Never fear, this challenge has not been forgotten... (Potential) RULE CHANGES: >Strict VTOL is no longer a requirement. STOVL or STOL, however, is. >PAC-3 and laser damage is to be nerfed. >Gun damage is to be boosted. If you all don't like these rule changes, they're subject to change anyway. Just tell me And my latest craft, the TALON, is on its way... probably done in 2 weeks or so (life happens). It's pretty innovative arsenal-wise... Btw @Mycroft I'll add you to the OP soon.

Looking great @ZodiusInfuser! Just wondering, is it possible/how would I obtain these beautiful ducted fans? They are simply so awesome that I must utilize them for something, anything.

Interesting concept, would help my Kerbfleet IXS program a lot

That's great! I've been looking for some 3d modelling and texturing guys to help me out with a mod! PM me for details.

Never fear, the GETREKT line of adapters is coming as soon as I have time Anyway, great work! Happy first mod @steedcrugeon! Also, might I recommend a SpaceDock release? Their analytics are pretty good.

What you've done so far looks awesome! BTW I think I could get you the GET-REKT over the weekend. I can help with testing too.

Yeah, check the AHWP Challenge for DL.

Historian. It's wonderful. And the Freedomizer is a bit of a handful. It needs KJR and TCA to fly.

Is this tweakscale-compatible?

If you need help on this, I'd love to lend a hand. I've been playing around with updating SpaceTech's escape pod, but that's not possible due to licensing Also I agree that REKT is the best name for this. "Problems with Rapid Unplanned Disassembly? Get REKT!"

We have beta release! Hooraaay! And finally, after much frustration, the industrial size wafflemakers gridfins work!

That should be its own challenge.

This is why I love the KSP community. KSP: Making Things Fly That Really Shouldn't By Adding Moar BoostersTM Since 2011 Also, the TALON flies! Still working on its handling, but it flies... Also, should the rules be VTOL or STOVL? VTOL would mean that it must be able to hover, but STOVL would mean it just needs some form of downwards thrust.

I mean if I take a modded rover but put stock wheels on it

Indeed it is.

I have screenshots of some of my newer OPT vehicles... Flies like a brick. See AHWP challenge for download. More to come.

As Contest Overlord, I would like to propose this change: Either... + Up heat tolerance by a factor of like 4 for all parts - Nerf the PAC-3 and the ABL System + Boost guns + Boost Countermeasures (electronic or physical) + Boost engines (more thrust, faster craft) I don't think we should remove any weapon, but we should instead balance them.

I'm going to enter this. Also, @Adelaar, can we use mods if we use stock wheels?

Sorry then, we officially run on v. 1.1.3 Also, @SpannerMonkey(smce) @AdelaarGrab the Twenty One Pilots t-shirts, 'cause we're a... Hot Topic! Get it? It's a pun! I'll show myself out

You should always be able to get mods. And you wouldn't be able to enter a missile into the competition. If it fulfills the rules, you can post it as a creative AHWP (non-competition) but if it fulfills competition rules, it's a competition AHWP and may enter in battles. It has to be V/STOL! TRUE Considering... Considering... Would be somewhat boring though But as a hint to what TALON is about, it's an FAV as opposed to my previous ACV

My latest AHWP project is hoping to change that

'Tis true, yes.

What? That's possible? I wouldn't recommend entering a pure stock craft into a BDA competition, but if you have the guts to do it, go right ahead. Don't bring a booster to a missile fight. IDK how we would do competitions with it though.

That's something we're going for. Due to the preliminary nature of the battles I doubt @SpannerMonkey(smce) has any video footage yet. Dear Lord, do we need something stronger than the HyperStrut? I never thought this day would come... I'll keep that in mind for Reforged-- add extra zeroes.

I am initiating Project TALON (AKA the FAV-X Program), or development of my next (and first competition-worthy) AHWP this weekend... I already have some preliminary design ideas to dominate the sky
