Toscan 8-Q Fighter

Dev notes

This version is actually v2.0. My first attempt on that ship was my application to join the team back somewhere in 2003 or so. It's come a long way since then and there's still potential for improvement....

HD Remake

While this is already a remake of my initial work, it's beginning to age. I'm thinking of doing another remake, for a number of reasons.

First: The fighter has one big logical issue: How do you land and board that thing? With those vertical wings, you'd need a fairly large ladder to actually get to the cockpit and the fighter would require a pretty long landing gear in order to not fall over. All in all I picture it looking pretty goofy. So, therefore what I'm going to do is make use of the S-Foils hook and turn those vertical wings into S-foils which would fold inwards to allow landing. While I'm at it, I may as well add retractable landing gears.

    Second: Revamp the cockpit. In short: it's too big. The version in the last DSUCP has actually been shrunk down to fit the pilot. I'm thinking of remodelling the whole thing and, while I'm at it, turn it into an Active / Dynamic cockpit

Schedule? None so far. This upgrade isn't too high on my list of priorities. but I'll get to it at some point.
