All gantries, and engines, and cables. I can see the upper class in tall spires that spire high above the working class. They are the ones that keep the city alive. They unload the transports and fuel the colossal engines keeping the city afloat on the air currents. And yet, for their toil, they get a shanty town, dangling precariously where-ever they can build their homes. Some hang their homes over the edge, on the end of steel hawsters. Others risk the radiation and build above the storage pools that make dirty thirty look like a holiday resort. This is the real city.

I was just pointing out that the competition won't be saturated with flying islands.
How long will the competition last and when will it start?
2-3 weeks and as soon as possible.

Good, because I'm leaving next Sunday and I really want to participate in this one. So it's one week for me if possible.

For some reason that doesn't make any sense.
1) Who would build super expensive flying city, which doesn't produce anything?
2) Why there would be shanty if operating costs per citizen are about $700,000 per month?

Over populated and very old, Like Rivet city, it used to be something now its just a place to live.
But then they should have returned it back to ground.

What if there isnt any ground?

What if the ground is radiated, and can NO longer in any way support life
Underground bunkers...
And where the fuel comes from?

Solar energy up in that bitch :v:

Bio fuel
Where the bio comes? :v:
[QUOTE=oskutin;31177272]Where the bio comes? :v:[/QUOTE]
Garbage.
[QUOTE=oskutin;31177272]Where the bio comes? :v:[/QUOTE]
People need to take a dump eventually...
Engines requires many times more fuel than that place produces garbage :v:
Who the fuck cares if it makes sense. Its just an art style. That is like saying COD is the most realistic game in the whole world.
To be fair, that was a quick type. It's not like i dream about floating cities. Although, i did dream about really steep hills last night, that was weird.
The point of a city like that could be for show, or it could be to support life. In that way, the rich benefit from the poor. The rich can afford to have prime quarters in the original residential area of the city, whereas the poor would build their homes where they would fit. There might be other places where human life can be supported, at least for a small amount of time. People could be sent by the city to these places, to scavenge and to mine, and what they find, they send back to the city.
On the most part, the city would be self sufficient. Most of the engines could use a hydrogen based fuel source, but some may have been converted to take radioactive materials as fuel. In turn, this brings the problem of what to do with such things, dump the waste overboard, or store it in massive cooling pools.
Also, if you consider that the people may not really know how the machine works anymore. Limited knowledge may have been passed down, but bits have fallen off, some things may not work correctly anymore. The sensors may give false readings, the autopilot might be jammed on, meaning it cannot land. Or simply, the rich and powerful are either afraid of landing, or relish the caste system. As a result, the poor are told that its dangerous on the ground, and what do they know. They know what they are told, and work in order to live.

Sci fi has an answer to everything.
Start the thread already D: I want to map.
Did a WW2 map contest exist a while back?

Holy crap I'm making it, okay let me get on it!
looks like they got the computer illiterate people of a high school to design a poster for their school's paper.
