Thyre Aerospace F-1 Test

Thyre Aerospace F-1 Test

Take Off Thrust : 2550

Engines : 11 LV-T30 & 2 LV-T45

Born to help in development for the twin flagships for various nations, Thyre Aerospace needed to learn more about the leaps and bounds needed by these rockets, and thus the F-1 was born. With problems with thrust, we mended it with one of jeb\'s suggestions, More Boosters. After the addition of 8 more engines, the spaceplane made it into space. Landing is still a pain, so we are fixing that now.

That\'s... huge.

That\'s... huge.

Ill take that as a good thing, as thats what I was trying to design.

[Panichio]

Very nice! I should start making my own \'massive plane\' or some sort of flagship now.

[Guest GroundHOG-2010]

This a first one in my F-X series.

Does that mean I have to consider the Falcon-42AR as a flagship?

Everyone\'s scales are so radically different... its driving me nuts..

I have no idea. I am building bigger ones, This was just a test.

[Tim_Barrett]

I\'m working on a simple 'Level' system for flagships based on size compared to the launch tower, so the are comparable to others (for roleplay sense)

x1 the tower = Level 1

x2 the tower = Level 2

x3 the tower = Level 3

And so on. That means the Falcon-42AR would be a Level 1 flagship:

The X-42 a Level (almost I think) 2 flagship:

And the Forseti-1 Prototype Super Flagship a Level 3 flagship:

I\'ll post a full version of this on the flagship topic in the RP section soon.

I dont think you are quite getting the idea of a flagship right, a flagship is just the name put to the ship in a fleet that is the command ship that the commanding officer of the fleet resides in. Yeah, it is usually the biggest and most heavily armed ship, but it doesn\'t need to be, it just needs to be impressive in some way. I know when you think of a sci fi space type flagship it is a huge thing that dwarfs all surrounding ships, but personally, I think quite often a smaller quicker flagship would be better.

Just remember, the ship will be part of its own class, (dreadnought, destroyer, carrier etc) but also be a flagship for the fleet. Flagship is not a class

As in flagship, I mean kind of an orbital gigantic mothership, deploying space fighters and carrying huge payloads. But I understand your arguement.

Levels, not classes. Levels simply determine size, which will eventually be intergrated into weapon power/storage, because its like godmode when you attach a hundred of railguns to a ten meter tall ship. Where is this power coming from?

That explosion would be painfully expensive...
