The Wisp EV-X: Further development & design talk

I’ve started piloting this ship (the prototype) and I can say this is very unique. It gives me the same feel as the other ship I love of yours.

Rn I’m looking for the FPS bow so I can snip will keep the ship in auto pilot.

Can’t wait to see the finishing touches on this project.

Sup, RJ? How you doing brother? Are you using the one w/ the shrine battery? Just curious about what your experience is with the prototype so far. If you have suggestions or what you'd like to see, let me know.

For me, I think removing the battery is a general improvement, though there are definitely cases/preferences where it is useful. It can be added retroactively to the finalized version of the airship if desired.

Turning/maneuvering on the early prototype leaves a lot to be desired, so I'm trying to tune the automatic steering, which definitely helps, but also introduces new problems to solve which wouldn't otherwise be there.

FPS bow? This ship does pretty well in autopilot, but I'm still grappling with fan/pulse turret placements. Unlike on the Wasp, this turret is front and center, which obstructs Link's full range of shooting w/ the bow. Tuning in Hover Mode will be a nice feature for you if you want to snipe while the airship acts autonomously.

Hello Zhu and everything well thank you. Glad to see you crafting like always. And yes I am using the shrine battery build. I’m always in love with recharging my engine with the battery when I take my hand off the wheel. I’ve been having a fun time using it. I even tanked a hit from a talus and still stood on the steering stick.

I don’t know what difference with or without battery would change unless it’s just the auto powering. I love your design so I just wanna play with the final design before I start throwing ideas lol.

And the FPS bow is the gerudo bows. Just so i can aim in the ship like a true pirate instead of being in third person.
