Kingtj44's Jets and Ships

[Kingtj44]

The BlackStar Hypersonic Jet

Stats

Max speed: 2,325 m/s surface speed (No I am not joking)

Service Ceiling: 44,000 m

Fuel time: Approximately 22 minutes of powered flight

Maneuverability: Poor

Stability: Moderate

Crew: One pilot

Takeoff speed: Approximately 125 m/s

Power plant: 3x turbojet engines

Description: This aircraft was made purely for speed. It was built to be stable so that high-speed spin-outs could be avoided, but as a consequence this means maneuverability is horrible. If you want an extremely fast jet, look to the BlackStar. It can easily orbit hop and glide. It has about 300 parts, so expect lag.

Hammer class Battlecruiser Capital Ship

Stats

Weight: Approximately 125 tonnes fully fueled

Armament: 14x computer-guided medium torpedoes

1x computer-guided large long-range missile

Power plant: 6x nuclear rockets

Crew: 5... 3 pilots and 2 operators

Space speed: Slow/medium

Space maneuverability: Slow/medium

Armor/durability: Extremely good

Range: I'm not sure, I have not flown it much. My guess is that it can go to Jool and back fully fueled, perhaps even farther.

Description: A giant, heavy all-metal death machine. I launched this 100% legitimately into space with a rocket with about 550 parts. The ship itself is about 350 parts. Its armor can only be destroyed by larger/faster projectiles. Its armament is great for destroying smaller craft with the torpedoes, and cracking capital ships in half from long ranges with its huge missile. All of its projectiles are computer-guided for individual control and greatly improved accuracy. All projectiles use vectoring engines, so impact paths can be adjusted in-flight. This also means that the ship's broadside does not need to directly face the enemy ship to launch its projectiles because they can seek out their targets. There are no escape pods, so if the ship is going to be decommissioned, its crew must be picked up. In the pictures below, the orange and grey circles on the side of the ship are the torpedoes. The missile is inside the ship and can be seen from the inside shots. It is refuelable and all projectiles are able to be rearmed and replaced in space.

WARNING: Tons of pictures

The K.S.S Primeval Retribution Titan Ship

Stats:

Parts: Approximately 720

Weight: 324 tonnes fully fueled

Armament: 20x computer-guided medium torpedoes

4x computer-guided large long-range missiles

1x fighter (optional)

Crew: 7... 3 Commanders 4 operators.

Power plant: 12x nuclear rockets

Space speed: Slow

Space maneuverability: Slow

Armor/durability: Extremely good

Range: It can easily make it all the way to Jool and back with fuel to spare.

Description: A monster of death. This massive ship is about twice the size of the Hammer class Battlecruiser. Its armament could easily destroy multiple capital ships and smaller crafts, and has room for a fighter within its safe interior. As always, the projectiles are controllable and have vectoring engines for greatly improved accuracy. Its 4 huge long-range missiles ca deliver death fro far away, and defeat any capital ships that attempt to face it. The entire ship's outside is made of structural plates for an epic armor rating which also makes it extremely heavy. It takes the crown as the single largest payload I have legitimately delivered into space, and as the craft with the most parts I have ever constructed. I have not seen too many ships that are larger, and most that are larger tend to be made with lighter but weaker wing connectors.

These are great! That first jet is very fast for one engine though, how does it take off? And how does it do at low alt?

[Kingtj44]

Take offs are a piece of cake, but it actually has 3 turbojets not just 1. It also is pretty stable in low altitudes, but maneuverability is atrocious. No sharp turns or barrel rolls
