Landing strips

Many times I have been accused of skimping on physical description at least in the world of Rome's Revolution. This is because I am so anxious to get to the story, the action, that I don't want to bog down the writing with excessive description.

As such, my landing strips are always the same. Vuduri starships and airships all run on EG Lifters so they all takeoff and land vertically. There is no need for runways. They always park their vehicles along the buildings and their flying craft along the edge of the runway. Here is the dopiest block diagram but it gets the point across:



This layout was exactly the same when Rome and Rei landed in the Vuduri compound in the middle part of Rome's Revolution. It was also the same at the end of that book as well as the secret Darwin Base we encountered at the end of The Ark Lords.

It was also the same when Rei and Rome returned to Helome in Rome's Evolution. The only difference in that book is the Vuduri had built a research complex on the outskirts of the landing area.

The only time I truly deviated from this master (read lazy) plan was for the University of Deucado. MINIMCOM built his own private landing strip and he did it his way. This was the place where we met Junior, the first starship born, not built.
