Next time remove the Gmod server from the OP.
It's officially dead forever.

Launching?
Where are you launching to?
There's no planets to colonize.
HOLY SHIT

Sorry. I'm not from /egg/ and just copied the last OP.
I'M SO EXCITED FOR TUTORIALS
So I just bought Space Engineers.
How the fuck do you get ammunition? I've been blown up about six times by NPCs, and so I started building a fighter in an asteroid cave. But I have no way of arming it. Do I just ram shit?
>>121393204
>someone from another general just came by to make us a new thread
T-thank you

You need magnesium for ammo.
If you don't have magnesium nearby, just make a shitty remote controlled CLANGtorpedo with poprocks.
>>121393912
You build it.
>>121393912
Welcome to Mareks wild ride.
I hope you enjoy your stay because there are no brakes on the nothing train..
Ammuntion is build in the assembler. Of course you could just build an heavy metal tip infront of your ship and ram the shit out of enemies but I don't think that's a good idea.

My ships are starting to get to the point where I can't get the center of mass low enough to be inline with the propellers without sinking the damn thing if I put much more than the weapons on (read: anything more than the bare minimum superstructure, especially if it's not made of wood). I like the look of wooden decks and metal up top though, so is there anything I can do? Is it time for me to start using alloy?

Remember that comic strip which shows an space engineer trying to leave through a door, but then getting smashed by lag?
They actually fixed that, you now lock onto whatever grid you stand on. Shit can then spasm and lag all over the place, from inside you can´t tell.
THANKS KEEN
>>121406467

>>121407787
We cleaned the group (for now) and rebooted the server on a very small scale. As long as it's as shitty as it is, I don't want to deal with 400+ grids of 75+ players again.
Currently, there is 20 people on the list, 5 players active, and 17 grids.

Now I think of it, any /egg/ers want to play Starmade together and make a planet colony? I like the game, just hard playing by myself.

It's more in line with the old weekly updates that added quality-of-life stuff and small features (like Remote Control blocks, timers, sensors, etc).planets are never gonna come out anyways
Next week will most likely be voice chat, since MEngies already has that and spengies doesn't for some reason.
how the fuck do planes work
i can't make anything that stays in the air longer than 3 seconds and that's the time it takes for the fucking thing to fall to the ground
I need some help here.
Is there a list of which items fit through a small conveyer and which do not?
Secondly, In need a list of all base components.
Surely I could click on every block in the wiki and see what its base component is.. but thats a chore man.

Placing blocks from the cockpit is actually rather nice for building, but it seems that several existing cockpit blocks aren't made for this - or don't work if they don't have LoS (transparency breacks LoS regardless). Gotta investigate further. The testrig works.And so do the admin controls. That shit is nice.STILL CANNOT SAVE GAME STATES THOUGH REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You don't know that!You're probably right.
>>121412763
>voice chat
W-what? Is it comms-based?
Okay, so, it appears if there IS a block in front of your cockpit, you CANNOT place anything, because LoS. If LoS is uninterrupted, for whatever reason (such as an open frame panel, see webm related), you can place blocks.
In other words, I need to ditch the folding cockpit (RIP) and rebuild a new cockpit that uses the same dimensions, but also open frames then I can place blocks with my current utility ship(s).
>>121416305

