What better way to inspire you to really up your game than to come upon a masterpiece which represents almost all you find the most ideal
That in mind, seeing what this build has done I plan to go for two things in particular. Inspired heavily by aforementioned build.
1: Simulated Ballast control: Using finely tuned VTOL engines I plan to implement the one function my Submarines have lacked. Ballast control! The ultimate goal will be to create a system which allows stationary depth control while keeping the submarine in the water. (i.e. not letting it fly).
2: Better visuals in future builds. I'm thinking of restricting myself less on part count knowing large builds generally don't do well on mobile anyway. I won't go for the Uber 1K part monster builds that crazy (highly skilled) people make. But I'm thinking of opening builds up to being 200-300 maybe 400 parts in favor of better visuals along with possible extra features.
Extra News: Assuming it would be the most difficult I decided to try to get the Scinfaxi sub started. Unfortunately due to it leading to unending loading of the level along with making the builder's UI stop functioning (not letting me save or exit specifically) I may end up cancelling that one.
BUT I do have a fully constructed non functional model of it uploaded as unlisted. I did that before the beta as a means of backup along with a few more models. If I do cancel the Scinfaxi I will release a link to the unlisted upload for anyone who might like to use it. I think it's got a decent visual model within its low part count, but if you have a laptop (even a good one) just keep in mind why I cancelled it. But if you can handle it, go crazy!
As a clarification as to why I hold back from making high part builds,
1: I may not have a mobile device, and the laptop I have now may be a good one, but it is not the kind of computer that can handle uberbuilds (like almost every battleship replica made in this game) without turning the game into SimpleSlideShow.
2: I like to make my builds accessible and generally low lag, to where people don't need high end PC's to enjoy them. Even if I would acquire such a high end PC, I would prefer to have my creations not come with system requirements XD
I will say that I have nothing against the Uberbuilders, their replicas obviously have a high part count due to the meticulous details that their skillful (crazy) builders put into them. It's wonderful to see how high the upvotes and downloads are for them because it's exactly what the builders behind them deserve.
That'll do it for this very talkative update. If anyone wants to offer any input, advice, or request any sub replicas feel free to in the comments. The next sub that comes should be the Churchill. Unless someone requests a replica.
