it will take a LONG time before there's any 305. over 5 years, real life. the 304 is good. also, creating a 305 means:
-new bridge
-new tech, more wankier
-new corridors
-new VFX for the model, "305 through hyperspace", "305 in orbit over planet", "304 entering/exiting hyperspace", its gonna be costly you know. 304 saves a ton of money

In terms of this thread, me stopping that debate is well within my rights, no im not god, nobody is, but i can say when a relgious debate is so far off the topic of this thread that it needs to stop. Defend Christianity all you like, but not here.
Now, all that being said, I do agree that we should not argue this here. However, the simple answer, and one which both sides would do well to follow, is for neither side to bring it up or allude to it at all. I would never, ever, have brought this up had aAnubiSs not made that casual (and condescending) remark about religion. Basically, we should all just try and watch what we say. No one (I hope) wants to invite trouble.
Now then...back to ships!

I agree that never bringing up religion would be good idea, i have been incredibly careful up until this point, im in the minority and i accept that. If there was one thing that would push me out of GW, it would be these kind of debates ending up in threads like these.sigpic

HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!
To continue on our discussion about fighters, I made a mix between a fighter and a cargo-ship. It's rather a one-man ship separated into 3 rooms : control-room, living-room and space-lock/exit.
It's nicknamed the "Lightbulb".
I half 'like it", half "It's ugly". help me find good ideas....La vie est une tragédie - Tout le monde meurt à la fin.

In fact those arms are also meant to protect the cockpit from collisions or direct hit. So I wanted them to be quite close. They can even close completely when the ship is in auto-pilot (and the pilot is doing something else in the living room :sleeping, reading, cleansing,....)
The solutions I have thought about :
- the arms can rotate around the axis of the ship (because they support the secondary thrusters, projectile weapons and missiles). A bit complicated...
- the pilot seat can rotate too inside the cockpit (around the axis and back-and-forth (so that the pilot can access it))
- the pilot rely heavily on sensors that display informations directly on the interior of the bulb. Imagine something close to the Dart display (while semi-transparent)
Do you think it would help?La vie est une tragédie - Tout le monde meurt à la fin.

Aside from that, i take it it will tow cargo pods?
For the cargo, 3 solutions are available :
- put all you can in the living-room
- there is a set of mechanical arms (like the ones used by Dr Octopus in Spiderman, or the machines in Matrix) to grab & move the cargo.
I have not yet drawn them..
- a beam device like the one used by the Wraith or the Asgard in "Thor's Chariot". It dematerialize objects and store them as "energy signatures". For contraband, it's the best way to not meddle in the affair of your employer...La vie est une tragédie - Tout le monde meurt à la fin.
