Space battleship "Porcupine" WITH Secret Weapon

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Here's something new:

The Porcupine uses advanced armor (formed out of structural pylons it has a theoretical 999m/s impact resistance) and I have not been able to destroy it in tests!

6000 m/s Delta-v; Expand your empire to the farthest reaches of the kerbol system!

It has 6 RT-10 missiles arranged in 3 staging groups AND a Secret Weapon; it can decouple all of it's structural pylons to form a cloud of debris.

Haha, nice. Reminds me of how real porcupines can shoot their quills; and they're deadly, like darts! Good job.

Actually, porcupines CAN'T shoot their quills. It's just a myth. They do come off easily, though, so that a porcupine doesn't get stuck to something.

"Porcupines cannot shoot them at predators as once thought, but the quills do detach easily when touched." -National Geographic

Why, thank you for pointing this out.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Thank you; I would be happy to receive feedback as this is the first space battleship I have built, so I have nothing to test it against.

Interesting desgin.

Very unusual use of the ship's hull. I like it!

Thanks for the comments!

I considered adding seperatrons to the structural pylons, but that would have increased the lag even more!
