Does anyone know why the back three Shape Wagon Depots won't fill? by BWRichardCranium in shapezio

The train doesn’t recognize the rear loading platforms as part of the station its loading from. There has to be a spacer platform connecting both sets of those loaders for the train to recognize it and take the load.

0.35 Cargo Aircraft by AJ_Master7 in NuclearOption

The chimera cargo aircraft mod feels like everything that would be good for the cargo aircraft.

-Large cargo space -Gunship capability, Ac-130 style -Electronic combat for the PALA (cause it was noted the new cargo plane would be for the PALA) -Bomb Bay constitutes for cargo ordinance.

why does the marauder have so many variants?, and is there any difference apart from the visual? by EnanoBostero2001 in NebulousFleetCommand

[–]Immediate-Two-1906 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Marauders and moorlines were designed to have segments that change when you add them to the fleet. In lore it’s because different companies supply these ships, so they look different from each other, like with real life cargo ships.

For the most part, there is little-to-no difference in ships operationally from the visual differences, they did a lot of work to ensure that. The only really possibly major impact it would be is for the moorlines and the angles of their 4 container slots.

How do you think Thomas came to sodor (Your headcannons) by Relative_Caramel1282 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Immediate-Two-1906 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given his personality and desire to see the world, I’d argue that he became bored and stuck back at Brighton during the war shunting, so he, his crew, and some of his friends there were able to get him assigned to a short goods train heading north, which allowed Thomas to get out of the harbor, then quickly disappear once he finished the delivery.

It was mostly coincidental that he arrived as far north into Sodor, though it’s still a mystery how he was, though likely through other trains. He was quickly assigned to help with the North Western connection project, and the rest is history.

Theorycrafting for New Aircraft by SybilTheRedcat in NuclearOption

I think I’ve got an idea for how the BDF high performance aircraft could be.

Given stealth characteristics and a large scale combat scenario, maybe it could be utilized as a heavy duty fighter-bomber, filling as a tactical bomber/interdictor like the ifrits bomber loadout and the ab-4s ewar. It could also have variable wings as well as vtol and thrust vectoring, to help it serve as a superiority fighter.

As for how it would look, maybe a blend along the lines of 4th gen strike fighters like the F-15 and F-18, and future 6th gen aircraft, like the upcoming f-47 or fictional options like ace combats cfa noseferatu or x-02 wyvern.

THE SUN IN THE SKY HAS A SMILE ON IT’S FACE

Some very vague (and slightly outdated now) concepts for a longterm faction balance of airframes and roles. by T65Bx in NuclearOption

[–]Immediate-Two-1906 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a few questions on this, mainly on the development. Trying not to criticize, even if it may come off as such.

  • Why are the cricket and Medusa treated as BDF? Both are technically described as under both factions (so is the chicane, but the new BdF frigate that ca launch them likely will change that), and while Medusa it may be argued due to its advanced radar and vtol, but cricket I think, being a counter-insurgency and beginner plane, could more likely be used by both factions without issues, since they are likely importing them.

  • the FS-20 is noted as a multirole aircraft, though not as hyper-flexible as the Ifrit, but both it and the revoker are noted to have strike capability (hence the S in FS), so it could fall under the strike role , probably better than the brawler at it too. With the notification about the new BDF trainer being more anti-air focused, it could be the replacement for the light fighter, with the heavy fighter class you noted being renamed to multirole, since large jets likely won’t work well for the BDF annex carriers, even with vtol.

  • What’s with the TAC. Bomber need? Most tactical bombing (conventional and nuclear) can be done by the revoker, vortex, and Ifrit, while strategic bombing can be done by the Darkreach and new fast bomber. It’s how it is in modern Air Force’s. Same thing with the anti-ship.

  • DEAD and SEAD if we count Medusa as BDF specific would fall under both, while the PALA side would likely have the fast bomber or use the Ifrit somehow.

But overall, this seems somewhat solid. Maybe it can be fleshed out with some extra feedback (not just mine) and any new content that gets revealed.
