Kuu Lightwing

Everyone including NovaSilisko... I've seen him bashing his own parts on Reddit once...

Who cares about all that serious stuff? We got a GE-90! I have no bleedin' idea what to do with it, but it is awesome! Actually, seriously what useful could I build with GE-90? We don't even have wings big enough that would look good with those.

Also keep in mind that there are some parts in development, so we didn't see all of them.

I agree. It feels too bulky for a fighter cockpit. The more fighter-ish look would have the inline cockpit with NCS adapter and small nosecone - - - Updated - - - Still, why would I use it? Building passenger planes with 1.25m parts doesn't actually achieve anything in the game.

Okay, now why would you use the new one?

How often the durability of an Mk I cockpit really matters? Unless you actually want to make it so bad it doesn't survive reentry?

So, why use the other one then?

I like the new one, and while I understand that some people want the old one back, I think having two identical cockpits (stat-wise) is redundant. They already redesigned the inline one, and I think they just would do the same with this one.

Which is a good thing.

Maybe kerbals just want to see what happens if you deploy them at hypersonic speed

I've got no bleedin' idea where the arch is... I think I saw it once from the orbit of my Mun Research Station, but that's it. That, and I never practiced low altitude orbits at the mun. Doesn't seem to be particularly hard, but I can see things going wrong...

Well, you're probably more experienced than me. I only landed on Tylo once (with 300 ore from Eve, but that's another story) and craft wasn't designed to return (it was unmanned, so that's fine.)

Hmm, I would probably need multiple NERVAs if I actually have to bring a kerbal with me and back... building a NERVA craft with 6,000m/s of dV is not hard, the problem is to deliver those 3,000m/s fast enough... And have Tylo TWR at least 1.5 at the landing... I think I might try it...

So, they decided to not add it to the stock? That's sad

is it a challenge? Do I need to use NERVA for landing or I need to just land it there?

And spaceplanes! And I need more and even bigger spaceplane parts!

The thing is that there's not that much use for atmospheric-only aircraft. And both learjet engine and bigass turbofan fit only atmospheric aircraft. Yes, it's cool for laythe or some fun stuff on Kerbin, but they won't help you to get stuff in space, and that's why I want larger supersonic engines. I dunno, even the image of four RAPIERs on a 4-coupler makes me cringe. They just look bad.

Yeah, kinda. Darn, I actually forgot how cute can they be...

Yep, a bigass turbofan. Still would like something big for spaceplanes, too, because turbofan is a subsonic engine.

Heh, yep, that's an old MLP meme. I do that too sometimes, usually if I have engine nacelles embedded in wings.

What? A big NERVA? SQUAD, plz...

that is not a jet engine, is it? Also, I don't think Mk2 part fits Mk3 SSTO well.

for large SSTOs to avoid spamming RAPIERs or Whiplashes in unhealthy quantities

Is it SOFIA? She's got a NASA cutiemark logo at the fin...
