If you look at its front and back ends, you will see something slowly wiggling. Maybe we can name it after this featureTheWayOfTheCon wrote: November 2nd, 2026, 1:09 amI actually don't like "Herscheloid" that much because I find it clunky, that's why I said "something along those lines" because I do want the general idea to come across. Some other name ideas I have are "Trackmover" and "Herschifter" (Herschel + shifter).ENDW wrote: November 2nd, 2026, 12:55 amI prefer this. In fact, the purpose of my making this is to make a ship that not constructed with glider streams.TheWayOfTheCon wrote: November 2nd, 2026, 12:44 am It looks like a Demonoid, but constructed mainly with Herschel tracks instead of glider streams. Maybe "Herscheloid" or something along those lines?
Yeah, that's what I got inspired.
Stick bug sounds pretty good too, and it would fit with all the bug names we give to macro-ships. The only thing that bugs me (no pun intended) though is that there aren't any "limbs" of the spaceship. Stick bugs have pretty prominent legs, and otherwise this spaceship zoomed out looks like a boring line, like Caterpillar or Centipede (though those namesake insects have a ton of little legs rather than two large pairs).
