Wolflaynce Review:
The Good:
Gorgeous. Reminds me of a Star Trek Klingon D7's without the long neck boom and flying backwards. And it glows! I give it a 4 out of 5 on the Glowy meter.*
The docking mechanism is really interesting for the shuttle. Brings you right up to the flight deck. And I like the shuttle design that it’s my go to scooter if I want to transport things.
I also like how you did that door hatch. Very cool to have this sliding slab of armor tied to the logic. Though I am curious how you were able to switch the direction of the rails for opening/closing? I watched it, but still haven’t figured out how it works.
The Bad:
Which end was the front? And where’s the door? Took me some time to figure that out. Not really a bad thing, as you were going for a unique shape.
The other bad is it’s unfurnished inside. Which is good as it allow the customer to redecorate from the clean inside lines.
The Ugly:
Lost the door and the shuttle in hostile territory. I would assume that due to explosion damage from missiles bleed through the shields. Dunno if that holds with the new HP update. However, it was a pain getting a new door it. I eventually just removed all the blocks except for the core and docking, then put the door blocks back to get it to work properly.
Overall, I rate this 5 stars. This has become my main salvage ship, so much I’ve docked it to my Silent Swan or Gannet to take it into battle. I heartily recommend it to everyone, it’s just so bad-ass looking!
*Glowy - How much is a ship is lit up or potential to be lit up. Scale runs from 0 to 5.
0 = No lights at all, zip, nada. Not even the flashing lights when you lock/unlock the door. Not a bad thing, as some designs are that way.
1 = Some lights, allowing you to find it in the dark, but you’ll bump your shin on the bumper getting inside.
2 = Finally, you can tell the front from the back, maybe see the license plate at this point.
3 = This would be the average ship in StarMade where there is enough lights for aesthetics.
4 = More than 50% lights and/or very good lighting designs integrated into the ship. Think the 2nd TRON movie.
5 = Elaborate and/or so much lighting that you can’t see your shadow. You might want to put on some shades. Think the 1st TRON movie.
You can switch rail direction by placing a rail block next to the logic block that activates the rail. :)
