Oh yeah, I well know, I just want people, bystanders, to know I' fed up with this bullcrap. This exact thing is what killed my RP years ago, and I'm not gonna sit back and let it tear apart someone else's.

If they look anything like they were meant to float in water... You might as well be throwing a brick at the sky and hoping for the best...
Literally any flat surface would cause enough air resistance to destroy the ship just ascending the lower atmosphere
@CptJacobson
The United States attempt at a space plane, the Space Shuttle, is an utter failure when compared to the plan for the shuttle (50 launches were planned yearly for all 6 shuttles, but ended up very quickly to just 4 every year for the entire fleet). A cost effective method of getting large payloads into space, while being almost completely reusable, but eventually ended up as one of the most statistically dangerous space craft, and significantly more expensive than the conventional single-use rockets other countries had (mainly the Soviet Union/Russia)
While the Space Shuttle is nowhere near the size of the ISS, and significantly cheaper, just maintenance bloated its cost over time.
Now, scale that up to the size of whatever warship you have floating in space. Carries large sums of fuel, weapons, extremely heavy armor, and crew of almost 500 people that require somewhere to work, eat, sleep, and perform bodily functions.
Theres no way such a craft could be aerodynamic enough, fuel efficient enough, powerful enough to make it into orbit and still have enough fuel to not require refueling in space, which in itself requires a seperate rocket launch to get the fuel into space to even refuel the ship if it were needing it.
Now, sure, yeah, pull a cop out like technology from 100 years in the future, maybe dark matter or nuclear power (which in itself is significantly too weak to get into space, even with modern technology).
Not to mention that some form of space fleet would be really useless if some form of... oh, I guess some space colony that you probably have.
@CptJacobson
The International Space Station, the largest and longest lasting man-made and artificial object in orbit around space, cost around 150 billion USD... and thats the culmination of over a dozen countries pitching in parts and funding for the station over decades...
Now 35 warships that I presume are larger than the ISS, and we're literally looking at a logistical nightmare; getting parts assembled on Earth in a sterlized workspace, then moving those parts into a shuttle capable of launching large chunks of the warship into space (which alone can cost upwards of a billion per launch, depending on the method used to leave the atmosphere), get the part there without have an admittedly small chance of mishap or unplanned rapid disassembly, just to be assembled in orbit around Earth and hope one of the billions of micro debris in orbit doesn't happen to hit the warship-in-construction and critically damage it.
Just imagine doing this 35 times without a hiccup...
of course you do...
Well, considering it's a massive space fleet, such an endeavour of planning, gathering suplies, building factories and workshops, transporting segments to space, and then building each massive ship would literally have to be a global effort.
But then a glance at how many times each country has been at war with each other, the ability to even assemble these massive ships in space -let alone get them to space- would be virtually impossible without some form of sabotage or blockade.
@CptJacobson
Thanks!
Yea, I'd like to actually see this come Sunday, without those "spoilers" and the such.
Make sure to tag me in the comments when it comes out.
@DemXu
Oh yea, I know this video is old. I just kiiiinda wanted to be up here first.
But no worries, I'm planning on actually posting something recent later today.
@CrashFighter05
Oh, I definitely get users not having Discord or Reddit, but when the most vocal users of the RP don't appear to be using either, then something's probably off.
Also, Ethernal is probably saying otherwise in the comments, considering I've only seen 2 moderators make opinions about Simplelandia.
@xGeneralFischx
Not really. Playing a stock Tiger 2 or Panther F against stabilized early British MBT's is an utter pain. It's worse than the mild bias towards Soviet tanks...
@Strikefighter04
I've been one shot by a Swordfish, pilot sniped from probably a mile back in a 110.
Then got one shot by an A-20 from well over a mile away through a couple mm thich plate... game makes no sense really.
@Strikefighter04
Mmm, depends on which one I guess.
Ones closer to the end of WW2 are a bit better in my books, but closer to today I've not got much a care for.
@BlueCitrus
Not questioning skills or anything with this, but I already figured you wouldn't of been able to figure it without having the phone in-person. Still, I appreciate the help, and I'll keep that stuff in mind.
@BlueCitrus
The phone was just off, clicked power button and all.
And year...? Mmm, not too sure of that, but considering my past luck of phones, theres just a good chance my phone literally did it for no reason.

Then they're basically space planes...
Space planes just don't work well.

@CptJacobson
And I assume these are large and imposing warships, no?
@CptJacobson
of course you do...

@CptJacobson
Genuinely not suprised by this. Regardless, like your flag/emblem, it's definitely a few notches above the competitors.
@CptJacobson
The engine mod has an issue where it doesn't display current fuel levels, so it burnt through all the fuel just then
@pilotred233
I'll see about finishing it up sometime soon.
And click "create" on the video page, the button by Hottest and Highest Rated.
@Supernovaboss504
Sounds going into ears? If not that, then I guess magic.
@Supernovaboss504
I'd say ask the magic mirror and see what it says. I hear it says what I say, but as me, or you. I dunno.
@Supernovaboss504
Thanks!
Yea, I'd like to actually see this come Sunday, without those "spoilers" and the such.
Make sure to tag me in the comments when it comes out.
@DemXu
I dunno, I'm not even sure if it's me answering your question or not.
@Supernovaboss504
Thats a lovely question I like to ask myself, and when I answer back, I say I'm 80% sure it's actually me saying it's me.
I think.
@Supernovaboss504
I assumed my past 2 posts and teasers told so?
Yeah, I'm very much alive, and junks.
@CptJacobson
Same, lovely feature for sure. Super specialized too, so it doesn't outright make forums redundant, yet.
@CrashFighter05
Oh yea, I know this video is old. I just kiiiinda wanted to be up here first.
But no worries, I'm planning on actually posting something recent later today.
@CrashFighter05
That moment when I uploaded a video seconds after the Devs, and it's not even a recent video.
Np mate

@xGeneralFischx
Well, I assumed the Fw 42 I built way back was evidence enough, but eh.
@Strikefighter04
why ya asking, you a nark or something?
@Strikefighter04
I'm familiar with the site, but I haven't used a design from it in a while.
@Strikefighter04
Danke!
@Strikefighter04
It sounds like CoL is being moved ahead of CoM when adding wings.
@cammando205
I'm like, 90% sure you're 3 years too late for a correction.

@Strikefighter04
Um, okay.
@TheDerpingMemes
Probably, but this thing isn't exactly intended for carrier actions.
@TheDerpingMemes
Thanks
@Lahoski107
Thanks!
@SakuraSaku
A dead RP, that also makes me wonder how you got here.
@ChiyomiAnzai
It's central time zone for me here. Probably the same time zone as the devs now that I think about it.
@BlueCitrus
While I'm not too particularly into flight sims, it's something I guess I could look into come morning.

Mmm, depends on which one I guess.

@BlueCitrus
Yea, had it face down on the table while trying to enjoy some pancakes.
@BlueCitrus
Um, no, it's an Android.
@BlueCitrus
Nah, I had WiFi off when there.
Also appreciates it
@BlueCitrus
Np, lovely creation you made
@FENRIRpapapa
Wat
Thanks
@CptJacobson
I guess my Fw 324 would make a good plane with a modification or two.
The naval bomber? Well, glad I inspired ya m8.
@DanDaFreakinMan
Maybe something like an M2 Medium or M2A2 (not the Bradley) would be interesting to see, since I haven't seen one on the site
