StationUCGO -- a generic vessel module to add UMMU and UCGO support to orbital stations. I wanted a way to make use of UMMU and UCGO with my custom-built station, so I started work on it. It didn't take long to realize that I could probably make the module pretty generic so that's what I tried to do.
What it does: By adding a couple of lines to the vessel configuration file for your stations, you get UMMU and UCGO functionality complete with airlocks, action areas, and selectable cargo bays.
All the functionality is there, but I'm sure there are some features that others would like to see added so I thought I'd open it up for comment before going to the hangar with it. Also note that since this is really more a request for comment, that documentation is minimal and focuses more on the configuration files than anything.
Note, this is designed for stations primarily, so no effort is expended to add thrusters to vessels, and the default HUD is disabled for visual clarity. You still have the main default MFD spots though.
I've provided a couple of example scenarios. One uses the default Wheel station that comes with orbiter, the other uses Greg Burch's building blocks 4.1 and the DG-IV2. However, you should be able to use this module with any station that does not have its own dll.
Try it out if you like and let me know what needs to be added/removed/fixed. Thanks and happy station building.
