PEA or Part Efficient Aircraft are on the rise (I guess). The first time, that I saw the term "PEA" was used by Chi aka @Monarchii. PEA planes are not limited in the number of part counts and number of wings to qualify as an AI plane like @MAPA did. On the other hand, PEA can be a bit flexible to build while keeping more details and mobile-friendly.
So Let me know, do you love, hate, or are neutral toward PEA?
I love PAE planes, it's always nice to see ppl using there minds and think out of the box by using parts efficiently, people like MAPA always inspired me to build better with lower parts
But in other hand, some ppl use this term to cover on their "non-accurate" (the least to say) builds
And also, MAPA or two are enough for the whole site, I'd prefer to be special in my way than copying others
in my honesty, it was a community project plagued with a lot of problems, mainly stemming from the lack of skill, for now, i want to clean the slate, i regret the massive traffic and dump that basically followed PEA, but I am proud to those who follow and make one that is very well-built, honestly there's a lot of tricks to part-saving, simple ones yes, but it can vary from 100% efficiency(like struts, by using sliced hollow fuselage) up to i dare say 500% efficiency(I can't explain it well but basically, you know that divot or curve inside of the top wings of biplanes? I can make that with one part and it'll still be relatively smooth looking, if not, then atleast good enough from 100m away)
@PhantomBoltSP i see
Neutral, Why? Because i ended up getting few and more upvotes
@dabestsock a bit late, but i'm flattered lmfao
@MrCOPTY true
@Monarchii I love it
@WinsWings huh, wa uw
@Monarchii Well, I do painting too. Impressionist paintings are not realistic like classical paintings, but they give the mood of what the artist is trying to express - beautifully. Like your PEA or MAPA's staff. I feel them like an impressionist painting. For those with 3000 parts, are very detailed "classical paintings"
@WinsWings i don't know many art jargons, but you go mate, correct :3
@Monarchii Totally agreed! Less part count doesn't mean a crap always. it is like comparing an impressionist painting to a traditional classical painting. It has a different taste.
I’m neutral, check out my acc and @Mal0ne to see what I mean.
i am neutral
@FlirBlitz
Do it. (Not the bombing part, the posting part.)
Also, T!
@FlirBlitz lol
@TheMouse now i wanna go on a new account and try this lmao
if it gets 100 upvotes i will be bombing the state of California
i think they are neat
@FlirBlitz
Really should have called it a PEA. Definitely would have made front page lol.
@TheMouse this is the aircraft
@FlirBlitz
Lol. Did you call it a PEA? If not, you should have, and you probably could have tripled its upvotes. What was that account, anyway?
its so over-used its becoming genuinely stupid ._.
it was funny the first time, but cmon man please
Theres also the "First Planes"
Some are true, while others look fake as hell and do not look like theyre a new player
I ran a test recently, i literally put 29 parts together, went on a different account, and posted it.
As of now, it has more upvotes than all but like 3 of my posts
EDIT: I was right, it has more upvotes than all but 3 of my posts.
One isnt even a plane, its a challenge
@WinsWings Hmm that is true
@TheUltimatePlaneLover Sometimes, I see thousands of "unthoughtful parts" added to a build, which never adds any quality to it. In return, someone who can not build anything good could misuse the work PEA over and over as well
@Kenzar
First point, fair, I agree that overuse/misuse of anything can be dislikable
As for the second point, also fair, but put into perspective; a 96 part plane at max that could take hours to make in order to replicate a specific aircraft (all PEAs MUST be replicas, fictional aircraft that use the tag whilst still abiding to the rules are actually are actually LPAs) versus a 120 part plane that one could make in significantly less time. For precise examples this took about 3 hours to make, and this took only one hour minus the break I took to eat and sleep, since I started building it in the evening before dinner. On the other hand, this took about six hours, again minus breaks, and this took about two days, if you ask me it's not really the PEAs's faults for their low production time, my guess honestly is just that I'm a quick worker lol.
