Joshmo United Aerospace presents: The new and improved SuperNova

[Joshmo]

Announcing the new and improved SuperNova Long Range Multiple-Configuration Weapons Platform! Complete with redesigned Harbinger fuel/air bombs.

The SuperNova H4 (LRMCWP) Has been redesigned and re-balanced to reduce weight and improve handling. (If it can indeed be called handling)

The Missiles are fired in pairs for balancing purposes, but can easily be reconfigured for single fire, if more targets need obliterating.

And introducing the Roadrunner Escape Craft, because we listened when you said: 'but Joshmo, what happens when I am out

of bombs, and am flying giant dart board through unfriendly airspace? Not everyone has enough pilots for each mission to be a kerbalkaze run!

Interestingly enough, the roadrunner was invented by one of our test pilots who tried to engage in a medium-speed turn, resulting in the pontoons being forcibly torn asunder. He was quoted after an unexpectedly safe landing as stating that 'it flew better than anything we ever built on purpose.'

When all ordinance is expended, simply jettison the pontoons and be on your merry way. Shortly after the first test flight, it was pointed out what a 'kuf you' it was to not only burn your enemies alive, (as well as their women and children,) but to also drop several tons of burning wreckage upon them as you speed off comfortably strapped into your seat, (which is stuffed with the down of a thousand baby eagles).

And home before dinner.

For those who do not know: in order for the Bombs to activate on release, the following line needs to be added to the

end of the .cfg file for the stock solid booster:

ActivatesEvenIfDisconnected = True

And before you ask, the Roadrunner looks great with a Harbinger strapped to its ass, but we were unable to get it off the pad.

Oh god, its like flying an oragami rice paper airplane...

How fast can it go before it rips itself apart? I can imagine one small projectile and the entire thing crushes itself in mid-flight... kerbal indeed..

It gets pretty unstable above 200 m/s

It gets pretty unstable above 200 m/s

Aw man... I was expecting around 700 m/s for such a unique design.

[Joshmo]

Correction, my apologies for the incomplete performance report. It flies like a brick at low altitude, but once you hit 10,000 m or so, as long as you don\'t go too high, it\'s like a giant surf board.

Those missiles are nice, I approve!

Those missiles are nice, I approve!

Thanks. I have been trying to put them on everything. My next task is to actually model some for optimum weight/performance. You never know when we will need some heavy ordinance.
