@TheCommentaryGuy Isn't the internet a wonderful place...
I genuinely don't know how you can make an accurate replica and still get the scale so off. Isn't that what Fine Tuner is for?
@ollielebanania Did the entirety of what I wrote go over your head?
Seriously?
Would you still play SP if it had no website? If there was no sharing? Because that is, whatever you may or may not claim to the contrary, what you just proposed. The whole reason this site exists is to share one's efforts with others.
Mouse, that's what an aircraft carrier is. Unless you mean a support carrier, which more supports other carriers in logistics rather than fights ("fights") directly. Or, at least, I believe that's what a support carrier does? Supply over sorties?
Anyways, it's not that it's simple so much as just the shape (though it could use more patterns imo, maybe rectangles for elevators or lines designating working areas?). The angled flight deck being longer than the bow deck (and being so wide on one side) is incredibly ugly. Real carriers don't tend to look like that. The rear could maybe also benefit from a slight extension or clipped corners, just to break things up a bit. That's just my two cents, though.
@TheGliderGuy While people (especially Mods) love to say that points don't matter, it cannot, and should not, be understated that the reason many people build stuff on SP, or do things at all in this world, is for the reactions and, hopefully, support, of other people. Most, spare the occasional mouse, sentient plane/tank, or living rock, on this website are human. Humans are social creatures, and many of them will go to great lengths to impress their peers.
Seeing that a great, long effort, intended by and large to impress others, turn out bust or overshadowed can be greatly disheartening. Do keep in mind that upvotes regulate visibility through Top and Hot lists, as well as sorting by Best on a profile. Most people on this site probably aren't playing this game in a vacuum. It's not about how fast or how maneuverable your jet is, or how technically advanced its paneling or FunkyTrees is, it's about if other people like it, and if your time spent was worth it.
So while the numbers may not be super important, they indicate others' reactions, which very much so are.
There are other qualities to this, of course. Getting a bunch of upvotes on a trash can may be much less satisfying that getting a couple on something you worked really hard on/care about strongly, but with comments of praise and deep encouragement (that is, about the features of the craft/effort itself, rather than simply being a new player. That's a different sort of support).
Mouse I am going to be completely blunt, that is probably one of the ugliest flight decks I've ever seen.
Still, interesting. Share to care some stats?
@Boeing727200F The flight computer isn't hooked up to the network. The radio isn't even on! I can see the indicator.
Honestly I don't know how advanced this autopilot is. I think this is one of the newer models, but I'm not certain.
@Boeing727200F Visiting Earth. First time.
North American doesn't even exist anymore, let alone have something capable of breaking into the flight computer. Autopilot impact avoidance would make trying to grab the aircraft virtually impossible, I'm afraid.
@Boeing727200F I should reclarify this plane is very expensive.
Also, I do not float well. I am a rock, keep in mind. A small one, but still big enough to probably just sink.
Block list, for personal reference.
This is not meant to be viewed by anyone, however I do not have unlisteds on this account to use. I am using this to hopefully keep better track of people who I cannot communicate with instead of writing out something massive on something only to find I'm blocked.
If you're seeing this, bugger off.

@Boeing727200F
1: I was carried in the jar
2: Same as 1
3: I can't fly in a jar, this thing's on autopilot. Basically the throttle got cranked and the safety systems kicked in. Canopy went down, gear went up, it's now supersonic.
Help.
@126 Do not damage the jet I do not want to be billed for it.
These things are like $70 Million USD. I'm pretty wealthy as far as Martian Union citizens go but I'm not that wealthy!
@126 Annnd you'd be at war with Graingy.
Trust me, you do not want that.
Besides, I'm not even in the hanger. Where on Earth did you get "I must destroy everything" from a technical malfunction?
(PS: Sorry if I'm a bit sour, I'm currently running on less than an hour of sleep and no chance at getting more anytime soon)

@nukethefrench Suspected as much, frankly.
Also encore (me when I artificially alter common perception in favour of a inauthentic majority)
@Randomplayer Not enough plagiarism
@Boeing727200F And then I'll be stuck in the ocean. I know Martian winds, I don't know North Pacific currents.
Quit upvoting this thing.
