Cupcake's Dropship Dealership...


Recommended Posts

Heh all,

            I've been working on a new version of my little Squall jet trainer. :)

Through a bit of KSP voodoo I've managed to drastically increase the performance of the design while still keeping the weight down to a hair over 2t.

This new version can super-cruise at over 600m/s (Mach 2) and is capable of circumnavigating Kerbin with ease.

Like the original it's powered by a pair of Juno engines nestled just aft of the cockpit.

It goes without saying that the craft is extremely agile and will have you pulling Gs like a champ! :D Anyone that wants to take her for a spin can grab a pre-release version here:

Enjoy! :)

@Cupcake... I don't if you were rounding, but you said you got 600 m/s when I pushed this barely past 650m/s

Proof with KER readouts and what not.

EDIT: With a bit of power diving, I reached 680m/s

680m/s why that's pretty much 700m/s, right? :wink:

Sure as hell did! Your videos are always make me scream at how damn good you are at KSP.

That miniature aircraft carrier is amazing too. You should put out that craft file as well, it's those sort of things that we're in short supply of too!

I'm Baaaaaaack!

And finally got a computer! 

And soon to get KSP!

And an idea! I designed what is basically a small reaction wheel, an Oscar-b and a juno, of course with intake, an antenna, etc.

good for cheap laythe exploration, or training.

Another little something for us ion engine addicts, Cupcake?

Most certainly! :)

Owl mk2?  quite tiny. not much fuel by the looks of it. any drop tanks? also, I don't see any RTGs on it, surprisingly! and no reaction wheels! are they clipped inside?

Expand  

Not sure of a name yet, hopefully inspiration will strike soon! Not much fuel no, but even with the four radial tanks she still makes over 7k Delta V. The reaction wheel and RTG are nestled in the power pack to help counterbalance the pilot. :wink:

4.9 stars. You lost .1 stars because of no missiles only 1 crew member. Can you build an ion engined 12 kerbal with 7km/s

Expand  

12 Kerbals?! I can't afford that, who's gonna pay their wages?

I did, but then it poofed, if you get my meaning. I got no pictures.

Expand  

Pilot assist seems to function better with the control surfaces disabled. :wink:
