It's like if you turned Quake rocket deathmatch into a flight sim. And the whole design thing isn't even about building. If you put two seconds of effort into designing a terrain map it might turn out decent. But you just repurpose a map designed to slide down into a gigantic deathmatch map.

There isn't anything wrong with repurposing it if the use is for a dogfight. it provides satisfactory environment and gives pilots cover. you couldn't hit anyone because of the poor design of the planes and weapons. that's a valid point, but not against interiors and terrain. lalam and many others could very easily hit people using non-raycasting projectiles provided. i could do it just fine too.
maybe you should rephrase "except that they always sucked as aerial combat games " to "except that i always sucked at aerial combat games".

this is honestly really sad. i don't even frequent that messageboard, and you try to attack me on the basis that i use that site? loving pathetic, you seriously couldn't come up with anything else? it's stupid to generalize members of a website like that, regardless of the site. "doge? well it's good you point yourself out as blockland trash".

And what are you even saying about slate? Are you actually thinking it works the same way as it did in previous versions?

That's it. Your skill at building has nothing to do with the surrounding environment. Having terrain removed doesn't make you a better builder, that is my point. That's why I brought that up as a mocking claim, and then said "Seriously though", as a transition from to a serious position.

Yeah, also big rigs was bad because I was bad at it. Superman 64 and Duke Nukem Forever too.

Well, resorting to very overused immature cliches really does say a lot.

Then what is your reasoning for having terrain and interiors?

Terrain and interiors serve much more functions than shadows and hurt less people while included
