Auto Credit Based on zap210's Thunderbird 3

Original Ship auto credit was just a concept non working just a model
Credit should go towards WenHop as well for the “XTA-1 Engine”

This is a recreation of the Thunderbird 3. As of right now this has 3 stages and just barely cant make LEO. First stage is powered by WenHop’s “XTA” engines which run hyrdolox on this build so tecnically the XTA-2 engines.

V2 Tweaks coming
Landing system
More fuel for orbits
Another stage for possibly space station docking?

Craft stages are in order and on ground launch instantly lock up and hit XTA engines (1st stage) or it will fall, still tryikg to give a cool landing system

    @XionmassResearchDevt thank you! I have a ThunderBird 4 variant that I was originally trying to go for and I’ll have that up in about 3 hours, it will be fully useable

    @LunaMelodies Also I’m sorry I didn’t release the aerospike by itself, which was a deliberate decision I might add. I didn’t choose to do it because it was kinda engrained into the shuttlecraft and wasn’t meant to be used separately.

    @WenHop I want to make the thunderbird 4 but I first had to start with 3 and I must say with your XTA engines added to this replica added a fresh twist that allowed me to start growing an idea of mine. Hope you enjoy this I’ll update it more
