Space Engineers 2024 My New Record Time - SR-71 "Raven"
25Officially I have the time below... but I knew it broke the record as I was on the tarmac in 16 minutes. The old record was 17:00 and I haven't accounted for the takeoff yet but that's usually around 20-30 seconds.
The plane I built and used is here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3337211343 (feel free to use it to practice or possibly break this record!)
So ballpark 15:55 - I'm saying "officially it's 15:53" as I have takeoff at 0:14 and landing at 16:07 (Dispute it if you like, I'm open to it being debated but noted a few multi second pauses as enemy stuff spawned in as well.)
Want to take a shot at that record? We have a contest (no prizes or anything) but the rules are simple: If you beat 16 minutes send me a link and a heads up: 1, Keep it under 42,000 M so it's "Within gravity/atmosphere" 2, Take off and land from the same runway. 3, No edits, no copied runways, 4, It needs to be in atmosphere that "can" burn you up i.e. aerodynamics mod. (Use speed mod to go faster than 100m/s because obvious cow goes moo)
Prizes? None, except the knowledge that you got there quicker than my SR-71. To beat it officially without questions, the landing has to be within 15:50 minutes of takeoff, flown in a straight line, landed no crashes i.e. no damaged parts flying off during landing. Small grid craft only (because yeah large grid can obviously do it faster.) Nothing outside atmosphere to assist going faster like ftl drives, jump drives, piston and harpoon contraptions, etc. Keep it under 42,000 M... No tunnels either, we're talking orbital top speed record. Video would show if you were trying to short flight it near the poles or anything so expect it be scrutinized by my viewers. (Survival of course - creative has no fuel restriction.)
We'd prefer you try with hydrogen and atmospheric thrusters but if you can do it with piston drives, gravity drives etc... I'd still love to see it.
Mods allowed? Go nuts - and show me how fast you can go in atmosphere!!!
