She's gorgeous!

 

[Marmilo]

Breathtaking.
Absolutely insane.

New missiles!

New missiles!

Sorry, no new missiles (I’ll add new missiles into ships in the future). I actually had to take away some missiles for the arm to fit in.
But Nightfall is now in orbit! After a few minutes of lag and the game crashing a few times while on the launchpad, Nightfall, along with Unto Evil, is now in orbit (at 30.7 km) and will rendezvous with Unto Evil to hopefully successfully dock.

Nightfall before launch (game was crashing while I was trying to add the boosters to the staging)

Booster separation

Nightfall in orbit ready to dock with Unto Evil then begin refuelling.

New engines

Old engines (Unto Evil)

The new engines (AV-8, just 3 frontiers and a hawk) provide more thrust (420) and consume less fuel at the same time over the Titan. I also prefer the look of the plumes. A downside of the new engines though is that the ship can’t run out of fuel while the engines are burning or the engines will cut off and can’t all be turned back on.

This pretty much concludes the production of the ODW01s. Unless a new plan comes up where I need to make a new one. Next I’ll be building some support ships which will be probably only be around a quarter of the size of the ODW01, and I’ll be making more transports like Oslo and Paris. And hopefully I’ll find time to make a carrier which will house fighters like the ones on the ODW01s but upgraded.

She's gorgeous!

Breathtaking.
Absolutely insane.

Thank you!

Holy damn good ship, dude...
Also, congratulations on joining the Alliance.

Docking together Nightfall and Unto Evil

Connected with docking arm

Now I just need to refuel them. Just ~18000 tons of fuel

Two big bois slapped together, made em both bigger than before!

Nice view btw

That's brilliant! The builds look like a fleet

 

[Hawk]

Well, it’s been a long long time but I’ve resumed work in some of my upcoming ships. Right now I’m almost halfway through a carrier, named The Executor, that will hold at least 28 fighter craft (now designated as MK I fighters) and potentially two minor supports. I’m expecting to finish within the week. Following this I will move to finalising my ideas/plans for and construct the escorts Oberon and Striker. I’ve also decided that I might change the name of of the CTA (Callisto Trade Alliance) to the ITSA (Interplanetary Trade & Security Alliance) due to the limited association with Callisto.

Wait to see

 

[TtTOtW]

Nice.

 

[Hawk]

At a base (without a booster) of 15272 tons, the ITSA Executor is now awaiting the construction of an adequate booster to get it to orbit.
The idea for two minor supports was scrapped, but it still has all 28 MK I fighters.

 

[Astatium_209]

Wow, really cool stuff!

Slapping some sssls's on should do the trick

The ITSA Executor has made it into orbit (barely)!

Remaining fuel from the side boosters was moved to the empty main tank and Executor will now wait for refuelling.
And in the case of the stretched engines, adequate ballast was added (~1250 tons in the form of probes under the riveted fairing at the bottom end of the vessel)

I’m looking to have someone else work on these types of ships as well within the ITSA if anyone is interested. Also the possibility of making the ITSA a more notable/real faction

I have plans. Believe me I'll contact you once I'm done setting up.

I look forward to what you have in mind

 

[TtTOtW]

It's called "The Unknown". Will publish soon.

 

[Hawk]

Here is the new assault craft from CSY for the ITSA designated as the K-Class IAC.
It features four 20mm guns along with two 100 mm cannons. And it is additionally armed with eight replaceable rockets.

Firing of all eight rockets

A booster will be made for it to reach orbit.
This will also be made and deployed in larger quantities than bigger ships such as the ODWs and carriers.

I will also give another update soon on already finished ships and future ships.

Executor was also refuelled to 70% to perform tests which will be shown at some point.

 

[TtTOtW]

Damn nice building style you got.

 

[Hawk]

Damn nice building style you got.

Thanks man. Gets hard to come up with ideas sometimes though.

K-IAC 01 was launched into orbit using a kind of bad booster, but it still did the job.

And Executor got to Deimos and landed there.

And due to amount of smaller craft that can be easily refuelled (as in they don’t need 5000+ tons of fuel), I’ve come up with the plan to assemble a large refuelling station in very LEO at about 35-40 km. The plan is to get several large reservoirs (1500-2000 ton tanks) and a docking bay that can rearm craft.

I’ve also considered moving operations to the moon or another body. This of course would be an incredible feat, but time will show what may or may not be possible for the ITSA.

 

[TtTOtW]

Yeah a man who works with no cheats and no shortcuts work harder for sure. But what he achieves deserve endless respect.

 

[Hawk]

Well attempting this all will certainly get the ideas coming. I’ve already got 4 more ships lined up though with one of them being the largest yet and this station. I also need to refit Unto Evil and Nightfall so that their engines don’t explode. I might just have to decommission them as it would require an extensive overhaul of their structure.

As always, biggus thiccus! (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
