"The path for our expansion has been paved, now you must walk it."
The Eclipse of Gaia was created by CW Military Technologies to assist in colonizing newly discovered planets Xythoron and Helios...Earth was dying. Cargo pods were equipped with needed supplies for this colonization effort. The vessel can transport three pods and release them via airdrop or low ground speed. Solar panels have been added for energy production. Radio and satellite tech allows communication with other ships. Parachutes can be used for emergency purposes or for decceleration when landing. Eclipse of Gaia is fortified with eight defense turrets, six assault guns, four cannons, four rocket pods, ten air-to-ground missiles, ten long range air-to-air missiles, and eight bombs. Test flights reached 900mph, but skilled pilots may be able to get a faster speed out of it. When maneuvering, do not roll too aggressively. Down on trim when taking off and use trim for altitude adjustment

@CWhat016 I have made a forum post with all of the scores and rankings. It should be under the hottest section of the forums, under the announcement tag.
Who won? @spefyjerbf
Congrats! This entry has scored in second place for the iOS bracket. I will spotlight this entry, as well as upvote 5 of your planes.
Also, on another note, I am sorry that I didn't reply to some of your comments.
Scoring time is here. Don't worry about bad scores. I am a very harsh grader, and not many people have good grades. You will outperform many in this challenge.
Looks: 7/10. Powerful look that is quite good considering that it is iOS built.
Preparedness/feasibility: 8/10. This thing has a ton of weapons, and a nice cargo bay. Good job on this one.
Handling: 4/10. I understand that you were unable to test it, and I am happy to report that it does fly. The only catch is that it is extremely difficult to fly.
Personal enjoyment: 6/10. I really liked this entry. Unfortunately a gun is aimed at one of the wings, so I cannot fire the weapons.
Thanks for you entry! The rankings should come fairly soon!
I won't be able to fly it cause my phone can't handle the processing, so it'll just be for looks I guess unless someone (maybe you) would like to test it out @spefyjerbf
And btw I'm making a MK II with some of your weapons attached XP @spefyjerbf
Oh I want it scored for iOS, I was just hoping you could tell me if I would have got third or fourth or etc if I had entered the pc/mac bracket @spefyjerbf
It would also do well. It would just place better in the iOS bracket. Plus I need more iOS entries to even have an iOS bracket... so we'll see what bracket this is judged in.
@spefyjerbf is there any way you can score it in the iOS bracket for points, then tell me how it would have placed in the PC/Mac bracket?
Imposing. You didn't lie when you said it was huge. This should do well, especially in the iOS bracket.
