Alcmenes

    • ship size:
    • Size - 50-75 meters depending on aspect ratios. It needs to be able to have a reasonable internal volume for troops, vehicles, and equipment.
    • basic shape & rhythm:
    • This will not be a pretty ship. Indeed, it’s not really a ship. It’s designed to be dropped from orbit, and, while it is space-rated, it can’t really operate out of atmosphere. This ship should have recognizable air-breathing engines in addition to proportionately tiny normal Aeran space engines (main engines the size of maneuvering jets on similarly sized craft, much smaller than the air breathers). Since it’s designed to be dropped from orbit, it needs to be appropriately A) aerodynamic, and B) compact (big thin wings would break off). Thus, a body-wing approach is preferable. The drop is one-way – it is not capable of returning to space unassisted. Even it’s air-breathing engines are primarily for maneuvers on the way down. It is capable of atmospheric flight post-landing, but is ungainly. It is heavily armored and lacks the traditional visible radiator presence of actual spacecraft.
