Emperor's Hammer Project - in progress

Notes for flying: Don't lift the nose above 30 degrees, it will start tumbling.
On take off be very careful not to lift the nose too sharply, even with the wheel on the back you may go BOOM.
Edit: this is experimental as in the only other thing I have built as big is 'All Aboard The Crazy Plane'.
Doing something this big for a reason may be even crazier and if this works well, maybe a really BIG project is on the horizon.
Otherwise, controls as per normal.

After seeing my work on the Assault Gunboat, a high ranking member of the Emperor's Hammer suggested I should make an SSD (Super Star Destroyer). I told them that it was a little too big (!!) to make in SP. A full size SSD is FIFTEEN KM LONG! Even at 1/10 scale that would make it 1500 meters, which would make it the biggest object in the game and probably cause computers all over the world to have fits. So, I've gone with something a little smaller. You win a cookie if you can figure out what it is going to be and this has to be said because Star Wars "Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies" among other things. Bottle of "Kappa Hype" anyone?

    @randomusername Heh, this isn't the one that has the problem.
    I have another one, same size, but twice as tall in the rear
    Imagine this one with the same sort of structure on top as it has on the bottom.
    This one is actually the base for an ISD as in Star Wars, but it's not quite right.

    I made it twice as tall where it needed it and reskinned the whole lot, I just need to sort the wings out and it'll be good.
    Then I can get to work on that C&C tower area the darn things have and that's going to throw everything out of whack again. lol

    Le Sigh.
    Having to rebuild it a bit.
    It's not tall enough in the rear, it needs to be twice as tall.
    I guess you could this the 'Interceptor' ISD.
    Now there is an idea......
