@Treadmill103 Feel free to try her out! The prototype have full atmospheric flight capabilities now. She's still sluggish as hell, although that may change in later updates.
@Treadmill103 The thing is, the saucer is never meant to be alien... Yes it was inspired by them but under its lunar titanium hull lies a human heart. Halos would be useful for a true antigrav, I'm sure, but the thing is: this saucer is not. The three turbofans are the lifting engines that allowed it true VTOL flight. Granted, lights like that can be used for things like the main thruster and/or its exoatmospheric drives, but I think that's about it. Although... now I might make a "true" flying saucer based on this (or a similar) hull after its release that is set in a further out future built by a crazy inventor, and that will be a true antigtav.
@spefyjerbf One quick question: I did't quite understand what you meant by "accents"... Do you mean coloring or detailing by that? I'm a complete noob when it comes to something like that so I have no idea.
@spefyjerbf Thanks; what I'm trying to build is basically a mixture of 1950s / "tailfin era" automobile designs, a flying saucer, art deco aesthetics, and a Vol Noor...
@Yourcrush Er... This is still supposed to be a military aircraft first & foremost, so too many lights would most likely break the immersion... But I guess I'll see what I can do.
Part of me wonders if you are an Aboriginal Australian, and part of me wonders if this came from Nationstates, given their "default" flag is this...
Anyways, cool flag!
Just realized who this account is... Welcome back!
Like seriously, something goes in my mind like "wait I've seen that account a few years back before I had my own", and then realized that, yup, it is.
Just realized one thing: The LUNA system can usher in a new age of aerostats, and perhaps even starships and steam/dieselpunk fliers (a.k.a. flying battleships and carriers, e.g. @WalrusAircraft). Yeah I know that the Orbidyn is a small (Star Citizen-esque) starship in its own right, but I mean the larger ones, like the Hornet's Domain and the Seraph, or those warships of @Ephwurd (*sniff* may solar winds be always on his side *sniff*). Like seriously, this design allows larger ships to roll to one side to unleash a powerful broadside to enemies on a different altitude, or to pitch up or down to quickly increase/decrease its altitude.
Just don't delete your account. Meko or Trolman, it means the same to us, for you'll always be remembered as one of the finest shipwrights of the site. We'll patiently wait for your return. May the ocean current to always be on your side, and may your next chapter in life to be ever brighter.
Godspeed.
@UAVMaker I mean, in the movie... So yeah, Alta said something along the lines of "This better blow up, This is massive...", and given how it is destroyed in the movie...
Is the nose a bit too long? Or is this meant to be slightly different from the model shown in the pictures? Anyways, this plane looks like a huge puppy and... can I pet him?
A fuselage art larger than most aircrafts... Yeah I know what "fuselage art" means here, but I'm just too snarky to actually notice the difference between "art on a fuselgae" and "art made out of fuselage"...

@Spefyjerbf
Yes, I'll try my damndest to put an impulse drive on this thing after the controls are figured out.
@spefyjerbf Thanks.

+1@Yourcrush Thanks? But I still need comments on the designs though...
+1@YourCrush
+1@ArcturusAerospace Hokay...
@ArcturusAerospace What?
You. Should.
Also, is that weird Mechanicus "Archaeopter" a true ornithopter or just a traditional VTOL with folding membrane wings?
FIRST!
Part of me wonders if you are an Aboriginal Australian, and part of me wonders if this came from Nationstates, given their "default" flag is this...
Anyways, cool flag!
The front gear looks a bit... small...
Haven't you promised the previous one is the last one? Hmmm?
No worries bro, nice paintjob!
What. Does. "Baff" mean?
+1Just realized who this account is... Welcome back!
+3Like seriously, something goes in my mind like "wait I've seen that account a few years back before I had my own", and then realized that, yup, it is.
@Noname918181 Execute order 66?
@Milanesa np!
@CenturiVonKikie It will be finished soon. Most likely in a few days tops.
+1I'm now building my first tailless flying wing, the CCTW-A-A-01 "Nightstalker", with codes modified from this plane. Thanks!

+2The programming on the primary turrets is ingenious! Holy. Shit.
I'll make sure to give credit when I build my own battleship.
@EliteArsenals24 The point is that the shot dispersion decreases as more bullets are fired...
+2The paint style sorta reminded me of some older builds from @spefyjerbf. Not bad.

One of those that made Tread's designs look sane... Nice job still!
Just realized one thing: Did Hyperion make this thing?
+2"People of the Commonwealth, do not interfere. Our intentions are peaceful. We are the Brotherhood of Steel."
+2Ad Victoriam, Sentinel.
The Luftwaffle to combat American flapjacks, eh?
+4Other than it's not really "Exoatmospheric" per se, not too much of an issue... Also, VERY cool design.
+1*sonar ping intensifies*
+4@SledDriver Yeah, we will make it through. Let's be hopeful, for it's the only thing we can do.
@SledDriver Alive? That's the best thing one can hope to be in this bleak year...
Hey Sled, good to see ya!
Hey Sled! Nice seeing ya!
Good to see ya again, Zhara!

Holy...
