@Jim1the1Squid Did you mean modder? Because I'm not one -- I use external scripts, not mods, to build my creations.
As for dogfighting AI, is there any point when most aircraft posted here can barely fly at all? There's other, much more important stuff that needs fixing.
@Stingray All you have to do is, in a code editor, set an attribute disableAircraftCollisions="true" on all parts with a search and replace operation. So if you have:
Part id="1001" partType="Fuselage-Body-1"
you should end up with:
Part disableAircraftCollisions="true" id="1001" partType="Fuselage-Body-1"
Just make sure that if there are any existing disableAircraftCollisions on any parts, you remove them all, otherwise you'll get the same attribute twice on some parts, and the game will refuse to load the file.
@Spectre2520 No brand, I buy the components and assemble the build myself. If you want to have a conversation, have it on one of my posts or yours, instead of someone else's.
@Spectre2520 I'd always recommend getting the PC version, as you probably know. My PC is getting a bit old now (i7 4770K, GTX 1080, 16GB), but can handle SP with no problems.
Nice work, but you're hurting your build's visibility by having it nearly the same colour as the circular pedestal. You can get a designer mod to remove the pedestal and change the background. Also, experiment with different angles for the screenshot, usually a three-quarters view is better than a straight-on one.
@Stingray Well, if you've got it, flaunt it, that's what I say.... Look forward to your feedback. Make sure to test the main cannon on the ships, you might be surprised.
@Texasfam04 Thanks, Tex. I'm actually quite surprised at how well it turned out. If your machine can run this, try shooting at ships with the main cannon. Makes for a nice game of pool :)
@Spectre2520 Maybe because you usually comment on my builds around the time I post them, so I tend to be online around that time. Speaking of which, I'm signing off now.
@Jim1the1Squid Well, I'm not sure what part of my bio gave you that impression, but I'm not one of the game developers.

@Spectre2520 No, not yet. Open to suggestions.
@ChisP trial and error, with some calculation thrown in.
Thanks, @ChallengerHellcat, I'm quite happy with how this one turned out as well.
@ChickenMcNuggets007 Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely fine if you like it; it's just not my thing, that's all.
Thanks, @TRex63
Thanks, @ViciousTNT
@ChickenMcNuggets007 Well, to me it still looks silly. The whole flying upright thing is super silly as well.
@Latios22 Why, isn't the Hercules close enough?
@WIZARD2017 Try lining up two ships and pushing one into the other. Or you can push a ship aground.
@ChickenMcNuggets007 Wow, that's the silliest-looking ship I've ever seen.
Merci beaucoup, @grizzlitn
Y E S @BaconRoll @ChickenMcNuggets007
Thanks @Stingray, good to know.
Thanks, @Spectre2520 @CRJ900Pilot @DemonSniper8
@Stingray This one is under 800 parts, and has a high-vis crosshair.
Good to know, @GhostHTX
@Ephwurd Beacon lights arranged in an arc to form a curved "light bar," and narrow fuselage blocks in a similar arc to form the grill.
@Spectre2520 Yeah, that's what comes of a childhood spent tinkering with things.
Here are some videos:

@Spectre2520 No, that's a designer background mod. The shader doesn't affect the designer screenshots, unfortunately.

@BaconRoll I prefer the black version as well, and was torn between which one to upload for a long time. Maybe I'll upload the black one later...?
Thanks, @CRJ900Pilot.
@Mumpsy Oh yes I did :) Thanks.
@LancasterAce It doesn't just blow them up, it pushes them around as well...

Thanks, @CptJacobson. Star Wars isn't really my thing, so another build may or may not happen.
Thanks, @Spectre2520. No, this is not the "sled," I haven't even thought about it yet.
@Latios22 I already did...

@Stingray Yeah, the velocity of the aircraft is added to the bullet velocity. Try shooting when flying sideways and it'll become clear.
FYI, there are upgraded versions of the plasma shotguns available here. They have a wider spread with more "pellets," and they're quiet as well.
@CRJ900Pilot Brace yourself, a Millennium Falcon is coming.
@Spectre2520 There's an idea. Will an SR-71 sled do?
@Spectre2520 Maybe.
@CRJ900Pilot Hmm, the whole Star Wars aesthetic isn't really my thing, but I'll think about it.
@asteroidbook345 It has no landing gear, so no heels...
Glad you like it, @Sirnubenegra
@ChickenMcNuggets007 You're about eight months late. And as a matter of fact, this one was inspired not by Star Wars, but by the build just before it.
Happy birthday, @EternalDarkness. It's cool how this thing can turn in place. Also quite good at climbing hills.

@Spectre2520 Do I always reply immediately? I just happen to be online right now.
@Spectre2520 Maybe. I don't build on a schedule, but whenever I feel like it.
@Spectre2520 That's called following a mistake with another, but to each his own.
