Out of curiosity, do you think you may do an update where the Planetary Orion's docking adaptors function?

maybe

you should make project valkyrie

My favorite historical spaceship.

Also salute to another reader of ProjectRho :D

I am quite new to the flight sim part of this, do the orion engines actually pulse or is it just the usual big blue welder plasma flame cone thing most of the vessels use in this game?

Real interstellar travel (within the bounds of well understood physics) does not involve warp drives. It involves the use of real-space engines, such as this and Daedalus.

these models are awesome, but i have one issue: the interstellar ships don't have a warp drive
is this a bug or is there something im missing?

Damn, these models are really good! I tried making an Orion Battleship in Blender a few months ago, but I clearly have a long way to go.

@ettore.bilbo The spherical shape of the ship makes it especially well-suited to using a detachable shield; a shield that covers the forward section of the ship during powered flight would also cover the ship as it rotated. That doesn't quite apply to the non-spherical one, but it would cover most of the ship's central section during the turnaround. Anyway, the odds of any debris hitting the vessel during a maneuver lasting single-digit minutes is extremely remote (and with a detachable shield even that unlikely event is prepared for).

Awesome models!
Random request......there anyway you could put a lightsail model in this pack?

Nice models! Great addon!

for HarbingerDawn: I think it's not that absurd to have two shields. this type of ship accelerates until it reaches not indifferent portions of the speed of light and at that speed a rotation maneuver could expose the ship to catastrophic risks.

cool! really a good joob, also with texture. I hate texturize :-)
maybe one day, if you wanted, we could work together to prepare something nice...

wow developers shaming their fans how could you

The interstellar ones don't make any sense, it would vastly reduce mass and complexity to simply have a shield in front and rotate for the braking maneuver. Spending 5 minutes on a rotation maneuver one time in the course of a decades-long flight is a trivial matter.
