@DemonSniper8 The speed doesn't matter, I chose 3600 mph because that way you have to fly for exactly 66.6 seconds. 7200 mph would need 33.3 seconds, and so on.
And you can't land on the Brown Pearl. I'm uploading a video, when you watch it you'll see why.
@Notaleopard After I had chased it around in all directions for about a minute, my position was 82 miles east and 14 miles north of the Wright airport spawn.
@Looney That's exactly what I'm doing. However, if you stick around long enough, you'll find that the majority of this community considers using scripts (or your brain, in any other way, for that matter) "cheating".
@Looney Thanks, but I've decided it's much too valuable to release for free. I'd like to leverage it in a game of my own, or license it to a game developer.
@WarHawk95 Well, that's the first time I've heard someone say that. But you understand that there's no point in releasing the tool just for a few people -- the hate currently directed solely at me would then just get spread to include them. The "community" has taken its stance -- until that changes, there's no point releasing the script.
@ChallengerHellcat Oh, plenty of people would love to use it, they just a) couldn't figure out how to use it, and b) for many of them, having previously taken the stance that using a script is "cheating," they'd look pretty silly if they now used it themselves.
@WarHawk95 Sorry, that option is no longer available. I've decided my work is valuable enough that if I release it, it will be in my own game, or licensed to some game developer.
@Dan96230 It's simple: you just install a jet engine pointing downwards through the center of mass, and make its thrust exactly equal to the mass of your build. Add a gyro and you're done. Full tutorial here. If you find that too hard to follow, don't worry, you can just take one of these modules, install them in your build (following the instructions), and that's it.
@Notaleopard This specific design looks like it's not quite sure what it wants to do, since high-mounted wings are for increased stability around the roll axis while anhedral wings reduce stability. This design would make more sense if the wings were dihedral (angled upwards).
With a dihedral wing, when you bank in one direction, the wing on that side becomes more parallel to the ground, thus increasing lift on that side, while the wing on the other side becomes even more angled with respect to the ground, losing lift. This causes the plane to tend to roll back into wings-level position. So dihedral wings are used on aircraft where roll stability is desired, and are mounted high on the fuselage.
Anhedral wings have exactly the opposite effect, and so are used when you want to reduce roll stability. They're typically mounted low on the fuselage.
@AWESOMENESS360 No problem at all. To me, if it's sleek and beautiful, it's a she (XB-70 "Valkyrie," U-2 "Dragon Lady," YF-23 "Black Widow"); if it's chunky and ugly or brutal-looking, it's a he (B-52 "BUFF," C-130 "Fat Albert," etc.).
@WNP78 Why, did you find it by looking inside the game resources?
@Prolex917 This one
@WarHawk95 Why yes, yes I do.
@Notaleopard Sure. The handling seems a bit more sluggish than the default TBV-100 module, but it should be enough if you're a skilled pilot.
@Prolex917 Huh? Doesn't happen to me.

@Prolex917 Why can't you use missiles? I've taken it down with both missiles and guns. Both were modded, though.
@RussianAS @Wrysen @RailfanEthan See updated post for exact directions.
@MisterT @MechWARRIOR57 @Prolex917 See updated post for exact directions.
@WNP78 No harm in asking, especially considering I already found the egg, I think.
@CaptainCommunist Nice job finding the trick.
Thanks, @Clawsome, I'm glad you like the handling as well. I've always thought it a shame to post a build that looks good but doesn't fly well.
Thanks, @Bmcclory, glad you like it.
@ColonelStriker Be advised, rogue ship is very maneuverable and carries an unlimited supply of missiles.
@Notaleopard After I had chased it around in all directions for about a minute, my position was 82 miles east and 14 miles north of the Wright airport spawn.
@SubXTribe Yeah. It's quite hard to hit it, because it moves so fast and zigzags a lot, but it can be taken down with gunfire like the other ships.
@Notaleopard It didn't replace anything, as far as I can tell. It seems to be purely an easter egg added to the game.
@PhilipTarpley
Thanks, @Ariathe. I'm quite pleased with how this version turned out.
@Rawhide Hi, it's over here, though it's not exactly active.
@Looney Careful, someone's going to accuse you of being an alt account of mine... :)
@Looney That's exactly what I'm doing. However, if you stick around long enough, you'll find that the majority of this community considers using scripts (or your brain, in any other way, for that matter) "cheating".
@Looney Thanks, but I've decided it's much too valuable to release for free. I'd like to leverage it in a game of my own, or license it to a game developer.
@Looney I write scripts to help me generate the shapes.

@ChallengerHellcat Where are you getting the idea that "barely anyone wants to use it"?
@WarHawk95 But you see my point of view, I hope.
@WarHawk95 Sorry, that option is no longer available. I've decided my work is valuable enough that if I release it, it will be in my own game, or licensed to some game developer.
@WarHawk95 Well, then you misread it.
@WarHawk95 "Nobody cares"? You have no idea how many people care. Anyway, I'm certainly not abandoning it, I'm just keeping it to myself.
@WarHawk95 I did, it was up for nearly four months. Nobody used it. See my last comment on that post, it'll explain a few things.
@Looney what do you mean? :)
Thanks, @AWESOMENESS360. It's actually the YF-12, which was a more badass version of the SR-71 (it was a missile-armed interceptor).
@Nerfenthusiast I left out the missiles, people can add their own if they like. The A-12 doesn't have the round nose and chopped-off chines.
@CYBERBEAST I will, but don't ask me for a deadline. It'll happen when I feel like it.
@WarHawk95 ...because I'm the one who took it down? I built it, I still have it.
@Pejayous Here you go.
@Pejayous A lot of fuselages, yes, but not much time. As for hacks, yes, it's chock-full of them. Welcome to the wonderful world of XML modding.
@Gameboi14 I use this.

Clever.
@Jim1the1Squid I'm sure I can give you some advice. What do you need help with?
@Jim1the1Squid Well, I did put up a couple of tutorials and parts kits, but hardly anyone used them. So if you want advice, you'll have to ask.
Thanks, @SelectAKey @Ariathe
@Gameboi14 thanks
@TMach5 sure, feel free
@Mumpsy You will not be disappointed.
