With all the new technology being displayed here recently, we have decided
to unveil some of our latest creations, lest they appear derivative.
The above is a gunship that ended up being geared toward the Eastern Block,
due to the colors of the materials available. It fills a roll similar to
that of the Hind gunship of today, this craft carries two turrets sporting
two high-velocity cannons each. The ship also has a crew of two (pilot and
gunner) and can transport an elite insertion team of five soldiers into
combat.
The second is a small fighter craft, built as a test-bed for triple-winged
technology.

Finally, we are in the process of developing an extreme long-range
exploration vessel for the PCS research divisions, and have so-far completed
the engine/research section.

Also, this is the first time I have tried to do linked images in a post

same as in other people’s messages, I appologize if it doesn’t work right.

The GA to the rescue! Thanks
In what manner do you think I should beef up that tail? were you thinking
thicker? or more greebed? My original plans had a vertical fin at the end of the
tail, but I would have had to make the ship wider, which ended up looking funny
to me.

If the rotating thrusters are supposed to be used for lift, it should balance around that point. And it really doesn't look (...) (21 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
