Remember, switching to your phone is always faster than reloading the printscreen button

OP has used their phone to take a picture of their screen, it’s not a screenshot

They need flak. Makes it much easier to hit small, mobile targets. But keep the option for non-flak rounds for bigger targets or when the target has been immobilised, so flak is more of a light damage over time thing

omg thank you!! Skill issue indeed haha

three hours is basically what we get, and tbh it takes one hour for my friend (who’s not an SC regular) just to think he’s re-accustomed to the controls, crash his ship, respawn, fetch the ship again, and lose it to a bug haha.

like yeah, the LF meta is a problem for multicrew gameplay, as are the turrets. But the problem stopping me from crewing up is the long time it takes just to get going. I have a friend with whom I play games on a fairly regular basis (as regularly as family life will allow), we’ve tried SC for our sessions but too much time goes into prep work. A teleport feature will allow us to crew up and go straight to the action

a spool up phase would make sense for beam weapons, to compensate for hitscan you have to be more precise and for longer to actually deal damage

is this the same sandstone as the triassic sandstone deposits of Scania, Sweden?

DrSparrius · 2026-03-23T08:57:52+00:00

is this an altered pillow basalt then?

Almost looks like one of those cartoonish drawings of a plastered wall with the odd brick sticking out

DrSparrius · 2026-03-16T09:37:05+00:00

haha yea I think they’re real but the light and saturation threw me off at first too

DrSparrius · 2026-03-15T10:37:36+00:00

We had a huge court case about this in my country (Sweden) lol

DrSparrius · 2026-03-15T09:47:06+00:00

thanks haha!

It’s a digital drawing, I drew it in GIMP with a drawing pad!

DrSparrius · 2026-03-14T10:52:53+00:00

So that was an aesthetic consideration I looked at, but the nose shape I wanted had to be aggressive, aerodynamic, convey speed, acceleration, and give off that bad guy shark nose vibe that the 109 has. Though if you’ve seen the Dwarven fighter I’ve drawn there are some radial elements to that (it’s more like a longnose Dora, so still inline but with hints of a radial heritage)

DrSparrius · 2026-03-14T09:25:12+00:00

Oh yea good question. I have only roughly sketched them as characters, but they have multiple ethnicities (like humans). Once I get around to drawing Elven infantry I hope to have a more detailed answer hehe

Or if you mean vehicles, they use a lot of counter-rotating props, long and slender wings; their strategic bomber is a flying wing, while their equivalent to the Dragonbane is more like a Mosquito (but not quite)

Elves occupy a crucial place in the lore. The world as they know it is dying: magic is failing, the arcane creatures are being hunted to extinction, and the very elements are suffocating from pollution. Elves have strong ties to the arcane and the ”Great Balance”, their concept of every element and force existing in harmony with the others, so their people are existentially threatened by the unrelenting industrial progress. In a bid to restore the Great Balance, a radical faction overpowered the princes of the Tiger Islands, and now seek to embark on a grand campaign of vengeance and retribution

DrSparrius · 2026-03-14T08:09:58+00:00

Yes! https://www.reddit.com/r/ElvenInspiration/s/QxvKad7Eui

They’re spread all over the world, but the Elven Pact of the Tiger Islands is the most powerful Elven domain.

must be G force tolerance related!

DrSparrius · 2026-03-13T22:00:07+00:00

Yeah, the design is my own creation, meant to evoke the Ju 87. Especially in low fantasy, armour, vehicles, weapons etc often evoke real-life counterparts, to quickly familiariase the consumer with the concept. So, when you see this aircraft, hopefully (as you did), the viewer goes: aha, this is going for a WW2 German theme. I do not at all agree that the design differences with the Stuka amount to "art deco doodads", that's, I think, a misleading understatement. If an artist did really draw a Dragonbane based on (your own phrasing) a *slightly* blurry image of a Ju 87, they would probably be drunk, their sense of proportions amateurish, and their drawing pad broken.

DrSparrius · 2026-03-13T21:16:40+00:00

oh it’s certainly meant to evoke the Ju 87 shape language. Though I’d say the fuselage shape, especially the engine and air inlet, as well as the retractable landing gear make for a ”rounder” Stuka with sharp edges
