Hello again .spacers! Last night I was extremely bored and had just finished
watching Matrix: Revolutions. Three thoughts came to me:
1. I REALLY need to update the Mabrix: Vengeance project.
2. Those random doodles* I made on my science binder have some O.K. Hovership
names. 3. There needs to be some scouting hoverships.
So, I began continuing character development for Vengeance, along with a few
hovership designs (3). I waited until it was late and began working on the
Calamity* (Late at night is my best building time for some odd reason. No
distractions maybe?).

Interesting design, but it looks like it’d fly better upside-down. You’ve got
twice as many hoverpods on top as you do on the bottom. I mentioned this
problem previously to someone else who posted an original hovership design, and
the response was basically that we don’t know how the hoverpods work, so there’s
no way to know if they have a push or pull effect. I’m currently watching
Revolutions, and judging from the way the Hammer behaves during Niobe’s
pipe-run, it’s clear that they have a push effect (giganormous amounts of
electricity pumping out of the bottom side to prevent it from smashing into a
wall after exiting a pipe at full speed, one hoverpod getting crunched off
causing that portion of the ship to impact where the hoverpod used to be, etc.).
The topside hoverpods appear to be there in case the ship has to do a
barrel-roll, to act as bumpers during a quick ascent, and to help center the
ship during a run through tight spaces. As neat as the rest of the design is, I
believe your hoverpod placement would result in the tail dragging along the
ground. A matching pair on the underside of the tail would look great.

| (...) Thanks for the reply! Anyway, about the hoverpods. I'm missing two, the last ones I need.(Well, my younger brother drew on one with permanent marker, which I'll Braso off). Hopefully I'll have pics of the tweaked hovership before the week (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
