Astro Cross: Flashback 1942 (was naming alien ships)

[Valles]

I considered the folding-prop thing, but to do it with the 'shallower' radial engine space, you'd need to basically design the blades to accordion up, which seems excessively complex. And anyway, I like the back-engine visual better. ^_^

Wiki lists the DB 605, the inline plant that the Me 109 finished the war with, as having a max of 2800 RPM, and the Allison V-1710 the Lightning used at 3000, both of which I know are a lot lower than a modern car tops out at, so I'm not sure that your reasoning there works out... It's entirely possible that if the 'fusion turboshaft' engine is available at all, then it'd have a lot higher output than the simpler pulsed system, though.

So, a stat sheet for Razor (And I'm perfectly pleased to have her show up as a 'signature character') might look something like...

Agility 5, Education 2, Intuition 4
Strength 2, Reason 3, Heart 3
Endurance 2, Willpower 2, Psyche 2
CP 5/5

...Plus background, visual description, etc?
