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 the small loan of
19,832,653.99¢
Tydos Shipyards™ can provide the means for you to go to be part of the Final Frontier
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.

@CaptainSavannah oh ok thanks for letting us know... Also i think the right tail fin is slightly longer than the left one so if you can check that out it'd be great. I'm bringing this to your attention because at high speeds/ re entry it heavily rolls twards the right side even though I can line up the ship perfectly...

@Itsyasboisausage possibly, but I'm gunna give this some time as I'm planning variants, other people are more than welcome to modify and upload it and I'll add them to the forum post ^~^

Also the Internal payload can be jettisoned, the piston for the docking system isn't my speciality and it wouldn't zero properly so I just throw it out after use using the docking port its attached to (reeeee space junk)

Hackiness: Extracted screenshots, edited using external program, rename edited photo to the same name as original file, overwrite and then upload ^~^

@AstronautPlanes Thank you and it's very much appreciated ^~^ had to work a bit of hackiness to make the Preview Photos the way they are

Flying on Luna
This handles exceptionally well with the new Vertical Thrust System, if you boost up using this to about 200m, engage the main engines to gain about 150ms, shut the main engines down and then follow prograde with only the Atmospheric Control and Vertical Thrust system still enabled at 50% you can maintain perfect flight and roll as if the wings had lift, inverting goes down etc, this was an intentional design feature as I hate Newtonian Physics for getting scenic screenshots and makes for an extremely pleasant and somewhat thrilling experience as you can fly extremely low into craters and roll out of them like there's an atmosphere ^~^
Increasing thrust allows you to pull away and ascend to orbit like you're using a spaceplane
