@FinalGambit Welcome. As for tips, learn the fundamentals first, before progressing to complex builds. Try to be unique, don't just do the same thing everyone else is doing. Get into XML modding from the beginning. And have fun.
@FinalGambit that's pretty much what i do - build designs that vary greatly in aesthetic style but have the best performance that SP can offer. All my airplanes perform equally well, so the user is completely free to choose whatever they like based purely on the looks.
@DerekSP The ice base has already been dealt with. And I do have an aimable cannon that can hit the WW2 destroyers. I'll convert that to a fixed-aim one and upload it sometime.
@Jetpackturtle Thanks. I did make one, but probably won't be making any more. Mainly because due to some real-life events, I now have a deep loathing of loud noises.
@MasonForester It's not a VTOL engine, it's a whole system I came up with. You can read about it here. You can use that as a chassis for your VTOL builds. The movement speed is controlled by the engines' power.
Glad you like them, @Zanedavid. By the way, if you like a build, you can upvote it -- it doesn't cost anything and it makes the uploader feel better :)
Thanks, @FlyingFish1 . I take great pride in the performance of my builds. My dive bombers can actually dive bomb accurately, and my long-range artillery can in fact hit targets on other islands.
@MasonForester Sure. Do you just want modded engines, or do you want them hooked up to a specific input, like roll/yaw? If you just want modded engines, you can grab my parts kit here. It has engines with up to 50x power output. If that doesn't do what you need, let me know and I'll make a custom post for you.
@MI Big builds have lots of advantages, and as far as I can tell, no disadvantages other than not being able to land on the carriers. They're also bigger targets in dogfights, but as long as both planes are big that just adds to the fun.
@chancey21 Yes, but the part count would be prohibitive. It'd have to be made up of a bunch of tapering rings, and each ring would need, at a minimum, 30 parts. So if you use 10 rings, you'd need 300 parts, and it still wouldn't look smooth.
@Mustang51 Way to ruin a party. They don't tend to take no for an answer either, right? I used to think women made too big a deal out of harassment, but after experiencing firsthand what hateful pests some "men" can be, I finally understood how bad women have it.
@Mustang51 Well, that's all good then. It's sad I had to ask, but after quite a few nasty surprises I've learned to be suspicious of compliments from men.
@CRJ900Pilot Yeah I got that, thanks, but the way you phrased it ("it still looks cool") sounds like "It looks cool even though...", that's all. I know what you meant.
Oh, I know anything can be made to fly in SP. I meant that there isn't much for a submarine-as-submarine to do in SP. Nice build, though it could use some missile tubes with operational hatches.

@CRJ900Pilot That's exactly what I was going for, good catch.

@FinalGambit Thanks. I originally intended to, but most people in this community have ignored me, or treated me with disrespect. So...

@KillerDread OK, I'll make a parts post soon and I'll include that.
@iLikeipads Thanks, but mass destruction? My weapons are very precise, the opposite of mass destruction...
Thanks, @Zanedavid

@123Planebuilder Yeah, I could do that. I'll put it on my list.
@QingyuZhou I know, right?
@KSPFSXandSP Actually, it's the Command and Service Module... and I used 'Eagle' because it's cooler than 'Charlie Brown' etc.
Thanks, @FlyingFish1
Thanks, @Davisplanez

Thanks, @CRJ900Pilot
@chancey21 Nope. I don't use any third-party software other than a code editor.
@chancey21 Yes, but the part count would be prohibitive. It'd have to be made up of a bunch of tapering rings, and each ring would need, at a minimum, 30 parts. So if you use 10 rings, you'd need 300 parts, and it still wouldn't look smooth.
Thanks, @chancey21, that's good to know.
@Stingray Air-to-ground something, huh? Sounds interesting.
@Stingray link
@Stingray yeah, it should be in my two most recent posts pages. Missile pod, burst fire it's called.
@Sunnyskies the angle is fine, i meant removing the platform and using a brighter background using a designer mod.
@Stingray thanks, don't forget the modded interceptors though.
Thanks, @Alpha029 . It's actually very simple: Make it look fast, powerful and dangerous.
@FlyingNarwhal There's a third bridge?
@Mustang51 Yeah, I guess it is. Anyway, I'm signing off. Watch out for dem pests.
@Mustang51 Yep. Next time you see a woman, give her a hug and say "I understand."
Oh wait...

@Jetpackturtle Easy there, Whitney Houston...
Why, thank you, @Davisplanez
Nice. I think you're doing yourself a disservice by not using better screenshots for your airplanes.
@CRJ900Pilot Yeah I got that, thanks, but the way you phrased it ("it still looks cool") sounds like "It looks cool even though...", that's all. I know what you meant.
@Mustang51 Err, are you hitting on me now? 'Cause I don't swing that way.
@CRJ900Pilot Thanks, but if I didn't think it looked cool I wouldn't have uploaded it...
@CRJ900Pilot Yeah, I suppose there's a resemblance, though I conceived it as a generic 4.5-gen fighter.
@Mustang51 If I was compensating, I'd be building really tiny airplanes...
Wow. The interior especially is really nice.
Thanks, @Mustang51. I have my reasons for building big, you know :)
Thanks, @Treadmill103. I'm always torn between adding more detail and keeping part count low enough to be usable for most people.
