Bigger Plane Wings


Recommended Posts

The big deltas are too small for anything but the smallest of Mk3 ships; they'll do okay for a 20-40 capacity crew shuttle or a cargo lifter for small-but-awkward payloads, but nothing really substantial. The big swept wings do fine for most larger ships (ISRU-carrying grand tourers, heavy tankers and space station lifters), but takeoff speeds get a bit ridiculous at the heavier end of the scale.

The problem is the lack of variety. Everything built with the deltas looks Shuttle-ish (unless you mid-mount them, which gives you something like a stumpy dolphin...), everything built with the swept wings is C-17 or 747-ish. Modular wings definitely required.
