The thread where I will post all my designs and progress of my crafts! (With The Help Of Many Mods Of Course) ISE Dauntless [SSTO] Body, & propulsion systems will consist of parts from [Mark IV Spaceplane System] Wings, & lifting surface parts will consist of parts from [B9 Procedural Wings] So far.... Progress Report I Progress Report II

So recently I had a look at the sea dragon designs and realized it is probably the one and only rocket designed to launch directly from the sea without any sort of external launch platform. That makes me wonder, what would space craft designed by an alien race living in a world that has no dry landmass be like? They would need to launch things directly from the water surface. Furthermore, since they are from an aquatic world, it is likely they will also breath in liquid as well, and instead of breathable air tanks, they would need to use water tanks, which add much more mass to their space craft design, and that may drastically change the way they operate them. In short, the question is: What are some possible space craft designs for an aquatic alien race, given: a) their world has no dry landmass b) they breathe liquid What kind of liquid they breath,what kind of anatomy they have, what their culture/society/technology is like, and what the size/composition of their world will be is up to your imagination.
