can I finally make my space gurren-lagann-ship with a drill to pierce the heavens?

It seems the hand-drill can do the same amount of damage as a ship mounted drill. It's a bit spazzy though, just with a few seconds of a hand drill can totally chew up a wall and it's surrounding blocks.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;43008387]It wouldn't be very effective. Especially if the ship is moving, you wouldn't be able to keep drilling on the same spot.[/QUOTE] Maybe not, but if you approached it from the front then you probably would have a better time, and even if you didn't pierce the hull you could still cause some damage to weaken it.

I think you're all forgetting the Kinetic torpedo you've fired previously from the magnetic gears. the drill is to finish yo.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/92ve58o.png[/img] It also tears itself apart with the vibration. I'll probably make a larger one that includes lighting and a gravity gen to suck out debris into a catch net.

Since it's now possible to equip the hand drill, I managed to get the other tools to show up.

So here is my tactical breaching vessel with (optional) A-Team paintjob and spoiler on it: [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/505823794735575868/C63608060F42E9933B0F3F4B4E7E1ED197DC38D8/[/t] As you can see, no cockpit is visible. That is because it is located within the ship and the entrance is on the bottom: [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/505823794735681647/EAE2F96750AE42A8F4EB49B630B4C231F5023F81/[/t] And here is an image after the infiltration: [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/505823794735577687/33FD9F4F1FF144F7BFE1976122923200F13BA434/[/t]

The default big blue ship is not very secure. To take control of it, space pirates would only really have to destroy one large thruster and one interior wall block: [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/505823794736062614/599511ED03AED48B252F11FE3B556DB928E9F055/[/t] Let the security hole finding begin!

Imagine a ship similar to the millennium falcon that lands on the invisible part of a ship, and then is loaded with drills for a boarding party and then in ship combat for the ship, to try and take it with minimal damage

I look forward to eventually being able to make one of these: [img]http://also.kottke.org/misc/images/big-drill.jpg[/img]

when i'm digging out an asteroid to put a station into it i can't help but feel like it's gonna turn into Ted's Caving Story

[QUOTE=Paramud;43008928]I look forward to eventually being able to make one of these: [img]http://also.kottke.org/misc/images/big-drill.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] What's stopping you (except that it won't rotate)

I love the drills. I made a parasite ship which can burrow into something without damaging itself (basically what anyone does atm) [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/705107843063475090/5B3B24416A17627720065EE3940096E318BE6260/[/t] I didn't notice how square the hole was till I got out of the ship

[QUOTE=damnatus;43009140]What's stopping you (except that it won't rotate)[/QUOTE] But that's the entire appeal of it.

yeah I built upon my own parasite ship as well. it's much bigger and a little clunkier, but that's what you gotta make if you want to make something that affects a ship even with it's dampeners on [editline]28th November 2013[/editline] [video=youtube;EC_I51I_Td4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC_I51I_Td4&feature=youtu.be[/video] parasite ship long video, just skip around. for some reason teamspeak starts complaining like hell whenever I play space engineers.

I dug a tunnel trough the station's asteroid, but my game started slowing down a lot due to all the rocks [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/705107843063952083/83AF7E0BC3DDA8EA06DC999E96E10C87FD6B6F7A/[/t] Also, they're affected by gravity generators.

then put one at the far end and use it to vacuum up the rocks [editline]28th November 2013[/editline] make a little hoover ship :v:

make base inside asteroid place lots and lots of gravity generators against a wall of the asteroid that looks prime to be attacked by drill power them on when the drill starts, and watch as the magnificent rocks fly out and destroy the drill

[I]I have begun a mining project![/I] The catching bin, built below your mining vessel to catch all dropped resources.

Aw yea, I knew it was gonna be the drill.

Now I can re-enact that one James Bond film with a drill torpedo.

I guess we now will see some asteroid sculptures
