Line 1: − "Aerodyne", in the sense of [[DropShip]] construction, is a catchall description for DropShips that are not designed as [[:Category:Spheroid DropShip classes|Spheroid DropShips]], regardless of whether or not they are actually aerodyne in a literal sense. Some "aerodyne" DropShips are in fact incapable of operating in an atmosphere, typically indicated through the "[[Design Quirks#Un-streamlined|Un-streamlined]]" [[Design Quirk]]. + "Aerodyne", in the sense of [[DropShip]] construction, is a catchall description for DropShips that are not designed as a more or less spheroid vehicle, regardless of whether or not they are actually aerodyne in a literal sense. Some "aerodyne" DropShips are incapable of operating in an atmosphere. − The difference between aerodyne (non-spheroid) and spheroid DropShips is that the former typically possess some sort of wings and can glide through an atmosphere, whereas the latter rely on thrust only to brake their descent or to lift off from a planetary surface. In the case of an engine failure, spheroid DropShips will typically crash whereas aerodyne designs may still be able to manage a crashlanding in the presence of an atmosphere, providing slightly better safety for crew, passengers and cargo. + The difference between aerodyne (non-spheroid) and spheroid DropShips is that the former typically possess some sort of wings and can glide through an atmosphere, whereas the latter rely on thrust only to brake their descent or to lift off from a planetary surface. They also perform slightly differen in combat. [[Category:DropShip classes]] [[Category:DropShip classes]]
