I'd say no, from my experience the tall turntable Bluefog is using wobbles barely at all, the flat 2x2 turntable on the other hand can be a bit wobbly, although it's not too bad unless you start pushing the tank along...

The new STD is an improvement, although I'd still say that the turret looks a bit out of place.

Not if the turret is touching the hull and is not larger than the width, like what I'm using for my tanks. I think having heavy ordnance on a carrier is a bit odd. I mean when it comes down to armor, you can't have everything, you can either have maximum troop transportation with mobility, or armor and firepower. Unless you have the main gun as a howitzer, providing support to your ground forces, but engaging the entire STD with troops inside is a BIG GAMBLE.

You are right about the turn tables, I am working on the turret, it will take time.

Not at all. Very sturdy and stable, [EDIT] but yes, the 2x2 turn tables are wobbly the more weight and taller they get the more it becomes evident. What other options are there for spinning pieces? I suppose there are technical pieces and whatnot... anyone wanna post a complete breakdown of their turrets?

My turret one uses a 2x2 flat turn table that is evened out through 2x2 flat smooth plates surrounding it. The only time it breaks is if I picked the tank up by the turret.

Quick question:
Image
Image
Does this make me a superpower?
Since I have a Super Death Tank and since Phaleks don't count as general infantry, I have 50 something minifigs to make up for it and a relative amount of Vehicules and a Time travelling bigger on the inside crate.

I think you have to have a SHIP to be a superpower.

On the wiki it says you need at least Two of the following list:
6. a SHIP
7. a SHDT
8. an Armored Core/giant mecha
9. a humongous amount of minifigs and/or vehicles where humongous amount means more than 50 of a general infantry type

I have a STD( :warhead: ) and 50 or more soldiers.

Who made these rules? I don't think the Immortals have any of those things, and they're pretty solidly established as a superpower. I think superpowerdom has more to do with how much other players respect your faction than with what's actually in it.

Wait, but what about the clause where you have to create at least 4 different "brikverse politics" threads, make an alliance, declare some wars, talk crap in afore-mentioned threads; and consistently fail to make something of yourself by consistently failing to surprisebackstab your allies from your irrelevant alliance?

You can't really come out and say "I'm a 'superpower'", because you'll only be seen as one if you have plentiful amounts of awesome. Regardless of what you type, it's what's in your pictures that really matters, as per the :gtfo: rule.
