Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0 | Original Universe: Transport I thought I'll post some WIP of a transport I'm working on. It's an atmospheric fighter, wich is being used to transport supplies, vehicles and soldiers to the battlefield. The cargo will be hold underneath the plane, in a drop ship like the ones from the space marines in W40k (another shape, but the same funcionality). Critique and comments are welcome  |

Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0 | Thanks Well, I haven't thought about that (I'll be a terrible engineer ^^). The lights are supposed to be turbines, so the transport can maneuver like the old harrier. I put the ones on the canopy so the thrust is distributed equaly. I think I'll move them to the bottom of the fighter, behind the cockpit. I'm still not shure what to do with the top of the fighter (especially the turbine). Anyone got some suggestions? |

Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0  | Hold on, you called it a fighter twice in a row. It is definitely a transport, isn't it? To be honest, it does have more of an interceptor type vibe to it than a freighter, but then if it's atmospheric then it can hardly be bulky and box shaped as they often are in scifi. What to do with the top... well you could add some stuff like running lights, signage and flaps on the wings just to give it a slightly real world feel. |

Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0 | Thanks for all the comments and the critique  Took some time, but I've moved the cokpit a bit, the lights shouldn't be distracting to the pilots any more (the cokpit will be seated by 2 pilots, like in today's fighters. I've also added some flaps to the transport. Next I'll add some to the front wings. |
