Description

The planet of Kerbal has united years ago. Nation states still remain but the world needed a new defensive force after discovering hostile life at the edge of our solar system. Although Kerbal is particularly peaceful there needs to be a central overall force that can respond to any threats that may appear.

The KDF (Kerbal Defense Force) will now be our new line that will be heading our defensive force.

First in our new KDF force will be the Air force interceptor K-91 Izanagi

This stealth fighter will have 4 missiles in its weapons bay that can also be fitted with other ordinance .

If you do not want to use as a pure stealth interceptor then use the wings to equip stronger ordinance.

RCS Toggle Cockpit Canopy
ABORT Decouple Canopy for Emergency Escape
AG1 Activate Engines
AG2 Switch Engines
AG3 Toggle Weapon Bay
AG4 Toggle Air Break
AG5 Toggle Wing Ladder

When I started KSP my PC wasn't very powerful and I couldn't afford to add non-functioning parts or it would ruin my frame rate. This got to be a habit and all my craft look very bland and utilitarian even now. I don't understand how people make pretty planes like this.

I love the decouplers as canopy frames, looks so good

I understand how you feel on this. Even with a beefy compuiter I have now I tend to try and keep my part counts low and try and stay in a creative mind set to try and compromise while staying true to what the vision i have is. I try to tend to keep things under 300 parts thinking about the people that play on laptops because that will be like the dead end for most people. Just keep that challenge  in mind and keep a part count in your head so that way your challenging yourself to be creative. You got this

I love the canopy & I am very curious as to how you got the glasseffect, glass-textured fairings? Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you. Also to get this effect you need to either create, (you can download my flag files); a grey background  and name it something. .Png  and set it to around 60 % occupacity. or a little higher. Anything lower than this will cause it to be too transparent.  After this place it in your flags folder. In game once you select your flags you can then right click the flag and select transparency as the color selection and viola! Windows!
