FdL Ship Kit Incoming

Finally.
Ship kits are an abomination. The FDL ship kit will be the most abominable It's like buying a Ferrari GTO and thinking "A trip to Halfords will improve this thing no end".
Now if they made a kit that turned it into a convertible I'd be interested. MASSIVE CANOPIES FOR EVERYONE!

He knows ^
I've supported FD through the store quite strongly despite it being the first time in my life I've spent money on a game that wasn't the actual game purchase.
And yet....not one ship kit. They look awful. Like blocks of polystyrene attached to your ship.
Rice burner, anyone?

I fully agree. Haven't seen a single visual "upgrade" that adds to the ship design. In the best case, they look like this.
Yeah ship kits. Rather awful things. Although I quite like some of the Python parts, I can radically alter it's form to my liking, but the rest are just stupid stubby wing rubbish, that don't appear very attractive, and don't add anything to the ships.
FDL? I'm not expecting much.
Ship reduction kits would be nice, remove the terrible big wings on the FAS, make it look less ugly, I would be able to go out in that then.

Lol - well if your going to be less than enthusiastic - do it in a funny way, made me laugh.
I thinkI had that one on my sidey!
I think they make the ships hitbox larger anyway?
No thanks

No, they don't.
You're talking about the Python kit, aren't you?
Whenever I see this iteration of the Python kit, it always looks like roadkill to me.
The function of spoilers on cars is to push down the back end of the car for more friction and grip on the back wheel. On a plane inside an atmosphere, static spoilers on the tail would make a ship pitch up and maybe even spin out of control flipping end over end.
In space they're purely decorative.

I think this is not correct.
No it isn't.
What you're talking about is a wing.
The purpose of a "spoiler" is, as the name implies, to break up vortices in order to modify air-flow around a vehicle for all sorts of reasons.
A wing is a spoiler but a spoiler is not necessarily a wing.
In ED, I suppose a spoiler might serve that same purpose but, frankly, you'd think they'd have found a better way of doing things a thousand years in the future.

Point taken, not an aeronautical engineer obviously, so I use the terms interchangeably, though yes they can fulfill different functions apparently though most seem to involve different ways of decreasing lift. But thanks for pointing that out, now I have a whole new slate of wiki articles to read
Even found a picture of an actual plane with functional bling on the tail. Not sure which this design is attempting to do, but I imagine this one is designed to increase lift, or maybe decrease drag? Or maybe just an aerodynamic structural brace for the propellers?
