Proposal for ship submissions.

[frozen]

this idea is already been implemented, to be honest- just applied in a different fashion.

1. people make threads about models, and after all the community hullabaloo, submit it via pm/email to the relevant people (doom, jinx, me, etc).

2. those people then proceed to check the submission for bugs and errors first. if there are errors, they are given back to the original person, listing what the problems are and what needs fixing. with the recent thread i made about quality control for discovery, there is now a "minimum" expectations list that needs to be "checked" before any submissions are made- failure to fulfil all of the options results in automatic rejection.

3. assuming the submission is fine, its posted on the dev forums, where the actual practical use of the model is discussed. prime example: the dev team would be reluctant to include a model of optimus prime with 20 battleship turrets strapped to his arms, legs, chest, and head, but would be somewhat welcoming of a replacement model for say.. the outcast dreadnought. (example of what is needed, not wanted kind of situation).

4. the devs will not fix anyone's stuff for them- if this happens for one person, -everyone- just decides to beg for help instead of learning to fix their mistakes.

5. this is complicating matters for a reason i cannot really see, and is somewhat unneeded. so no, i dont really think this is something that is necessary.
