Using old planes to see if you can get into space gets old after awhile.

Hello my nation of zackaroth needs space travel ships. Very badley. Our airforce is just a pile of crap. No really. It really is a pile of crap. We only have about 50 planes that can fight and get citzen to were they need to go. about 90% of the time they explode. Thats not good. Yes i am new here but i need ships that can leave earth and explore the outereaches of space.

I have the perfect ship for you, the MAG-1 space plane,

The MAG-1 Space plane
Launched using 600ft of MagLev track and its advanced combined cycle rocket engines to reach orbit in record time, the MAG-1 has 3 crew positons (allthough it only takes 2 or in extreme cases 1 person to pilot it) and can be equiped for 7 additonal passengers. If the cargo are is used to store cargo or fuel the passengers are reduced to 2. Near the cargo bay doors a multi-adaptable soft dock and airlock mechanism provides easy access to space stations and other space craft. There is enough room and provison to sustain the crew for 3 days, with a full cargo load. If there is now cargo, the MAG-1 can be equipped to sustain 10 people for 4 days. The MAG-1 is meant as a space taxi or ferry., and is not intended for long duration missions. But in someinstances we have equiped it for scientfic experimets and the 3 crew wer able to last 12 days on board the MAG-1. Standard retro rockets are supplement by plasma rockets to provide excellent manevring thrust. There are no weapons but there are 2 sensor hardpoints which could be used to equip weapons if needed.
The cost, including the installation of the MAGLEV trac is $2billion, if you buy 1 MAG-1 the 2nd one will only be $1.6 billion since you only need one track

The International Fleet will not sell you combat systems but our space planes have a 100% success rate out of millions of flights since 2020.
Theyre are initially expensensive at the current 200-300 mln per vehicle, but they are very, very low maintenence with integrated AI controled robotics.
