This repository contains my KOS scripts for launch, landing and catch of the Starship Expansion Project Mod by Kari107.
All scripts in this repository are designed to be used in real solar system scale with Realism Overhaul and the Ferram Aerospace Research aero revamp.
These scripts are based on my Starship KOS Crafts. I highly recommend using these files unless you know how to replicate all actions groups and adjust part identifiers in the scripts.
You can read more about the development process on my website https://timklenk.de.
Copy the contents of the Script folder into your KSP Ships folder.

I usually start off with the RP-1 installer and add modify my install from there.
- Physics Range Extender
You can use the boot scripts to autoload the scripts from the VAB or load the scripts when ingame.
I have also added a small ScriptSelector script that provides a GUI to run scripts inside the Ships/Scripts directory without entering the correct filepath.
Note: These scripts are not perfect and run much much better with higher FPS. I am not liably for any RUD of your favourite launchsite.
