My Entry: - Mach 3.124 Super Cruise: +21.24 Points - Mach 4.121 Top Speed: +42.42 Points - TWR += 1: +1 Point - Drop Tank Fuel Capacity = 1732L: +34.64 Points - Sustainable 9G: +5 Points - Super Maneuverability: +10 Points - Super Cruise Range: Stage 2 - 0.50 Hours : +0.5 Points Stage 1 - 2.00 Hours : +2 Points Stage 0 - 2.00 Hours : +2 Points - Base Super Cruise: -1 Point Total : 118 Points I'm not sure where I got so many points, but I'm sure it's totally legit, there is no need to check my score, just post it up and move on. - - - Updated - - - You didn't set the 50% thrust limiter, so your design really has nothing to do with this challenge to begin with. Yea sure 2560L drop tank, if that's not cheating I don't know what is. That supposed super cruise speed is obviously using higher thrust than requirement. You didn't set the limit and it's past 16.7%. I thought this section would be fun. Instead I just see moderators helping everyone to bend the rules and outright cheat.

Ok, so I'll submit my own entry super cruising at 12,500 m and I hope you'll accept that as well? Good, I was having some trouble with drag at 10,000. Nice to have a 60% reduction there. It's nothing personal, I've never even heard of him. But hey if the mod says 60% advantage is fair in a challenge, I'll just do it that way myself.

Super cruise is defined at 10,000m not 12,500 meters. your altitude gives you 60% less atmosphere and therefore less drag, better fuel economy. Nice try.

I just don't like seeing people cheating in any challenge.

Are you seriously trying to deal with reentry heat by putting radiators on your ships?

You have 117kn of drag with only 74kn of thrust, you're not even close to cruising with that. The scoring is based on math there is no room to argue, you simply did your math wrong.

You mean your total is 48 points? NOT 137? Also I see no evidence that your plane is capable of a 2:35min super cruise. From the screenshot you have posted it looks more like 1:40. In fact I don't see a super cruise screenshot at all, the only "cruise" screenshot you have shwon, shows a drag value higher than your thrust so it's not actually cruising it's slowing down.

Any limitations on part clipping?
