One of the projects I had in mind when getting into the game would be a long-range, high-speed transport space craft.
After some time thinking I can to the conclusion that the most efficient way to crate a large space for stuff like cargo, reactors, components, fuel tanks and reserve parts while using the avaibale surface to optimize the amount of thrusters you have would be a cone with thrusters on its side facing the tip of the cone. These thrusters would be staggered in height so they don't damage each other. Since the thrusters would leave a trail behind that looks like a Comet (with the rest of the ship) I named the concept that way. On top of this cone would be something I'd call "the bridge" where maintanance people could watch over the status of thrusters, reactors, fuel tanks and so on. The tip would just be a half ball: A small glas cockpit with places for a few people to sit and a large door that can open to allow for storing of cargo or personell to be transported. Another aplication I thought of would to have a smaller short ranged large capacity cargo transporter which would be bolted to a special frame. This would allow the smaller plane to make a short trip to Station A to get goods and transport it to Station B which would normally be out of range for it.
Please give me your thoughts and suggestions on my idea: Do you think it's possible?, Would you like to see it?, Would that be something you would buy? or generally any questions about the idea itself I'll be happy to answer.
