Uh...aerial combat.
Like, tactics and what the specs mean for the aircraft's performance in combat situations and so on.

@Cucoo

Ehhh, only a little bit. If it was the technical stuff, then I would knoemw a decent amount, but you probably know more about aviation than I do.

Fighting in planes is weird, honestly. I've seen mock dogfights before, it sort of looks like two flying cats, rolling around weirdly the air, high as a kite. Never really understood it.




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Dogfights can be summarized in two words: Energy Fighting.
Are you at a lower altitude than your opponent and flying slower? You hold less energy and therefore are screwed. Are you above your opponent and flying at speeds less than your optimal maneuvering speed? You're screwed.
In short: kinetic and potential energy mean everything alongside how well an aircraft and pilot can manage the energy to retain an advantage.
The strange rolls you were seeing are literally those attempts to do so.

Ok... The reason why I was asking is because I wanted another brain to bounce ideas off of.

I forgot how hard it is to work on apps for Elsword characters for use in ATWAG. The amount of detail and info on the characters aside from their backstory is quite slim. ;w;

Speaking of apps
@wriggs
Any more prep stuff you need?
We could also start to figure out how to integrate your characters into a current situation if ya want.

@EG peeps
Ok so lets talk about where things are finally going.
In Helios: the group on Dua is finally out of the Manor of Exposition. We'll be getting them to the Tower of Aquarion in the next set of posts. Once at the tower we need to decide if Morpheus remains with the group or if another Demonarc stays with them instead.
The tower will lead to Duon and the Pangaea Space Port (PSP for now), where Nemesis and MIMI's barely "living" bodies will be. We can probably have Nemesis extract MIMI's AI and pass it on to someone in the group before dying herself.
Salvaging Nemesis's AI will be tricky, so the option there is to take Nemesis with them or leave her.

PSP can serve a few functions, including an introduction point for wriggs's characters. Alternatively he can choose Alcyon or some other location.

Either way, PSP will serve as the location to allow the group to go wherever they want.
The question is: what kind of thing do you guys think will be good to do? Spin a wheel and see where to go next?
I know Mima wants to start Neo-Gensokyo on a planet...
What does everyone else want to do?

@Cucoo

Well with the threat of destruction looming over their heads, John and Cortana will most likely be with Morpheus, trying to prepare for The Void.
