Since when are aircrafts ground vehicles

Also, 5000 blocks is quite big for a ground vehicle considering considering planets are only 400 meters long

 

[Trollerbobman]

5000 blocks MAX Florrible.

 

[Draren Thiralas]

I think the mass is that big to allow giant mechs to participate, too.

 

[ImperialDonut]

Don\'t double-post please, we have categories for a reason.

 

[ultimatemonster5]

And the 500mass limit is to allow giant mechs and dropships to compete. Oh and ground forces to me means anything that will be able to provide support or fight in orbit of a planet. Dropships for example will provide support with reinforcements

 

[Tydeth]

Don\'t know how many submissions we\'re allowed, but I\'ll go with a Dropship designed to carry troops into battle.

After building, I did test it on planets, so I know it can fly, land, take off, and escape as is. Whether it can do so damaged is something I haven\'t tested, but if the engines got knocked out badly enough, there is always x and z to get you off a planet so you can go to a shipyard for repairs.

 

[ultimatemonster5]

Just clarifying

 

[ultimatemonster5]

Nice 1st submission

 

[Will2brown]

Will a ship that can bombard a planet from orbit be counted?

 

[ultimatemonster5]

I\'ll allow it if its possible to enter the gravity of the planet and perform its job inside the gravity of the planet. If it cant do that than its functionality score will suffer [functionality is meant in this case inside the planetary gravity well]

 

[ultimatemonster5]

Keep submitting ;]

Quick question!

Will you accept a build as a single build if it exists with a few modifications based on the same chassis?

Of course, these modifications will be within logical bounds.

DFMC Mech MK1: http://star-made.org/node/15418



this is the MK1 version, I apologies that it isn\'t up to date as the MK2, but I just can\'t go giving away cutting edge military equipment now, can I?

Enjoy the conquering!
