Shuttle War!

[TtTOtW]

This is it! I'm declaring my shuttle is better than all the others! If you disagree, prove me wrong.

Requirements
1 Must look thoroughly realistic.
2 Must operate fully, cheat free.
3 Must specify cargo limits (size and mass into LEO in fully enclosed cargo bay).
4 Must land damage free (cargo cover may be disposed of in space if you wish).
5 Must be launched with cargo as proof of mass limit.
6 At least make the cargo interesting.
7 Must be reloadable with cargo, refuellable and relaunchable with newly attached boosters (boosters don't have to be reused, just new boosters).

Screenshots are gold here. Let me show you how it's done

Which role?

 

[TtTOtW]

Lol, the arrogant idiot role...

 

[GuHP20]

Lol, the arrogant idiot role...

Ah,but you're not idiot.

 

[TtTOtW]

Hahaha... It's fun, and funny, to play act like one sometimes

Oohhh fun! I will put it on YT when done. Can I see my competition?
I'm gonna make it as realistic as possible both looks wise and performance wise.

 

[PhantomGamingYT]

Oof

Will post the performance once done. Here's the shuttle:

 

[PhantomGamingYT]

I'll try.
just for fun though.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Sounds like this is a good place to start on challenges... Trying stuff.

 

[Zeeray13]

Dont know if this counts as a shuttle but it does work like one its a heavily modified minotaur rocket

I know you're a rocket man, but one requirement in this specific challenge is not only function but form. Making it non symmetrical is a challenge in itself. Try that, give it a plane shape.

You happy now?

 

[TtTOtW]

Nice!

 

[TtTOtW]

Now to reuse the same shuttle, but great job I didn't expect it to be so nice looking

I did reuse the same shuttle

 

[TtTOtW]

Landed, launched again and returned from LEO again? Sort but you didn't show any screenshots of that so I didn't know

Kk well ig ill have to do it again

 

[Danny Batten]

Kk well ig ill have to do it again

Well if it doesn’t work the first time, then do it again, and again, and again, and again, and again.....

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

My work so far.

Not great, and has an annoyingly complicated launch, but does okay.
Already made a part run to my space station.

(Station is a mess... Removing a damaged solar array. This shuttle version was earlier than the others, couldn't use the ions because of a spacing issue.)

Also managed to hoverslam an early version, would've screenshotted but didn't remember at the time, and went back to picture it but it glitched into the ground... Still have some things to work on for reuse.

 

[TtTOtW]

@Lt. Snakestrike that design looks promising.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

We can use no grav for reassembly, right?

 

[TtTOtW]

We can use no grav for reassembly, right?

Well... No... Otherwise this all is too easy. We're going super realistic in this challenge.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

That'll be interesting then... Time to make a reassembly pad.
