X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. You pilot a craft to gather stars for either the Rebel Alliance or the Galatic Empire.

XWing vs Ty Fytr

      This level highlights a levitation discovery.
      The X-Wing is a “free draggable” that floats and maintains changes of altitude.

      The Tie Fighter is the typical “free draggable” that is subject to gravity.

      As always – AMAZING!!
      First of all, it's very similar, and the build design is super cool.
      Secondly, the levitation effect in one place is very impressive! Very cool – well done!!

      Thank you SO MUCH :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

      What a great design and interesting effect. No idea how it works, but it was fun to make it reach the stars in the air, and to make the Ty Fytr touch it's nose. It felt like two space craft being out of lasers, and getting in to a physical fight. :D

      Amazing design. I haven't seen any Star Wars movies, so I had no idea why. So I created an AI image of this battle.https://ibb.co/bkJKBj2

      Beautiful piece of kinetic art! And that stable levitating effect is surprising! :cool: When collecting the stars it is good that you can maneuver the X-wing quite well. :thumbsup:

      Another excellent realistic design with the added effect of levitation. Thanks @97 NinetySeven ;) great job!

      I initially created the X-Wing a long time ago, probably more than a year.
      It would only…
      1. drop like a rock,
      2. fly away backward or
      3. drop and then fly away backward.
      I the revisited it when building “Battle of Hoth”. That’s when I accidentally found it floating (when I added the “R” bot to the rotating cockpit).
      I found adding or removing blocks (as weight or mass) in different areas would control its drift speed, slow its decent or slow its climb. I haven’t found the secret to the magic beyond using “B” on a motor to fly the structure and using another to rotate the “R” bot pilot structure into place.

      Дякую, @Denis Nazin
      Я спочатку створив X-Wing давно, мабуть, більше року тому.
      Він міг лише…
      1. падати, як камінь,
      2. відлітати назад або
      3. падати, а потім відлітати назад.
      Я повернувся до цього, коли будував «Битву за Хот». Саме тоді я випадково виявив, що він ширяє (коли додав бота «R» до обертової кабіни).
      Я виявив, що додавання або видалення блоків (як ваги чи маси) в різних областях контролювало б швидкість його дрейфу, уповільнювало б його зниження або уповільнювало б його підйом. Я не знайшов секрету магії, окрім використання «B» на двигуні для польоту конструкції та використання іншого для обертання конструкції пілота бота «R» на місце.

      Thank you @Block builder
      I also don’t know how it “truly” works (see my comment to @Denis Nazin above).
      It appears that some gravitational pull has been rotated along with the “R” bot and affects the direction of fall (or direction of down).

      Thank you @Kanchan yadav
      Your AI image is a great representation of a typical battle from the Star Wars movie series.

      Thank you @Goetz
      It’s surprising that there are still unique things to be discovered in Mekorama.
      I never thought that stationary levitation could be achieved, until… this “happy accident”.

      Thank you @delator77
      A three dimensional free draggable that stays in place when left alone. Levitation has been my unreachable dream for a long time.
