    Personal repositories aren’t production code. They’re learning opportunities. You tried adding 100 engines to a plane and learned that that was a bad idea. Who cares if there’s no cockpit if you were test-driving the wings?

    Those look pretty tame compared to some aircraft that actually took flight IRL - like Nemeth Parasol, Vought V-173, VVA-14, Coleopters, Flettner airplanes, and many, many more. Actually, they’d fit well as a following with “the projects they hire you to work on”.

    I love the pic of all engines the most. :)

    Would probably use all fuel in 10 minutes, and be way too heavy to even take off.

      This is just off the top of my head from a bit of experience in KSP, but depending on the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engines, it would probably be able to take off, but you’re right, it wouldn’t win any fuel economy awards.

      Actually I doubt any material could stand that kind of wing loading, and the aerodynamics would probably be all kinds of fucked. Pretty apt analogy for a beginner developer.

      maybe the engines would take off by themselves

    Look at my GitHub which is just a million forks of dead projects

    How you see your projects trying to accept that you might need to compromise.
