I've always liked missiles and bombs, but I'm running out of ideas for cool bombs and missiles to make. The missile I uploaded under an hour ago is the only one I've made from fuselage blocks, and the only one where you can’t clearly see the explosives. I need some ideas for new things to make. Any ideas and/or feedback is appreciated!
The power of VTOL engines is spread evenly throughout all the nozzles and RCNs on the aircraft. Regarding the fuel problem, two thirds of the weight of my ICBM comes from fuel. Recently a new problem has developed where it randomly detonates 10 seconds after liftoff. I’m going to try fixing it now @randomusername
The ICBM actually works okay. As I predicted, the weight keeps the speed down. I'm going to need to use some powerful VTOL engines for steering because that thing might as well be sitting on the ground, the stability it has. I still need to add fins :) @randomusername
I’ve completed the basic body of the ICBM. It is massive, weighing almost 400,000 pounds. I decided to use VTOL for steering and a modded BFE150, but due to the extreme weight, it will still keep slower than a million MPH. The missile is extremely stable but it is hard to lift the nose, understandably. @randomusername
I’ll be sure to do that. I’ll also have some for steering. I won’t have control surfaces, but I’ll still have fins for stability. @randomusername
Oh, and I’m also watching That 70s Show, so I’ll get some laughs even if I fail dramatically :) @randomusername
I’m thinking about hiding the VTOL engines inside the fuselage, which will be circular and 6 across. The nozzles/RCNs can be placed either on the main BFE150s at the base or hidden inside the body. I’m praying it works @randomusername
The idea behind the RCN is actually the nozzles that steer spacecraft.
I found out that VTOL works anywhere. @randomusername
I’m currently building an ICBM, and I’ve learned how to make a primary set of engines for low stratospheric flight, then a secondary set of engines for thermospheric flight. I’m still working on tweaking it, plus arming it. I’m using the same small cleaver design I used in my missile earlier today. Thanks for the suggestions! @randomusername
I suppose I could try to make an ICBM. The thing about an ICBM is that it goes up into space to conserve fuel, and most engines lose power at 90,000 feet, leaving about 210,000 feet to go. There’s also the problem of powerful engines and holding enough fuel while also having a powerful explosive onboard.
If you can find a super fast and insensitive cleaver, I’d like to know so I can use it for the engine. If there’s a very powerful explosive, I’d also like to know so I can use it for the nuclear bomb. I’d prefer they were lightweight. I’ll be searching :)
Thanks for the idea! @randomusername
