' Wrote:But, like all bombers (or at least relatively like), they need more crew to pilot effectively... I suggest you beef up the Cutlass' cockpit space, or look like it can hold more people. Needless to say it would be a bit OORP to have only one pilot carrying all the power to take down a battlecruiser... Unless... the Border-World-Shipyards have made a revolutionary way to save up on crew space to limit casualties... That remains to be seen...
Not all bombers require more than one pilot, I believe. Notable examples are lighter and smaller bombers, like the Rhienland Snubnose and the Golden Chrysanthemums' Orchid. The existing Falcata only has one pilot, also. But, the Falcata is one of the 'light' bombers, having the 48K powerplant (even though they're not 48K any more), the same as the Kusari Bombers. The heavier bombers are the ones that require more than one pilot to fly.
Quote:Also, the dagger and the Stilleto aren't EXACTLY the same in basic shape: I have vaguely noticed that the dagger has a shorter snout, wherein the Stilleto is a niche longer...
Suffice to say, I think the Cutlass will be a great "vanilla-version" fighter... good job... Good job...:yahoo:
You're right, they're not exactly the same. However, I did try extending the nose on the Cutlass, it looks horrible, even slightly. But the rest of the body stays constant (and the Stiletto and Sabre have the same length nose)
Also, I managed to fix the texture issue with the Cutlass' cockpit. It's all proper and working now.
