Kerbal Dynamics SHORAD: Short Range Air/Ground Defence System

[ihtoit]

Oerlikon Contraves, the smallest Kerbal defence contractor currently assigned by the Government, have come up with a novel missile system that requires nothing more than a launch platform to bring reality to the dream of pinpoint deployment, surgical accuracy and total destruction.

THE CHALLENGE:

Using the provided (STOCK) .craft file (place it into your "subassemblies" folder), build a land, sea, air or space-based mobile delivery system.

THE RULES (subject to revision):

- ANY structural part allowed, HOWEVER:

- NO exploits, hyperedit, infiniglide, infinite fuel, or any other method of cheating known or unknown.

- Launch platform *must* consist of at least one copy of the provided .craft file attached to your vehicle.

- Land and sea based launchers *must* show weapon delivery outside of the main KSC complex at a designated target at least 1km away (standing ballistic range on the missile is about 4.5km).

- Air based launchers *must* show weapon delivery on the Island complex *from the air*.

- Space-based launchers *must* show weapon delivery at a designated target in space or on the surface *from orbit*.

- Launch platform *must* carry at least one Kerbal.

- Launch platform *must* return to KSC (or the shore, in the case of a sea platform), after delivery.

- Your Kerbal MUST survive.

SCORING:

5 points for each missile carried (you will score a minimum of 30 points).

1 point for each missile deployed.

10 points for a direct hit on your designated target

PROOF:

Gunstar, carries 48 missiles in 8 racks, can go pretty much anywhere in the Kerbol system. Crew of 3:

Missile in terminal freefall:

(it and 15 of its buddies had been fired at KSC2, all missed by a hair)

LEADERBOARD:

1. ihtoit in the Gunstar Orbital and Atmospheric Missile Platform, 48 missiles, no on-target deployments but shown orbiting Mun: 240 proof carried, +24 for proof fired, total: 264

did I mention the Gunstar is an SSTO VTOL with the ability to refuel?
