@HowDoSpaceWork Seems like 600 is the limit, I was able to remove 55% of the parts

Probably around 200-450 parts is where I can run crafts best.

@HowDoSpaceWork I’ll look into that, I’ll see if I can reduce the part count, what would be the highest playable part count for you?

Could you make a mobile friendly version of this? I love the crafts that you make but I'm on a low end device and can't load them.

Your next creation has to be the dragons from Avatar.

@Planetloversaredope there was definitely no inspiration lol

This looks like the dragonfly from avatar

@RichGWall thanks!

Great work !

@Mostly thanks!

Beautiful

@Wills123 No problem, and thanks once again, I'd really appreciate that. I want to make some things that need detailed custom cockpits, but I don't know how to even start(especially since the days of just slapping a seat and some gauges inside a partially transparent cargo bay are long gone). Sometimes I feel like I bite off more than I can chew with my projects, but even when I do the simplest possible thing, it turns out to be anything but(however, I do like the challenge). Any help or advice you can give would make things so much easier for me as well as many others out there who struggle with the same issues. I need to start focusing on my own YT channel and bring it back from the dead now that the game's in a more finalized state and more playable than ever. In the meantime, I'll just have to enjoy what creators like you have to offer which is above and beyond what I'd expect. I'm also glad that you're doing tutorials on stuff that doesn't have many(if any) tutorials already out there, so you got my support

PS, I also noticed that one of your pics got chosen for the new loading screens and it's a fitting legacy(everyone will now know the name "Wills123"!)

@YaMomzBox420 thanks! Im actually working on a cockpit tutorial vid, I’ll incorporate some time saving tips for dealing with those types of issues.

I seriously wish I had the time and patience to make such beautiful functional cockpits for crafts(or just detailed realistic crafts on general). I try, but I just can't find the time when I also have the motivation to work on something for very long. The hardest part for me is being restricted to mostly mobile with a counterintuitive designer, especially since I grew up with CAD-CAM software and 3d modelling programs like Blender. It irks me beyond reason when I go to attach a part somewhere and it just won't go the way I want it to without spending 5 minutes going back and forth between different menus and tools. Which isn't so bad on PC(especially with hotkeys), but it sucks on a tiny screen with the control system given(although it's still pretty good for designer not based off CAD-CAM or a traditional 3d modelling program.

Anyway, keep doing what you do and making these beautiful crafts! Thanks!

@Spenzerointernational low key the hardest thing to do on this entire craft was the paint lol

the final livery