Can you build in third-person while inside a ship?
How does my shitty giant small ship look?
I keep trying to figure out if there's anything I should add.
>>121416680
No top turret?
>>121417016
There are two, but yeah, not one directly on top. It would stick out like a sore thumb
Are tail planes uncontrollable via a complex controller?
I am trying to use them to turn my airship but the complex controller setup for them just has positive and negative which doesnt make sense since they are a rudder and elevator combined.
>Another great new feature is the Construction cockpit that allows you to place new blocks in the exact same ways as you were used to but from the comfort of your small or large ship (by pressing CTRL+G while in cockpit).
YES.
I NEVER HAVE TO EXPOSE MYSELF TO THE CRUEL OPEN EXPANSE AGAIN.
Does it work with drone though?
>>121416330
So I rebuilt the cockpit. Might need some tuning, but it's better than I thought. This is salvageable.
>>121416680
add more guns
and possibly make a large ship version of that ship, because it looks like it could be a good one
>>121417090
Ah I didn't think of that one the sides.
Good stuff anon.
>tfw can't build cool ships.
>>121417618
could I get the blueprint for that new cockpit ship?
it looks great
>>121417634
>add more guns
It's not really designed to be a fighter, but I can do a redux with a lot of guns.
I also really wish I had made it as a large ship because yeah, it looks fucking great and as a large ship would be even better. There's not some kind of upscaler, right?
>>121417730
I mean I've spent like ten or something hours on it over the past few days, I thought it was going to turn out shitty like my last ship but I'm pleasantly surprised.
I just sort of build as I go, I guess.
>>121415048
>>mods
This meme needs to fucking die. Vanilla spengies sucks giant asshole.
>>121416662
Sorta, yeah. It's just ... quite awkward. You move the camera's position relative to the ship, which is just ... inverted but not. I dunno. I don't like that.see webm related.
>>121417604
It works with every point from where you can project a "ray", including cameras.
>>121417778
I could give it to you, but that ship uses a lot of mods. And the kicker is, the open "frames" aren't DX11 ready, nor are they in any official mod. We hid it inside another mod, because the original source was ... very report happy about attempts to improve upon his builds yet did not dignify communication approaches with responses.
>tfw I will forever have a banned mod in my workshop
I never thought of this, but doesn't Iron Man need reaction mass for his thrusters?
does that mean he could run out of fuel?
>>121418532
he uses unobtainium to power it with electricity
it also never runs out because special element that only he has because he invented it
so what do you guys think of my ship? any tips? some of the rooms are still empty, no ai yet, just some missles and a cannon i was trying out, i think its decent
>>121419174
Im trying to make a strong ship, and so far my skills with making boats is shit, and i dont know how to do shit like control blocks, im about to fight OW and WF
>>121419174
>OW but not shit
I like it
Although maybe those alloy boxes need more texture to them, they look a little bland
maybe make them sloped like that metal bit at the back. On the plus side it's be better armoured
>>121418068
Cameras don't work for me.
The dream is dead.
>>121419646
the above deck section has nothing in them atm, except for the very left and right sides, they have missles in them. everything is pretty much below deck and there is still more room
>>121419961
Im also willing to have someone join me if they wanna come check it out, maybe help out or something.
is it of any advantage to have part of the ship under water in ftd? does it reduce bullet damage?
and how do i make a self balancing sub?

Wew
So is there a better way of keeping the tracks from slipping out when turning and achieve smoother movement?
>>121420343
Water slows cannon shells I'm pretty sure
definitely reduces laser damage
missiles won't be able to get you
90% of AI torpedoes don't seem to have ballast so you won't need to worry
Subs are essentially invincible
To make them just use tonnes of hydrofoils around the centre of mass (a bit forward) and use control blocks to set them to -45 if above 50m and +45 if below 50m
Then put some on the front and set them to -45 if pitch is above 0 and +45 is pitch is below 0
Then spam a bunch of jet stabilisers, but make sure they're facing out from the middle or they'll flip you

Pretty sure everything you can control is controllable via a complex controller. You just need to tell your thruster/spinblocks/rudders/whatnot how to respond to various inputs.

Working on replacing single blocks with beams where ever possible. This dude on the workshop makes nice looking german ships but the only place he uses beams is the fucking deck wood. Pic related, ignore the battle damage, I was fucking around before I started replacing shit.
Replaced the balance custom jet with some hydrofoils on the front and back to apply torque and keep me level, added a shitty torpedo bulge near my ammo stores and engine.
The two front turrets are timed flak, no head. The big one behind those is .5m HE shells like the anon with the beautiful bewts in the last thread recommended. Then there's the sabot cannon just fore of the bridge, and an inertial fuzed frag in the rear in case something has shields. Just realized there are no warheads aside from the sabot cannon, huh.
The missiles up top (3 are 4 long, 2 5 long) all have different flight profiles (# of fins, IR cameras, target guidance, etc) so as to increase the odds of a hit on an erratic target.
>>121429505
finished my harasser trimeran, goes 65m/s and turns on a dime. only real problem is that turrets blow for aiming at things with apn/fin missiles that don't have thrusters, they always fire wide while circling, magnet's not quite good enough.
still, fun ship, might just do this again with a vertical launch only ship, more missiles and engages at farther range but the speedy circling and rapid course changes are amazing for fighting stuff like the dwg, i was dodgin sledge missiles left n right.
>>121432026

