I might be cruising in with a pretty ship or two that I have built recently. Need to do some more combat trials before I confirm submission though. And remove the landing gear and spinning components...
[DOUBLEPOST=1448834191,1448834074][/DOUBLEPOST]Part of me wants to post this to the registry, but the other part of me says that is a stupid idea to let potential opponents tear apart my ship to know my many weaknesses in this thing.
I binged this thread solely to see designs like this to see how I could change my building methods to make better looking, less industrial ships. I was not disappointed. Ya'll should really run a class.
And as a hammer mechanic, I can't help but throw an expansion out on this one:
you are so wrong on the pricing issue and stuff that goes on with the Navy and in general our government buying stuff. They buy stuff massively over priced all the time. You would think that a process a company has to win a contract on would result in better pricing it doesn't though. Why simply there are few company's filling the orders and they know what the rates other companies won at in the past and so on.
This is precisely why DoD picked up the HK416/417 and FN SCAR series rifles during the last Infantry Weapon trials, because they cost less than the M16 family and are more reliable because they don't rely on the ass-backwards direct impingement system--oh wait, that would be a
sane procurement process. From the industry side, the DoD procurement process is a clusterfuck of favors owed, nothing more and nothing less. Full stop.
It doesn't help that not only do they function better, but the SCAR series is far more aesthetically pleasing...
3 weeks worked on ship and i just got my weapon fully functioning this thursday...
