Ship design: atmospheric flight
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2006 1:04 pm
Hi all,
Just a few thoughts:
Basic Question: Where does our "shooter" play? Only in space, or is atmospheric flight an option? Choosing the latter case, I think it would be better to add some wings to the design, and if it's just for the sake of physics, unless you want to ignore that part completely or do the flying at ballistic speeds...
I am under the impression that hover propulsion was not yet available to humans.
Skimming through the models yet implemented, if pretty much liked the terran_fighters (all models, #4 the most)... the terran_corvette might also be acceptable (speaking of wings).
I prefer the edgy design over round one.
The human (military) design was always trimmed more on effectiveness, than on beauty.
cheers

PS. sorry for the chaotic post, I hope you get what I mean.
