The Starfall:


Changes from the original:

This version I made is a delta wing configuration of their military plane. I decided I’d also try and make it look a little more futuristic. The plane had a relatively fancy VTOL engine, but I placed a normal engine where that was. I then used VTOL to act as the control surfaces.


I know that SP already auto-credits but…

Here is the original build.

Let’s get this version to at least 8 upvotes.


The Lore [Extended Cut]:

After taking the plane, and cutting off the wings, 99s, the price threshold enjoying company, decided to bastardise the thing. They added obnoxiously large primary wings, in a delta wing configuration. They also added 2 vertical stabilises as it looked cool.

They then decided that instead of adding control surfaces, they’d go the extra mile and put way too much thought into how to make it fly. They ended up using VTOL nozzles, and a tiny side of RCNs. Then in the design phase, the design team decided they really liked a song, and added it to the wings.

“Empty
Unending darkness
A perfect nothing
Consuming all
Drawn beyond the
Event horizon
Too late, tonight the stars will fall”

As this is a 99s Plane, it stands to reason there is at least one notable issue:
