The Zero is an all-purpose drone that combines dual speeds, heavy armament, and excellent handling. Its cruise speed is a sedate 600 mph, which makes it great for attacking ground targets, and with full afterburner it instantly accelerates to 3000 mph, enabling it to get to the area of interest that much faster.

    @BroWassup Well, for something simple like this a scripting language is quicker to iterate, but if C is what you're fluent in you can use C. Start by creating simple builds and study the XML to understand how the different parameters work. Build some builds by hand to get a feel for the numbers. If you make some progress I can help you along.

    @BroWassup Well, it would take a while to explain, but basically you have to understand how fuselage blocks (and any other parts you want to use) work, have a good grasp of 3D math and geometry in general, and be fluent in a scripting/programming language.

    @BroWassup It's just scripts I write myself.

    One question, @SledDriver

    @123Planebuilder It'll be a while, maybe weeks. I haven't built a battleship before, so I'll need to think about it first.

    @Sleddriver I requested that battleship a few days ago I’m not trying to make you rush or anything but do you have any idea of when you will post it

    Thanks, @Treadmill103. Thought I'd just do a quick build for today. Now that another user has released a shape-generating script, I look forward to certain people putting their money where their big mouths are and generating builds like these with zero effort :) How soon do you think you'll start seeing other users putting up builds like mine?

    I went with the single color on this one because I think that brings out the subtle curves more. Adding stripes etc. would only obscure the shape. And then again, it's very easy to apply a color scheme, so anyone who wants to can paint it any way they like.
