Just a couple more tweaks and I'm probably going to post my car tomorrow. I'm following the rules of course, but I'm taking a less traditional approach.
@TheTrainMakerBois987 I'm switching my focus to mobile friendly builds. The Escort was a test for a more iconic rally car, which I'm hopefully going to have out this weekend.
@realSavageMan honestly it's the best, in my case, 600-700 is perfect. Hopefully you got your chance to ride this one. Nights in the observation car across the Mojave is the best place to work on projects.
I took my infant on this train when I brought my family back home, now he watches it drive around the game map day. Your model probably has as much rail time as the real thing. Love your builds. Not too many parts but still well detailed.
Your builds are good, and you have a good understanding of building in panels which is a very hard technique, even for some platinums. You just need some proper marketing... Spotlight time.
@catzilla it's was actually my father's call sign. Electronic Warfare is where the Echo Whiskey part comes from. Now a days the name serves more peaceful role.
@AndrewGarrison Thank you very much. I'll make sure to swap in out. I'll be honest I've never swapped the XML before. Just to make sure I'm doing it right. First I make a new unlisted post, use the Download XML option from that post, and copy it to the Update XML option on this post right?
@laSoul Awesome, and thanks. Believe it or not, I had to do that a couple times, sometimes even on symmetrical builds, where the game wasn't a fan of something the size of an aircraft carrier trying to be an aircraft. I'll usually go down to .1, to be fair, but your right, sometimes it's not really an option. 0 on thrust, definitely though. I tried giving my Krait 12 authentic engines, that sat high above the CG, you probably know how that worked out. So I ended up putting the actual engines inside the model and make the visible "Engines" fire shooters.
@AndrewGarrison Hey Andrew, first I'd like to say it's an honor to have you look at this build. You are correct, unfortunately the current builds buttons don't work the way they are intended. It's something I just noticed now. Apologies,
@laSoul You as well and thanks, I got more stuff in the works, maybe too much, but I'm focusing a low part counts these days. As for size tricks, well my upcoming builds will be tipping the 200 meter mark, so yeah, I'll need to think small and build big.
@idk201011323 cool, I'll give you heads up when that one comes out. It'll be a while though. The flight deck is the hardest part of the build, but also the most important.
@idk201011323 is that around the same time period of the NCC-1701? I actually built a Constitution Class rough model, but I've been spending my time refining an Avenger Class.
@idk201011323 Thanks, and definitely, that sounds like a cool build idea. What Era were you thinking though? An Enterprise or BOP would probably be classes up in the same size and speed of of my Krait build, probably a bit bigger, but I'd try to keep the parts budget in the 500-600 range.
@Pyrrha thanks, I'm glad you like the build. I'm currently drafting a fighter that is supposed to replace it, but I'll be honest I got a little carried away with this new update. Thanks again,
@KOZAK1178 Thanks, I hope you enjoy it. I made the base model white for the sake of if looking military, but paint it anyway you want, the first paint block lets you customize the ships accents, and the last one I think controls the lights.
@Falco7 He (assuming it's a he given the name) is probably just taking a break for school or work. Simple Planes can be draining, and the community sometimes doesn't help.
@DaPandaBoi69420 That's the chorus of 12 jet engines going off at the same time. There's actually 14 total, the 12 being for show since it was difficult to get the ship to fly in a straight line and control it with all the extra pull.
@Biasunrussian sounds good, this thing is an old build too, and I've learned a lot since it was first built. Time for a remake. Manual, minor details, maybe some part reduction and performance improvement. Sounds like a good list to go off of.
@Falco7 I'm planning on a light version in the future. This was more for the new VR/Gauges update. What is the part limit your phone can handle? That way I know what target I should go for.
@Werboithescientist Thanks, I upgraded to an Imperial Eagle but had the same issues. I didn't make any money in Elite till I became an intergalactic Uber with the Dolphin. It's dumb how you make the most money in the most boring ways playing Elite. They've fixed a lot, but it might be a little too late I think.
Hey guys, thanks for the upvotes and I hope you enjoy the model. Recently I've been tuning it and fixing many issues, primarily the speed issue. Since the update there are some other things I want to do to really bring out the best in this design and you can expect the same to be done with my Eagle as well. I'll probably have an updated version ready sometime early November.
@Gluck thanks, Elite Dangerous players fall into a small niche in the SP community. It's not like a Millennium Falcon, or the latest version of a Suhkoi from Ace Combat. This build is for a small community, maybe somebody missing their Krait, Eagle, or maybe even Anaconda while they are on the road. Upvotes are cool, but giving someone the ability to take their ship with them anywhere they go is well worth the labor.
Update in the works, the drag model on this thing is terrible and has been improved along with better handling, more armor and bigger guns. I have some larger ships planned so I want this thing to feel more like a light Corvette in comparison.

