@Graingy Well it has indeed been some 6 years since I've actually built something in this game. I do still remember how incredibly limited one's options with umodified parts are, though I figured that since we are going to have astronomically more vanilla part modification and customisation options built in to SP2, an optional, full limitation of modded parts could be perfectly feasible there. Applying limitations to individual XML values sounds like it would be a rather cumbersome process to set up as a host and difficult to communicate to other players.
All the trolls would obviously be limited to any other servers, yes. I'm not sure if the ability to kick and ban people exists in SP2 already, but that would certainly be some level of a solution in any case. I would imagine these possible limited servers always being a minority though, being primarily used to level the playing field for stuff like PVP and racing. I could imagine there being a demand for something like this.
Of course it remains to be seen how severe of a problem any of this will even be in the game's early access release with the entire massive map unlocked.
@Graingy Yeah, I think SP2 really needs some kind of a "Allow XML modding" toggle for multiplayer lobbies. Lobbies with weapons enabled really to not be very fun when a lot of the time there's someone either spamming dozens of impossibly fast missiles at you the moment you spawn in and the moment you get a lock on one of them they start spamming flares seemingly ad infinitum, not to mention all the people constantly detonating nukes at the airport.
There was something like this for tournaments way back in the day. The now-developer HellFireKoder even made a mod that can check a build's properties in the designer to validate if it's eligible or not for different kinds of tournaments, so I don't see why it could be any sort of a technical impossibility for SP2.
@TheLoadingGorilla Yeah a couple of people on the Discord are saying the same. What's the exact process you followed?
Do you click "Add Screenshot", click the now visible blue button with the camera symbol on it at the bottom-center of the screen, then hear a kind of camera shutter sound while the UI disappears for a couple of seconds and does the image then get automatically attached to the report? And I take it you had logged in prior?
That's how it is for me except it doesn't attach the screenshot to the report.
@dekanii Yeah it's an old work computer upgraded into a gaming pc by this local company that does stuff like this. Got it for significantly cheaper than a brand new equivalent.
A+ for effort, but the truth is that this build would most likely have less than 100 parts had you used fuselage blocks. It therefore would not lag so much, have the potential to look better and it would have taken far less time to build as well.
I like it. My recommendations for the future are that you should use fuselage blocks more. They are pretty close to infinitely customisable and can do far more than blocks while keeping the part count down. Having custom paint jobs would also draw more people in than just having the standard one.
You have to upload them to something like imgur and then do this:
![]*(direct link of the picture) but without the *.
There's no way of directly getting pictures to posts from your device.
You should probably put "not usable on low physics" to the description, because when you do use it on low physics, the backpropeller blows up if you do anything with it.

Funky. You could've made the front landing turnable, though.
It's an interesting design. The rear landing gear steers the wrong way, though.

It's ok. I like the shape of it.
Better than what I can do.

Why not post them as unlisted?

You should definitely put instructions to the description.
@BACconcordepilot It's because the lighting of the designer.
You should put the controls to the description.
