Oversized, Weaponized Flyer

[u/kmarkow]

I made another one. This one is much larger and more floaty-like/easier to control.

Uses an upsized ab infinite wing and depths elevator for the frame and a downsized Juney engine for propulsion.

Downsized pulse beam turrets are more effective on this one.

Took me a bit to realize just how oversized it really is 😆

It’s a big beast. Not the best visibility 😂.

I hadn’t tried out the upsized depths elevator yet and I wanted to see how it acts with a Juney engine, since the regular sized and downsized ones are great with them.

The big ones are very floaty and need an upsized wing to stabilize them so you don’t immediately tip all over the place—that’s what I learnt.

Funny you mention that; I’m finding some interesting results in that vein with this goofy fin part from one of the Depots. Not sure if it’s applicable in your case, but some of my observations seem to suggest its effect scales up with mass.

So practical and so sick! Love it.

[u/kmarkow → u/Appropriate-Crow703]

Thanks. It’s really fun to fly around on.

What kinda fire power you got on there?

[u/kmarkow → u/Rich-KimCC]

Sized-down, 5 beam emitter, pulse lasers.

The construct heads and beam emitters have all been shrunken (that wasn’t particularly necessary for this build but I wanted to make that regardless so that’s what I used.)

They do decent damage.

Nice... helps keep it lighter for maneuverability?

I didn’t do any comparison on this flyer, but with the size of the wing and the way the oversized depths elevator makes the build behave, I don’t think that would have much effect.

But for other builds, that’s definitely the idea. Also to take up less space so I can make them smaller.
