Star Wars YT-2000 Light Freighter

[GoldSabre]

Greetings! After completing the science tree in career mode, I decided to challenge myself and build something bigger than I had ever built before. I decided to build the Millennium Falcon!

... and shortly thereafter, realized it was too lopsided for me to bother launching. So instead of a YT-1300, I decided on the much more symmetrical YT-2000. If any of you have played Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, you'll be familiar with a ship named the "Otana".

And with its sensor dish exposed:

This project took me around 20 hours total, and featured many unsuccessful launches to get into orbit. Coming in at ~200 tons and ~700 parts, it's definitely my crowning achievement when it comes to cool-looking builds. It has all science modules as of .22, and a total of 12 landing struts so everything might not explode if I try to land. Here's a blueprint-style picture showing different angles of the finished product:

For those of you interested in the inner workings of the YT-2000, here's a look at the skeleton. It has 4 nuclear engines to push it through the solar system, with 75% of an orange tank per engine. It also sports 4 landing thrusters around the center, accommodating my naive hopes at somehow landing a 200 ton ship on a moon (which I have yet to accomplish).

And for those curious as to how I got it into an orbit around Kerbin, this is the 14-mainsail launcher, complete with being three-times as slow when launching; it took me around 20 minutes of real-time (6 minutes mission time) to complete the launch.

You can see 4 landing struts peeking from above the solid rocket boosters here.

Edit 1: Landed on Minimus! Pictures below.

Ah yes, I remember it well... (The ship, and the game.) Great job!

[Varyon]

Oh man, I absolutely want this.

The Otana is my favorite ship to fly in X-Wing Alliance! It has ion cannons, lasers, and TWO turrets! Does anyone still play the multiplayer?

simply wow o.O

Star Wars in KSP at its best!

[GoldSabre]

Someone spurred me on to land this ship, so I attempted Minmus - and survived! It turns out the landing thrusters are next to worthless, but I still made it.

Lightspeed...ish.

Touched down.

Here's Jeb for scale. Good thing he didn't land in the gaping maw of a Space Kraken!

Change the VTOL engines to LV-T45s, they are slightly less efficient, but should allow you to land on any moon (Barring Tylo and Laythe), and maybe Eeloo.
