After talking with several people (none of whom are part of the SP community), I’ve decided to put this project on hold until SP2 drops on PC. The main reason is that the SP2 modding tools are probably going to be way more advanced, easier to use, and overall more user-friendly.
Over the next few months (or maybe weeks, if I can actually stop procrastinating), I’ll be releasing parts of this project in bits and pieces.
Here’s what you can expect:
• A major tonal shift for this account
I’ll be stepping away from the whole "comically evil and hilariously incompetent mega-corporation" persona. (Well... kinda. I’ll see how people feel about the new direction before fully committing.)
• More serious aircraft designs
I’ve had a bunch of serious concepts I’ve wanted to explore, but the goofy MWBS style—and my own IRL design incompetence—kept getting in the way.
• Lore drop
MWBS lore coming. Pretty self explanatory
Most of this content will be rough or unfinished.
Please bear with me—this is the first time I’ve tried doing something like this in any community.
Don’t be surprised if this ends up being one of my last posts for a long while, possibly until SP2 is out. This is a big step for me, and the transition won’t be smooth. I’ll still be around in the community, just not posting anything major… unless I get the itch to do something. Who knows.
Alr, cya.

I do have one, I guess you could call it, requirement:
Some level of consistency.
In order for proper compatibility we'd need to establish some base facts. While I don't want to intrude or control your creative vision, since this is ultimately a collaborative effort I'd suggest contacting me/consulting on some details as to avoid clashes (E.g. make sure the scales of operations match).
Let's be clear, what I have going on is a lot more established and accordingly a lot less malleable, so is less flexible in organizing this. Fortunately there are ways of getting around many issues, so I doubt it will be a massive problem.
@Graingy thank you for understanding.
Tbh I feared you’d be the one to dislike what I’m attempting to do, seems we have more in common than we (I) first thought.
But again, seriously, thank you
Addressing some things in more detail.
I feel, for the Eel War, this is a necessary direction. Graingy is, silly tendencies aside, a pretty damn strong organization with a lot of weight to throw around, and even the Eel Protectorate (that the MWBS is actually fighting), with a tiny fraction of that power, has resources that some cartoon supervillain would be forced to reckon with.
Though it's not clear whether this will be a shift towards the individual (like an inverse of what Subsere has done), or if just cleaning up and formalizing overall presentation (more akin to the Eel Protectorate). A surprise for later, I take it?
Hype. Design is hard, but some help can go a long way. Or, uh, whatever this is. Apparently? Still, I wouldn't fully discount yourself.
Finally, I won't be alone in having excessive background to the point of being incomprehensible.

Alright got my fancy schmancy clothes on.
From the sound of this, sounds sick.
Idk what "J" refers to, not sure if you intend to change your username or what have you, but overall this seems like a good direction to take. Fitting, as Subsere (OrangeConnor2) looks to have been taking a more formal direction since their first post back. (Compare this with this, seems obvious enough to me.)
@ComradeSandman bastard
Hilarious timing fr
Hahhahhhahahaha fool
I am currently conveniently logged into my ALT as of a few seconds ago!
