But how will you know they're not lying about not knowing?

Because they'll have several girls in each arm already?

Reminds me of that scene from Top Gun where he takes a flash photograph of the guy in the MiG.

This ship is indeed well done, but I will be truly impressed when you will put it in game and let people fly this beauty.
Otherwise, it will be just another E-Wing model.

That's glorious, Brand. I still support the old E-Wing for the sake of nostalgia, but I believe this bird would easily tear it to ribbons!

Should FotG implement manual landings (as in Diaspora), will the struts on the wing act as actuators so as to decrease the dihedral and reduce the required landing gear length? I believe someone might have asked this question earlier.

That's what I originally planned them to be, and given some work it could be functional.

Correction. Ye Old E-Wing can (and should) bite the dust. But it seems everyone else has said that already... :nervous:

I should know this...and I'm pretty sure I've heard the answer at least once before, but I can't seem to remember:

How does the cockpit open in the E-Wing?

Thaeris, I've never seen anyone flip flop their opinion so much as you, you should consider running for political office.  You hate it, you love it, back and forth =P

Anyways, update time


As for the E-Wing cockpit, on the original model the top laser has to be removed for it to open.  I added a couple lips to either side of the cockpit, with the intention that this one's cockpit slides forward.

I never once said I hated it. I just tend to hold onto established designs... (The wing actuators got me for this one...) By the way, is it still 11.2m long or was it lengthened?

so the nose is gonna be final?

could you make some more variations of the nose?

somehow i miss the layer from the x-wing nose on the nose of the ewing...maybe you can add a slight residue of that layer to the ewings nose to make it more familiar to the x-wing?

also i don't like the cannons that much. they seem pretty basic.

but apart from that it looks really awesome! can't wait to fly and kick some imperial butt.

Well as part of it being a successor to the X-Wing, I wanted to keep the lines a little bit neater, it is supposed to be more advanced and I figured that could be one thing I could play up.  Also, being as it's used by a real government and not a bunch of rebels who hide them in swamps and jungles, I wanted to keep it cleaner as well.

It's 3500 polies.

And it's 11.15m long
