The beam velocity on the radion reactor is a bit too low for stable orbital flight - we've talked about that on the LAF-12 reactor units. Also, the beam cannons can be better at ground attack if there's a slight spread to them - basically, a particle thrower, if you may.
@TMach5 And we still have a B-2 bomber that somehow can be used for both dogfighting and strafing. Don't worry, I'll tag you once I upload the plane - it's just not a challenge entry anymore.
@TMach5 It's just my original plan for the CAT1 entry turned out to be a discount B-2 Spirit that have quite some problems reaching the 300-part lower limit.
The picture link seems to be broken. Pretty sure whatever that discord link works better than the postimage one. Also, in case anyone's wondering, I don't even know what discord is.
Pretty sure the site can't really directly use that  link, and have to rely on the one that resizes it. But IIRC that discord link worked without hassle.
@Skylerthedrawer As in "story" or "plotline". So basically he meant he's gonna give us a glimpse into his own fictional universe when he reaches 1,500 points.
@Greggory005 Just realized its because I used the wrong ####ing link that it got resized. The original-sized version of the picture can be found on this link. Not sure which version is better, though.
Also, so what's the name of the picture site you're using?
@Skylerthedrawer I'm pretty sure it's lore reveal... In case anyone's wondering, Greg has basically written an entire novel featuring his various builds and the like.
@Greggory005 Also, a new revision to that picture Apparently for some reason I downloaded a resized image. Now fixed.
Also, the point is that I need someone to set up a basis for me to improve upon. The overall lines are great, the coloring is good, and it's through those that I even know which parts/areas required correction in the first place! So basically I might be able to fix someone else's drawing but I cannot set up a basis on my own - my hand-eye coordination is borderline nonexistent and so is my eye sight, so the only thing I can do is to try out random lines and see which one sticks!
@Greggory005 my pfp is traced gosh dang it ,this is not
Well that explains the problems about her left eye... imma slap your interpretation instead
"Slap", as in...
but its traced
So who is this lass traced from? I can see what seems to be pencil lines underneath.
And also, her left eye looks rather ...off. When you close an eye the corresponding eyebrow is supposed to move downward, and there really shouldn't be a double eyelid on the closed eye - and even then, that line shouldn't be that high - hell, for the first second I thought she had three eyes or so!
Well, anyways, this is my interpretation on what's supposed to be done, but I can't really tell if I only made it worse...
P.S. Try to make sure there aren't any extraneous lines/paint/strokes/whatever on the picture in your next drawing. There's an airbrush dot right above her right brow and there' an extraneous line extending from her bangs down to beneath her left eye in your picture.
Why would airships replace subs? I mean, they are still the most stealthy platform bar none and IIRC they'd still be better at commerce interdiction and nuclear deterrence...
@Greggory005 Spef most likely doesn't. His lores are less about actual plot and is more about what he have XML-ed to make that thing. @Treadmill103 on the other hand have written short stories about his own dieselpunk AU.
@Greggory005 Sorry for messing up your name🙇...
The internal workings of my brain seems to have a troubling resemblance to a paper shredder when it comes to names and faces... or just people in general...
Also, no, Spef and I are not talking you dying from a nuke - we know you can prolly walk that off. We're joking about his experience w/ Taylor's solution, which is commonly used to calculate the effect of nuclear bombs. So the joke is basically that whether he had been working on nukes and whether he might die from his own home-made nukes or not.
@rexzion Well, that Greg Kurozaki guy came from a world where the air is saturated w/ uranium after a nuclear holocaust so perhaps his ideas on bombs are a bit... skewed. Glorious Atom, Praise On To Thee! P.S. Yes, that's a Fallout reference, and I probably should stop speaking in references.
@Greggory005 The point is that you said a 750lb bomb can't even be called a proper bomb for it's too small... when 500lb bombs are still the mainstay.
Also, please make sure they aren't still in your hands when they go off.
@Greggory005 A 750lb bomb shown in that picture is merely a firecracker to ya? I know that the Zakaer group have already nuked Earth in your setting, but IIRC unrestricted nuclear warfare is still bad, right?
@Greggory005 Right, one thing: ever heard of the Vol Noor? For some reason I'm unconsciously making the starfighter more and more similar to its design with every revision...
@Greggory005 You should know that I wanted to build pseudo-saucers (aka saucers w/ fins and cockpits and guns and whatnot) since like seven years ago. Glad to see another guy sharing the same fetish. P.S. Did I just call my fondness for such designs a fetish? P.P.S. Yes I did.
@Greggory005 "Now"?! The implications are rather... troublesome...
Anyways, for reasons beyond me, I'm a bit too enthusiastic on tutoring others on whatever I happen to know about...
@Greggory005 You know, it's a bit lonely up there, three thousand miles above the ground... Seriously, you're like the third guy on this entire site who's interested in building fully space-capable planes, so of course I'm a bit excited to talk about what to build!
@Greggory005 On a technicality, right in the middle of where the "bullets" strike. That's why on my drive units i have them arranged in groups of four, so that the center of the drive mount is also the COT of the thruster.
@Greggory005 Not really, the impactForce and roundsPerSecond is what determines the thrust of the engine, and a higher muzzleVelocity only made the engine more stable, so there's literally nothing to do w/ the gyros. Hell, Spef had three flyers w/ this drive before we even had gyros in the first place!
@Greggory005 If the impacForce of the back row miniguns is x, set the impactForce on the front row to -2 * x. The miniguns have a natural impactForce of 10, so set the front row to -20 if you didn't set up the back row.
To insert a link, type [text](link)
@Greggory005 Try to fly with the plane, notice that it shakes a lot regardless the airspeed? That vibration is what Spef and I call the RID, and it shouldn't be there.
~ We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year! ~
@RamboJutter
Not a PC issueWell I mean my laptop starts to melt at 300...
When the number of parts are starting to catch up with the real thing...

