In a recent Jump Point, Chris Roberts and Nathan Dearsley commented on the ability of the Avenger's wings to fold while it's on the ground. They also discussed the possibility of the single-seat Avenger having a folding jump seat behind the pilot. Can you tell me if either of these design features are still in the works for the Avenger?asked by Heartsblade
TL;DRDoesn't confirm either feature: Jump Point shows work-in-progress ideas that may change, the finished approved ship is what counts, and variants might leave room for such ideas.
So what you see in Jump Point, and part of the reason for Jump Point, is you get to see what happens, the work in progress, that you're seeing the designing of a ship. And so a lot of these notes that you see at the beginning are the ideas that come out during that process. But at the end, what the artist builds may change along the way and as further feedback happens. What you see at the end, though, is the finished, approved version of the ship.
But perhaps there's always room for variants. So who knows what's going to happen there. But I mean, that is a good point. The point is, we're showing them the process of how these things get designed. And we throw a lot of spaghetti against the wall, and most of it falls off. But the one that Chris gets at the end is what we really want to be on.
