@BeunT Thank you! I definitely agree, for a “light” attack gunship it’s not very light. There’s a single layer of heavy armor protecting the underside of the cockpit, rationale being to protect the pilots from small arms fire. In hindsight, it’s a thin-skinned aircraft anyways and if you’re taking enough fire for the heavy armor to matter, you probably have a lot more to worry about.

A single-seat version would put more workload on the pilot but is definitely doable. I might try and chop it up in a couple days when I have my computer, as well as find ways to cut down on weight overall.

Nice cockpit, especially like the holographic gun sight. Though this could do with being about 40 tons lighter tbh (could have a much smaller/cheaper single-seat version)

@Connn911 In the 11th image there’s a spaceframe that can carry 20 passengers or two very small rovers. I’m holding off on publishing it because it’s in excess of 40k pcu and I want to see if I can bring down that number and reduce the amount of sub grids. That aircraft is pressurized and can fly in space and atmosphere.

I wasn’t planning on making anything new, but @Terrance Hood’s suggestion of a Chinook in this style was intriguing and I might look into creating an atmosphere-only variant.

Very pretty

When will see that larger troop/cargo transport?

I'd like to see a CH-47 Chinook type craft in this style. I think that'd be neat.

Thank you! Expect more in the future.

Gonna just say it, this is easily the most underrated blueprint I have ever seen. Dude wrote an OPERATIONS MANUAL for it. Bravo!
