Uhh... If it's lemon sized it may be a tough deal. I'd have to see the plane in question before I can make a judgement.

i gotta see if i can make my accidental plane have a VTO rig as well

We have finished work on a new light destroyer.

KINGFISHER

It has a top speed of 131mph, making it faster than any airship currently available. It also turns very quickly due to its construction, so many systems had to be automated to allow all the crew to be strapped into seats and not have their necks broken from the extreme g-forces. Unfortunately, we had to sacrifice lift, shielding and weaponry for the extra speed, but it can still hold its own in combat.

Best used in packs of 4, using hit-and-run or kiting tactics.

Somewhere around this size:

I'm planning to upgrade some of the Lemon air units with VTO rigs so the navy can use them. We'd be more than happy to buy whatever we can use

When will this speed race end? I dunno lol. But, alright, time to build something f a s t e r

PELICAN

A heavy cargo airship designed for hauling large amounts of freight over long distances. It can travel at a stable 71mph, but has a very wide turning radius and mediocre vertical thrust, so keep that in mind when flying the ship.

Replace the small GEO blocks in the centre with any resource block needed. Remember to replace the GEO blocks once done, as they are important for keeping the airship stable.

EDIT: Fixed turning issue, all of the rear turning fans were pointing the same way.

not enough space

Hello once again.

I've been considering joining the Duck Republic since of the sudden aggressiveness of the Kebabs and leaving the Lemons.
I might actually do it, but i'll have to leave SFS and TAC as well.

I will also mention @☣VΣИΩM☣ (hopefully that actually pings correctly) and @WhitePaw2002 in case they are interested with the Duck Republic.

EDIT: i have my reasons for pinging those two in particular.

Greeting Duck Republic! We give you a gift:



It should be small enough to fit with any battle strategies your Navy may have. It's also amphibious. Feel free to modify this ship to your needs.

Glory to the Ducks!

An announcement after the controls and hover update:

Due to the new dampening system that hovers have, all our airships will have reduced vertical movement speed. Most of them still have an acceptable speed, but some, notably the Pelican and Moonbeam, can only move at about 5ft/s. This will be fixed in further revisions of the airships and in new airships.

All airships which are property of the Duck Republic (and any airships which are designed by me) will use this control scheme:

Please note that PageUp/PageDown has been rebound to LeftShift/LeftCtrl. All existing control schemes which contain Shift or Ctrl as part of their keybinds, e.g. the default Aeroplane control scheme, will be affected, so remember to edit them. From my experiments, Shift and Ctrl will still operate functions which can only have one key assigned as long as the required key is selected first, e.g. Shift will still operate propellers if it is selected first when binding the keys.

Eventually, I will update all snapshots to include the required control schemes when the tech is loaded, for now you would need to update them every time they are loaded.
