A big problem I have with the new wasp

35.3k V  2.6 years ago

It's part count. It's 310 parts. I only have 1 mobile device powerful enough to run that, which is my phone. Also, I believe it is orders of magnitude too complex to be a stock aircraft, I thought that the bush plane was too complex of a stock aircraft when it was added, then we got the gator 2, which I think is also much too complex, also, it doesn't even have standard helicopter controls. I mean who even uses throttle for collective pitch? I belive stock aircraft should be simple for a new player to understand, not something that a platinum level user would put out. Also, I think that chancy's advanced mode idea really rings true here, as these new cockpit features are just way, way too complex for a new player to comprehend, and you won't know what the variable button does until you know what funky trees is.

    @EternalDarkness i used to have a potato galaxy s5 for one year before getting the charging port busted just 9 months ago. Plus it can handle up to 520 parts and its 7 years old (my dad bought it in 2014 for himself) i now have a cheap 2018 cherry mobile J2 max (made in china but locally branded) it has the same gb as the galaxy s5 but it can handle 799 parts. I'll get 6-8gb ram new Xiaomi Redmi phone (much faster then both phones) 10 months from now when my dad comes home from his work at the Emirates (for my brothers birthday)

    I agree with CoolPeach. Purpose of stock builds is to teach new builders what is possible in this game, and they should range in complexity from the ugly and boring Kicking Fish to sculpted builds like the new Mustang, and should demonstrate various building methods and options like funky trees. Besides, potatoes that can't run 300 parts are usually old phones which are getting pretty rare. Most newer low end devices can handle over 500.

    I've gotta agree actually. 300 parts is really pushing it when it comes to simple builds you can take apart and build when you're just starting.

    The wasp offers an insight into what is possible to players who might not want to download crafts. There are still many very simplistic stock aircraft available, but there should be something a bit more complex just so new players know what is possible. Otherwise they might go on thinking that the Helleska is the most advanced thing they can build, which is what happened to me until I downloaded other crafts.

    the wasp has FT all over it lol, i think they should still keep the original variants of the stock aircraft or make new ones that are very simple and have no xml editing or tricks
