    @corsair013 Thanks. I named it after the original Hyperion: the Titan of light, father of Helios and Selene and Eos in Greek mythology.

    @F4f879 I tried all the low quality settings, it looks gray even on lowest quality, but yeah, I think that's what he meant.

    @harveyrobinson8 What do you mean it turned out to be black? It's supposed to have a pearly metallic sheen, like bead-blasted aluminum.

    @harveyrobinson8 If you think 141702 points is high, see my HoverCannon II - it has over 1.1 million drag points. Drag is a function of cross-sectional area, so the fuselage-block construction method takes a heavy toll.

    @KSPFSXandSP Well, it uses jet engines and wings so it can't operate much above 100,000 feet at all.
