@KerlonceauxIndustries that Tor Kingship you just upvoted is around 18.5km long (1:500 scale). I would like to see that Pride of the Core ship of yours. Remember, in space capital ship combat, size isn't always the winning factor.
@KerlonceauxIndustries The Raddus? A Mon Calamari MC-85 cruiser? This dreadnought could go toe-to-toe with that one. In my lore, the first aliens that humanity encountered were the Tors, an elven race who were masters of biological warfare. They used ships far larger than conventional human ships, so instead of building bigger ships, humanity focused on putting ridiculously-overpowered weapons on standard-sized ships, that way they can deal more damage while still keeping a small silhouette.
@ThomasRoderick the auxiliary engines (the ones that flip when you retract the landing gear) are purely cosmetic. You use throttle to gain altitude. As of the prolonged burn, I originally set the engine multiplier to 10 but I wanted to give this guy a slight disadvantage so I kicked it up to 100.
@ThomasRoderick a prime example would be this. Although it is a military ship, Core frieghters would often share the same aesthetic minus the military-grade armor and weapons.
@ThomasRoderick Core freighters store their cargo inside their hull, and is placed near the bow of the ship to prevent any blind spots. They also have a solid hull construction, keeping all components such as engines and weapon emplacements as close to the main body as possible to make it more compact.
@ThomasRoderick the Fringe is basically the outskirts of Continuum space. Unlike Core worlds, Fringe Worlds do not have wormhole gates for instantaneous travel, meaning merchants would have to rely on their ship's jump drives to get to a Fringe world. Fringe space is often filled with worlds who have refused to join the Continuum and have fallen to barbarism, thus the high presence of pirates and outlaws in these areas. Despite their refusal to join the Continuum, they are still considered members, that's why trade between Core and Fringe worlds exist. As of why some routes aren't constantly patrolled, the Continuum just got back from a war, and most of its more powerful ships have been spent in battle. The outlaws have also learned how to combat/board the smaller patrol-dedicated corvettes and cruisers, making some Navy captains hesitant of conducting patrols in these areas.
@spefyjerbf well this build turned out just fine, plus I find it one of my best-handling ships (if I tone down the thrust). Thanks again! I'm definitely making a fuselaged version of this sometime soon.
@YuukaNeko there are not enough people here who are spaceship enthusiasts, plus conducting challenges is time-consuming. I could try, but I won't guarantee a huge success.
@SledDriver well that's how spefy named his version of it, I'm using it for convenience's sake. The main difference is that yours has the ability to change pitch angle
@EpicPigster1 @DJ123 Thank you!
@KerlonceauxIndustries ohh, ok. More Legends stuff I see. Yes, I have seen that movie.
@Mumpsy Thank you!

@CitizenZ13 Thank you! It took me just a few hours to complete the base body. The detailing and flight systems took me weeks to finish.
@PyrusEnderhunter ooohhh
Its got a mining laser but it has no ore refineries or cargo holds...
@Alienbeef0421 lol its basically the same plane
So basically a cash/upvote grab lol nice work though!
@spefyjerbf this could work as a gunship/dropship though, just add some dorsal and ventral turrets for 360-degree coverage
Judging from the cockpit size in relation to a human, this starfighter is almost the size of a corvette. Nice work though!
I'd like to order 2,000 units of these for my SpecOps forces ;)
Very nice!
Very nice!
@spefyjerbf contraband found. Shall I report?
Nice work!
Would've looked better with two tailfins like the F-22. Nice work though!
Just a question, why did the ACR fail?
Nice work! I like that realistic design
@BeryllCorp the fuel tank has infinite fuel and zero mass
+1@Alienbeef0421 ;)
Mind if I click that upvote button?
@BeryllCorp it doesn't float, it just has about 70000 drag points making it very un-aerodynamic, slowing its fall
+1@ThomasRoderick when the aux engines are perpendicular to the main body, it causes a lot of drag amd the CoM moves that's why it pitches up

No one breaks the platinum train
@BeaconX thank you!
@Treadmill103 thank you!
@Seeras thank you!
@PyrusEnderhunter sshhh don't let them know

I'd like to order 50,000 of these for my Navy personnel ;)

@Stellarlabs lol I guess simplicity is beauty ;)

@DarthAbhinav thank you!
@spefyjerbf thank you! I didn't expect you to like this, as I literally rushed through this build to practice xml-modding with the traditional parts.
@Dauntless look down the front of the gun on the third pic below the stats
Your mirroring is off
This comment section went from "oohh nice plane" to "trump is the greatest president ever" real quick. Nice build though!
Sexy
+1@AtlasSP it is indeed
Nice! Could've used some custom landing gear though, especially the rear gears.
noice

+1@SledDriver nice! I used to have my ships fly like planes before I learned about the 2D flight system.
@SledDriver oh, yeah, I honestly forgot about that. I see you made your own mods to it as well
