Do you ever feel bad for the ship builders?

You know the ones, the people that make a ship with 2000 parts and it only gets 22 upvotes. It doesn't seem to stop them from churning out impressive looking ships on a regular basis but it does seem a bit... wrong, doesn't it?

    @F104Deathtrap Definitely, but not all good airships are, in fact, noticed.

    @SonicManiaOVA If someone builds a good airship, people take notice.

    of course, but don't get me started on airship builders, most of which have no more recognition than a tag on the site.

    @F104Deathtrap What do you think of this whole drama anyway?

    @KnightOfRen People make mistakes, or so I've heard. I make mistakes, and I try my best to pass myself off as a human right now whilst I live among them. I'm getting off topic here. It's best we just move on from the whole G-C thing and not mention it.

    I know it is a game site but it is a sad thing when someone's shabby build gets more attention than another person's realistic build

    @F104Deathtrap yeah I agree, I’m fine with them as long as they don’t get in the way of other posts.

    @Omel I just mean they exist, that's all

    @qwerty132 The joke builds are fine. I don't like that they take up precious slots on the front page, but otherwise a good laugh can be just as important as the player guided cruise missile system that I spent weeks developing and testing for my latest aircraft.

    @CookieCrumz It may seem like that sometimes, but it's not the case. Newer players have always felt this way and the recipe for success has always been to make visually impressive preview pictures that can land your creation on the front page. Each week somebody manages to do that with their second or third build. The mods are more than eager to feature a new player with an impressive design.

    @Omel If you look through the posts of any platinum shipbuilder, you're certainly going to find a variety of cargo ships tankers.

    I don’t just feel sorry for them, I feel sorry for anyone who spends lots of time and effort on something and yet they don’t get nearly as many upvotes as those horrible joke builds.

    @ThePilotDude I have a feeling that with the right features, some of our more talented builders could make some pretty fun ships (military or civilian) but I also see where you're coming from.

    Here’s why this happens, and I use myself as an example. This is an airplane game and the checks people who are interested in airplanes. I am not temotely interested in ships, so I don’t upvote them

    It does, ships are by far the most detailed and hard to create builds yet a crappy joke with 6 parts can get 100+ upvotes
