Elite: Dangerous Ship Look-Alike Challenge!

[AccidentsHappen]

So. I was playing some Elite: Dangerous recently and realised how much I would like to have the freedom to fly some of the ships in Kerbal Space Program. Since I'm pretty much the worst at creating nice-looking crafts, I've decided to run a little competition that will test the building abilities of this amazing community.

The rules are simple.

• Create a craft that looks like a ship featured in Elite: Dangerous!
• The craft should be able to fly; extra points for VTOL, well positioned RCS, etc.
• Part clipping is allowed (I wouldn't know what to do without it!)
• Some mods are allowed (Check mod list), although if you feel like another one should be permitted, please tell me!
• I will rate ships off design, efficiency, practicality, usability and consistency with the Elite: Dangerous ship the craft is based off.
• There will be a leaderboard with the top 3 designs for both stock and modded crafts, as well as honourable mentions.
• Infinite fuel IS allowed, but you will likely be rated higher if you don't.

 

Elite: Dangerous Ship Examples:

 

• Adder
• Anaconda
• Asp Explorer
• Asp Scout
• Cobra MkIII
• Cobra MkIV
• Diamondback Explorer
• Diamondback Scout
• Eagle
• Federal Assault Ship
• Federal Corvette
• Federal Dropship
• Federal Gunship
• Fer-de-Lance
• Hauler
• Imperial Clipper
• Imperial Courier
• Imperial Cutter
• Imperial Eagle
• Keelback
• Orca
• Python
• Sidewinder MkI
• Type-6 Transporter
• Type-7 Transporter
• Type-9 Heavy
• Viper MkIII
• Viper MkIV
• Vulture

I did a stock replica of the anaconda look bit weird but I can't do better in stock

Does make it to space with infinite fuel only but you can have problem in atmosphere only hack gravity for 10 000m and it should be ok

I made a stock recreation of the Diamondback Explorer, made by Lakon ships in Elite. It does fly, though its like you strapped a paper airplane and fireworks to a brick (Barely picks up)

Fully stock, kerbalx's craft preview proves that. You don't need infinite fuel to fly. For cosmetic reasons, it is not able to go into space (needs air), but you could replace the engines, and then it would.

This ship also works as a submarine! Also turn off steering on the wheels

 

 After I made this, I looked at Mordecai_Ender, sees that it is so much more simplistic, and realized how giant mine is. Good work though, CMDR. o7
