Believe me, it's not that simple, I'd be rolling in adf.ly money if it was.

I still retain a fair amount control over how it plays, and I can also use things like the variable weapons system to give it a quality not possessed by other vehicles, I mean I would say Fafnir is memorable, but because of the weapon system I put of it rather than the design. But that might not be obvious or even understandable to anyone whose never used it.

Good shape is definitely a starting point, but can anyone here tell me what makes a shape "good"?

Looked more like a dolphin fin to me.

What is memorable? What makes something memorable? I think the peregrine is pretty memorable and I don't think its just because I designed it myself.

You cannot define what a "good" shape is, either you have it or you don't, it more depends on how far your imagination will allow you to go designing it, if you are capable of seeing the final product.

That's why it's a pain in the ass to do, you don't usually know if it's good until someone else tell you it is or isn't, and I personally suck at seeing the final product, that's why I get people like you or cats to draw a plan up that I can follow, if I know exactly what it is supposed to look like I can replicate it almost perfectly.


I think you can define what makes a shape good, and if you could, you'd be rolling around in money. But that's a bit far from what we are on about here.

Good, memorable, and distinct are three very different concepts.

Oh, and about a wiki, FC has a section in the SMP.de wiki, but I haven't maintained it too well.

I think we should just clean out the old one.

Well I'll have to update the SMP.de one anyway, so I can just copy stuff across.

Honestly, when you're finished with the Peregrine, can you maybe make turrets?
Just for the main point of them kinda being important to have and that so far we had to use other pack's turrets?

Could you make a turret with interchangeable weapons?

Not with basic flans code. You could have it so you can craft it with different weapons though.
