CH Eagle D 38.4 Tons to LKO

[BSR]

SIK Aviation proudly presents the new SSTO CargoHauler Eagle.

Featuring 4 Mk2 Rapiers( 4 pairs clipped) and Massive Air Intakes with variable Intake Geometry and PreCooler Chambers the CH Eagle can Airhog like there is no Tomorrow.

A massive Third of the 369 Parts is Air Intakes and another third is Struts. The Reason for the Intake Spam is that once I finished the Frame i didn´t want to change it anymore. So I had to use other means to get it into Orbit.

Persoally I really like how the massive Intake Arrays turned out but judge for yourself.

Please don´t go and start flaming about the Intake spam.

The game really needs much better Intake options anyway. I spam them horribly myself. Cool plane.

I like your grappler Craft. However I notice it has eight batteries and a few tiny solar panes. I personally find that one generator and 0 batteries works great for grapplers. (I find around 0.66 Generators per SAS module is typically sufficient for grapplers)

Thanks for the Feedback. The Batteries were chosen due to aesthetic reasons not performance.

Well you succeeded. They do look great.

I built an assembler practically identical to this one, the differences being two more SAS modules sandwiching the okto, 12 of the large bubble tanks of monoprop, five sets of four thrusters, and two generators. It was strong enough to manhandle whole cruisers like they were small parts - it was great.

Actually I managed to find an old pic that features it (along with two of my all-time biggest cruisers)
