Nice idea Votart, it's huge. Seems to behave as if it is very light though, could have some fun with this

The same weight, but resistance of air has increased and also I think that dark solutions will not be very effective.

A quick and easy $930+ :lms:

to get things rolling.

1000+

Could use some mi2 launcher here, but I'm afraid it won't be powerful enough for dillo of such a huge size.

Not quite done my first light but got a Dark one, lets start nice and low at 1515+ :dms:

heheh, a few weeks back (when the tiny dillo level was active) I made almost the same level for future use.
What's the rule about metal bars and rope? Since the dillo is so big metal bars dont go in front and behind the dillo but straight thru.... that's not realy ultralight.....

I think this situation should still be ultralight, rob. It wasn't intended that the dillo would be "resized", so the model is stretching out in the front, but the materials are still built according to the short range depth. Since for a smaller dillo it would not pose any problems, I suggest that we ignore this glitch and keep on building.

I think so too because even when you don't build metal bars thru the dillo it will fall thru them if you start your solution. When I created that level I avoided the problem by removing bars, rope and elastic from the materials.
Anyway it's up to Votart to decide.

I am quite happy with the glitch, I just ignored it.

Meanwhile 1150+ :lms:

Yes, this is a inconvenience that is not visible metal bar, rop and elastic passing through a sphere, but it does not prevent to connect them with each other inside approximately :wink:
