No one knows the story behind this design. Some say it was the result of a drunken bet, others that the designer just wanted to show off. All we can say is that it flies reasonably well. Roll response is a little sluggish, which is understandable considering the mass is all concentrated away from the central axis, but otherwise it flies fine.

CONTROLS

AG8 to toggle pitch sensitivity, FireGuns to fire plasma cannon.

    @F4f879 Ha, no. I have a Latin-English dictionary that I scan for cool-sounding words, and then there's always Google Translate.

    @F4f879 Oh, that way. Yeah, but I chose the name because it's the name of a constellation.

    Doesn't auriga mean charioteer? @SledDriver

    @F4f879 I'm guessing that's a sci-fi movie/comic reference?

    I'd say bet, definitely the result of a bet. The designer won.

    @EternalDarkness It could be a detailed wacky build. And my scripts are close to release, so you can just draw any shape you want.

    @SledDriver no way. I love details too much. And I can't script.

    @EternalDarkness Fair enough. Now I'm thinking of how to get you to build a wacky build yourself... that would be an achievement.

    @SledDriver it's a very strange shape. Not really my type, but draws attention.
