Onager or mangonel or catapracht
A possible idea that hasnt been used yet is to have free spin rotators and having the basket detach with a high force detacher from the base rather than rotator powered, its allowed and its kind of historical accurate if that detach symoblises a rope or something.
I'm in too! :)
@ChunderDownUndeR thanks
@ChunderDownUndeR I thought it would be easier to build catapults in SP. That ball doesn't want to fly anywhere. :/ Even with two x8 VTOL-engines and 2 VTOL-nozzles powering the catapult.
@ChunderDownUndeR That's not a problem for my idea. I'll get to work then! :)
@BRuthless They certainly are. you just cant use it on the projectile of course.
@ChunderDownUndeR Are modded engines allowed? :D
@BRuthless Good luck!
I've already got an idea for this. :D
