Seven kilometers of copper wire

Countryside

Countryside

I was living in a city with 70,000 inhabitants.
Fastest internet was 1 MB/s downstream.

Hardly countryside, just near-monopolies and private industry doing their work.

 

[Izack]

Moving into a city was a good idea.

 

[Fabri91]

A bit slower here.

[Artlav]

I think it's router-limited...

Playing with ideas:

LAM or not LAM, that is the question.

 

[Loru]

LAM or not LAM, that is the question.

Actually no. It's rather small Sci-Fi spacecraft for other universe.

Well, could have been possible. :lol:

But it looks pretty, though the wine glass shaped nozzles are a bit out of place if you are too much used to rocket theory. Well, not sure what your intention there was for the nozzles.

Will it have a docking port or do you need to EVA into it?

Nozzles have classic bell shape on the inside - there is cooling equipement hidden under "wine" profile.

Yes - it will have docking port under the cover on you can see on top (pink edges)

And few more angles

Ah ok, because it ended so abrupt at the throat end, it looked a bit strange, in the other perspective it makes more sense

And in the perspective view of the "few more angles", it really looks like it could be a mean fighter-bomber... just lacks some bomb bays/pylons and maybe a gun turret on the underside.

Reminds me of a Kerbal spaceplane using the Mk1 cockpit.

 

[Loru]

In this case my inspiration were:

Interceptor from UFO-Enemy Unknown (1994) Aka X-COM Ufo Defense

F-35 and Mig-25

Guys, guys, I figured it all out! The greatest mystery in human history is solved!

Urwumpe is actually a cyborg (he's built to store a lot of data without having to sleep) who was sent to Earth by an alien species. They wanted him to learn about humans, report back to them and as a nice side-effect educate the humans to become more intelligent and open-minded for science so they would accept new alien overlords.
Then a catastrophe happened on the alien's homeplanet (why do homeplanets always get destroyed?) and many, many of them died. The rest found themselves on a world that either consisted out of lava or really hot deserts. So they took everything they could find and looked for a new homeworld, fueled by rumours about a species with a cyborg ambassador.
Sadly the project "U.R.W.U.M.P.E." (Unlimited runtime with ultra memory, possibly eidetic) was classified so the survivors of the catastrophe still haven't found him. But up to this date the Urwumpe is very active in all forms of communication methods with long storage time and worldwide availablity, hoping that his masters will find him. And to help them with their cause he puts a short message in their language after all his texts:
ᛊᛟᛊᛖ ᛒᛖᚾᚱᛖᚾᚲᛁ ᛊᛟᛊᛖ ᛒᛚᚢᛟᛏᚱᛖᚾᚲᛁ ᛊᛟᛊᛖ ᛚᛁᛞᛁᚱᛖᚾᚲᛁ

Come to the system you received this message from. The 3rd, 4th and moons of the 5th and 6th big rocks are habitable. You could probably also survive on other solid planets except the 2nd, attempt no landing there.

I would say, my mission is far from over, now that I read this. :lol:

And I have forgotten what eidetic means...

 

[jedidia]

:rofl:

If that is not actually a joke, it's even more funny...

 

[Loru]

Hmm - moved nose 2 meters into front and enough for today.

Maybe a single central rudder, to change a bit ? :lol:

Nice work BTW

Well - there are cargo doors at the back to incorporate small (5.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 meter) cargo bay for small rover so I an't use single ruder. And yes - I've stolen Verstabs and landing gear elements from XR3

Try it in Ubuntu... (still don't know what it says, but it's a little clearer...)
