Hello, .spacers, I’ve posted in .build.mecha for a while now, but this is my
first time posting here. I’ve built a ground-attack aircraft named the
“Bolt” (okay, I’m probably better at building ‘em than naming ‘em).
The cockpit has room for a pilot, weapons officer and communications officer.
It carries several big missiles, and one big gun. It’s primary role is to
take out mechs.
Here’s why I love Lugnet:
The “Bolt’s” engines were inspired by Keith Goldman’s “Lo Pan” and Soren
Roberts’ “Voodoo Child”. The technic-tube gatling gun was originally Mark
Neumann’s (although I think the idea to mount it on one of the AT-TE ball
joints is mine). And I never even attempted landing gear until I saw some
excellent examples right here in .space. This forum is unbeatable for
inspiration.
So, PLMKWYT

I love this thing! So many excellent angles. I am impressed that you managed to
use such a large canopy on a pretty small ship. And I don’t care what those
other folks say, I like the long gun, it gives the imression that it snipes the
mechs from a distance.

| (...) Thanks for your comments, Dan. Glad you liked it! And it's kind of a relief to hear from someone who didn't think the cannon should be shorter... (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
