@Solent19 I pride myself on making smooth, near timeless looking designs. @ThomasRoderick (someone I very often ask for opinions) would agree too. He knows how much I like to overdo the beauty over functionality 💀
It has been getting better with the newer stuff I make though, the form follows function ideaology.
Simply put, try making each of your fuselage pieces purposeful to a sort of... "Flow". One piece transitions to another.
THAT SAID
-It doesn't actually fly properly without the weapons due to badly balanced CG to the point where it can't even take off
-People download it WITHOUT The weapons attached, which alone is not really a good thing, but okay, you wanted to show the weapons in a cool way, let people choose and all, but it not being able to fly without them is a problem.
-For what it is, that cockpit doesn't even have a screen.
Don't let that discourage you because those are just criticisms. There's things to like here like
-Good design. Everything flows and the wings are big enough to accommodate more weight which will help with CG.
-The concept in general of letting people choose weapon loadouts is interesting, but it needs to be better executed.
Read the entire thing and I am left rather... I won't say confused, but disoriented. There's huge potential here. The concept of switching to the ethereal being state or whatever that is meant to be can be used immensely well if executed well
Here though... it's uh... it's just daunting. I can't tell what is happening and the main character literally seems to not give a shit. That said, the descriptions that you wrote are great. It paints a vivid picture... and there is, having read the entire thing, a possibly good plot at play here. But it does need a heck of a lot of work to reach that potential it set. Let me know if you want me to try writing it in my way and attempt to fix the issues I pointed out
To elaborate on the clarity thing, early on, I can't tell what the stakes are at hand. I can't tell what is going on until much later when the action has long since started. It's only when our main character is beelining towards the broken tubes that I realized that the guys need to fix it quick or the ship can't fire back.
@ZerkkOtakuGuy what the hell... its my birthday too.
Lets go dude.
Added bonus, I abso-fricking-lutely love Bocchi. That one scene with here improvised solo, holy crap!
@SuperSuperTheSylph dont worry much about me. I've still got some juice left in me, just need a break and then I'll be able to finish the video, hopefully by July end. Thank you for your continued support, much love ❤️
@Dracul0Anderson I tried that.
I spent almost my entire half of the day today just trying to write down notes for all the current ones. But eh... I kinda have to get it rushed since I promised 16th.
@Rb2h Well, you were on the front page because you made a surprisingly decen plane. Now... I have your results and criticisms almost ready. Let me know if you want them personally right now or you want to wait till everyone's is done.
@keiyronelleavgeek566 Thank you. Again. ❤️❤️
I also would like to thank everyone else involved, they've been a massive help and support for me among other amazing things. I would tag all of them here to let them know that I'm really glad to have them, and it's a good thing I have something MUCH bigger planned instead HEHEHE :D
@hpgbproductions I noticed that too. I really hope that doesn't mean DLC skins. God forbid. I want new maps as DLC's or new missions as DLC's. Please for the love of God lert there not be corporatization (Not like I'm worried. Jundroo has never let us down to be honest.)
@Graingy it's a very small penalty
-10 out of 1000.
You have to keep some collateral for those who submitted on time to keep things fair. The only point of contention is with what SkyJay has... He did make the entire plane on time, he just wants a video.
That's said, for Windshifter and Toetips, it makes complete sense. Both of whom made changes to the descriptionAfter the deadline. This is a problem because the description was very clearly a criteria of the challenge.
@keiyronelleavgeek566 thank you so much. That means a lot to me. After, all I'm still making sure all participants... And well, all supporters as well are still being tended to. I just made this change where I'll still allow people to submit whatever they were making by the end of the month to get 20 upvotes just for trying.

Wonder how it'd look if you uploaded your own iteration of the echostar.

+2@OrangeConnor2 just did.
+2@Graingy I---don't---know---i---ended---up---typing---away
+2@ThomasRoderick This man really had to come out and make everything anyone would ever need for a cockpit 2 years later, eh?
Can't blame him. I would have used every last one of these in the Echostar if I had the chance only because this some quality product right here🤌🤌
+2I just wanna say, that as of right now, 11 minutes after posting this... we have more upvotes than download... 💀
+2@ThomasRoderick

+1@TheMouse While I can't qualify the updated version, I might be able to include it as a part of the criticisms post.
+1@SkyJayTheFirst is decidedly not going to have any pen.
+1@LunarEclipseSP yep!
+1@MA2211CwCABaerospace I just realised you had updated your description later as well, right?

+1@keiyronelleavgeek566 it will take a bit more time than that... But it won't take long.
