The W.A.T.F. (STOCK)

[__Ultimatum]

The mighty W.A.T.F. (Meaning unknown, open to suggestions) is the largest shuttle I've ever built. It currently has a cargo capacity of 0 tons, because I designed it without cargo bays. (Will be added some time in the future) It has a grand total of 22 vector engines, but it still has a low thrust to weight ratio. (Due to a slight miscalculation of me using the vacuum thrust instead of the ASL.) 

It is capable to making it to orbit and landing, but re entry is very shaky. I have never landed it on the runway (because I'm terrible at runway landings), however, landed in water up to 60 meters a second with only minor damage.

Will post craft file and cargo version soon.

-EDIT #1-

The cargo version flies very well on its own.

That's pretty slick, my dude. Love the lines, and that tail looks really unique! Can we get some closer pictures of the craft?

Sure!

(These will be of the cargo bay version)

I really like the design! Keep up the good work!

Perhaps I'll make a shuttle design for my He969 lifter! If I do, it will be inspired by this craft.

Also be careful, the engine nacelles have a habit of spontaneous destination.

Hmm... I wonder if there's a way to make the launch stack more efficient. Ya got a lot of engines on the bottom there. You could probably switch those out for mainsails and SRBs. Might be cheaper/more efficient.

Nah, the thing is so large SRBs will only make a small difference and decoupling them would also be a pain. This thing isn't really about efficency anyways.
