@Graingy Thanks Soo
(for a "joke" song, it sends the message very well, one of the lyrics that is impactful(to me atleast) is "We do our best to kill and maim, but all the kills all count the same!")
@WritersCrusadersAirCo who said ya can't? my tricks are simple to learn too... my train-of-thought for my structures are basically "Low as low as it gets without sacrificing appearance.", how do you interpret this using this build as an example? well, there's a lot to say... starting from the bottom of the Lighthouse... i didn't model the stairs 1:1, people know it's there, and theres the basic shape of it, thats enough. windows? those are labels, up close yes, people would see that it doesn't exactly plaster to the lighthouse, but from afar? no one is the wiser. then we start getting to the... support struts, that is something that you will see, and you will notice, i didn't skip that one and spent a few parts to make it seem "supported" instead of opting for one giant block. the railings.. no one is the wiser too, it isn't exactly round, and that's okay, because the aim is to "get by as close as possible", not 1:1. then we come to the top, glass for the light room, and for the most top where there is a little decoration... i used a resized magnet and a gyroscope, bam.
tl;dr, be witty and use as much tricks, resize parts, use labels(very much a great part saving trick, railings, windows, etc.), detail with the vague shape, not exact.
there is a difference between seeing something up close and 100m away, people are none the wiser most of the time.
also, tricks for islands, use fuselage cones for the grasslands(and hills, useful.), create vague shapes by fuselage cutting them apart, imperfections are perfect, go as mad as you like with it.
@WritersCrusadersAirCo hey, what's up with that mentality.. we can have more lighthouses in the site y'know, the more the merrier! come on, there's a reason i put Roman numerals too on each type of my structures, they ain't the only one to come!
@VTPADELTA HE is weird in Simpleplanes, to explain it simply... Basic(a.k.a AP) deals physical damage in form of HP, HE... deals psychology damage that the fuselages disconnects themself out of shame, upping the health doesn't matter either since it seems like there's an Explosive Resistance cap.. so per technically, Itsuku-sushi-ma is better of getting hit with AP, hell, IRL too is the same cause that shit would overpenetrate, such is the case with Warspite and Fritz X, "tanked" a lot while it's actually per technically overpenetrated, compare it to Roma which is the perfect size to hit a Fritz X in one go
don't think you can actually... unless you use like, custom fuselage wheels and such but like, "why would you?" is the question I'll ask back probably, then again, thas me only, so maybe anyone else have an idea?
@VTPADELTA fair, compared to typical ships though, my system is a bit better at tanking missiles, not impervious, but generally better, 0.2-0.4 depending on some stuff
depends, User craft? preferably mid-to-high detailed. AI craft? low as low as possible without sacrificing appearance(e.g. liberal use of labels replacing railings here railings there etc etc)
@Graingy hmh.
(it's a great Anti-war song, despite the lyrics being somewhat gore-ey and terrifying, basically explains what the Vietnam Vets seen there.. [ Link ])
@Graingy ...i guess he decided that I am your... pun-ishment ahaaaaaaa... this would be very... pun! I can't wait to crack more... punny stuff- I mean, come on, you can't even do anything, it's not like you can... pun-t me across and into the wall :P
