Air Base Security

Description
The Air Base Security is way too strict, they are even shooting at their own blimps! Get the blimp into the hanger bay(grey area on the right) without damaging it. Then close the wooden "door" to complete the docking proceedure.

Ah, geez, it's my first puzzle, of course it would have more holes then a swiss cheese. :p

Thanks for pointing those out brickey.8. I'm not sure if I'll ever have time to fix them. (I might be better off just spending that time doing a second puzzle with how often I get time for contraption maker).

I was kind of trying to go for a bit of a free "multi soluion" puzzle, as I do like puzzles where some shortcuts exist. I do have to admit using the scissors and bowling ball like that is a bit too cheap, and the normal outlet...yeah, I must not have been very awake when I decided to add that to the unlocked parts, lol! Those were not quite the "alternate solutions" I had in mind when making the puzzle.

Thanks for the heavy dose of feedback. I'll probably be making more puzzles someday...when time and energy allow. I'll try to remember to be a lot less open about uses for parts I give the player. :)

I like the intended solution and the fakeout you did with the bowling wall and the inclined plane, but there's a LOT of ways to break this puzzle. To start, you put the laser inverter too far from the plug so an object can be placed in its way for a near-instant win. The decoy parts, scissors and a bowling ball, can be used to prevent one of the missiles going off. You can just put a nonmoving object in both of the missiles' paths and/or the raygun's path. And the hot air balloon and solar panel can be replaced by the normal outlet if you don't use it for the fan (which you can skip).

I wonder if this level would benefit by putting a lot of filler objects (like baloons or rope hooks) in the spots where you don't want the user putting objects, leaving just enough room for danger to go through.
