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

We can now close our windoors for maximum security! Also, on the topic of escape pods, yes, they would work, right as soon as landing gears can survive slightly more force than a gentle breeze. I don't want to do a combat turn and fling the escape pods off the ship.

[QUOTE=Cone;43488826]actually couldn't you use that for boarding parties? just stick some drills on there and there you go[/QUOTE] I don't think drills are very effective vs hull blocks at the moment. Seats you could put inside small ships could be nice. Possible some kind of explosive bolt block too, allowing you to keep a launch hatch sealed until you blow the bolts and have that section of hull fall away.

So I had an idea, now that we can leave drills on I was thinking of drill missiles that you fire at people, they'd have explosive breaking mechanisms covering the tip to prevent possible destruction of the drill and a shitload of gyroscopes to stabilize it or something not even sure how they'd work at all, but it'd be like chainsaw rockets from cortex commands, but with drills. (perhaps in the future we'll be able to set engines to a on/off state for providing thrust?) Though I do remember someone making a passive means of acceleration exploiting the dampening mechanic you see with engines by having them rotate on a propeller made with motors so that could work. But It'd be fucking awesome firing a drill rocket at the enemy and watching it drill through their ship.

sweet, squeegy's video was featured as a trailer for the game?

You know what I've been thinking while ramming ships into asteroids and other ships (apart from "this is fucking cool")? A collision stops a ship way too fast. Ships need to have more inertia when colliding. Here's what I'm talking about. How is it right now: [img]http://i.imgur.com/iJEzRO4.png[/img] How I think would be better: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Tvt7sTN.png[/img] Way more hull damage because a fuckhuge ship won't stop so quickly. [editline]10th January 2014[/editline] Veger, get to it! :v:

The impacts is fine. What is the problem is the damps stopping the ship. Next time, impact an asteroid and turn everything off and you'll see. EDIT: wait I think i missread your diagrams. I don't know, you got to remember this is a newtonic environment. A ship isn't going to scrape along an asteroid like that unless its constantly being pushed against it.

[QUOTE=PredGD;43489252]sweet, squeegy's video was featured as a trailer for the game?[/QUOTE] Oh shit, i just noticed the indiegala video is actually a stolen one since its a reupload.

I really hope that the smaller weapon systems in this game are like ACF for GMod, instead of having one or two types of rocket pods and a few gatling guns.

If any part of the hull came in to proximity of an object, it would light up the cockpit or make a noise and upon contact, with more intensity. Would make mining and flying around tight spaces a bit better I think :v:

[QUOTE=NoDachi;43490275]you got to remember this is a newtonic environment. A ship isn't going to scrape along an asteroid like that unless its constantly being pushed against it.[/QUOTE] Still it stops way too fast. Those ships weigh millions of tons, there's no way it could stop in a second when colliding against an asteroid.

[QUOTE=damnatus;43491019]Still it stops way too fast.

[QUOTE=viperfan7;43491061]We must inform them of the error of their ways[/QUOTE]I just submitted a copyright infringement thingy.

Working on another goliath at the moment and although it's not as large as my last ship, it's still pretty damn big. Hopefully this one won't turn like a stick of butter in a windtunnel.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;43489168][B]$13.99 for Space Engineers + Miner Wars + Miner Wars Arena[/B] [URL]http://www.indiegala.com/[/URL][/QUOTE] anyone else find it kind of scummy how large a percentage goes to the gala people by default? the devs only end up getting 70%

My ship is finally finished (keep in mind that by 'finished,' I mean it's hull is finished and it can fly)! Here are some screenshots for this ship (which is about 300m long): The ship's side [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/706237801471930307/8EB5BE276E9061513C6BF3707040B73EB9FF904C/[/t] The head [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/706237801471926452/9BAE25B673F06F76079702030F3E9DAFA3DADC89/[/t] It's vaguely based off of this: [img]http://www.merzo.net/images/1mppstbatris.gif[/img] [editline]10th January 2014[/editline] I'm probably going to change the design on the hull drastically later and get some colors on it (blue and black), but for now I'm content with this. Especially since it moves in all directions at very high speeds for such a large ship.

It looks like a shit, literally, with some corns in it. It's way too blocky for an outer hull, inside is very empty and ... lazy, basically an empty shell. I'm very sorry, but I was expecting much more.

On the new 64bit map I found a small asteroid cluster 23km from the start point. Time to explore some more.

I'm almost done my first a symetrical ship. it's actually the best thing I've built yet.

Why the fuck do my motors break when they reach the limit I set for them? They'll stop briefly then slam erratically against the brakes and just shatter my shit. What the fuck is this and how can I stop it?
