Now all we need is a server on which to take the Fafnir on a rampage.

In concordance with FC tradition, that will never happen.

I have a little rinky-dink thing I run off of my other comp, though it's had up to 4 people on at a time and not been horrible. I'd have no qualms putting on the FC pack and running that, though if no one's interested that's OK.

So is it possible to easily flip a model or does everything have to be symmetrical?

For the guns symmetrical.

Light rotary cannon array. Only drew one angle but there's not much detail.

Nothing new today, been at an interview.
But I have come up with a name for the tank: HT-9 Leviathan
Two reasons, I like the idea of having Fafnir and Leviathan, because you know I name absolutely fucking everything after megaman.
Oh and the tank's pretty damn big, so it fits.
Now all I nee is a helicopter call Harpuia and something called Phantom, and perhaps Atlas or Siarnaq.
Oh wait, Atlas, I should make that.

We could just go all Norse and go with things like Loki, Slepnir, Heimdall, Freyr, etc.
Or we could give them indecipherable alphanumerical designations.

I could supply owl names that are cool from owl media.

I am thinking on calling the big artillery gun Sigurd, but that's about it for Norse.

I have a VTOL quad engine scout design, but it'll have to be blocked up because I originally designed it for Tiel's RTS.
Atlas?
E: Also I can make a blockier version of
this if you're interested in it. There's also the Peregrine with its new legs

Atlas is a bomber I was supposed to make a while ago but wasn't able to, it's more possible now.
As for the VTOL don't worry I've got the design for the Gadfly's big brother somewhere.
But as for mechs that'll be it for a while, need to get some other stuff done, namely the Atlas (which will actually have a use now) and this other VTOL.
