OK this may be a bit lame, but.. I have been playing a truck load of battlefield 3 recently, and I have been investigating all the tech they use. I love flying the choppers and jets, even though I am terrible at it. I am terrible at the ground shooting too, only good at healing injured soldiers
Anyways I was thinking about eldar craft in terms of modern military tech, and by golly are they insane! All the eldar tanks are supersonic capable (star engines flat out are the same speed as the DE fighter with supersonic rule) and capable of hovering, vertical take off and breakneck hairpin turns, all with more armour than anything as fast in the game. So basically you have something with the speed of a Raptor, the turning capability and hovering of an Apache all on something as heavily armed and armoured as an Abrams!
Also... eldar tanks are piloted by guardians. Our fighter pilots are the cream of the crop because only a certain body type and fitness can handle the g's. How advanced must eldar physiology be to allow a farmer or poet to climb in a jet-tank and go zooming around. Ok maybe its a stretch but it crossed my mind.
What do you guys think?
