hi people
today I have a question for the "old-timers" of simpleplane (I know, the game is still alive but it seems obvious that it will gradually die).
I've noticed that a lot of the hyper-detailed simpleplane crafts have like 3 times less pieces than the simplerockets ones. Where is this coming from? Are there building thricks that have been lost or removed?
@YaMomzBox420 i terms of complexity, both games are complex. I think simple crafts have about the same part count in both games.
@HorizonsTechnologies I think they mean that eventually it'll fall to the wayside as newer, better looking games come out and take over. Think about some of the biggest franchises out there right now. Chances are, most of the first few installments in each have nearly non-existent player bases, and no support or dedicated servers or anything at this point, despite having been at the top of the charts earlier on. Even somewhat recent games have had all support and stuff removed because the community moves on to the next big thing. Granted now, SP probably won't go away anytime soon, but eventually a game like SR2(or possibly an SP2) will attract what's left of the community around SP. Also, once continued development on a game ends, its usually only a matter of time before people move on to something that's still being worked on
Who said SP was dying? Their community is much larger than ours.
I think DrexxVolv is right(although I have no experience with SP). It also doesn't help that in SR2 it takes 3-6 wing parts to make a single fully functional wing(you can use a single wing part, but it doesn't work as well). Also, I think this game asks for more, so the players give it more(in terms of complexity)
There are lots of parts in SP that make building planes easier. Plus, the part count would destroy people. The game is horrifically inoptimized.
@YaMomzBox420 I mean I thought we were talking about just SR2 and SP.
