@Razr I'm not very active currently, so I won't join, sorry
The challenge is to make a boat using a pre-made helicopter engine @JovianPat
I can't make helicopters :P
@Razr yeah, my basically. It would need some minor adjustments, but it would be much better than the current system.
It would be cool if the devs let us use the tournament template (the way they set up tournament) to the community @EternalDarkness
@Razr I could try. Hydrofoils are really difficult to balance, and they only work as hydrofoils at certain range of speeds.
@Razr I understand that. Some of these challenges are without bad intent, but I'm still uncomfortable with them. In my opinion, devs should make a special challenge post, different from build post in terms of successor points. But I really don't understand what are we supposed to build. A combination of boat and a helicopter? Or a VTOL powered boat?
@EternalDarkness Could you convert one of my latest boats into a hydrofoil (I'm not great at creating/using others people system)
I'm sorry, and it was idea I had for a while. The rule of it has to be a successor, is used for easy tracking @EternalDarkness
@Razr a boat powered a helicopter engine? Also, I don't participate in successor challenges as a rule, as I consider them whoring for points. My builds get, on average, 40 upvotes. My build being a successor to your post would thus bring you, on average, 280 points. That's 280 points you didn't aquire by building good stuff.
I am kinda flattered that you remembered me and invited me here, but I will not participate.
