MemberOvomorphJun-09-2017 5:08 AMNot sure what is going on with the forum at the minute however it seems that every other topic I click on is filled with a fair bit of negativity and trolling. I come here on a daily basis, sometimes just to read and sometimes to participate and have found all the members ( bar from a couple whom I won't name ) to be genuinely nice and intelligent people. Being a gay man myself it saddens me to see in 2017 the word ' homo' being used a couple of times! sorry for the small rant, just wanted to get this off my chest! That aside, Still great work and updates form you guys!
Just finished writing it in, and have an early-stage rough-out of it's story with regards to it's mission to the Lakota star system to investigate signs of habitable worlds. :)
As for it landing tail-first, well if Elon Musk can do it with conventional rocketry nowadays in the real-world, there's NP with such with advanced tech. :)
...gotta do some picture searching for ground vehicles that 'fit' the ALIENverse aesthetic, which isn't too hard, and also plausibly fit aboard albeit with VERY little garage-space, and can be deployable via an extensible cable-crane-lift system.
How the crew gets down to the ground, well the central shaft below the main body could plausibly have an elevator system for personnel and small/light cargo items.
The Palomino flies again!!
THIS time with a happier ending. :)
IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING
