Time for some reading, or not:

Im just going to say this: I can’t do fantasy spacecraft or whatever. I can make things off of blueprints and such, and turn them into fictional vehicles and stuff like that, but no fantasy, do whatever builds. I’ve had this unlisted for 13 or so days being unable to form a decent description. Well, I don’t know.


A Brief, (maybe...) Description:

The Alpha X-17 is a space frigate designed in part by TotallySafe Aviation. The design group had a Sci-Fi movie night, and someone had the bold idea of making a spacecraft. They consulted with several space agencies about how to make their Sci-Fi dreams come true. The result is this thing. By some stroke of luck, they found a way for it to work, (don’t ask me, ask the engineering department.)

It was fitted with a few laser beams, (again, ask the proper department,) and a couple shield generators. Was it built to serve some purpose other than being an impressive showpiece? I don’t know, it was only “flown” once for an hour and never actually reached a successful orbit.

Controls:

Ag1+Throttle: VTOL Engines
Ag2+Throttle: Main Engines
Pitch: Pitch
Roll: Roll
Ag8: RCS nozzles. (Deactivate after takeoff/landing)

Recommended that you disable VTOL engines after takeoff

Don’t crash and burn:

Other than that, you should be fine. I know, great advice. But hey, what can you do. Just make sure that your insurance is all good before flying.

Yes, I know it looks bad, blame the design group for watching all those movies.

I think I’m going to stick to cars, planes, or tanks.
