If you have questions, don't be lazy and ask me them, I may or may not be able to answer them.

Details:

  • The goal of this challenge is to make a plane/jet/train/boat/car/tank/etc. to impress the Nexus Industries.
    In order to do so, you need to make a very unorthodox creation.
  • 10 point grade scale.
  • I cannot promise any amount of upvotes since I am one person. But I can give you some criticism.
  • Deadline October 29th 2020
  • This is my first challenge, so go easy on me if I make any mistakes.

Rules:

  • Must be a successor or leave a link to it in the comments.
  • No mods, except the track mod.
  • XML is allowed.
  • If the creation used funky trees, then I'll need to get someone else to test it, because I still don't have the update.
  • Must function, the better performance, the higher the rating.
  • Has to have at least one unique function (like very unorthodox landing gear.)
  • Higher the details, the better.
  • Max of 5,000 parts.
  • If you want to rate some of the creations, talk with me first.
  • HAS TO BE UNORTHODOX OR NEXUS INDUSTRIES (me) WILL IGNORE IT!!!
  • You get a bonus if you stick with the Nexus Default colors.

Ratings:

  • Details:
    How much thought and detail was put into it?
  • Performance:
    Does it fly like a drunk pigeon, or a majestic flamingo?

    Challenge Stats:
    Potion: 2nd
    Detail: 2/10 (Not that much detail)
    Performance: 5/10 (A bit tricky and not to refined, but for a watercraft, a fine mechanism)
    Unorthodox design: 10/10 (This is a good enough design that I may make a remake, just to learn new skills and building techniques.)
    Unique Functions: 2/10 (The propelling system is about the only unique thing.)
    Points total for rating: 19/40
    Point Bonus: 10
    Total: 29/40
    Note: I hope you do not take offense from my criticism, I'm just use to being judged rough, so if I offend you, my apologies, I didn't do it on purpose.

    @CreeperOfTheFortress I’m sure KnightsOfRen would be fine with it. :) I’ll cover for the rest, and the schedule thing is fine. If it’s alright with you, we’d like the public to be aware of our partnership. Happy building.

    @MajorSix Well well well, if the owner is okay with it, tell them that they now have Nexus Industries backing them up.
    Also, just give me the details with the build and if I should start, and what part of the build I need to do, the more details, the better.
    Now I would like to warn you that my schedule is unpredictable (trust me, I tried,) so I may go inactive at random periods of time, just keep that in mind as we collaborate. Also, do you want our alliance ship to be secret, or are you okay if I announce our new partnership?

    @CreeperOfTheFortress Hey, I also wanna ask you a serious question now. I represent Major Industries (I founded it but do not own it. don't ask why.its a long story). I wanted to ask if you would like to create a partnership being Major and Nexus? Maybe my entry can be our first co-op plane?

    @MajorSix that is great to hear, just to clarify, do not use any funky trees or anything from the recent update because I cannot use aircraft like that at the moment since I do not have the update.

    @Numbers I wish I had the update, and how to access funky trees, but I don't.

    @Numbers Once I learned how they did it, I can now use XML modding myself, I am no professional, but I know some of the basic.
