Thanks! If you're looking for more entries, I'm working on a pair of VTOL fighters that might be ready before February. I'll post some pics later.

SHUBADUB Here's my submission: Plane one: Smiley Plane Plane two: The "Enough" Maneuverability Fighter The first plane is difficult(but far far from impossible) to shoot down, and can be surprisingly nimble and accurate with its single GAU-8 30mm gun. It makes use of a mixture of heavy and light armor, as well as magnetic locking of the supercooled wings to hold the them in place. It has lost over 30% of its parts in battle yet survived fight another day. However, when it does get shot down, in my testing it was because a bullet phased through its armor to explode the fuel tank or command pod within, which bisects the craft. It is powered by two Wheesley Turbofan engines, one in the back and the other in the front with its thrust reversed. The second plane is a simple yet surprisingly effective design. Coming in at only 18 parts, if damaged it becomes worthless as a fighter, but with the wide vectoring range of the Pather afterburning turbojet engine, it can usually survive the loss of one wing and avoid crash landing. With only a single engine, it is slower than many other planes, but its high lift rating makes the minimum speed lower, which contributes to its low turning circle.

It shouldnt have a gun or ammo on it... I looked at the parts list page on kerbalx (because I was too lazy to open kerbal to see if I had put one on) and there was no ammo or gun on it. The points I listed also had no gun on it. My rational for having so many missiles is that in my testing, it was not possible for anything to dodge aamrams unless the craft was very very small, and then only sometimes. So I had a lot of missiles on a really fast plane that would draw all of the missiles away from the slow to take off Missile and possibly take down one of the two other planes. Then the missile would use its missiles and gun to clean up any small planes that remained. I admit that both could have been done better but I thought this was going to fill up quick and didnt want to be the seventeenth entry...

AWIMBAWE Here is my submission: The Bullet: http://kerbalx.com/marsrocks/MarsRocks---1---The-Bullet 8x AIM120 = 32 4x Chaff = 8 4x Flare =12 TOTAL = 52 The Missile: http://kerbalx.com/marsrocks/MarsRocks---2---The-Missile 1x Vulcan Hidden = 7 1x 20mm Ammo = 4 5x Chaff = 10 3x Flare = 9 2x AIM120 = 8 TOTAL = 38 Grand Total = 90

Hey Scott, A few posts back you requested biplanes with BD armory guns. I have a rather unique one for you. http://kerbalx.com/marsrocks/BIPLANE-II

Can you please post any version of the internal space. I am attempting to create a tardis myself and need an internal space.
