Space Fighters

[gGATORr]

Hey there friends,

I got the urge to build more space warships, so I did. My goal was to determine if building sleek, good-looking warships was possible with the new Mk3 parts. The results are two warships that are about the size of small cruisers, but look like fighters. I'll let you be the judge on the sleek and good-looking part.

On the left is the Star Angel, and on the right is the Trident.

Star Angel

-part count: 209

-crew: 4

-mass: 86.5 tons

-powerplant: 2 x Rockomax "Mainsail" Liquid Engine & 1 x S3 KS-24x4 Engine Cluster (vertical takeoff/landing)

-Armament: 18 x unguided rockets

Trident

-part count: 252 (308 w/ launch config.)

Below is a video showing the launch procedures and weapons operations of each fighter!

As always, let me know what you think! Enjoy!

[DerpenWolf]

Love the starburst rounds! Very cool idea!

Have you thought of maybe outfitting one of these with BDArmory weapons? I could just imagine the Star Angel's bays opening up to reveal 30 HEKV guided missiles... Maybe for a role play you could disguise it as a freighter and then whoops... It was carrying 10 racks of missiles... Bye bye pirates...

Also, the role play could work with the stock version too. They're amazing just the way they are.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

I love the design, the originality the work. I may have to see if I can make something like it in FAR for my space exploration missions.

That would be cool, but I'm still staying away from mods. (for now)

And I'm glad you like them!

I love the retro-futuristic look of the Star Angel. Very cool.
