I thought about this, but was at a loss for a good design for the mesh! If you can give me a good reference of what it could look like, I can try (or better yet, give me a finished model ). You can even use my Rainbow Dash XR2 as a shuttle. ;D

I have a challenge

Bring it on!

Ok, basic concept done. There were no appearances in the show, but there are internet drawings.

THIS IS COOL.
Except you'd probably need to make something like this very big to do damage on the surface, and with the angle of the mirrors, you've actually created a retroreflector. But now I'm getting ideas!

Also, 900th post. Yay~

I've been wondering about an Orbital Friendship Cannon add-on. How are we going to make the hundreds-of-kilometers-long Friendship laser(s)? For the station itself, I was thinking of 1 cylinder surrounded by 5 shorter cylinders. (1 + 5 = 6 Elements of Harmony)

I figure a dummy thruster(s) would do the job for the beam. Fuel (Some kind of friendship ammunition) would come from canisters delivered by the XR2.

I knew it was going to be a thruster. So how do we make it so that it reaches the ground from orbit?

Easy, make it so the length=1000000

A good example is the Hius ISV by Artlav:

I came up with my second prototype: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48481896/OFC-1.pdf

Much more logical. Runs on solar power, battery banks, and has a servicing door for access to the guts.

It always runs on Love and Tolerance, where are you getting these ideas? :rant:

Rainbows and friendship to be exact!

Well, that's not a 1000 km long exhaust.

 

[Artlav]

Indeed. It's only 30 Km long, and is not a rainbow.

Btw, what's with all the ponies?
Is that a new meme of some sort?

Its a fandom, not a meme. Though, it has produced meme-like images, with catchphrases used often between fans of the show. This is one of those ideas that caught on around the fandom, and is apparently being implemented into Orbiter.

Was only posting to show that nothing weird happens when using absurd exhaust lengths.

For those who don't know,
The Orbital Friendship Cannon is actually a meme based on Rainbow Dash's "Sonic Rainboom".

A screencap from the show makes it look like a beam being fired from orbit.

I'm not terribly interested in this show, but, if I may, I found a rather interesting looking one on a search trying to find out what this was.

Don't ask questions of that sort and your mind will stay safe.

Yes. Some things are better not to know.
