Presumably it's useful in the same way as the Orion's runway and Hecate wings - you can hold ships ready for immediate launch after a subspace jump. It increases your launch bandwidth when entering a hazardous situation.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.  The launch bay is fine, what I want to know is why the runway itself is so long.



It looks like you could cut out the stretch that has those five rectangular bits on the underside without losing any functionality.

I'm talking about the runway too. If you shortened it, you would not then be able to hold as many ships ready for immediate launch after a subspace jump (as in Mystery of the Trinity), reducing your launch bandwidth when entering a hazardous situation.

It was part of the original model and I do try to keep major items such as that close to their original dimensions as possible when upgrading. You would have to ask the creator of the original for an explanation as to it's purpose. Personally I hated it on the original model but now I kind of like it.

Hey, in keeping with Battuta's concept, we could add a bunch of dockpoints to the upper (and possibly ventral) surface of the runway and have fighters docked on it ready for quick-launch.  It would require the addition of a series of non-rearm dockpoints to all fighters on the ventral, positioned so it appears to be resting on its lowest extremities.

You can do that (the Dio in BP has a bunch of external racks to carry drones so it can just pop them off and into combat), but the way :V: did it in FS2 also works if you're starting the mission from that position - just plop the fighters right there at mission start.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

...Ahem.

I really, really love the details in and around the cockpit. The three Vasudans were the first thing that caught my eye when I loaded the model.

I really like that fighter's shape and the armor plates along the engines; it almost looks like some like of alien animal from Vasuda Prime.  :yes:

The cockpit interior with the two Vasudan's is really cool. Keep it up!  :D
A small voice in my head tells me they are have followed us here in the Milky Way. They follow us until we are dead at their feet. We are nomands of the stars, no longer the race that was loved by the Great Elders. My name is Kyral and this is my story of survival.

There is no sanctuary for us, in this Universe. We will fight the Terror for one last time on this Shining World. May the Transcendent judge us kindly in the Life Stream.

Yes the Dagger really has done a kick ass job of the last couple of assets he has upgraded for us and is now a very much welcome addition to the team.
