KerbalX ate my description... Alan Aerospace Recycling and Packaging is somewhat pleased to present its first drone aircraft. The Angry Gnat! It's slow. It doesn't climb very fast. It has minimal missile defenses. However it does turn smartly and it's packing twin Vulcan cannons. A development version with full fuel tanks, only two engines and less aggressive AI and control settings managed to shoot down a Falken at long range. Granted, the Falken was busy chasing a Cranky Delta... The revision on KerbalX stripped a Cranky Delta nearly to a bare fuselage in a head-on attack. Be wary of going face to face with the Angry Gnat, for it is a small target and your poor Kerbal is sitting in a much larger target. The best treatment for this drone is a few missiles fired from *way over there*. If there was a BDArmory radome for Mark 0 size I'd be tempted to mount an AIM-20 on it somehow. screenshot13 by g_alan_e, on Flickr https://kerbalx.com/Galane/Angry-Gnat

The Viper from Battlestar Galactica, in its many forms, seems to be a popular KSP project. Mine is inspired by the original, and it's ready to do battle. The only way I could get the wings and fin to look right was to use B9 Procedural Wings. Never have used them before. Still had to stick on some stock parts to properly position the guns. Ammo boxes are stuck to the back wall of the cockpit, inside the structural fuselage. Pop the nosecone off the back for access. For atmosphere use only! Despite its takeoff weight, three Panthers have it in the air fast. Impressively maneuverable despite not using canards. Tends to be a bit fragile when hit by proximity missile detonations. screenshot14 by g_alan_e, on Flickr https://kerbalx.com/Galane/Viperish

Inter's Bombing Challenge This challenge is now live! There is no definitive end date and there is no scoring/ranking system, so feel free to give it a whack whenever you feel up to this type of challenge. The general idea of the challenge is to use the BDArmory mod weaponry to attack ground targets at designated locations in an assortment of nine scenarios. Most targets are weapon systems that will shoot back at you, hence the challenge. --Rules-- The rules are very extensive and far too verbose for me to put into this post. Please follow these links to the videos I have made which cover all of the rules. You will need to abide by all of them or else risk being disqualified. Furthermore, the files you will need in order to play this challenge are listed as links in these videos' Descriptions. Rule set #1 "How to Play" https://youtu.be/yUua-qlN4yE Rule set #2 "Rules of Engagement" https://youtu.be/iwgPj3oAzTE Rule set #3 "Intelligence Brief" <https://youtu.be/6IqNV0inBrQ --Winners-- Since there will be no "first place" or "best contestant", what we are instead competing for is Bragging Rights! The following is a list of some of the bragging rights I conceived off the top of my head. I hope this thread's discussion will see additional bragging rights proposed and competed for! fastest aircraft slowest aircraft lightest aircraft heaviest aircraft longest fuel range least amount of fuel spent biggest payload space most munitions carried cheapest armament all guns, baby! strafing attacks only! most received damage without dying ghost assassin (no retaliation) precision strikes carpet bombing longest kill closest kill fastest mission time fewest munitions spent most unlikely-to-succeed craft torpedo Deep Sixer award wingman mastermind brutality / overkill missile dodging exemplary jamming & countermeasures night mode (do the attempts at night) --Conduct-- I hope I don't need to state the obvious but please be polite, be open-minded, be encouraging, be enthusiastic, and do not cheat. Unpleasant people will not be welcome to have a voice in this thread. Thank you.
