Suggestions needed · 1:32am May 27th, 2022
So, with the new story I want to ask, should the story have a modernized Equestria with propeller aircraft only (meaning that they are in the era of machines [1945] ), or should it just be its usual 1900s to 1500s style era with only that train and a few pony carriages here and there.
Me personally? The way the characters reacted in UA seemed like they had absolutely no idea flying machines like that could exist. Even thinking it was a beast of some sort until getting an uncomfortably close look. If they had gotten to the point of developing prop planes (at least long enough for prop planes to be common knowledge) they may not have known what a helicopter was exactly, but they would have likely recognized it as a machine much sooner.
My personal recommendation? Pre mechanical flight era, but given pinkies contraption, and the rig rainbow has strapped to her turtles back, I'd say they have the tech to build planes, but haven't had a need.

I'll take your notes into consideration! Thank you.
Imo i prefer ponies that have early WW1 technology and some slight steampunk style
