For the Members that watched this episode already in Early Access: I had to reupload the video due to some "failed to render" transitions. For the rest, this video did not change. 👍

[@Beeblebum]

Lol.. Just noticed another series of non rendered transitions... Guess that is what you get with software that costs you an arm and a leg every month. 🖕

[@KeithOlson]

FWIW, when building a heavy fighter, I like to put one turret on each side of the ship. They can still fire forward and offer *FAR* more coverage than a single one on top.

[@zipninja8499]

The Outpost is looking sweet!

[@frodrick2]

I am really liking the base, Beebs. The blue and gray look really good together. I am also happy to see the ice moon's name of Frigia (soft G, like Fridge). Keep up the good work!

[@overrunevents2140]

I know you said not to name it , but I couldn't resist. It is totally Freefall. Yup, the Freefall Fighter Mk II

[@midniteoyl8913]

Ship needs a Bumper Sticker saying 'Huff'n Gas and Kik'n Ass!"

[@Beeblebum]

YES! consider it done! 😂

[@generichardson4771]

watching the part that youre building the new fighter its not just the turret on the top of the fighter but those on the roof dancing to the beat of the song

[@brianpentecostaldeplorable9841]

You do great work and are humble. That's what makes your content so good !

[@Beeblebum]

🙏Thank you... Not sure if it is "humble" or just "not confident enough".. haha 😅

[@peaveycry]

Funny fighter, kinda short range but works! For the airlock can i suggest setting the vents inside the airlock to depressurize to save oxygen waste.

[@Beeblebum]

That is the plan once I set up the Event Controllers. 👍

[@rubikmonat6589]

Mr Buzzy, because of all those machine cannons on it.

[@grillbears]

We have a type of wasp here called a YellowJacket or Yellow Jacket. Could be nice for a fighter.

[@XtrovertedHermit]

You got a stinger and now you need a Talon.

[@florianmaschke269]

Hehehe. That fighter of yours looks like an nimble dancer has a gulash cannon on the back. So funny. Thanks for the video. Looks amazing.

[@annkoehler8017]

Oh my goodness, the work on the base was amazing with the lighting you used. I like the idea of a tower in the future there. Also, I've learned that when you run out of fuel, a ship will mysteriously go in only one direction; down. LOL I loved this episode so much!!!

[@frodrick2]

Possible fighter names: FLAB-SLAB (Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee) or perhaps: The Monarch

[@nullpoint3346]

Remember, kings typically suck in combat, and butterflies more so. [The Monarch] Purpose: Decorative Satellite. Functions: signal relay and power collection. Power: Solar panels and batteries arranged and painted to resemble a Monarch butterfly. Cargo: Minimal, depends on grid size. Increases are typically placed within the "abdomen" segment. Weapons: None. The ship possesses no _direct_ attack options. (Hidden combat function: long range drone controller do to signal relay function.)

[@akhinnaeempire455]

Finally got to watch this! I was nearly as excited as you to see the piston pop up in the build menu! 😀

[@Beeblebum]

Haha.. Yeah.. Excited and like... "WHY?" 😂

[@hquest]

44:43 - I can hear Snoop Dogg singing "When the pigs try to get at you (Park it like it's hot, park it like it's hot, park it like it's hot)"

[@fredpryde8555]

that is how they do it now on earth by trial and error with rockets etc great series

[@edwardseth1230]

looks like a bumble bee

[@rafezetter8003]

channel name may be a clue....

[@randallvolk8437]

On Europa atmo thruster do work for some reason. So you could try them if you are able to build them. Maybe have all three types on a ship for some good backup!

[@ralphsexton8531]

My thought on the fighter was Arthur - The Once and Future Fighter. But references to that book oft come to mind with vehicles and people that return to their previous jobs. As to the stinger flying... 8 thrusters may be enough, but it looks like you used at least some flat atmospheric thrusters. Keep in mind that those only produce half the thrust of the full thrusters. That may be part of the issue. I'm listening at work, and didn't have a chance to see the construction in detail, so I may be wrong about how you build her.

[@Beeblebum]

No atmos on the stinger nor on the new fighter... But Flatmos is a good call.. Allows me to keep lower profile.

