The Fighter is, however, a fighting aircraft. I didn't want to have too much content on secondary features, such as spacecraft, which probably won't become important, at least for now.
As for that giant drone-thing, an airport or cruiser would be much more efficient, and safer. Nevertheless, experimental equipment, weapons and vehicles did occur, so why not have a giant drone-cruiser?

That would be great if it was intended to be a cruiser; but it's a carrier. The two classes of vessels have very different designs and purposes – Cruisers are often used as escorts and scouts (and have limited room for aircraft), while a Carrier serves as a mobile base of operations and capital ship (has room for lots of aircraft).

I misread your posts and misinterpreted the video, I thought we were only talking about cruisers. But you're right in all your points. Personally, I feel a drone-carrier would work, but it'd need quite a lot of fuel to sustain flight and the weight of other vessels. But it fits the thread's theme, so it's OK.

As for space battleships, I wasn't able to figure out how big guns would work in outer space. Would the shells miss, and just orbit until melting in the atmosphere? Or, would the distance between orbiting vessels be so vast that it'd be basically impossible to match the speed and movement of the target? Space-based artillery doesn't seem plausible, let alone accurate. I will need more homework to figure this out, unless I'm not smart enough.

I will wait one more day, just in case, West, and in case anyone changes their mind.

Oh, and I will be leaving this Wednesday, driving to Vancouver and back. May be gone for up to two days, due to possible snowy issues.



On a slightly different note, I just noticed the prologue was missing in my Mass Effect fanfic in FanFiction. I just updated the prologue and first two chapters. And, in Wattpad, Chapter 1 was blank, so I updated it to actually have the chapter. Not that it matters, but I thought it was kinda amusing.
