The AstroLabs R-710 is a domestic orbital shuttle used to transport cargo and passengers to and from orbit. Its ion hyperdrives allow it to reach orbit with minimum fuel consumption and its nanoweave thermal-ceramic armor allows it to reenter a planet multiple times without taking any significant damage. Its only drawback is its slow acceleration and deceleration.

Well... It almost looked like this @Ephwurd . link to wikia: http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/Arkbird
@JetFighter I have seen a few planes from Ace Combat (Fenrir, Morgan, CFA-44, Gliepnir), but I haven't played those games yet. I have heard of the Arkbird but I haven't seen it yet.
Looks like the Arkbird from Ace Combat 5...
@Ephwurd oh right! The future of airplanes.
@LAGDragon well this shuttle is made to be flown on a daily basis, kind of like an airplane.
@Ephwurd I Think so, they have to be capable of a really fast stop. They also have parachutes. That is what I think and know, but I have not studied NASA's shuttle program enough to find out.
Ookay then, prep for it ok? @Ephwurd
@JoddyFubuki788 I do not know... we can start this in a week or two
@JoddyFubuki788 yea
anyway thanks :D i know it's name now XD
@Ephwurd yea i am not a huge fan of Avatar , just saw the movie one year ago or something
So how? How could we could handle it? @Ephwurd
@LAGDragon do space shuttles have airbrakes? Thanks though! And yes, it is modded (engines, fuel and scale)
Is it Modded? I think it is, and it's really well done, the look futuristic and aerodynamic. It goes fast. All it needs is airbrakes
@JoddyFubuki788 mass scaling messes with infinite fuel, they don't go well together
@FennVectorCWA that one was fatter though and had a flat nose
My plane was about 20,000kg, so i think we can by zeroing the mass scales on some vital points. @Ephwurd
You mean Valkyrie obrital shuttle? @FennVectorCWA
remembers me of the shuttle they used in Avatar ( to bomb the soul Tree)
@JoddyFubuki788 less than 20k? I don't know about that
And here's the catch, we'll use FA-40I as base for the upgrade @Ephwurd
@Ephwurd np
In this condition: Lightweight (less than 20k) but really agile and stable... fast, but not wobbly, capable of bring something heavy @Ephwurd
Wanna start it now? @Ephwurd
@MAHADI thanks!
@JoddyFubuki788 when do we start?
