So I want to ask the community, for those who are interested, to join in and create.

Your task is to build a flying car for vanilla.
Your going to use carbon composite blocks.
If it looks like a real car even better.
I want you to build a standard version and then a sports version.

However I am going to give you 2 sets of engine specs...

Unfortunately there's not many people working on them and could do with some help.
Why help you ask? Well the more poi's and content added to the game, the more there is for players to explore, fight and trade with.

We already have quite a few POI‘s and OPV‘s (thanks to @Darth Zaphod and @Don2k7 aswell) but it‘s always good to have more.

So, if you like the idea of this faction, then I’m challenging you to come up with great POI‘s and OPV‘s!

Background
Essentially more Kriel poi's are needed both in space and on the planet's. Unfortunately there's not many people working on them and could do with some help, I haven't got much time to work on them these days. I do however have a list of poi's to create for the Kriel.

Now JRandall has seen this list, and approved it. He also know's I'm posting this thread...and approves of it

So I'd like to share this...

Thank you so much to Ravis, Don2k7, Fractalite, Robot Shark, Genza, Rex Shorman, and Movado for submitting blueprints for this challenge! The challenge is now closed and I have submitted the POIs to Hummel so they can get added to the game.
Really incredible work on these wrecks and I think people will enjoy finding them.

Its from a call of duty game Infinite Warfare, I think it is an awesome design. Would love to see a builder. Heck I'd even paypal a builder to build it in game to specs.

I envision it as a destroyer/heavy cruiser. Strong armor, but maintaining good maneuver. I'd say, something like 90 meteres in length or less to keep the build blocks and weight down and cpu in line.

I might try my hand at it but my art...
