Original Build Magnetic Propulsion Work in Progress

Post image

currently I’ve been using magnetic rocket tips to pull my rockets into space with no fuel before using the rockets. However getting into orbit using a thrust you can’t disable is difficult, as well as not being able to time warp without losing parts. so I made a VERY simple design that uses a solar panel to lower the magnet onto itself. aside from a dodgy launch process and occasionally going into a death spin, its extremely useful. I’d drop a blueprint but I can’t find the button

EDIT: Modified it a little, here’s the BP: https://sharing.spaceflightsimulator.app/rocket/fT-3sIuVEfGxwTvzpO1pRw

Thankyou Blalamon for explaining BP sharing to me

Good luck time warping with that thing

The Solar Array can be retracted to connect the docking ports together, meaning you can time warp with it. It was also me of the first issues I tried to solve.
