Typical Astrospheres used by Interplanetary Ether Flyer's


The original image used for this adaptation was found in : Introduction_to_Space_1889"

Ether Flyers are designed for higher altitudes. Flyers operating in the lower astrospheres cannot attack those in higher astrospheres. The only means an Interplanetary Ether Flyer can be attacked are by Flyers in the same or higher astrospheres. Ether Flyers are designed to operate optimality in the following five astrospheres:

  • Orbit
  • Upper Stratosphere
  • Lower Stratosphere
  • Upper Troposphere
  • Lower Troposphere

A Source of Ether Ship Miniatures

When looking for Ether ship miniatures to play the “Ironclads and Ether Flyers” RPG I came upon a designer on Shapeway’s that is offering Ether ship miniatures that could be used for this game. Objects May Appear is offering a large collection of Ether flyers and other vessels that are reasonable priced. Most are in 1/1200 scale, but OMA does offer a few vessels in 1/600, and in other scales. They are molded in, what looks like a white hard plastic. These miniatures are created using a 3-D printer, and from what I can gather, they will need some cleaning up and paint.

See you all next week, I am taking off for the weekend...

Ironclads and Ether Flyers -What is an Ether Flyer?

Image adaptation from Introduction to Space 1889.

Ether Flyer’s are large spacecraft that are used for interplanetary space travel. They use propellers for propulsion, but rely on “liftwood” for atmospheric flight.
