The Turtoise

[Highlad]

So I sat down tonight with the aim of building an awesome space cruiser. I ended up making this instead... I will let you be the judge.

I want to see this thing fly.....

I want to see this thing fly.....

Haha, I'm sure I could make it fly. Its got the largest rover wheels as its wheels, so I would have to swap them out. But besides that, The COM is in the right place as is the COL. I might get round to converting it tomorrow

I second this.

[Majorjim!]

I want to see this thing fly.....

Me three!

At present it looks a bit melancholy. I love the shape, just strut the living daylights out of it and stick it on top of a MONSTER launcher!

[Highlad]

I'm in the process of developing the design for flight.

Its looking.... Promising.

Yaaayy progress

[Claw]

Epic!

My goodness how I love this game.

Nice job.

[ScriptKitt3h]

This ship.... is amazing. Now add more boosters! (That may actually work, from my past experience launching large, oddly-shaped craft.)

[GusTurbo]

This awesome, I can't wait to see it fly!

[Rune]

I don't expect it to. The way the hull is shaped, you have an amazing aerodynamic momentum trying to keep you in the ground, proportional to speed. Eventually it deforms the forward landing gear, it starts to swivel and proceeds to crash and burn no matter how much you strut it, right?

Rune. Now IF you flew it upside down... that would be interesting.

[Fleb]

Keep at it, and one day you will be exploding at the end of the runway! A day to be proud of for sure!

[9t3ndo]

Maybe its easier to take Jet's and make a VTOL

You sick puppy! You know what happens with turtoises when they're upside down! :-|
