(INTERSTELLAR) Ranger

Description
This is the Ranger featured in the 2014's movie Interstellar. I really love the movie and so I do the ships. So this was a special project for me and I am happy to present it!

With the new visual update the black/white color looks even better and the lighting is much more like in the movie!

The whole model is as accurate as I could do it in means of size, maneuverability and functionality. You will find 4 control seats and two additional passenger seats inside. The door in the back can be opened (in the movie it slides downwards but that is almost impossible to achieve - the simplest method is rotating it upwards). There are 2 connectors - one in the back door and one on the bottom.
You can use this ship for space and planets. In space you can easily fly by using the main reactors. For planet use, you need to switch on the auxiliary systems as well! This will increase the maneuverability on planets and give you enough power to run the atmospheric thrusters.
If you want to leave the atmosphere (or you just need some more thrust) switch on the hydrogen thrusters!

Note: There are no tanks inside due to spacing-reasons. The oxygen and hydrogen comes from an oxygen generator. This ship is not survival ready!

But now: Have fun with this wonderful ship! Save mankind!

The Lander is up!

Yes Sir Captain Chief Master Sir!
There is a polite word if you want someone to do something ;)
But nevermind - the Lander is already in progress. Give me a few days

Do an Endurance and Lander

Update: V1.1 now online! The new Space Engineers visual effects, make it look much more like in the movie (hard shadows, extreme black/white contrast)

See the pictures for a prototype airlock door! Do you like it or not?

Thank you! Stay tuned, the Lander will be my next project ;)

In fact Christopher Nolan describes it in the Making of as a "Ferrari Sportscar" while the Lander is more like a "Big Russian Helicopter" :D
