About It

This is a drone challenge. It's all about anything that you will make is a REAL DRONE, But... it's not what you think. There are some drones like these:

This is a drone.
And that one too.
Wait... is that a DRONE!?
HOW!?

Bonus:

Does It count?


The Rules:

We have rules to make people pay some attention. You have to read them, please.

If your drone does not meet the rules,
it will be disqualified.

1. You must keep the cockpit. (don't change the cockpit)
  • Because you need to keep the cockpit, so no camera will be on the cockpit, and don't change the cockpit.
2. Rule Removed
3. ALL POSTS must be a successor.
  • Because after you download it, you have to make a drone.
4. It must be a drone. (Replica/Fictional)
  • You have to make a drone. (such as toy drone, military drone, murder drone, and bee drone)
5. Minimum part count: 13
  • Why 13? Because of the game's AI Drone's part count. (Under 13-part count drones will be disqualified.)
6. Maximum performance cost: 2000
  • Why 2000? Because the lower the performance cost, the better will be lag-free. (Over 2000 performance cost drones will be disqualified.)
7. Your drone has to fly nicely.
  • Because of the realism.
8. 3 Entries per person. (only the best one will count)
  • Why 3 entries? Because... no more than 3 public airplane submissions per day.
9. XML modding is encouraged, but no modding, please.
  • We don't want to see something that is a part mod.
10. No NSFW posts.
  • You're not allowed to post anything that is NSFW.
[BONUS RULE #1:] You can make ground drones.
  • Why ground drones? Because ground drones are called UGVs and only found on land.
[BONUS RULE #2:] You can make boat drones.
  • Why boat drones? Because boat drones are called USVs and only found over the water.

    I saw this challenge lately only when you mentioned it. The best thing I could do is to spotlight for you

    @001 Thank you for doing so. It is appreciated not just by me, but by all the other bronzes who have great experience in SP.

    @001 I agree with @MrSilverWolf on this stupid rule, because I'm no noob, and have experience with building complex aircraft, and I'm sure that there are others like me who have a low bronze rank but have played for years, and thinking that all low bronze rank people are noobs is quite stereotypical. At least give a question that tells you if they are truly noobs, rank says NOTHING about skill and how long someone played SP for. At least give a question that tells you if they are truly noobs, this solution avoids stereotyping efficiently.

    @001 So, I'm considered a noob because of my rank on the website? A judgment factor that doesn't truly count here? A stereotype?

    @001 Hi, I know that I am no silver rank and only have around 200 points, but have been in the SP community for a few years now, but I recently made a drone that fits your rules, and I would like to post it for the challenge. I would say that I've been coding TVC and fly by wire for planes for a good two years at least, and If you don't believe me, then here is an example of basic fly by wire in funky trees: "clamp(Pitch - PitchRate/100 ,-1,1)", I also know missile bay code, and from my posts from a couple of years ago to now, I'd say that I have learned and developed more than I did a few years ago.
