I have been building flying cars this week and I want to see more ! Every couple of years i build something new that is along the lines of a flying car. 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 here to use. This way we can all see how our cars perform with the same engines. You will create the standard version of the vehicle using the FCP v1 engine specs You will create the sports version of the vehicle using the FCP v2 engine specs FCP v1 Medium thrusters (2x1 ) 2 rear/2 front 2 top/4lift 2 left/2 right FCP v2 Medium thrusters (2x1 ) 4 rear/2 front 2 top/4lift 3 left/3 right Choosing a class/type So you could make either: Economic cruiser Economic runabout Luxury cruiser Luxury runabout Runabout or Cruiser: The difference being a cruiser will have a warp drive. A runabout will not, so it can be smaller and is restricted to a planet or single system. Economic or Luxury: The difference being the luxury will have ALL the below devices, and I mean ALL. The economic version will have NONE I repeat NONE of the below listed devices constructor fridge wifi radar detector armour locker o2 station shield is a luxury ! RCS are optional anywhere but not recommended . Here are some example screens of builds I made over the last 6 years, to help stimulate the mind and figure the sort of sizes and designs I am working with here. Though some of them are older builds and do not have the v1 or v2 engine's, they are just examples of car ish designs. The Daride luxury cruiser with FCPv1 engine, pictured with taxi version. Alongside the sport version carrying the FCPv2 engine. I built this just yesterday and is currently the gem of my flying car collection. The Vanquish and vanquish sport luxury cruisers. built this 2 days ago again FCPv1 and FCPv2 engines The Luxor X2 luxury cruiser built this a few years ago. The Luxor X1 luxury runabout with its original alpha design parked in front. So old we did not have shields and such, the battlecab xD Wanted the smallest walkabout open cockpit sv, call this a luxury runabout though it was built years ago with less thrusters than the v1 engine, its more like the fiat panda of flying cars or 1 of those little izuzu vans aha Did I mention camper vans are welcome ? Post pics and specs of your build, workshop links if you want to share. Have some creative fun ! Feel free to build taxi or police versions.
