"Cannonball"
Sorry for the .pdf file, but my scanner can only give .pdfs and .tiffs.

After all, I've thought of a new flying unit in Machines: Wired for War - the Cannonball.

What's so unique in it? Well, it doesn't use any weapons at all! Only kinetic energy to break through everything that stays on its way (it's extremely hard [its nose, damnit!]).

So, how does it work? In "Flight" mode, it's a simple... airplane. Yeah, nothing too special about it, except that it's able to rotate almost instantly in any direction.

However, when it switches to "Cannonball" mode, its aerodynamics change, allowing it to reach extreme speeds (at the cost of little to no rotation at all) and therefore being similiar to a missile, but with two advantages: its mass factor and the fact that instead of exploding, it penetrates everything.

The thing with this machine is, it dies pretty damn fast if it gets hit with anything (despite the fact that it's extremely hard). It's just like a regular missile: if it hits anything, it causes total mayhem, but if it gets hit, it doesn't do anything but fireworks.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

It reminds me of this:

Could be for Open Machines.

So you say that my ship is similiar to these birds? Hell yeah, but, honestly, I had no idea about those birds... I just learnt more about aerodynamics and wanted to make a ship that uses kinetic force to destroy everything... and those birds, well, just... wow.

And yeah, it seems like those "Shredders" use kinetic force to kill everything on their way.

You just surprised me, sir.

yay.gorilla

Pisarz

Science!

AvionAris

@Pisarz Oh, hell yeah!
Science ftw. It's the only way machines in "Machines: Wired for War" actually evolved!

I began to think about your map already, to justify the positions of the pods. I'll upload them soon.

AvionAris

@Pisarz Sir yes sir!

@Pisarz @Encrypted
I don't know what you're talking about. Who needs maps when you could have whatever this is:

AvionAris

@bilal We're talkin' 'bout this'n'this.

First one - my idea (map)
Second one - my idea (unit)

yay.gorilla

@bilal
Ha ha ha!!! That table, those chairs... the funniest thing about it is that the machines prepared Eden 4, etc. for the arrival of humanity, so they actually belong to the overall composition! What software did you use?

bilal

@Pisarz
Haha, so this is OM, I've just put some models down for testing code. So far it's just comprised of unit selection/movement. In Unreal Engine, when you make a basic project, the map spawns with a table and chairs.

The models are from the original game btw.

Pisarz

@bilal
Awesome!

AvionAris

@Pisarz @bilal Lol, love the chairs and a table too. It looks a bit odd... but yeah, it's funny.

And the fact that machines' original purpuose was to terraform every planet so that humans could live on'em as they please... I've just noticed that, l0lolololol0l0lo0ol0ol0l

@Encrypted
Instead of LOL, why not 101?! Ha ha ha!!!
