Singula ETS

161k spefyjerbf  6.2 years ago
Auto Credit Based on TMach5's SMUGGLERS Challenge **CLOSED**

"The individual will escape from this Ivory Tower."

For the smuggler's challenge. I used a different style on this one.

Controls:
VTOL to open doors
Activator 1 to eject cargo.
Activator 2 for parachutes (on the cargo)

Note: High capacity countermeasures are available!

The Singula type aircraft is a pure civilian cargo ship that was designed for individual use. A joint effort between SPEcorp and Laevitas Corp, the Singula was specifically designed to be used by the average civilian. To appeal to civilian consumers, a few assumptions were made about the target consumer for this aircraft.

First, the average civilian lives on planets that were colonized in recent history. With settlements no older than 100 years old, such planets would be dotted with urban centers placed hundreds of miles apart.

Second, the average civilian would benefit from a personal, cargo hauling aircraft. Using a personal aircraft for transporting goods would allow for efficient resource allocation, and would enable civilians to participate in trade on a planetary scale.

Third, the average civilian does not have a large amount of disposable income. The design of a personal-use civilian aircraft would be centered around function. Style is secondary. No special weapons, abilities, or gizmos can be added to the final design. Only the bare essentials will be permitted.

Taking those assumptions into consideration, SPEcorp and Laevitas Corp produced a rugged, functional aircraft, which they named after the individual, or Singula. A robust, yet streamlined aircraft, the Singula's design is durable and efficient. Powered by highly efficient EF2 engines, the aircraft boasts an extreme range while remaining cost effective. Of course, the EF2 engines increase the initial cost of the aircraft, but combined with planetary subsidies, the initial cost is roughly comparable to a 21st-century mid-range automobile.

This specific model was used by an unnamed civilian to deliver incriminating documents of T-Corp's exploitative business practices to a SPEcorp emissary stationed in the Badlands.

    Truly impressive. I use notes for mine but I am moving my new account to @CheeIndustries. That’s where I will make my Mechs. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from you so I decided to do the same.@spefyjerbf

    @AN0NYM0US Ah. The organization took me a few hours to begin. I started with my bio, then, with every upload, add to it. As for airplane descriptions, I type those up in a word doc.

    @AN0NYM0US I look forward to see what you build! I'm not sure what you mean by the last part of your reply though. Are you referring to the builds themselves, or how I present them (with graphics)?
