Does the weapon system work? have you tested it?

Regarding the interplanetary problem of yours Arctic, Maybe you can attempt make a frame out of girders with rockets on that you can dock and attach on the Upper and Lower part of the ship with two docking ports on each side? Would just require that you add docking ports on the top and bottom of the ship and then send up the interplanetary rocket part for docking.

Careful placement and sometimes using girders to give you more space between objects. Using shift + A,S,D,Q,W,E for fine adjusting also helps a lot.

Oh nice idea, maybe a mix of it all? Luckily the Turtle is outfitted with emergency precautions like the ejection of the outer shell. The ''wings'' can also be ejected in case they have been damaged and hinders flight. There is two emergency 24-77 engines on the back of the main hull that can be used for escape. the ships cockpit is outfitted with parachutes and decouplers so it can do an emergency escape landing.

My head canon regarding how he can even see is that there is cameras and sensors around the ship that forms some sort of holographic window inside the cockpit. sort of like what they do in the Gundam series.

Well if the pilot DOES need to be replaced or something, the drone on the back of the ship can always be used to take off the upper shell allowing a replacement pilot to get in. The good thing about the outer shell is that it can easily be replaced and taken off. in case the shell has been so damaged that it is being a hindrance or you need to protect some other ships behind the turtle or just need a speed boost to escape, pressing abort will eject the shell and turn it into two floating shield like structures.

You need to tip him off early, else he may not notice XD

Those missiles are mean as hell. It might even be able to penetrate the Riki Tech Turtle's armor.

Yes, i just finished the launch stage for the Turtle. Although it is a very fragile and ridiculous launch stage. It does provide the Turtle with a temporary interplanetary set of engines that can be refueled. As proof of my statements: http://s1002.photobucket.com/user/Rikimaru_Tsuki/library/Riki%20Tech%20KSP%20Ships Note: There is a high chance the thing will wobble out of control if you do not press 0 to lock some of the gimbals. going too fast will most likely break it, so flying at half speed until the interplanetary stage is recommended. I do not really wish to flood this place with too many large sized pictures. It is still undergoing tests and improvements and will therefore not be available as of now.

Okay Riki Tech, working on a series of spacecrafts for my Hardshell ship pack Currently the RT Turtle is undergoing weapons testing and still needs a launch stage. while the RT Caddisfly is still under construction. Riki Tech Hardshell Turtle With and without the outer shell 353 parts currently where around 50 of them is due to the brunch torpedoes. Currently armed with 2 Tsuki rockets and 6 Brunch torpedoes. Still testing and improving
