The Cylinder Is a large alien probe built by an unknown race and sent to visit solar systems where It gathers data and can establish contact with intelligent beings. The probe is 504m long and has a diameter of 80 meters. It has a dark metallic surface wich Is extremely resistant to collisions and heat making the probe likely invulnerable to any attacks. The probe isn't affected by drag at all. It is also capable of generating a powerful EMP(electomagnetic impulse) to shut down any electronics within 10km of the probe.
HOW TO FLY
The front Is the heading and has 3 speeds:
RCS(slow movement or moon landings)-Use with translation mode on and to turn disable translation and turn w yaw.
VTOL/FORWARD/BACKWARDS
WARP/EXIT WARP
forward and warp are self explanatory while backwards for warp Is the exit warp AG.
After enabling the various Speeds use:
VTOL=THROTTLE
FORWARD=SLIDER 1
BACKWARDS=SLIDER 2
WARP=SLIDER 3
EXIT WARP=SLIDER 4

    Main inspiration Is the Whale Probe from Star Trek the voyage home movie.

    @ToadAeronautics the fun fact Is that no One really knows what this probe Is made from. It looks like metal of some kind and I can assure you It Is durable

    @BeaconIndustries After looking at the delta-V readout, I can say this is certainly more than NASA tinfoil.

    @KashmianAerospace It has to do with the Star Trek movie probe having a lore centered about getting in contact with humpbavk whales. It's kinda complicated buT cool. My probe might be at your doorbell tò establish contact eventually XD

    @KashmianAerospace fun fact Just like in Star Trek the probe went to the Tydos system to search whales on it's moons. It failed sadly
