Veto Aerospace 'Sparrow'

[RedDwarfIV]

(Just because I\'ve had two people raging at me the entire evening over my using print screen rather than F1, I\'ve decided to test it to see which I prefer through experience. Therefore, the screenshots will be F1ed.)

The VA Sparrow is a Short/Vertical Take Off & Landing spaceplane, designed solely for military operations. It can be outfitted with railguns or missiles, and it capable of vertical landing with its unusually stable RCS. However, due to high weight, the craft must be slowed to under 12 m/s to prevent impact breakup with standard landing gear. This is achieved by firing the forward-facing retros.

Protip: Use F2

If I\'d wanted to use F2, I would have. Instead, I left the GUI up, and closed the nav-con.

Can we please talk about the spacecraft?

.craft file please?

That looks awesome.

Requires C7 and I think Jellycube\'s weapons pack. The railguns, at least.

Sparrow Grenadier

[RedDwarfIV]

Built the Grenadier variant. Equipped with four independent-launch missiles. They deploy, then fire. However, I\'m thinking of reversing that. I\'ll see if it works better. At the moment they look like guided missiles.