Starting to feel like this is baitposting.
I have an idea for a weapon in spengees: tandem torpedo. The weapon consist in a long 1 wide kinetic penetrator made of heavy armor followed shortly by another projectile made with warheads, so the penetrator creates a hole and the warheads can explode inside the ship. Is it a viable? Do warheads get shot by turrets?
>Another week without planets

You can do a lot of clever fucking stuff with vanilla if you're willing to use scripting a little, and use gravity for fun & profit.
Speaking of, planning on building a capital ship/super heavy monitor ship, but can't decide on what to use for the main turrets. Does /egg/ have reccomendations?
>A11 GAW

Like this one for sheer versatility, but it will likely either be a single turret or will need to see an extreme refit to have multiple.
>R-Tec MPAC
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=295399732
The design is pure sex and might even have a higher RoF than most printed torp designs with a lot of tweaking. But it's completely busted/unsupported as the game stands.
>Vanilla Railgun

I like the rate of fire on this one, but the payload is too explosive. Maybe I'll reserve it as a secondary armament.

it's not that vanilla sucks, it's that i don't have 6 friends that play spengis and want to man my custom built turrets and weapons on my ship and some good modded ai turrets on my ship is far more easier to build and to use than one of those weapons
>>121453579
>>121455814
When the game offers me blocks a quarter of the size of the current ones to be used on any ship, I'll use vanilla. Until then I really don't feel like having simple turrets the size of a ship, especially when the game is optimized like ass and the pistons will clang everything apart.
Until then it's like trying to build a microprocessor with legos.

Movement feels kinda heavy, but I´m not sure if this fix or the gravity changes caused that.
They probably added this when they fixed docking to ships, it´s the same gridlock mechanic.
>>121458459
That was my plan originally, I put the engine in the bottom, I didn't anticipate the game calculating it as lighter than water however, fucked up my whole design.

Well, we already have a chat system which works only through transmitters. It´s just that everybody uses the global chat instead.
whats the best layout for an engine in ftd? local tanks seem to give more boost than superchargers
Couldn't they solve the 'problem' in robocraft with redundancy by simply not having the smg be hitscan?
Without hitscan you wouldn't be able to snipe away components from long range, wings on aircraft would be safer since one would have to lead ones shots. And in long range the smg would have even more problems since the projectile might not reach the target before it moves. So smgs would only come into their own in mid to close range battles.
>>121459921
>It´s just that everybody uses the global chat instead
Of course, that doesn't work if you're planning a raid on another faction.

can you fit more steam cannons anywhere?
Planets next week confirmed.
>>121462880
I don't think so.
Placing more cannons pointing backwards on the middle and rear engines would be useless because the steam coming from the front would kill them, and cannons pointing up to give more power to the cogs would clip through the ground unless I made the whole thing taller
I think this is as far as this thing is gonna go without some big changes to its design. 1360 kph with modded wheels and 740 with all vanilla blocks is pretty good anyway

Are the middle wheels necessary? I mean, if I've learned anything from this sort of setup is the middle wheels are only needed if there's a large construction in the center of the build. If the wheels weren't there, the middle engine wouldn't need to either.
Try a quick experiment with only the front and back wheels, and just a frame connecting them.

Man i really wonder what battles in FtD are going to look like with advanced cannons.
Right now anything with custom cannons is useless when it comes to range. I just built a puny unfinished piece of shit boat (not a ship, it's a fucking boat) with a 6 barrel 30 mil cannon and it just absolutely wrecks anything without lasers or missiles. Their custom cannons just can't make it into range before getting rekt.

It also tears the shit out of flying squirrels. At a certain range there's little to no way of missing because of ridiculous projectile velocity.

