@SledDriver sounds nice;)
@corsair013 Thanks. I named it after the original Hyperion: the Titan of light, father of Helios and Selene and Eos in Greek mythology.
Hyperion is the name of a Remote Controlled Aircraft company.
Great aircraft-thing BTW
@FGW2014 'Upvote' to upvote
@SledDriver 'fire' to fire, imma upvote just cause that made me laugh
Lol @harveyrobinson8
it kinda looks like both. its tripppinn me out though@SledDriver @F4f879
@F4f879 I tried all the low quality settings, it looks gray even on lowest quality, but yeah, I think that's what he meant.
It might look black on low quality
@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.
i also don't understand how your planes are so sleek but still have 141702 drag points
i was actually exited because it looked chrome on the picture but it turned out to be black :( still an amazing creation of course. @SledDriver
@KSPFSXandSP Well, it uses jet engines and wings so it can't operate much above 100,000 feet at all.
Can this thing go out of the atmosphere?
