Vissaver Shuttle

[LP64350]

This is my first heavy lift space shuttle. While it’s maximum payload capacity is only 410t, it’s a pretty big amount for me. Now the reason I am posting this is for feedback. Let me know how it looks. Is it straight up trash, or decent?

 

[Marmilo]

Looks great! The payload is really decent, and I appreciate the VTOL. Now make the booster.

Thanks a lot! Booster is going pretty well at the moment should be finished by tomorrow!

Your fast... Takes me a week to make a good shuttle.

 

[LP64350]

Yeah. I really should slow down. Don’t want the booster to look super rushed compared to the orbiter.

 

[Marmilo]

That's not what I meant...
I'm slow cos I play like half an hour a day

 

[LP64350]

Oh I see, well I spend like 2 hours a day on SFS because my school is off and I can’t go anywhere so. Might as well put in the effort.

This shuttle looks great!

Thanks!

Your primary issue on any shuttle is balance, and everything affects it. The booster CoM, Shuttle CoM, payload mass and placement, engine placement and type, fuel transfer strategy... I mean, it's a logistical nightmare. Takes a really really good mind to produce a thoroughly balanced shuttle.

Oh, two days Alone for the VTOLs on the Korbli mk II

As I test my 3 different booster prototypes, you really see this. Right now im testing different engine placements on the booster.

God…… I should improve my shuttle……

Reached orbit for the first time!!!! And put 410t with it!!! I even docked with my team frontier Space station, and it’s tiny compared to this thing.

Well would you look at that. You can dock large craft to it.

Maybe TtTOtW will be happy now...

its more fun if you try to *yeet* some of your or just some shuttles on 300+ m/s

Yes now you can. Before the two extension pieces he added, it would be literally impossible.
