Streamlined Hull Nitpick

[Golan2072]

The Ship Design chapter says:

Streamlined hulls include hulls that are needles, wedges, cones and cylinders in shape. They are designed to enter planetary atmospheres and function in a similar fashion to conventional aircraft.

What about flattened spheres? I.e. classic sci-fi flying saucers?

That's really only fluff in terms of the descriptions. If you consider flying saucers to be aerodynamic then just pay the cost and off they go.

As I wrote in the title, this is a nitpick.

Yes, having been busy reading your other thread on a particular theme I realized where you coming from :wink: :lol:

I believe it would break canon, if flattened spheres become unaerodynamic.
