or even flying between airports on the same planet, the MKII Explorer has you covered. For just -19,832,653.99¢- Tydos Shipyards™ can provide the means for -you- to go to be part of the Final Frontier

Control Module
The Tydos Shipyards™ MKII Aerodyne Control Module is an upgrade of a long standing reliable workhorse of a cockpit. With built in now improved frontal RCS, and retrograde reaction control along with built in Gyroscopic function, this is a solid and dependable Command and Control solution. The bottom has a functional heatshield for atmospheric re-entry along with tanks for integrated Monopropellant and Battery storage provided in this lightweight package.

Notes
This refit and expansion fixes the autopilot issues and MultiDirectional RCS problems. But, as a result the cockpit has been reassigned as a 'Rocket', try not to use the NavSphere to navigate in atmosphere, a manual ascent to orbit is advised or using the Pitch control slider. The Vertical Thrust system makes getting off the runway easier on Droo but is primarily used to avoid planetary surfaces in a Zero-G environment.
