Space Engineers - Say goodbye to Starmade and Blockade runner. - Games

-oops-

I feel like if they added it now, people would only build big ships and ram each other in multiplayer forevermore, whereas if they add survival features and such before MP, players might be more interested in those aspects before ship ramming.

[QUOTE=Everest;43013096]29.3 MB Gif yum[/QUOTE] Please, make no attempt at lowering the file size on that gif.

You Gif was so big I got pingkicked from the arma server I was playing on. Thanks.

i wish they would add colored interior lights and/or more practical interior versions of the reflector lamps

Posted the raw gif instead of the edited one on accident, sorry guys. [I]how embarrasing[/I]

[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] I had a nightmare where I had to run away from one of these.

[QUOTE=Cone;43013346]i wish they would add colored interior lights and/or more practical interior versions of the reflector lamps[/QUOTE] I'd love some alarm strobes, so in the event of an emergency, you could shut down all the main lights and turn on red flashing ones. Actually, here's what I want more than that. ACTION GROUPS. I'd like to be able to group toggles for lights/engines/gyros, and bind them to a single toggle. There should be no reason I have to turn on all my lights individually after I add more.

If they added actual internal atmospheres to ships, it would be great to if opening doors or holes in the hull would cause decompression. Imagine blowing open part of a ship just to see a bunch of people who weren't quick enough to activate their jetpack or anchored down getting sucked out.

get tons of prisoners by building a container ship that has what's basically a mouth with drills and craftily installed gravity generators around it. bust the hull and suck people in like a vacuum cleaner also here's my idea for the modular ship thing [t]http://files.1337upload.net/spesship_1.jpg[/t] just put the cockpit right next to the doorway of the module so you can quickly mount it, detach the clamps, disembark and get back on the main ship

Also, Darth-Veger, I want your opinion on my anchor boots idea from like a week ago. [QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;42943972]I just thought about something that absolutely needs to be implemented in the game. Its entirely possible someone suggested this before but this is an almost 80 page thread so who knows. Anchor boots. They'd attach you to whatever surface is directly under your feet, much like a landing gear will anchor ships to surfaces. They'd let you move around freely on that surface and on to slopes and such, although jumping would immediately detach you, and you'd be unable to sprint. They'd function regardless of gravity, so you could walk around in 0g environments or high-g environments. Think of the pastabilities: This would make loading gravity generator cannons easy, since the load could just anchor himself by the cannon without getting launched himself. Or even better, imagine you and a small group of allies drifting up to the side of a ship and anchoring yourselves to the outside. You walk around until you think you've gotten to a safe point. Then you cut open a hole in the hull and sneak inside that way. Ships entirely devoid of gravity as well, forcing anyone who tries to board you to anchor themselves as well or risk flying around, possibly in a ship hurtling through space. Just imagine firefights inside ships with people from both sides moving around on the floor, walls, and cieling at the same time.[/QUOTE]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/yEOb1qD.png[/img] I tried to get gifs of it working, but the filesizes were too big. It works decently well, but until you can get drills at non-right angles, it doesn't work so well for larger ships.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;43015305]get tons of prisoners by building a container ship that has what's basically a mouth with drills and craftily installed gravity generators around it. bust the hull and suck people in like a vacuum cleaner[/QUOTE] Dude, a friend of mine has been wanting to do exactly that for like, 3 years now. He will be very pleased.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;43015305]get tons of prisoners by building a container ship that has what's basically a mouth with drills and craftily installed gravity generators around it. bust the hull and suck people in like a vacuum cleaner[/QUOTE] are you kidding me i had the exact same idea i was thinking more about gates/huge hangar-like doors being implemented tho, so i could catch some of those people offguard, lock them in, then disable the inertia dampeners and send them flying into space

I liked my drilling tower so much i decided to start a mobile version of it. The beginnings of a giant deployable space wang that will impregnate many rocks: [img]http://i.imgur.com/n5wmsCv.jpg[/img]

i just crashed space engeneers because i moved the tardis whilst 5 ships were crashed into it, it lagged the fuck out and at the end it just crashed :')

[QUOTE=jessem3;43012992]DAMMIT been lurking this thread for the past month waiting for multiplayer, good lord add it already....[/QUOTE] There's a lot more to software development than spontaneously deciding to add new features. They probably have a well-defined roadmap for features they plan to add and in what order to maintain a stable game.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/27GJTRg.png[/img] It looks bland, but I built it for its function. Angrily raping asteroids.

[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;43018038][img]http://i.imgur.com/27GJTRg.png[/img] It looks bland, but I built it for its function. Angrily raping asteroids.[/QUOTE] How do you rape the asteroids when you are docked to them though?

[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;43018169]How do you rape the asteroids when you are docked to them though?[/QUOTE] The ship is like a sheath for the massive dick-tower inside. He docks to it then gets into the cockpit of the drill and moves it out and bores a hole in the roid.

I request a video of this.

For someone who is thinking of getting this, how does the "world" work? Is it procedurally generated or is it just one giant box?

can you copy paste ships from one save to another?

That's actually pretty fucking cool.

the symmetry mode still confuses me someone halp

I still find the rotating of blocks really confusing
