Spacecraft Fridays (01/29/15) - The Procrastinated Edition

[Columbia]

Standard disclaimer: said:

Who are you to decide this, I hear you asking, and here's the answer: No one. I am not official in any way, shape, or form. If you're unhappy with my decision, we can work something out. This is just my opinion, since there's no objective way to judge "Quality" of crafts.

If anyone feels that their craft is missed because of any kind of time-zone difference, or any kind of difference in when spacecraft fridays is put up, tell me.

If your craft is really good and was made before, and someone posts in it within that week, then it will be considered. Just to clarify, I am not encouraging necros for the sake of bumping your craft.

 

Okay, I have to admit, there were many ships that I didn't quite test.. Sorry, guys. Also, as the title says, it was pretty procrastinated too, me just browsing the entire Spacecraft Exchange today. Also, sorry if I submitted this a little early..

This was made while watching "Battle of Britain." Not that that would have an effect, but here we go!

Although this same plane has admittedly destroyed me a lot of times in War Thunder, he really nailed the job with this one. Usually I more or less prefer custom-made cockpits instead of the default one's but I think it was just appropriate in this replica. Also, the engines blend really well with the aircraft, despite it being modded. Well done yet simple!

Yes, it's old and revived by a necro, but it doesn't mean it's any less glorious. I mean, look at it. It's not a surprise that it needs mods for something like this. I think it needs more attention, too. How long must it have taken to engineer such a beauty!

I think this replica used the Mk3 Expansion really well. I mean, those wings! Much curve! And who doesn't love commercial airliners?

Low part count, well-obstructed engines and a lot of functions.. What can I say? The video on this really demonstrates all it's functions well. Nicely done! On ships like these, simplicity yet function is key.

What a fascinating little thing! Who doesn't love flying around small Dragonfly-ish machines on Minmus? The green lights add a really nice touch to the ship too. (Also, Valentina looks like she's biting the RCS tank or something..)

And last, but by far not the least, we have..

Say all you want about things needing hack gravity and infinite fuel to function, these things are still glorious machines. Yukon0009 posted a lot about it in the Work-In-Progress Design Thread, and all his hard work seems to have paid off. Also, his ships do function quite well, with the X-Wing having functional S-foils (which in itself deserves a mention.) And have you seen his Trade Federation Battleship? That thing's 1700 parts!
 

Honestly, that was pretty tedious to do. Everyone worked hard this week with the Spacecraft Exchange bustling, and it was hard to decide between the ships! Great works linger around these forums, waiting to be seen.

Das ist alles!

Thanks for the mention Columbia!

(And congrats to the others as well.)

No problem, you deserved the top spot!

[Castille7]

Thank you for the mention Columbia!....Often a simple looking craft gets overlooked as being simple and some of these you picked are just that, they could have gotten overlooked. Congratulations to everyone who made the cut this week, after reviewing them I found your craft was an impressive one! If I had to pick a favorite in these that were picked it would be the X-wing, great job Yukon0009! Thanks again Columbia these are great picks for SCF.

I'm played just il2 sturmovik, I don't played war thunder because its arcade simulator

[Majorjim!]

Good choices matey, well done to all chosen! Some well deserved and overlooked craft! The whole point of the thing!

Thanks Columbia!

I tried to make it look like the Kerbal had a gas mask on, but it only works on females as the male's heads are too big. :/

Great choices!

Of course the one time i decide to hold off my release till Friday, its not late Friday night or even Saturday (like it has been), but (for me) Friday morning! .

I was still actually debating if the craft was really ready, so hey, you just made the choice for me, thanks

Still great job!

I love these weekly Spacecraft Exchange reviews. Wonderful idea. I don't visit SE as often as I used to with my time spent over in add-ons now, but I love the review. Helps me to catch up every week!

Great picks!  I'll update the home base.
