This is a stock clone of the Cylon Heavy Raider from the reimagined Battlestar Galactica Series. It’s heavy at 182 Tons, but will manage Orbit and Return to KSC without difficulty. It is difficult to fly in atmosphere as the offset cockpit means it will pull to the right on high G turns. You have 3 large Docking ports. 2 External, one internal. 4 Medium Docking ports, 3 internal, one external. 1 small external docking port. (This should allow you to dock crew containers, equipment, extra fuel tanks etc to allow multi role operations) 4x Aerospikes should allow STOL landings, or VTOL from most moons and solar bodies. To achieve orbit, reach 12,500m altitude, put the nose 20 degrees down and accelerate past 450m/sec, and slowly pull up. You should aim to be accelerating and level no lower than 6,500m. Climb out to orbit. Engines are manual toggle, so throttle completely back when airbreathing mode stops, and apply throttle in stages, so the craft does not flip end over end. Extend out to orbit, and have fun. Action groups are. Toggle Rapiers between open and closed cycle. Toggle Aerospike Engines for landing mode. Toggle Rapiers on and off.

A stock copy of the Pierre Drolet designed Classic Raider from BSG Razor. http://www.pierre-drolet-sci-fi-museum.com/vintage-cylon-raider It's heavy at 72 tons and requires work to achieve orbit, but it will make orbit, and return to KSC just fine. Get to 12k altitude, drop the nose, at 300m/sec approx engage the twitch engines, and once you're past 400m/sec turn them off and climb out. It does wobble heavily when docked, due to the high part count, and the nature of construction, so be advised. If anyone can help cure that with me, feel free to advise! Action groups are as follows. 1. Cycle RAPIERS between closed and open cycle. 2. Toggle RAPIERS on and off 3. Toggle Twitch engines on and off. 4. Toggle Puff engines on and off.
