Thunderbirds? Thunderhawk
They are 26*26 metres square, so would still be tiny BUT do not be discouraged, I have thought of a way to add at least the Ork fightas and bombas in.
The Tau manta is much bigger at around 150m wingspan i think.....so it would still be tiny.
ie: A simulation/tournament which only uses fightas and bombas (explaining the size diffrence by it being on a planet or asteriod/zoomed in) and I will try and make a tournament system for the fightas. By modifying the simulator system (kinda "Pick yor ship" and fight against opponents e.g. Deffang da Bomba (who randomly picks from a selection of bombas) and if you beat them you get a set amount of credits or tokens that allow you to buy spechal mekboy upgrades to your ship e.g. MadBoyz Engin Adjustmant (adds a percentage bonus to your speed e.g. 10% and makes the system BIGREDBUTTON last for longer)
Also in reference to the Tyranids, stayed up for 5 hours last night and i think I know how to do them.....I will try and make the back "fins" animated so they look like they are "swimming" and use engines with complete transparent fire with no smoke so they look like they are actually swimming, and the weapons are a secret (shhh).
The regenerating hull I think I know how to do if not I'll ask Silent or Lazy for help, but I think I can do it.
(the auto regen will be a system that is passively working and regenerates a percentage of damage taken immediately (e.g.10% of 500 damage) and the rest over the time of the sqr root of damage inflicted e.g. Sqr(40)=6 seconds which is damn slow for a small amount of damage (but I might change it to the Cube root therefore ^3(40)=3 seconds if its too slow), this will be also implemented in the Necron fleet later on with the Necrodermis.
BUT I have thought of the obvious flaw that the ship will not die as for example the Stalker class has say 60000 hp it gets hit for 75000 the immediate regen would add 7500 hp to the ship keeping it eternally alive even when dead, so the obvious thing would be to say (PSEUDO CODE ALERT
) "if Indamage>remaininghealth then ship=dead" where remaining health should be found (its shown on screen so it must be stored somewhere, I will find it!).
(Also I think that I am a bit obsessed with this now, as I am dreaming of it.....so if this affects me negatively like making me lose sleep again or making me very anxious and OCD (I have started walking in the centre of pavement stones again and counting my steps) I will stop doing it for a few days at most a week, this is all IF I get overstressed with this and IRL stuff)
