    If we’re talking about bringing back different wing styles then i vote for forward swept wings

      We need variable swept wings that can sweep forward.

        Wait wait wait wait.

        Let’s take inspiration from the F-14 AND The Osprey.

        Rotating variable swept wings!

      A variable-sweep wing is one that can change configuration in-flight

    The only reason we like variable sweep wings is because it reminds us of this:

            You might already know this but juuust in case you didn’t, they’re making a sequel. Not Star Control: Origins. Not bloody Star Control 3 but an honest to God sequel by the original creators of 1 & 2.
