Alien hoverbot

Psawhn:
Here's a very quick blockup of an alien hoverbot:



The side things are more fans than turbines, though. They rotate around to provide foward/reverse/turning motions.

The gun is garbage - it's just there to show where the gun goes. I also figured that having the gun turret on top would make it more difficult to fire at humans that are downward.

Here's a proposed design change -- close up the gap between the top and bottom fans. That will make the whole thing look more solid and more powerful. The fan blades should look like those of a turbofan jet engine.

How about a turret on the bottom? ;)

Surrealistik:
Very nice. Were you inspired by the hoverbot I proposed? So far the model looks excellent. However I would definitely recommend substituting the fan turbines for something sleeker and more advanced, cylindrical anti-grav units that emit a light blue glow (similar to the colouration of the plasma blasts)  perhaps?

Been awhile since we worked together on X-Com Last Hope Pshawn, it's nice to see you again.

The flying alien bot has been around for a long, long time. It's just never had a model.

As I've said before, UFO:AI does not have and will not have antigravity or other sci-fantasy technology. Ever. It would completely defeat the purpose of a near-future hard-sci-fi game. The only exception we're making is for FTL, because the logistics and limitations of a sublight-only invasion were incompatible with the storyline.
