Co-21G

[Comrade Jenkens]

The release of the ARM pack has provided me with a chance to upgrade my signature warship the Co-21. I've replaced the mainsails with a pair of KR-1 LFBs which has improved both the efficiency and power of the ships boost mode.

Still no MAC?

Can you SSTO from Kerbin if you refuel on the ground? Just curious.

No. :/ It would bring the part count too high sadly. Also the rocket cannon thingy is much more powerful.

It doesn't have the dV for that. To get a TWR ratio greater than 1 it needs to use the boost setting which lowers the dV too much to attain orbit. The nukes give it plenty of dV but a low TWR.

It can land on Kerbin however as long as the ground is flat.
