Optimal intake layout for SSTO/SpacePlanes?

[GoSlash27]

panzer1b,

Actually, scratch that.

I'll leave this challenge for somebody else to complete. I feel no need to prove my knowledge of KSP aerodynamics to you by improving your craft for you. It's a fine looking craft, but it must be heavily clipped together and could prove more of a headache to play with than I want.

You are, of course, free to take or leave my advice as you see fit. If it's working fine as-is, you're probably better off not mucking around with it.

*edit* My post upstream was erroneous. You need 2 intakes per engine for a total of 6. That's adequate to keep your engines lit high enough for terminal velocity to exceed your speed limit.

Best,

I will never get used to the intake spam of stock. It just doesn't make sense to me. But hey I guess it works. I use, most of the time 1 intake per air breathing engine, more than that it is just extra drag. But I cheat and I run a non-soupo'sphere FAR install.
