@PorkyClown3 yeah, sorry about that. I seem to have forgotten this challenge.
You never rated mine...
I want to join but can I mod engines and also can it just a the capsule break off for re entry?
Does it need to be able to get to a certain altitude?
I have finished my entry. Fully functional in a vacuum, fits requirements, and looks good in the process. I'll upload a teaser in a few days, then post this weekend.
I want to enter but I can't download planes rn
k im reuploading now
I'm redoing my SSTO if that fine because i found a problem and i wanted to redesign it
@Oski the plane-ish shuttle would be th right thing.
By SSTO you mean space shuttle launched with two rockets, or a plane-ish space shuttle that can take off from runway, head 60* up and reach low orbit?
Oh, my gawd
Oh my. This aligned PERFECTLY with my current project. I'll see if I can build it within the constraints.
@grizzlitn A link is enough.
@FlyingThings
Also my project is ready to be upload it, but only one thing I am not using a cargo bay with this version because I am just reproduce a first test flight of the original rocket.
What altitude is “Space” or are you using a mod?
@grizzlitn do I make successor of this post ?
lets see if I can scavenge up something and equip it on one of my pulse jets
@grizzlitn Good :)
I am in 🙂
@ProKillaV12 that legend also says he did finish it.
Legend has it that FlyingThings still did not finish his description
