@Baldeagle086 hey thanks for the spotlight! Here's a few things i have learned:
1. Standardize your gun systems. This creates unity with your designs and saves time. I've used the same 127mm turret for a year now (classic!).
2. Creating a modular, reusable hull, or downloading a pre made one saves a lot of time
3. There are different methods for propulsion, but a combo of stationary jet engines, and gyroscopes for turning, has worked for me.
4. Try to be logical with placement of details. Can a helicopter fit inside if i place the hangar door here? Try to visualize the inside of your ship to make the outside more believable.
Hope this helps :)
@ZYHUnited Absolutely, but this one is outdated and buggy. I would be happy to make an updated one that is the same size as this one instead, if you would like.
@Communistairline @JackTheBestBoss @Wahoo12 @Colonel1J2R3Wolf @jamesPLANESii @aguy @FETUKH @Dllama4 @SangerAircraft thanks for the final push into golden territory! I better hurry up on my destroyer for a gold celebration ship
@Flameslinger this one uses a cockpit (it's hidden in the mast) that's on rotators. it can move left/right and up/down to target planes and ships
@Ajforever51 haha i believe you. it's amazing how similar they are, but yeah i see tiny differences.
Nice ship, but could you credit the hull design? Love the design though
This is one of my favorite jets on this site and it looks amazing!
@MI Not all F-16s have the false cockpits, and personally I think they look better without them.
this is amazing how long did it take to make?
good job
only if your creation doesn't become a successor on the website @breitling
this ship is top class
haha nice! It's perfectly 500 parts

@Hawkeye156 there is an even distribution of the guns front and back, and the superstructure is in a good location
@Hawkeye156 the design has a nice balance to it
well this is the best destroyer with 500mm guns i have ever seen. well done
destroyer? looks like a battleship to me
wish i had seen this before i'd published my destroyer
looks great
Cool beans
What sorcery is this?!?!
Nice
Does anyone have ideas on improving the torpedo launchers?
@StogiepatrickMC thanks for the upvote! I think eternal darkness invented the flare gun
love it!
any update on the contest?
hey you made gold! congrats!
Just remember that the center of mass has to be in front of the center of lift
@Z0NE i started in the air
This is awesome
@ZYHUnited Ok, I am eager to see it
@Wahoo12 They are all in the back. The ship is specialized in anti ship/ground
Very nice
@ZYHUnited Absolutely, but this one is outdated and buggy. I would be happy to make an updated one that is the same size as this one instead, if you would like.
@Datom Thanks! The American 5in twin turrets are favorite turrets of all time, so i wanted to make a stealth turret inspired by them
@Wahoo12
My entry is posted
Congrats on the feature!

@Wahoo12 ..............yikes. Also I recently found out that number is the length of an iowa class 16in/50. Double yikes
@Dllama4 well i hope this mysterious person has success with them
@aguy
@GermanWarMachine No one told me this before! My whole life has been a lie!
can I upload a ship that I have already made? I have updated and strengthened the weapons system on it and has around 700 parts @Wahoo12
This looks great!
@aguy hi, i am currently working on it, would something the size of this work? https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1mIYfX/Steadfast-class-Missile-Boat
Very nice looking
@TheFlyingDerp yep. You can put the cockpit on rotators for 360 coverage too
@TheFlyingDerp example: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/D0TimH/Resolute-class-Attack-Frigate
@TheFlyingDerp you stick them on the deck of a simpleplanes ship, then use your cockpit as radar to fire them
@aguy do you think a scaled down version of this one would work? or should i make a new design?
@aguy ask away
