@Samfpanzer Oh well, great then! I said it's comlpicated because there were quite a few times when someone asked for it and they had a hard time understanding it even when I tried to explain how it works, but I guess they were rookies with FT whereas you are not:)
@Samfpanzer I have a little FT code that does the trick. It'd be a bit too long and complicated to explain in one comment but I have a tutorial for it in the Port SP discord server. If you are interested, you can find an invite link in my bio
@Samfpanzer It just uses an overpowered gyro, you can find it hidden inside the first funnel. If you have problem with the ship drifting sideways after turning, then place a large structural wing on the bottom, the stretches almost the entire length of the ship, you can see it on my ship too
@KSB24 Glad I could help with a big info then. That user has a history of using taken builds as challenge entries (or just uploading taken builds or parts without credit in general) so if you are planning another challenge in the future, I recommend checking entries extra carefully
Also if you got two other random pings, those were me too, I tried to tell you this info under his post but he deleted my comments both times and blocked me, showing that he is trying to hide the truth about the build's origins
A little side info: The winner build probably should have been disqualified from the beginning, since it was taken from pacnelvonat's german vehicles pack with minor modifications and with no credit, and the rules of the challenge state that no stealing is allowed. Of course, it's up to KSB24 to decide if it was modified enough to not be considered stolen but I have a feeling he didn't even know that it was taken from someone else
Why does the autocredit direct to Alisuchanka's KV-2? (In fact, why do almost all of your builds direct to it, even ones that have no connection to it at all?)
@DatTrainGuy19 I still plan to make something like that sometime, but it's the same case as the Latécoère 631: the base is so old that at this point it'll be better to start it from scratch
@KAIST idk man, the website rules do forbid misleading thumbnails so if a mod sees this they might take it down if they deem it too misleading. maybe tag one of them and ask them if this is still acceptable or not, that's probably the best way to be sure
Isn't this thumbnail a bit misleading? you show the zwilling version on the thumbnail when this post is in fact the single cannon version and the zwilling is only linked in the description
I'd say my biggest recent disappointment was my Olympic and Titanic. They both got over 50 upvotes but for the amount of work I put into them, I expected at least about 80-ish upvotes, but unfortunately I screwed up by making them be too many parts so most players couldn't even try them out.
This was actually a pretty decent start. In case you need help with a project next time, I figured I'd let you know that there is a discord server dedicated to ship building in SP, where we share our building progress, help each other, have some events and so on. If you are interested, I'll leave an invite link here, I hope you don't mind: >>clicky<<
@SiBangsatYa Since no player uploaded more than one entry last time either I didnt think this is important, but you can enter up to 3 entries (only one of them can make it into the top 3)
@Samfpanzer type ___ in a separate line.
If you go to forums and click on the Useful links pinned post, you can find a Markdown Formatting tutorial post which includes all of these formatting tricks
@PilotBug Unfortunately no, this isnt that type of challenge. But EternalDarkness has an airship challenge going on right now, maybe check that one out.
@Tang0five The Royal Sovereign class is considered as the first real pre-dreadnought type battleship but the line between them and the preceeding ironclad type ships is pretty blurry, so if your design was maybe commissioned slightly earlier than 1890 or something but still generally resembles a pre-dread, then you are still good to go, the 1890 year is more of a guideline here:)
@Blueshift Im glad you like it! If your PC struggles with this, I recommend giving a try to the 1990 part version (link on the top of the description), it has way less detail but all the major functions (all guns and torps usable, walker, bridge interior, HUD) are still there, maybe that will work better:D
@soldier289 I'd love it if you did that! It's already the best Mikasa I could find on the website (hence why I used it for the screenshots), but a little update probably wouldn't hurt
I'm planning to start a Pre-dreadnought challenge in late-November/December, you could maybe enter with a Mikasa remake :D
@Randomplayer oh, it's on the forward mast, just above where the two poles of the mast are connected, slightly below the upper cross pole, there is a thicker cylinder, the HUD is inside that
@Tang0five Thanks! It was first requested about two years ago but I only started seriously working on it about a year ago. I had to restart the hull like 3-4 times, the rest was built within the last 2-3 months
Just a small advice: next time maybe try making a teaser forum post or something and only tag the people who specifically request to be tagged instead of mass tagging randoms, so you won't have to panic and delete comments under your post ;)
@Nitsu and I thank you for participating with your great build! You are on a great path and looking back on your earlier builds, you are imrpoving quickly. Good luck on your future builds!
@Hoawdie Of course! :)
I'll add you to the list as well, I'm looking forward to your entry too!
The real fossil

Thank you for the submission, she looks great! Just a little suggestion: the correct prefix is IJN not Jin
@LJAircraftmanufacturer That's great! I'll add you to the list of participants then! I'm looking forward to your build!:)

@KSB24 Yea fair, I don't want any drama either, I'm just making sure the truth is known, because you said, it's important to be known

@Sharkmanned There is no fuel: the ship uses custom built propellers that dont need any fuel
what exactly did you change?
@Ubyk123 That's literally the thing it uses, haven't you read the description?
did you just... enter your own challenge with an alt account?
+3@Ethantaing I won't
Why does the autocredit direct to Alisuchanka's KV-2? (In fact, why do almost all of your builds direct to it, even ones that have no connection to it at all?)
@SILVERPANZER yea, unfortunately I lost interest in tanks in the past few years, hence why I dont see much of a chance of that particular one finished

@HuskyDynamics01 final part count is around 3680, but Im making a 2k-or-less part version
+1I'm sorry, but I don't remember asking to get tagged, am I missing something here?
@Tookan You might wanna check out the latest entry on my Updates page :)
