For a long while i wanted to come up with something built entirely by me with more than 20 parts. and there it is. Even so, the satelite and the rover comms dish are yoinked from other sources lol. i do hope you will enjoy this and have as much fun as i did with it. it can reach Mach 12 in Droo atmosphere using the main engine, and i do not recommend using that in atmosphere or anywhere near any construct. i wanted to make it ion only but it kept spinning even with that monster gyroscope... so i just slapped another monster on it. Seriously though, use the ion engines near planets or your new Starblast will get vaporized due to atmospheric friction. it also has VTOL in form of a series of beefy ion engines pushing from below, in case you don't have a runway. can deploy a rover and a satellite simoultaneously. the RCS i added just for the looks but i eventually put a dock on it just for the heck of it so they do have an actual purpose.however docking can be a bit tricky due to the placement of the port. And yes, i do know that in the pics there is one with a different color. same craft almost, same specs, different paint. that was the final prototype and it is not falling. it is orbiting. oh yea, it floats too.
PS: don't trust the auto-staging of the engines and use the navsphere while in vacuum
