yasss thank you so much im very exited

yoooos

Well now I have to use this for the real life sport most like podracing. Motorcycle chariot racing.

will there be an option to swap between the current textures and the new ones?

Yup, all "New and Improved" is nice and all, but I think they kinda look… I don't know… Flat?

The old Textures gave the parts Character and a Story to tell
The new look like… something your dad don't want you to touch, because you could scratch it.

Maybe make it an option to switch between a clean and a weathered texturing?

Poodoo, time to start experimenting with power couplers

This has got to be my favorite builder. UGH, so good!

okay?

i understand why people may not like the new designs of objects but i personally prefer them over the previous ones. In addition, the optimisation will be noticed more than the design changes because most engines are built inside your creations.

I understood that reference

you bet it's not going to be just podracers i am making with the power coupling

AHH, this is sooo awesome! we can now actually create good pod racers! and use the power coupling blocks as ropes too!

The power coupling is pretty neat, but the new block designs are worse tahn before I feel like. Saving memory is worth it tho, especially if that would mean we get a new complexity limit.

I really hope so, the ''improved'' ones do look quite bad in my opinion.
I guess they might be better for a brand-new looking vehicle but the old ones resemble the Trailmakers style better, the scratches and scuffs give that sense of realism that the ''improved'' ones don't have.
Also they do look cheap and very memory-saving which is i think a wierd move.

Very happy to see block textures getting updated to make skins more cohesive across the board, here's hoping all of the other skins get an eventual update pass as well. Also quite excited for the power couplings, it's gonna look great on all of the updated podracer builds and I'm very curious to see what other potential it has as a general rope-like connection mechanism
