Wow. It looks like I am late to the party! To be honest, I do not understand why some users worry so much about the feature function. It has no affect on how many points that user will get in the long run. I have only been featured once, and the feature was a pity feature, given to platinums that had never been featured.
[Edit]: I won't lie - I nearly forgot that the feature function existed, until I saw whatever drama this is.
I think the annoyance in this comments section arises from the apparent lack of effort here. This post would have been fun if more effort was put into it. Perhaps an SP logo on the egg? Or even more parts to make the egg look more... egglike? Of course I'm not the type to joke around on the site too much, but when I do, I put some effort into it.
In non-commercial projects, it should be fine to use simpleplanes models. Of course, if you are using another user's models, be sure to ask for their permission! I should add, though, that while many of the builds here are beautiful, the 3D object file is... messy. The file, due to how it was modeled, is massive for its detail. If you want, I can send you an image that demonstrates this.
@Chancey21 I used PowerPoint to format the images, shapes, and text. From there, I took a delayed screenshot of the slide in slide show mode, so the resolution was perfect for my screen size.
Why not a modded VTOL engine with the nozzles on the rotor blades? Might be a little easier to use, and there are plenty of modded VTOL engines on the site, so it might be easier to manage how much power you need. Edit: Nevermind. Just saw the bolded text.
@Vapegun The modified bomb can be extracted from this plane. However, if you specifically want to see the PROJECT: Heavy Vortex weapon in action, you can check out the Genesis Battleship. I should say though, that it is an old build! While it is certainly great build, it also doesn't meet my current performance and quality standards.
@AWESOMENESS360 Thank you! This build packs about two months of thought into a package that took two weeks to construct. Needless to say, it is one of my favorite designs. As for the IMPULSE missiles, they are guardian missiles, so if you keep your sights on the target, the lock (if instant) will be re-established before the enemy shoots off their next round of flares.
@randomusername @ThomasRoderick Thanks! Those guns are only meant to shield the aircraft from missiles, so i kept the range short. The HevGun, on the other hand, has an increased lifetime for better range.
@Z3RO Download a preferred software for making .obj files. Many use blender or maya. Some people use sketchup or Fusion 360. Maya and Fusion can be used under an educational license - provided that you are purely a hobbyist.
Looks good. You used some pretty nice techniques on this. Excellent for your first upload! I have two criticisms: yaw should be added for normal flight (AGRAV fighters have incredible yaw capabilities), and maybe some other missile based weapons (with more traditional function) could be added. All-in-all, this build is superb, especially in this context.
@Jerba I scaled a bunch of curved parts (namely VTOL thrusters) to create the body of the aircraft. No fuselage blocks used! I used VTOL RCNs to make the circular decorations, and I used some structural panels for detailing too.
Try to talk to her, but also respect her space. Sometimes people get distant periodically - though you probably know the most about the situation, since you have all the context. Either way, just be friendly and don't sweat it (easier said than done, I know).
@PvPSky Sunburn will definitely be on this list. I haven't had time to update it quite yet though! I update these lists whenever I have too many individual builds on my front page.
@PvPSky Thank you! I try to make weapons that complement the build itself. I should add though - you should probably edit your comment. I cuss all the time, but in SP I keep it clean. The mods don't like profanity, because kids do use this site.
I personally like the desert camo. I think the colors go well with the shape.

+1Beautiful shape. Beautiful part efficiency.
+1@11qazxc Thanks! I'll research tank sizes next time.

+1@FastDan Thanks! I try to improve my graphical skills with every post. I am certain that I have improved!
+1@TheChosenOne It certainly can be done on iOS. Feel free to dissect some of my AGRAV designs, and take parts as needed!
+1@PvPSky Thanks! I try my best on each one, so I am glad that you like this build, as well as the rest of my profile.

+1If this wasn't from r/copypasta, I would have been disappointed.
+1Nice build- looks like you put a lot of effort into it! This heli definitely deserves more than 6 upvotes.
+1Forgot to bookmark the XML guide. Thanks for the reminder!
+1As usual, wonderful design and description. The equipment chart stood out to me - a good way to convey a ton of information in one image!

+1Good design! I think the name, "Orca", would sound a little better.
+1No problem! I make those subs so other can use them - I get excited when I see a build that uses some of my parts.

+1Sure, my first upload was a little rough around the edges, but it's much better than unoriginal garbage! I'm still proud of the little jet.
+1I like the powerful look! I do think the canopy looks a bit odd, but otherwise it's a great build.
+1The engines are awesome!
+1And then there's my name
+1@PvPSky Thanks! I have been playing SP for a while, so I have plenty of practice. You'll get there eventually!
+1Very weird, but I like it!
+1The time is easily explainable - it's a small dev team, so a large project (like SR2) takes a lot of time to complete.
+1Let's not escalate that one forum post more than necessary.
+1@FastDan I guess that's a good persona to have. It's funny, because I'm the opposite IRL, in casual talk.
+1@FastDan I guess so. Thanks!
+1Superb for any post - but for a first post? Stunning.
Good job on this one!
+1Interesting way of making the cockpit! I would suggest having it blend with the body a little more. Try to eliminate rough edges.
+1"function" has some fun uses!
+1I knew I recognized this from somewhere! Maybe I should try playing warfarm again some time.
+1Hm. Just looks interesting in the pictures I guess.
+1Interesting looking engine!
+1Yes! I've been waiting for an enterprise that is this good.
+1Empty followers accumulate over time. I guess it's part of being on the site for a while.

+1@DEDSEC14 I don't do replicas, but I might make something inspired by it!
+1@Awesomegamer9786 The gun imparts a force on whatever it shoots!
+1Oooh. This looks perfect for someone like me. If I have the time, I will participate!
+1Looks great! Well-thought out. I like the image too.
