There’s also the problem of the wing droop, which I resolved right after
taking the pics, thanks to Douglas Clark’s “Dragonfly” and his mention of
rubber bands. I haven’t figured how to integrate them though, so I didn’t
bother taking new pics.

I actually found the wing droop to be quite nice - a nice change of pace.
Altho my eyes are getting acustomed to looking at studless creations, this
design is nice. The engines specifically look very cool; a convincing use of
the brown droid fighter wedge slopes.

Thanks for the compliments! I didn’t mind the wing droop terribly, but it was
due to a weak structure, not design, so I thought it best for the bricks to fix
it. I might change that though. I first came up with the engine design a while
back with this ship:

I refitted it and gave it a few more greebles for the Lightning II, and each of
my other ships should have a variant of this nacelle design.

I’m very interested in this multi-fighter project you mentioned.
|
Hopefully I’ll get some more ships done soon, but in short, I couldn’t think of
a good little backstory for my next starship, so I decided to create an entire
solar system for them. :^)
