MSI Courier (Elite: Dangerous Imperial Courier 'sort-of replica')

[RogueMason]

At the request of a fellow forum-goer, I'm making this available for download

The MSI Courier; totally not ripped from some space sim the techies were playing in their break...

Note that these pictures are from before some very slight tweaks; it looks and performs slightly better now. It is meant as just a replica, though it should be decently capable once put into orbit, given that it has both nuclear and ion engines.

It's not an SSTO, sadly, so it's launched from the VAB. Keep it steady on ascent and you should be fine.

The action groups are listed in the craft description, so study 'em carefully

Download (VAB, not SPH)

Required mods:

Heat Control

Surface Lights

Obviously based on the Imperial Courier from Elite: Dangerous (well, I suppose it isn't really obvious if you've never played ED...).

Any problems, just ask

Geeez ... They've completely changed the appearance of the Courier compared with Elite 2: Frontier.

Good job though.

[RogueMason]

Yeah, some people had been complaining about that over on the Frontier forums, especially given the dramatic reduction in size that the new ship has had. Personally, I prefer the new version, but to each their own

With me ... I first played with the Imperial Courier at the age of 19. I'm 38 now. That new thing doesn't have the balls nor the looks, from no possible angle.
