it's not going to compile Properly before #3386 is merged because i gave the turrets an id var. But it does load. It does work. It just runtimes. |

Thanks for the feedback. It should all be worked in. |

Just a bit more feedback after having played the Bolide on Wednesday.
Alternatively, adding a ship viewscreen to the bridge would alleviate these issues and maintain the very cool cockpit vibe that the helm console has. Just as a proof of concept I placed one where there was some free space and it doesn't look too bad I feel. Of course, this is just an idea but I do feel like adding a ship viewscreen some places around the ship like the PGFN Crying Sun has would be nice.

The decaling style could stand to cut a little closer to the example set by the Crying Sun i think, particularly the hallway decals. The green fancy spline + steel grid combo is something only the crying sun does at the moment, while the border decal set you used here with standard dark tiles is probably the most widely used set of decals in the game right now. |

About The Pull Request
Adds the Elated Bolide Class and assorted fluff that I made for it.
The Elated Bolide is named for the excitement that it's crew experiences when hitting a hostile atmosphere, and the way that a particularly hard entry can appear from the ground.
In the frontier, the Bolide-Class is used both in exploration and civilization building (imperialism) with the marines being equipped with a surplus of equipment to quickly break down and salvage unwanted structures (enemy fortifications) while building colonial infrastructure, such as concrete roads (bunker complexes).
