Generation δ spaceships

Hello,

a year ago I started working on spaceships that would be different from classic rockets.
These space corvettes and cruisers feature a specific shape and are capable of vertical take-offs and landings, as well as carrying and using various weapon systems. All these ships are designed to be as balanced as possible in vertical flight.

Not much remains of the α, β, and γ generation, most of these ships having been deleted, either on purpose or by mistake.

Cheats are required to successfully use these spaceships, at least "Infinite fuel" and "Infinity build area".

I am also sending a plan for the use of ships, including the use of weapon systems. It is my legacy to all lovers of this great game and I will be very happy if the arsenal of this type of ships will be expanded. Enjoy :)

Nice ships, they seem modular and as though certain features such as weapon systems are compatible with multiple ships, which is neat. Not sure if the sort of ribbed shape to them provides any sort of benefit other than aesthetics, and the infinite fuel is a bit of a turn-off but still neat. Great ships overall, not a fan of infinite fuel cheats though. If its okay with you, could i possibly modify these to not require the use of the "Infinite fuel" cheat?

Thank you. I chose the shape of the ships not only for aesthetics, but also for symmetry.

Yes, I designed the weapon systems to be compatible with most larger ships. With smaller corvettes, these systems are more difficult to use due to recoil, for example.

I am aware that the infinity fuel cheat is not to everyone's taste. I started building these ships with the goal of exploring the large number of star systems and planets shared here. My goal was simply to fly in - land - fly away. However, the first generation β and δ ships were designed to work without said cheat. However, this required refueling and thus the creation of a system of gas stations, which was too time-consuming. Therefore, they were also modified in the end, and the orange fuel tanks became a remnant and now help balance the ship. However, if you want to modify the ships to function without infinity fuel, I'm not opposed, on the contrary, it will be nice to see how the list of classes of these ships grows. Just please choose original names for the new ship classes, so that there is no confusion :)
