Description
Screenshots of different Thiian ships I have ingame. They don't have weapons or textures yet, but other than that, they are functional.
Looks deadly.
bombers and missile carrier fighters?
you dont need wings in space you know?
These two are fighters: The large one is the Thiian Calthiiker class bomber, and the small one is the Teriat class interceptor.

And, in response to you Naenphus, these strikecraft are able to operate in an atmosphere as well as space, thus, they need wings in order to make the former possible.
But considering the advanced technology required to design a wartime space vessel, and the extreme disadvantage for fighters to have large profiles, surely the Thiiei would develop their atmosphere/vacuum craft to retract or otherwise fold their wings up? I know I would.
Well, you've got me there. I hadn't thought of that when I was making the models. Perhaps at some point in the future I'll modify them so that their wings are retracted in some manner, maybe like something along the lines of the F-14 Tomcat.
