I did not say anything about a reactor. But you should add another two pares of solar panels. |

You do realize the reactor part was sarcastic?  I see what you mean now. You probably can't see them well, on the side of the rear modules (deep blue with white x cross), is already has 2 pairs of panels. And I understand if you couldn't make it out that well since the panels are about the same color as the modules. |

Any idea what sort of projectile it will fire? Weight, size, and what's it made of? No High Explosives I'm guessing since the velocity at impact should be sufficient for a big kaboom. |

What sort of muzzle energy is this thing supposed to have? Given the apparent size I would guess it's rather extreme, so you would expect to see large capacitor banks somewhere. Also, the recoil of this thing is enough that you'll probably want to give this thing some sort of thruster pack to shove it back into the proper orbit. |

It's all there, although a majority of the systems, capacitors, generators, as well as part of the Thermal Control System leading to the External TCS situated along the barrel and part of the lower structure, are all internal. It uses multiple RCS thrusters, although they are too small to draw in the scale though. I and others discussed this with APDAF earlier on. |
