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

You can remote control stuff without being in a cockpit. This could be very useful.

So I decided to update an old ship with some new mods: [t]http://i.imgur.com/UcrJNxw.png[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/vrABlg1.jpg[/t] After that I wondered if I should make a bigger version of it for the titan engine. ...so I did! [t]http://i.imgur.com/9hjZIHr.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/RK1Q1fc.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RxaRBf6.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/IExqzPx.png[/t] It's only 1,5 times as long and wide, but has double the thrusters, 4 times the weapons and 2 times the refineries/assemblers AND I fitted a gravity drive so the top speed is 120 m/s. I tested the rockets on the red ship, and the red ship was gone within 20 seconds :v:

Oh by the way, there's a mod on the workshop that changes the collisions for the turrets so you can cover up the blocky section of it.

Someone just showed me their save of a 1:1 scale titanic made with small ship blocks. I am in awe.

Some thing i've been working on whenever the incredibly rare spark of motivation hits me. Also used it to test how the 1x1x2 turret collision boxes work, if at all. Turns out the turrets behave perfectly fine. Can't seem to get the main thruster sections looking at all nice; I seem to constantly default to a penis-shaped ship i.e. a long main structure with 2 engine clusters stuck to either side.

Anybody else having trouble with landing gear since the update? on my large ship if I lock the landing gear to an asteroid then turn on the drills, it keeps unlocking. Auto-lock is not turned on. I played on a different computer last night and don't recall having this trouble, so maybe it only happens on lower-end machines.

when did they add in the satisfying as fuck CLUNK for when metal meets metal?

Some of the Space Police related stuff people are making is truly amazing.

I look at all these ships and I want to see videos displaying the insides, what each room's for and what it all looks like. I bought this game shortly after it came out and it was rather laggy for me, and it probably still is (unless it's been optimised?) so I can't really walk through the ships myself.

I love how we went from [url]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/848093507554973044/AF4E8F80CC6B5F66FBC662D9A508C6A3E32DA584/[/url] to [url]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/469808806245157995/C15B6A0C3EA34B6CFD8ED48BD0F5888FE73D5862/[/url]

[QUOTE=Diax1324;45702899]^[/QUOTE] I actually based it of the very big brother of a bird of prey, the "Vor'cha class". I did scale it down a bit to 42x47 blocks, whilst a 1:1 model would be roughly 140 blocks wide and 190 blocks long.

messing around with fighter designs .. the shitty rotors explode if you turn too fast [img]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e244/teshok/2014-08-16_00002_zps69498fae.jpg[/img]

Decided to replace my tilting hangar doors on my carrier with an elevator style lowerng mechanism, turns out pretty good as the fighter i made for my carrier has JUST enough clearance to launch out of it.

Will space engineers ever go down to planets and such? Or solar systems? Or is this game more of a build your ship and fight?

Uploaded my world to the workshop again.

I tried to make a fucking ship with extending rocket launcher but nope, I can't put them in because pistons have less than a millimeter offset which causes the rocket launcher to get stuck.

Love that fighter. Looks aggressive, yet efficient. And the rotating wings are fantastic, considering that all fighters would be navy, meaning folding wings are a must for cramped carriers.

Are there any design tutorials for space engineers? All the ships I make tend to have some really glaring vulnerabilities, such as two sections of the ship being connected by a single shitty glass walkway. Also why are there virtually nobody on the servers? Are people [I]that[/I] busy building their ships in creative mode? Is it just the game being unpopular in Europe or what?

Anyone have any tips on making my ships not look boring as hell?

[QUOTE=xxncxx;45705575]Anyone have any tips on making my ships not look boring as hell?[/QUOTE] Use slopes, paint them, use mods to shine things up, etc. My ships look boring as heck too mainly because of their industrial purposes and the fact that I am too lazy to actually paint them. Why dont you post some pictures of the offending ships? We might give some tips on how to make them more shiny and pretty looking

What are some must have mods, do you reckon? Any collections of items and such? I think glass is bugged. I don't see how you can get it the panes of glass to connect together without having supporting blocks - it's like you can't place glass on glass.

I wish they would add some greebling blocks.

I'm not sure whats changed since the last time I played, but how am I supposed to get refineries to work? I put my ore inside it but I couldn't get it to begin smelting them.
