This post is so far against the rules that it would have earned you a ban back when I was a moderator. Let's wait and see what current moderators think about this blatant abuse of the point system.
Plutonium weighs around 19,840kg/m^3. A sphere of 1.5m in diameter (this sphere) has a volume of 14.14m^3. If it were made of plutonium, it would weigh 280537.6kg. More than 20 times the weight you have here (:
It's not worth it. Live for the good times, not for iffy times between them.
One thing that might help is keeping a diary of good things. Don't be lazy to write in it. If you hear a nice song, write it down. Had fun with friends? Write it down. Had a nice conversation with someone, write it down. It helps to remind you that good times aren't as rare as you think.
A good thing to do would also be to go out with some friends, have a coffee, maybe beer,...
Trust me, I've been there. It gets better.
If you are interested in improving your shipbuilding skills, you might want to check out PortSP Discord server. It's all about making ships on SP.
As for the propeller, edit "chord scale" to around 10 for it to work under water. If it doesn't, add more chord scale. Basically, you need higher number there the deeper you go.
You can also make custom propellers, either stuffing them with wings so they provide actual propulsion, or using them as a decoration and having the actual propulsion come from hidden jet engines.
@AndrewGarrison I have tried to track don the bugs I reported (Backspace not deleting parts and Fine Tuner being bricked), but the issues seem to have been resolved. Since there was a bit of downloading when I opened the game, I guess you patched it.
Deleting parts with backspace button doesn't work. Other keyboard inputs are working properly.
Fine Tuner mod is bricked. It doesn't move or rotate parts.
@Koko11 in "Quality settings". It is actually called "Predictor" there. Set it to "High". Then you ill have a green line from your gun to where the shell will drop.
@IceCraftGaming it is very easy to keep a server SFW. On my own server, PortSP, posting NSFW content results in an immediate permanent ban, Admin involvement in conversations encourages more professional tone, and server is of the kind where peoole really don't want to get banned.
@WarringMunky on the topic of your enthusiasm for the game, given the average quality of your builds, community is not at much of a loss there. As for the context to the comment, it is a standard practice to permanently ban all accounts whose owners are known to be younger than 13 and who cannot prove parental supervision, due to US laws (Jundroo is based in the US). That's how we prevent pedophilia on the internet, to the best of our abilities and authority.
Congratulations to the winners, and to the host.
This challenge has pushed the limits of shipbuilding on SP, and yielded some amazing vessels. Good job guys.
@imprezamk I don't. It's simpler to let others deal with the miscreants. I've had my boost of reputation out of it, and there was nothing left for me in that role anyway.
You could maybe have a small piece somewhere creating drag. If you are sure it's not that, it could be mass. Make sure that collisions are disabled on all moving parts, as that can cause roll too.
Another common mistake is airfoil of the vertical stabilizer or rudder not being symmetric.
This is a beautiful build. It flies very well, behaves like an airship, weapons are functional...
It is under-detailed. If your device can run more parts, I suggest going all out on this concept. If not, perhaps build a smaller one so you can detail it.
Either way, I enjoyed playing with this build. Cheers.
That's a stupid default remove message for copies. I hardly ever used it when I was a moderator, since it poorly explains the offense.
I always sought to leave more precise and witty remove/ban messages.
@Clutch123 I can no longer help you with that kind of thing, and Andrew generally doesn't bother with the community. I think @Vincent is your best bet.
(Vincent, if you are reading this, bottom comment)
Is the challenge accepting armored fighting vehicles that border on tanks or are often mislabeled as tanks, such as assault guns, self-propelled artillery, wheeled vehicles with tank guns, and tank destroyers?
By the way, this is a pretty nice challenge. Good luck with it.
@LobsterBisque128 you are allowed to use any engines you want, of course. I have provided these for the people who have no previous experience in making things levitate. As for the rest, I don't quite understand what you mean.
@BluestBoi oh, never mind that. When you have a history of hosting popular challenges, you learn to use as much of a harsh tone as you can. It makes people read the rules carefully, resulting in higher quality of entries, and more good airships for the community to enjoy.
@BluestBoi this challenge template has been developed by me years ago, and has since been copied by pretty much every successful challenge. If you don't like it, you don't have to participate.
Besides, while I would accept criticism of a fellow veteran player, I will not accept it from someone who hasn't even seen a fraction of this community yet, or explored one hundredth of the possibilities this game has to offer.

+3@FlyingPotato_131 sweet. I'll be rating the latest version.
@FlyingPotato_131 no worries.
Thanks for the entry, it looks great (:
I suggest adding a few pictures of it in action to description for a few extra points.
@Type2volkswagen you're in time for the challenge. I'm just waiting for one more entry.
+1I like this one.

It looks amazing B. I love it.

According to Wiki, harvestmen are one of the spiders in a 1800 species strong daddy long legs family.
Nice build.

@AshdenpawTG22 that's a really long shot. It must have taken some patience.
@AndrewGarrison I will investigate as soon as I get home. Backspace for deleting parts worked previously. Thank you for your time.

@Koko11 turn your bomb aiming indicator on in the settings.

+2A very fine build, especially for the part count. It has a bit of trouble losing speed, but other than that, flies very well.

Perhaps you should have also added an image of what it does in the description. Other than that, nice build.
+4@SanyaPAM12 probably not. I'm not active anymore.
@Sockdragger Thank you. I'm glad you've enjoyed the little details, I was wondering if anyone will notice them when I was building it.
Mods, please ban this underaged user.
+6Happy SP birthday D.
Congratulations to the winners, and to the host.
+5This challenge has pushed the limits of shipbuilding on SP, and yielded some amazing vessels. Good job guys.
Very nice ship, mate. Very round too. Hardly a Dreadnought due to the lack of turrets, but still a very interesting build.
+2@WinsWings it is.

@Quartz05 you don't have to, of course, though you could benefit from it. We're sharing ideas and techniques there.

I don't know if you already have them, but I'd like to see your take on my two favorite planes, Antonov An-2 and Pilatus Pc-6.

It looks really nice. I'll accept it without any penalty, despite the part count. Thanks for the entry (:
@XandyCandy this challenge is still ongoing. You are free to participate.
This should have been a forum post. Builds are for when you actually build something. This isn't worth fifteen points per upvote.
+7@ACGspOfficial let's say a winner should receive ten upvotes. You go to ten of their builds, and upvote them. That's really all there is to it.
+3@Randomplayer sure.
@ACGspOfficial by upvoting their builds.
+1@ShocK69 why don't you make one?
@32 it isn't. It has too few parts, and I don't think it stands enough chance to win for me to excuse that. It is an interesting build though.
