@Spectre2520 No brand, I buy the components and assemble the build myself. If you want to have a conversation, have it on one of my posts or yours, instead of someone else's.
@Spectre2520 I'd always recommend getting the PC version, as you probably know. My PC is getting a bit old now (i7 4770K, GTX 1080, 16GB), but can handle SP with no problems.
@Stingray Humble, me? Humility is the worst form of conceit, as the man said, and is also hypocritical, as another man said. Humility is actually forbidden at SledDriver Industries, and counts as a demerit in employee reviews ("Does not uphold the company culture..."). F-bombs are fine, but H-bombs will get you fired ("Promotes deceitful behaviour.").
The main cannon is limited to one shot every two seconds, to make it more challenging to use and differentiate it from the turret guns. Considering the extreme stability in flight of this build, it should be easy to line up on a ship from the limit of visual range, then fire the cannon once you get within range (about 2 miles). Make sure you have high agility mode (AG2) disabled, or control adjustments will not be precise enough. I initially mounted a spread-fire (shotgun-style) plasma cannon on this thing, but removed it to save part count. I may make a mobile-friendli(er) version at some point, with more weapons. Stay tuned.
Nice work, but you're hurting your build's visibility by having it nearly the same colour as the circular pedestal. You can get a designer mod to remove the pedestal and change the background. Also, experiment with different angles for the screenshot, usually a three-quarters view is better than a straight-on one.
@Stingray Well, if you've got it, flaunt it, that's what I say.... Look forward to your feedback. Make sure to test the main cannon on the ships, you might be surprised.
@Texasfam04 Thanks, Tex. I'm actually quite surprised at how well it turned out. If your machine can run this, try shooting at ships with the main cannon. Makes for a nice game of pool :)
@CenturiVonKikie Thanks. As a matter of fact, I designed this as a hypersonic vehicle, with the black leading edge and underside meant to be a heat shield.
@Spectre2520 Maybe because you usually comment on my builds around the time I post them, so I tend to be online around that time. Speaking of which, I'm signing off now.
@Spectre2520 I used to post one build every 24 hours for about the entire first year I was on SP. Then I realised some people were getting triggered by seeing up to 5 of my builds on the front page at the same time, so I dialed it down. Which, looking back, was a mistake.

Thanks @Stingray, good to know.
Thanks, @Spectre2520 @CRJ900Pilot @DemonSniper8
@Stingray This one is under 800 parts, and has a high-vis crosshair.
@GhostHTX For some values of mobile, at least.
+1Good to know, @GhostHTX
@Ephwurd Beacon lights arranged in an arc to form a curved "light bar," and narrow fuselage blocks in a similar arc to form the grill.
@Spectre2520 Yeah, that's what comes of a childhood spent tinkering with things.
Here are some videos:

+1@Spectre2520 No, that's a designer background mod. The shader doesn't affect the designer screenshots, unfortunately.

+1@BaconRoll I prefer the black version as well, and was torn between which one to upload for a long time. Maybe I'll upload the black one later...?
Thanks, @CRJ900Pilot.
@Mumpsy Oh yes I did :) Thanks.
@LancasterAce It doesn't just blow them up, it pushes them around as well...
@Texasfam04 Thanks, Tex. I'm actually quite surprised at how well it turned out. If your machine can run this, try shooting at ships with the main cannon. Makes for a nice game of pool :)
Thanks, @Stargazzer. It's not exactly a mod but similar, I write scripts (programs) to create subassemblies using geometric formulae.
+1Thanks, @CptJacobson. Star Wars isn't really my thing, so another build may or may not happen.
Thanks, @Spectre2520. No, this is not the "sled," I haven't even thought about it yet.
@Latios22 I already did...

@Stingray Yeah, the velocity of the aircraft is added to the bullet velocity. Try shooting when flying sideways and it'll become clear.
FYI, there are upgraded versions of the plasma shotguns available here. They have a wider spread with more "pellets," and they're quiet as well.
@CRJ900Pilot Brace yourself, a Millennium Falcon is coming.
@Spectre2520 There's an idea. Will an SR-71 sled do?
@Spectre2520 Maybe.
@CenturiVonKikie Thanks. As a matter of fact, I designed this as a hypersonic vehicle, with the black leading edge and underside meant to be a heat shield.
+1Thanks for saying that, @Strikefighter04.
+1@CRJ900Pilot Hmm, the whole Star Wars aesthetic isn't really my thing, but I'll think about it.
@asteroidbook345 It has no landing gear, so no heels...
Glad you like it, @Sirnubenegra
@ChickenMcNuggets007 You're about eight months late. And as a matter of fact, this one was inspired not by Star Wars, but by the build just before it.
Happy birthday, @EternalDarkness. It's cool how this thing can turn in place. Also quite good at climbing hills.
@Spectre2520 Maybe because you usually comment on my builds around the time I post them, so I tend to be online around that time. Speaking of which, I'm signing off now.
@Spectre2520 Do I always reply immediately? I just happen to be online right now.
@Spectre2520 Maybe. I don't build on a schedule, but whenever I feel like it.
@Spectre2520 That's called following a mistake with another, but to each his own.
@AWESOMENESS360 Yeah, except it's way more badass.
@Phantom1 Look here for really low part count builds.
@Phantom1 No lower. No more.
@Spectre2520 I used to post one build every 24 hours for about the entire first year I was on SP. Then I realised some people were getting triggered by seeing up to 5 of my builds on the front page at the same time, so I dialed it down. Which, looking back, was a mistake.
+1@Spectre2520 Interesting design, and very stable in flight. Do you only build on iOS?
@RailfanEthan Wasn't aware of that one, good to know.
@RailfanEthan What's an M10?
@ChickenMcNuggets007 All Blackbird pilots were called Sled drivers. I chose the name because it's my favourite aircraft.