I love FTD but whenever I play it I leave dissatisfied because I spend 8 hours on a ship just for it to be shit when fighting the AI.
The best ships I have made are a gauss sub which absolutely wrecks everything.
Then a missile pod turret that is only 12x5, has just enough buoyancy to float 30 feet underwater and processes its own resources as well as have two shields on top for protection.
Best part is they are under 10000RP and 6 of them can wreck two coffin nails.

You would require a fuckhuge plane for advance cannons.
A helicopter I think would be better.
Made a silly little tank.
I kinda wish Besiege had two separate parts for the flamethrower, a piece for the tank and the nozzle. Make the nozzle have adjustable pressure so you can do stuff like a high pressure nozzle for a massive gout of flame, but unless you pack a bunch of fuel tanks its not gonna last a while. Alternatively low pressure would mean a small spout, but it'd last a good while on just one tank, saving a lot of weight.

However it is A LOT more efficient resource-wise.
Should you lose your bomber, aside from vital systems like thrusters and power supply, you're going to lose a lot of welders and the contents of the ship's cargo containers.
And keep in mind that you will lose at least one bomber in any serious operation.

don't feel like uploading yet, but here's a cutaway, since I was curious how much of a pain in the ass it'd be to do.a lot
nosegun fires a 0.5x1 casing+HE shell on a beltloader which desu, is far far better than I expected it to be. velocity is low, but at altitude it's still very dangerous to OW ships. (I should remake this as a turret later)
just before the huge prop in the middle is the ammo controller for the 4 AA type guns. These do good accurate damage a block at a time at a high rate.
rear prop is on ACB's
the wheel up top is controlled by LUA (can upload the code though if interested, its really really basic). It could take up way less volume, I never built the vessel with it in mind.
The reason for the need to have the stabilisers is I figured I could make heli airships much tougher by simply moving the spinner out of fire. So the dedicated spinner is upside down, losing the magic self righting capacity but gaining huge boost to survivability. I can have the belly blown open and still be flying.

Water cannons that provide pressurised steam when heated. They also have infinite ammo by default, so they're ideal for propelling strange machines.
Apart from that, pinning blocks in place and a few bug fixes, nothing's been added for a while

Also yeah, steam cannons are the shit. You can use them as rockets, you can make steam turbines and other types of engines with them

A few more scramjets pushed it to 1393
I'm going to stick water guns everywhere possible and see how more retarded it can get

Add more wings and thrusters.

If only the real world worked like Besiege

you could build a platform on top to house way more of them.

three things to keep in mind with adv cannons:
>adding more autoloaders increases complexity and makes every autoloader take longer to load
>belt fed autoloaders are a thing and are vastly superior to regular 1x1 autoloaders
the downside to the belt fed autoloaders is the fact that they can't fire while the clip is reloading, meaning if you have few inputs and a low gauge there's a large downtime in firing (beltfeds are still worth it because webm related)
and finally, and most importantly:
>the smaller the shell, the faster it travels to input AND loads into autoloader
webm related is 50 gauge with 4 beltfeds per gun and 1-length HE shells (the only max gauge shell length that will fit into belt-feds)

Real-world rocketry is all about finding material exploits that let you go really fast, and they've had quite a bit of success.
Pictured is the Saturn V rocket. It is a giant metal cylinder, larger than most buildings, almost entirely filled with explosive chemicals. It was designed and built for the sole purpose of moving fast enough to escape Earth's gravity. If that isn't CLANG, I don't know what is.

I really hope they add a logistics AI card. Something that'd work like a simple version of X3's CLS settings.

Almost did 1600 kph
Shame I can't run this at 100% simulation speed and see how fucking fast it actually looks. Gotta try this on a plane.

Yeah but the idea was to do it just adding cannons to the existing frame
I got inspired to try and replicate >>121453579 (with some artistic liberties, of course), and I feel like I'm doing alright so far. Two 29.2cm guns up front, AMS up top, and a quad-barrel AA gun on the back. Any ideas on where I can fit the missile launchers?

Thanks anon, I achieved a laserbeam with a microgauge 1m shells. Now the problem is they don't do any damage at all. How would I go about using say 4m shells? Have a singe autoloader with a long ass clip?
