I recently thought about Space Wars in SFS. I wanted to make a ship specifically designed for destroying a space station or base in one go.
I introduce......
the Vibe Horne Mk. 1 Spaceship
3 Layers of Engines and Fuel Tanks, 300 Structural Units (designed to be used as some a form of shrapnel)
Effective Range: 2370 km above Terra or Earth's surface, can reach anywhere on Earth with practically no drag to stop it, SSTO.
I believe I went overkill on this one. When it entered the atmosphere from a 30x30 kilo orbit, drag didn't stop it and it was still traveling at 1600 km/hr. The ship worked so effectively that I still had 249 structural units on the main remnant of the spacecraft when I slammed it to the ground. The trajectory didn't change that much, which is good for aiming.
The only thing about this is that one must aim it really well to hit a target. If a dotted line showing the trajectory of the rocket after accounting for approximate aerodynamic drag was implemented, then you'd control the Earth.
The idea is to slam a couple of Vibe Horne Mk. 1 into space stations as there is currently a docking mechanism that will help one aim the Vibe Horne for the space station.
A lighter version should be implemented for planets further away like Jupiter (or you could send 300 structural units to a space station).