Hey, is it cool if I borrow these wheel? I am making a GT touring car for competition.
@TheTrainMakerBois987 I'm switching my focus to mobile friendly builds. The Escort was a test for a more iconic rally car, which I'm hopefully going to have out this weekend.
Nice tank destroyer variant 👍
@Redheadracer48 Definitely, I'm happy to help. I'll check it out 👍
Ah yes, another Viper special
@AviationCat007 thanks 👍

@Falco7 Probably not, it's not something hard to do, just something that isn't really practical in Simple Planes.
Your builds are good, and you have a good understanding of building in panels which is a very hard technique, even for some platinums. You just need some proper marketing... Spotlight time.
I can relate to this build, my friends say the exact same thing about me, Upvote.
@V No worries, Thank you very much
New Quest Started: Wild Card Side Bets

@KnightOfRen Thank you very much. Honestly I happy people is enjoying the build. You did a lot to get this one noticed and I'm very thankful.

@Genzer11 sure, I definitely approve mods and upgrade.

@Vincent awesome thanks
Is there a SP community for futuristic builds by any chance?
@Pyrrha thanks, I'm glad you like the build. I'm currently drafting a fighter that is supposed to replace it, but I'll be honest I got a little carried away with this new update. Thanks again,

Once again, credit to @PlanariaLabs. Some of you might recognize the HUD.
@Falco7 I was wondering if you could test this design out.
@Falco7 Will do
Looks good, building panel by panel is never easy, but you did a solid job.
@Falco7 Cool, I'm finishing up a potato version, just some mobile testing and fixing some FT bugs.
@Biasunrussian sounds good, this thing is an old build too, and I've learned a lot since it was first built. Time for a remake. Manual, minor details, maybe some part reduction and performance improvement. Sounds like a good list to go off of.
@Falco7 I'm working on a version for the mobile community. Could you work with 460?
@Viper_Z3R0 Definitely, it was a fun challenge, and you provided great chassis to build off of. I also have an Artillery version in the works too.
Just updated the description. Still had the old stuff from the old post. Hopefully the controls makes sense.
@Falco7 I'm planning on a light version in the future. This was more for the new VR/Gauges update. What is the part limit your phone can handle? That way I know what target I should go for.
@MAHADI I do like unique propulsion systems, and it's basically a space ship minus the space.
@Werboithescientist Thanks, I upgraded to an Imperial Eagle but had the same issues. I didn't make any money in Elite till I became an intergalactic Uber with the Dolphin. It's dumb how you make the most money in the most boring ways playing Elite. They've fixed a lot, but it might be a little too late I think.
Impressive, I'll give credit on a build when using this, it definitely has that unmistakable PlanariaLab touch.
An elegant weapon, from a more civilized (minus nuclear Holocausts) age
That's okay, the time spent grinding money in WOT is much better invested getting upvotes in simple planes instead.

@Sm10684 my bad, I put that down thinking it was for builds for a competition and challenges. Corrected
