Space Transportation System, aka SPACE SHUTTLE STS01

by PROGArrO
====================================

Ok, this is the only 'star'ship named Enterprise which have never travelled into space. Well, until now!
Here today the full package with Boosters, Tank and Orbiter. Plus a little surprise at the end of the liftoff procedure. Spoiler in ScreenShot05 provided only inside the file.
But you'll enjoy this one!

Being just a shuttle, it doesn't have almost any shield/armor and no weapons. If you want to make an a**kicker Space Shuttle, well, I suggest hardpoints 01 and 02. They are located on the lower hull right under the main cabin facing front.

Boosters can be decomissioned after being released to be reused in a later launch.
Only problem, the External Tank, supposed to face a horrible death, will not explode. I tried several tricks but doesn't work. well, some more trash outta there.

Oh, of course it doesn't re-assemble!
