Unnamed Ship Nose Variations
🕑 Added 2020-10-06 00:31:39 +0000 UTCFor a long time I've intended to add some "flying craft" to the list of vehicles I've made.
I'm avoiding saying aircraft because it's essentially an atmospheric capable thrustercraft / spaceship, and I'm avoiding saying spaceship because if you don't have Space Exploration installed it would be limited to flying in the air.
Regardless of the classification, this thing is based on the crashed ship at the start of Factorio freeplay. I've blocked out the rough shapes and it ended up looking like this (I haven't done any details yet).
The crashed ship's nose is completely destroyed, so that gives me some freedom to design something that fits the rest of the craft. I've had some fun making a lot of variations, but these are my top 8.
Does anyone have any favourites?

A feels like a science vessel, with its rounded nose. C, E, and H look aggressive enough for military uses. It sounds like they're all intended to be the same scale, but the cockpit style canopies make some feel smaller, like they're only designed to wrap around one or two humanoids. I like the armor on D. Feels like blinders on a war horse.

You could use it in an asteroid field but you'd need to drive it personally, there will be some other capabilities that I don't want to announce yet. With space trains it would be nice to design something with a space theme, and I will if I have enough time.
