Challenger Shuttle
Comes with a challenge attached...
View attachment 294 Built as a challenge to myself, she's an.even greater challenge to fly. But a skilled, experienced pilot gets the real deal: a classic realistic shuttle, doing a realistic drop off mission to envy! She'll surprise you a few times, but you'll master her stubborn streak soon enough... Takes up to about 12 tons to the Moon. 6m long load bay.

Landing is ridiculously easy:
View attachment 271 Hovers on Mars no problem, even with a reasonably heavy load:
View attachment 272 Solar panels are hard to destroy when closed so makes for an ideal load bay floor. Loads up to 6m wide loads. Stuck loads can be released using solar panels. The original design had only 5m load width capacity but that had retractable legs.

Note the difference behind the cab and the smaller ports and more solar panels on the load bay floor.
So it's a glorified luggage trolley

Something like that. The “I’m alone on the forum” posts were slowly accumulating energy over time until eventually they created a black hole that sucked all the life on Gecko’s thread.
well until cooper comes in :) :p

Thst was my first ever (and the first ever!) real shuttle in SFS. At the time, just getting any payload to orbit was a small miracle. See, I was once just like you new guys :)
