B/SF-17 StarFortress (Mobile version)

5,236 SMH  6.3 years ago

I got a request from someone to take the part count on the original StarFortress down (they suggested around 800) so I took it down to about 600-700 as well as gave it a new paint scheme. I found that a large number of parts were actually in the bombs, so i deleted everything on them except the explodey parts. It has a few minor differences in aesthetics and performance.

Info:

The MG-100 StarFortress SF-17 was a heavy bomber manufactured by Slayn & Korpil. The starship featured three sublight ion thrusters, a single hyperdrive, and artificial gravity projectors. At the bottom-front of the ship strutted a targeting sensor mast, which contained a targeting sensor and active-tracking array. Two short range comms antenna were located along the top of the ship along its keel line. Jutting horizontally from the ship's profile were two stabilizer foils. In total, the ship was crewed by five individuals. A single pilot and flight engineer operated within the armored cockpit. The bombardier operated a targeting pedestal on the flight deck, and two gunners operated the rear and ventral ball turrets.

The B/SF-17's[5] intended purpose was to deliver a payload of 1,048 proton bombs on top of a target. The modular bombing magazine, called the "clip" by the bomber's crew would drop the bombs through sequenced electromagnetic plates in the clip, which propelled the bombs to "drop" in microgravity environments. The bombs would then be drawn magnetically to their targets. The assembly could be programmed to drop specific sections of the payload in sequence, but the most common configuration was "deploy all." To drop the ship's payload, the bombardier on the flight deck monitored a concentrated sensor feed. The system calculated the optimum time for release, and at a given prompt, or at the discretion of the bombardier, the control button on a wireless remote triggered the release of the payload. A magnetic seal retained the atmosphere when the bomb bay doors were open.
