Description
A collection for fighter blueprints that appear to contain multiple fighters. For people who like formations - or for people who want their ship to look like it carries more fighters than it actually can. I think these are a lot of fun, both to build and to play with, and they make for some interesting screenshots.

FAQ:

Q: How do these work?
A: These are simply blueprints that are 200 blocks or less that appear to contain multiple models. The game will treat them as if they are a single fighter. Unfortunately, this means they only have one engine trail, but that's not something that's currently fixable.

Q: Wait, there are gaps between the models - how are these built?
A: All of these (that I've built, anyway) are done entirely through the in-game editor using the custom block dimension tool - no XML edits are required. They are linked by extremely thin blocks (think like 50 x 0.0002 x 0.0002) that are visible in the build menu, but aren't rendered when the game scales the model down to convert them into a fighter.

Q: If I want to build my own formation, will you add it to this collection?
A: Yes, if you'd like. Drop me a workshop link in the comments.

Q: Do you take requests?
A: Sometimes. You're welcome to ask, I'll consider them if I have time.
