[quote=@Hawthorne] I've got a couple questions. Does a heat shield look like an actual shield, or does it look like a second (or third) layer of armor to deflect heat on atmospheric entry? Where do the boosters go? Arms and legs? Also, what do the catapults look like? Are there multiple of them and we can go whenever, or do we need to form lines and fire ourselves at the planet one at a time? Do we write up what the LZ looks like? Or are there geographical features already planned? [/quote] The heat shield is an actual, expanding shield kind of like Gundam's ballute pack. It's not so much of an issue for Orbitals that can enter under their own power but it's a lot harder to control reentry speed for those that can't, so they get a heat shield. The boosters can go back, legs, wherever there's feasibly a hardpoint. There are at least two catapults. There might be more, but to be honest I haven't had time to finalize my description for [i]Pyxis[/i] yet. But there's at least two. As for the LZ, you're welcome to go right up to entering the atmosphere I'll get an establishing post written after everybody (or almost everybody, if someone's taking a while) has launched.
