Ideas for stock starship?


Recommended Posts

Any idea how to make some nice wings for a starship with no dlc that still allow for the signature bellyflop.  Currently I have a bunch of air brakes outside the faring (to get the shape right) that look ugly.  I have tried putting elevons sideways, but they don’t move at all.  On the contrary, is there a way to have parts inside fairings still work, so I could clip a ton of stuff in there and have it work?

In my experience of building functional "stock starship" that actually uses MK3 parts rather than fairings I've found the best approach is relying on Breaking Ground's robotic parts for belly flop aerodynamic control. If you don't have access to those parts the next best thing is RCS/Verner spam and minimal flight control surfaces. 

Air-brakes have heating issues making them impractical for handling anything but final decent control.
