[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;43545906]And so it begins. There's a recruitment page on the official forums for a furry corporation. I found the glut of people making their own fictional corporations iffy as it is, but that guy is textbook furry sperg, so obsessed with the fandom/fetish it permeates his every written sentence. I'm just hoping the devs continue to implement only good ideas, not just the ones that people want (or think they want, until they actually experience the malformed mechanic they begged for)[/QUOTE] Could be great fun to fight them in-game. They can be the Borg of Space Engineers.

I think you are guys are going to really love this new update. A lot (or so i believe) :v:

MULTIPLAYERRRRRRR?

[QUOTE=kenji;43547460]MULTIPLAYERRRRRRR?[/QUOTE] Nope. Horse armor.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;43547436]I think you are guys are going to really love this new update. A lot (or so i believe) :v:[/QUOTE] I know a tiny bit of it, the feature that I keep getting spam messages about. Well, not a feature, but still.

It's heavy armor isn't it?

Ohh I'm so hyped. Whens the update?

[QUOTE=Tomthetechy;43547860]Ohh I'm so hyped. Whens the update?[/QUOTE] Tomorrow.

New update will bring 100% science based space dragons.

Was there even an update that we didn't absolutely adore yet?

[QUOTE=Mastahamma;43547970]Was there even an update that we didn't absolutely adore yet?[/QUOTE] Honestly, I didn't really like the doors update. It's like they didn't even test it.

If multiplayer is soon this will be great I've barely even played but that's because I'm waiting for MP :v:

But that shit right there? That needs to stop. [quote]It would actually be rather amusing if someone modded in realistically squishy pigs as an alternate rocket munition.[/QUOTE] "Quickly, GIR! RIDE THE PIG!"

I don't know if anyone has done this before, but I decided to try out something practical after a round of crashing large ships into asteroids for fun. I made a series of large plates, big squares of light armor blocks, with varying thickness. I then crashed small fighter craft into them to test how much damage is caused. (for reference, the fighter in question is the default little blue fighter that spawns with easy-start worlds; it weighs roughly 25,000kg). Between the spawn and the plates, I was able to accelerate to 60m/s before crashing. Lots of pictures incoming. Here are the test plates, labeled by thickness. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689169071/894665779C8CBE97887B8E51D9BE0F7BCA7386AB/[/t] Here is the impact on the first plate. The ship basically punched right through, with the front prongs obliterated but the rear intact. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689170153/0DCC27C75E57AC82153504B422184587BC32A558/[/t] Impact 2. The ship made a hole, but didn't punch through entirely, as you can see the rear half of the craft floating near the impact. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689171234/2CE5555D93925C907AAFA662533E4BF8AF16DFD1/[/t] As a side note, I took potshots at this one while I was inbound; the gatling gun doesn't really seem to do much more than dent the plating. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689171827/6D51C51A227F8A249892347E435CBDDDE18A2F14/[/t] Impact 3. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689174152/952330E2D7D63DD797567FEED4C11A6EA536D46B/[/t] A close-up of the same impact. 3 seemed to be the least damaged, but I don't know if that's due to some difference that found its way into the test, such as in my flying. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689172676/908A261DD4C0D877050F8F430EBACC63C0EC9EAE/[/t] Impact 4. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689175309/A723EED5ED58058A10F2EE82DEB9E89AF30C1C2C/[/t] Rear of impact 4. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689174799/E034010983F095F082C97A43BC1AB3AF75E108DB/[/t] Final results. I had to attach thrusters and gyros to the plates so they didn't fly off and get lost between tests, but you can see how even then, the impacts have really scattered them. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/669083575689176760/DB41CB9EB61B2CC60B5217BAE95613E6AE0B11E6/[/t] Something I found interesting was how the thicker the plate, the more damage was done to the impacting vehicle. The holes in the plating remained mostly the same, but by plate 4, the impact vehicle had pretty much disintegrated.

Progress on the Kuun-Lan. Sorry it doesn't look that good.

Always looks better-ish. [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30622781/Screenshots/Space%20Engineers/2014-01-15_00007.jpg[/img]

In fact I'm pretty sure there's a bigass disclaimer on the Steam store page saying that the game is unfinished and being tested. There are going to be bugs and it's our job to point them out so they get fixed before v1.0 goes live.

there was actually a huge flamefight over this on the forums that was linked a while back also, if we're serious about a facepunch faction, shall our colors be red and white?
