Today I want to show you a design I came up with during some lessons. Yea, that's right, some lessons.
So, here we go.
This is the core. This is what I call an 'Engine'. It's a simple structure that almost anyone can do who has Tier 3 and Tier 2 Thrusters.
It's really simple and I've tried a few designs but none of the worked so far. As I'm writing this article I may have found the perfect one, but I won't show you that, as I CAN'T phisically show you. It's not done yet.
As you can see on the picture above it's a 4x4x3 multiblock structure that is simple, easy and gives a lot of thrust. If you want to, you can leave now and experiment with it. If not, then read on.
This picture shows where to put the thrusters. The first one is a Tier 3 and the back one is a Tier 2. The tier 2 is placed 1 block (The slanted one) back from the end and the Tier 3 one is placed on the front, on the slanted block.
Here are what I thought to be the 'Touching Points'. They are where the engine will touch with the body of the flyer. They are quite simple and well placed.
Here's a shot from above and here you can see the placements. They give the thing a good balance. Or not. You may want to readjust those.
So, here you can see a placement that I has come up with. This is a kind of wing that has 2 engines. The thing that came to my mind right now is you can put one more of these on top of this one and mirror it with the body. That may be useful. But that is a LOT OF CPU! Don't try this unless you are at least level 30-ish.
This is what I meant. You can mirror this up and then you have a kind of spaceshuttle that is epic and cool and awesome. It may be fun, I just need to get more CPU to do it. Where you might stick your weapons? That is a different question.
This is the flyer now done. This does not turn out very well. I didn't even test it if I'm right because I was dumb and put it right next to the edge. I wanted 2 Aerofoils on the 2 side engines so that it can get some air, but it couldn't be done. I was dumb. Yes.
This is another one, this time the engines are on top of each other. (BTW I do 4 engined designs cuz I only have the resources for those 4...) This I wanted to fly SO HARD but at last, my CPU got into the game and said: 'FUCK NO! You can't build a flyer that you like! You haven't done that in a while and I WON'T ALLOW YOU!
So here it is. I didn't give other perspectives on the flyers because I didn't want you to copy them and use them. They are quite mediokre and I'm trying hard to make this modular flyer a thing.
Whenever I find a design that works and can win actual games I'll update you all.
