Disruptor XL WIP 71: Cascade Failure 2
So I thought I'd tackle the loose wedges on the front first. I successfully managed to make the upgarde to the right wedge with out taking it off, but for whatever reason it didn't take. As soon as I moved the table it broke again, leaving me wondering why it worked on the back wedges which are not as anchored, and not the fronts which were anchored all the way down to the front.
I figured it was because the center triangle was still sagging. The center triangle's outer skin is also two halves not connected internally which is why the dome and large guns fell off. So I went to replace a few parts at the front, which didn't go well at all. It seems that every time I add or change something 8 other things break, which is what inevitably happend to the left wedge. In my attempts to modify the front most section of the center triangle another cascade failure occured and the entire left wedge collapapsed. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid because instead of replacing a handfull of parts I now have to replace thousands!
It might not have happend if I had made the upgrades I made to the other side, but those upgrades were not enough to hold that side up so I didn't want to make any adjustments or purchases until I had a solution.
The upside to this is that with it off the internal strcutue will be easyer to modify. But that structure now needs a complete redesign as it can't hold the weight of the wedge. I also may have broken the entire ladder frame of the center triangle but I can't really tell. I really don't know how to fix this at the moment. Any sugestions would be welcome.
