If people like replicating SpaceX rockets, why stop them? Every replica has its own unique characteristics - low part count, beautiful visuals, realistic behaviour or great vizzies - and that makes every single replica unique.
@Aryabhata21 Yes, I will rate the pictures on my own and no, I don't think I'm going to end the contest sooner - currently there still are new submissions regularly. I set 11 Jan as deadline, so people might have planned to work on their craft / planet until just before that
@Aryabhata21 You're telling everyone "I'm the best, I'll win". That's not an opinion, that's an unfounded claim, which you're permanently sharing everywhere just because you think you were the best (which is the selfish part)
@PZLAgencies Sorry, forgot to answer on your last message. As Tallisar said: Realistic being “scaled correctly (not under the game scale), has reasonable gravity, and, if around a star, has plausible parameters“. So your planet doesn‘t have to be an earth 2.0, it just shouldn‘t have the density of a neutron (like earth‘s gravity on a pluto sized moon) or be a perfectly habitable world as far away from its sun as pluto or mercury. Take Droo: it‘s average density is 14.2 times greater than uranium (if I calculated correctly), which obviously is extremely unrealistic. Your planet should have a somewhat realistic density
@GalacticAerospace1 (if you'd participate with a non-vizzy topic) @Livingg017 @PZLAgencies
Tallisar suggested to have the contest include realism (see here). What would you think about some forced realism if you could submit either a craft or a planet? Realism for crafts could be e.g. reasonable size ratios & size (like not just a Saturn V-sized generation ship), maybe some things to make obvious what it's used for (e.g. big habitat modules on a generation ship), .... For planets check the linked comment. This wouldn't mean you have to build a boring rocket replica, but you'd have to consider real life restrictions (gravity, ...).
Btw, I think I've found a topic that includes all your suggestions as well as possible.
@PZLAgencies and @Livingg017 Cool topics, I think I can find something that includes a bit of both. If we can find at least one or two more participants I think we can make it happen. Livingg017 I assume this means you'll participate if it's about building-pictures?
@Aludra877 Having a ton of exams rn, but otherwise pretty ok, thanks for asking! Hey man, I was just looking for an old post when I stumbled upon someone‘s post where you said „Guten tag“. Did you use a translator there or do you actually speak German?
It scrolls down to that comment when you use that link. E.g. if you use the link to this post (https://www.simplerockets.com/Forums/View/323167/What-does-the-permalink-option-do-for-comments) it just opens the post, but if you permalink this comment and then use that link (https://www.simplerockets.com/Forums/View/323167/What-does-the-permalink-option-do-for-comments#comment-487240) it scrolls to this comment and marks it with a blue border. You can still use the normal link to get the post itself after permalinking a comment.
What about a bit of both? When you feel like a project needs a lot of detail, make it with a higher part count. When you feel like a project still doesn't look horrible with less parts, try to use less parts. Sorry if this idea is nonsense, I don't know a lot about building.
Uploading crafts is only possible in the designer (at least in sandbox, I don't think it's different in career). The only way it might be possible is by copying the xml files (Android > Data > com.jundroo.SimpleRockets2 > files > UserData > GameStates > your career > Active > SS crafts). However, accessing those files isn't easy on most Android versions (since your craft was uploaded on Android, I assume that's what you use) and the career and crafts don't have the names you gave them in the files.
@lafario Imagine Snorf in the same class as that one bully the whole school knows... if you want Snorf to survive, teach him at home. And under absolutely no circumstances let him leave the house!
@lafario I was lucky I clicked on this notification first - I was curious what you meant by "trolling". But thanks for the laugh! Btw, do you want to test a new program? I want to test its behaviour on other devices, you can find it here. Edit: Oops, wrong link, it's here.
@lafario I'm not sure about the Drood. As it doesn't seem to have Additional settings (or Tinker panel), I can't think off a way to get its id, or add a flight program. Might be possible by having a look in the XML, but Android doesn't like that.
@lafario That's strange... As spacesailor said, maybe closing and reopening im.ge helps. The only similiar thing that happened to me was when a gif wasn't shown at all, and there it helped.
