More headbutting was had.
Naaah Doom, hoverballs are cheating.
Don't forget you can increase the power of the thrusters and have fewer of them. You probably know that, but just in case... also, add a few balloons, I always do to make it a little lighter.
I haven't played this game in ages, I think I will have a go tomorrow, last thing I made was a sort of rocket that you sat in, but it was really difficult to fly and I just ended up flying it into the sea (I was using one of the HL2 coastal maps.) This time I want to try a huge fighting machine, kinda like a transformer, but I can never get the things to walk right as I haven't got the hang of pulleys and hydraulics etc.
Will post anything I create...
Edit - I also forgot to mention, last time I also tried to make a glass-bottom boat. However, after having spent f***ing ages lining up my girders for the base, then welding all the glass panels onto them, I dropped the whole construction and all the glass smashed.