Holy molly... So this is your take on that Riko guy's sub?
@rexzion Just sorta felt "wait I should have followed that guy a while ago" and...
Ah, the ensign remover, eh?
@TMach5 And we still have a B-2 bomber that somehow can be used for both dogfighting and strafing. Don't worry, I'll tag you once I upload the plane - it's just not a challenge entry anymore.
@TMach5 It's just my original plan for the CAT1 entry turned out to be a discount B-2 Spirit that have quite some problems reaching the 300-part lower limit.
Ultimately decided against participating, there's no point in entering something that adheres to neither the spirit nor the words of the rules.
@Greggory005 Ok...
@Greggory005 So basically some sort of skype or zoom?
@Greggory005 "it work is"? Sorry for being a grammar fanatic, again.
Have you forgotten a certain parenthesis?

@Greggory005 Seems to be some sort of "access denied".
@Greggory005 Sadly, no.
MOAR DAKKA! NEVAR 'NUFF DAKKA!! WAAAAAGGGHHH!!!
Who the hell's Ryouko?
Am I the only one who thinks the bottom one is better?
@GCPrototypes Well, of course, if merchant ships are now mostly airborne, submarines will most likely fall out of military use...

@Sovetzkyrossiya IIRC there isn't a FAB-1000, at least not one that resembles the Boom25...
@rexzion So basically Greg Kurozaki is another alias of that Greggory005 guy.
@rexzion This.
@rexzion Well, that Greg Kurozaki guy came from a world where the air is saturated w/ uranium after a nuclear holocaust so perhaps his ideas on bombs are a bit... skewed.
Glorious Atom, Praise On To Thee!
P.S. Yes, that's a Fallout reference, and I probably should stop speaking in references.
@Greggory005 Ouch. How many fingers do you still have? Five as in "two on one hand, three on the other"?
Yes, that's a StarCraft reference
