User:Swb/Renaissance Cruiser Base Design Proposal

Use this linked parts file.

The Renaissance is a 2308 fiat design, estimated in the pre-parts system. Some leeway with parts available must be granted in order to make it work, as it was ordered at least 2-4 years early by the part progression. In addition, the Renaissance is somewhat impossible as a 1mt design with cruiser subframe limitations. To account for these issues, tier 1 parts were generally used in the Renaissance base design, and a 1050kt cruiser frame was used. For this particular attempt, no internal weight restrictions were placed except the frame's 1050kt (external weight includes 80kt of nacelles, but the convention of fiat to designer conversion ignores this).

The resulting design is well over in weight and BR, but only +5 SR, perhaps acceptable given how extraordinary the Renaissance was for its technology level.
