Questions re: ballista, scorpio crews
#9
Why did you use the Orsova frame (which is right, the largest ever found) if you didn't use an inswinger configuration? There's a reason why the spacing is so wide between the Torsion housings: that's what it was designed for.

Then you wouldn't have the issue of it being so long and awkward either, and it could shoot much farther. Also, then it would actually be correct to call it a Ballista (Palintone configuration, i.e. what you're using, is called a Catapulta/Scorpio).
