You know what, maybe I should post TAC Pack R&D updates here...
Time to dust off the old, rusted RP module...
UPDATE:
Some years later, the EFF is still trying to get a hold of TAC's next payment, sending war threats over delivery cannon express mail.
The DEMA[Dark Moon Eclipse AI], the rogue TAC AI, is still yet to be seen in a while.
So the other day
Rodrigo(R&D director) and
Mason(TAC science officer) were fighting over the lack of wings without a streamlined build fashion.
We enter the
TAC R&D.
It's been a while since Diamondnife built the original R&D, and it has ever-expanded since. there is now a hex-shaped section beside it embedded within the pillar of which the TAC HQ resides on.
-----------------------
Mason: *Throwing a paper airplane* You know, the Hawkeye wings can't cut the job all the time...
Legionite: It's fine. They work fairly well as they stand.
Katherine: *Scribbling down digital notes*
Rodrigo: The industry sort of lacks wings that are taller than 2 blocks and are strong AND manuverable.
Legionite: Hmmm, that's true. Venture wings don't exactly fit the bill for durable aircraft...
Mason: Let's look at the options:
- GSO handles like, well, GSO. Cheap, yet the turning makes me want to drive my plane into the ground, literally.
- GEOCorp has no wings because they make earthmovers and not birds
- Venture wings have health equivalent to toilet paper under a monsoon
- Hawkeye wings don't handle heavy loads as well as they should in practice
- Better Future wings lack APs and have known to cause aircraft stalling.
- Space Junker wings, don't even get me started on them for quality.
- Legion wings are too unorthodox for conventional heavy use.
- Reticule Research wings lack reasonable reliability.
And then we have the more recent corporations:
- Lemon Kingdom wings are too big for small aircraft.
- Black Lab's wings almost reach the goal, but are stopped short by the same issues HE has.
- Greentech wings aren't redundant enough in design.
and NONE of them are two blocks tall!
Legionite: hmmm...
Rodrigo: What about we take some older jumbo jet designs and see what we can take from them?
Legionite: Hmmm. So basically with these two-block-tall jumbo-jet wings, we cut them like S-shapes and have them tile in a pattern like the wood floor tiles in the living quarters?
Mason: Sounds like a plan to me
Rodrigo: Now the APs though. This will restrict the application of APs on the bottom of the aircraft. :/
Legionite: Simply make a wing with a cut-out that deals with that!
Mason: still, releasing all of that unused TAC R&D stuff to the public like that wasn't that smart of an idea
Katherine: *Is already at work dismantling existing jumbo jet wing schematics*
Katherine: here!
Katherine: oops, wrong one
Katherine: Here!
Legionite:
Mason: This is going to end up expensive, isn't it...
Rodrigo: Gotta pay the AI
