A little informative brochure. I haven't seen this on an unbroken monitor yet, I'm kinda curious as to how bad off I really am...

Let the game of "guess what little piece of garbage this was inspired by" begin.

Uncanny.

How exactly does a parasite fighter work?

[Turnsky]

like a remora i suppose.... or a mozzie

it's a harrassment fighter.... right?

[Stryke 9]

No. "Parasite fighter" is a term for a little fighter built to be launched from a bomber. The Air Force actually made one of those things (sometime during WWII, I believe), and since it was the real name, it worked for me.

And yeah. One of those... thingies.

Everything you make resembles a tool of some sort. Build a hammer ship

[Stryke 9]

Hammer is too obvious. I do stuff that looks kinda cool, but that not everyone will recognize right off the bat.

And not every ship has been a tool. Some of the stuff has been even more obscure, and I did make a few things off the top of my head.

make a ship that looks like a belt sander.

[Stryke 9]

I think I did a mining drone that looks like one at some point, actually. Think the belt was a tread.

I would have thought...

[Visionism]

Heh...Yeah that occured to me too but I wouldnt call that a tool exactly. Wimmin's 'tools' don't count - you can't do enough damage with em.

That's a bit of a stretch. Hammer head, yeah, but not any hammer I've ever seen...

See, this is where the problem is. Everything pretty much looks like something or other, so most of the time comparisons are gonna abound if you go looking for 'em. Hell, the most shapeless ship I had I posted a few months ago, someone thought it looked like a vise clamp...

[Visionism]

I suppose its a step up from Homeworld fans who seem to think its a good idea to have a ship that looks like a banana.

Uh, that would be me, hence my tool point
