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).

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?

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.

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).

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.

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.

It works with every point from where you can project a "ray", including cameras.

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.

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

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.

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?

>vanilla spengies sucks shit
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
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467941274

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
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=503090284&searchtext=

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.

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.
Then there's also the issue with global chat having no log, although Keo fixed this with a 3rd-party site for the NEETfleet.

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

How do i make Space Engineers into something more than just space ship building?

Wait, I have a question.
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.

Their custom cannons just can't make it into range before getting rekt.

Post more fighters

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.

Hella sweet.

That reminds me that i need to make a fighter plane with advanced cannons.

Any chance that we could see the fighter on the right in action? I'm particularly interested in the effectiveness of that cannon on, say, a Flying Squirrel.

Put down a fuel processor and fuel storage tank.

In vanilla you have endless resources so it'll stay fueled.

I can make way better subs then I can ships or planes.
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.

Actually there are mods for multiplayer

Don't know how good or bad they are though. We should try one some day

FtD coop is fun for defacing each others' craft

Is he ever planning on adding momentum? Seems like all of the shitty dwg fliers that have jerky flight paths will just fall out of the sky if/when it's implemented.

So i put cooling units on my gauge increase yet my barrel cooldown time doesn't change.

wat do

That's an improvement though. Everything becomes better with Nazi.

Fire the cannons so it refreshes the cooldown time

So I just found out its really easy to make a reaction wheel stabiliser with a few lines of LUA and a precision spin block.

Seems way WAY more powerful than the jet stabiliser, cheap as fuck too.

>>121472051
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.
