Overall this is a good plane, but that's just it, a plane. In my opinion this machine somewhat misses the mark on what a paraplane is. The PX-104 flies pretty well as a plane, however lacks the grace and the control technique of the original paraplane. Also using Asteroids style of rolling via wing warping is not suitable or at all realistic.
This build also has a few other areas that I find lacking, such as how the top cells are entirely rigid, and that the other cells have a limited range of movement.

14/20, it's a good effort and I like the 1920's aesthetic, however the machine has too many deficiencies related to how it flies to warrant the full reward.
TLDR: People take this little plane game seriously, and often view their creations as art. A lot of the people here are also modernist, or people who believe that work of any kind should be rewarded based on how much effort went into making it, a philosophy that flies in the face of the success KoR has achieved.
Ok so, platinum actually has a different name, it's true name is "master", but because that's tacky AF we instead call it platinum. However people still treat it as the endgame goal that should only exist for people who well...master the game. Ren himself has stated that he's quite new and inexperienced. Combine this with a history of mass tagging, an inability to take criticism that isn't coated in a pound of sugar, what many saw as hypocrisy during the german corsair debacle, and generally being unable to learn the unwritten social rules of this community and instead choosing to form a community around himself has led many to be frustrated to downright furious that he's at platinum.
This isn't just going to be buried you know... You have a group of people arguing that people should only be rewarded for the objective quality of their stuff, and the other side arguing that quality is only subjective and that everything is equal except for the value we give it.
It's called Modernism vs. Post-Modernism, and it's a heated debate society has been having since the first nuke went off.
Man, isn't it weird that this whole post is a single sentence...
Also what you complained about is what most of us like about the game, we like having to make our own stuff, we like to not have stuff like bomb bays handed to us.
@47parzival41 I made the suspension on the original car version of this super bouncy so that people would crash into each other if we did races with them in multiplayer. I didn't bother changing if for this 10 minute conversion because it wouldn't have been worth the effort, and crashing is funny.
BuiltBionix, it's time to stop trying to force this meme. Your wife already found a different man and your kids have forgotten you, please, stop while you still can, we are very concerned for your health and sanity.
@Developer I would like to retort by stating that it is far easier to trap someone in a room than it is to trap them in the skies. On top of that, lining up a shot into the ice base is far too difficult for your average troll to attempt, AND you can make it impossible for them to get a lock on you without getting into the base by hiding off to the sides like we were doing in the picture. If they try to enter the base they will simply be traped by some means.
@TigerEye35 Thoughts of extreme glee with crushing disappointment lurking at the back of their minds. They would be joyous knowing that so many people now know of their creation, yet heartbroken knowing what people will do with it.
Ah yes, early SP. This was a time when the highest rated plane and player changed every week. Paneling was done with wings, and the nosecone was the key to complex designs. I still miss it every once in a while.
@Jerba well the idea is that its a balloon held down by a weight, with a winch connecting the two, the maximum extension of the winch could be changed in overload.
Both the winch and the thing holding the balloon up would activate as soon as it spawns.

+1@WiiWiiTheMini Make sure to remember that, it's useful for stoking the flames of internet drama. Which due to its absurdity should be laughed at.

+1Your thinking privilege has been revoked.
+1@TurtlesThatFly yea because that challenge was really good and that kinda build fits the theme of this.

@DanDaFreakinMan the secret is massive scaled down wings, and not setting them to symetric.

+1Try adding damperMultiplier into the left empty box in jointrotor if you're using overload, and in the right box add either 100, 10,000, or 100,000.

@L3dg3ndary sleep deprivation, lots of caffeine, and a truckload of overconfidence makes you say weird stuff.