[@hippyhappyhippo]

Press "T" to turn off 'autorotate' so that whenever you're placing blocks the block doesn't keep flipping orientation. Also, the Nato magazines you can loot can be used in all rifles but has 30 rounds in the magazine, so if you use it for the marksman rifle instead of the normal 8 rounds for the specific magazine, you'll have 30. I'm not sure if the damage is different though.

[@stephenrogers7886]

Hi Beeblebum another great video, but you do need to add a event controller and a sound block to your little attack ship and set it up so when you hydrogen tank falls below 25% of hydrogen it sets off and alarm so you know when to land or run away.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, that was something that came to mind afterwards... 😂 And will be added (hopefully) in the next one.

[@thjaeger57]

The new fighter looks like a WASP

[@JamesAlexanderMartin]

Expose one of your air vents to the elements, set it to depressurise and if you oxy tanks start filling up, that's why your ions aren't working properly. I know it says 'none' in the o2 on your hud but the moon may still have a minimal atmo interfering with ions. Also you should have your airlock air vents set to depressurise anyway. If you're going to leave them on pressurise they're basically redundant as the airlocks will be filled with O2 by the main room vent anyway as you enter and exit. You might be right about the spawns being connected to the AI module, splitsie could have changed win conditions for his mod. Also, the outermost gat on the starboard side of you ship wasn't conveyered which is why it was saying 'no ammo'.

[@Beeblebum]

Once I set up the Event controllers I should be able to depressurize when exiting.

[@willgoacher1888]

So fuel is important? Good to know... 😁

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah.. fuel gets more and more important, the emptier the tanks go... 😂

[@lostscotsman]

Base looks really good, it has character. My bases tend to look like Borg Cubes sitting on the planet. If you are going to be building things on that new platform, may I suggest replacing a wall block with a block that has a connector facing out so you can stop running in and out of the building. Something must be amiss with your first little fighter like you mentioned. With your planet not having atmosphere and only .25 gravity your little ion drive fighter should have been fairly zippy to buzz around. Does SE have planets with atmosphere but not breathable? Does SE only have planets with breathable atmosphere and and vacuum? You should have stopped by the wrecks of the two drone fighters you shot down, maybe something there for you to learn.

[@Beeblebum]

There is probably atmosphere, as the win turbines were working (not very scientific, but hey..) So I might be able to use some atmo supporting thrusters. The Assert Drones blow up once the AI block is damaged or run out of power. So there won't be anything to collect.

[@lostscotsman]

@@Beeblebum Did not know that about the drones.

[@CorbinDallas_Doc]

I can't help it, the fighter's name is Thwack

[@everagustin6811]

Nuoooo~ I got at day with the episodes~ 😢 now I will have to wait

[@rafezetter8003]

"Ground Hornet" - not sure on that name as hornets are generally aggressive, the Asian hornet particularly so. Mason Bee's however are also "diggers" that will dig burrows into masonry, bricks etc and they are not aggressive, which I think more befits a mining ship.

[@Beeblebum]

Hmm.. Already named it now... Just gonna need to slap a gun on my miner then.. 😂

[@rafezetter8003]

@@Beeblebum Elton John changed his name - don't see why you're miner cant do tit :)

[@MiggyManMike]

You know if you've got atmo thrusters with the minimal gravity you'd need at more 2 per direction (and possibly none for down) on that fighter.

[@matthewheywood4912]

Atmo thrusters only work in atmosphere, they're useless in a vacuum such as this moon. Just like how Ion thrusters don't work in atmosphere like on the earth-like planet.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, I am every time assuming its no atmosphere on this planet.. while I know there is. Good call on trying atmo's

[@MildFracas]

Fighter name- Snapper

[@Stormcrow_1]

An Event controller and sound block, to tell you when your h2 tank is running out might be helpful. And is it just me, are there only 3 streams of tracers?

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah.. that was what I was realizing after recording this.. put an alarm to warn me.. lol And yep.. I checked later, and one of the guns was placed wrong, so it was not conveyored.

[@bottlecaps2741]

Do you not have atmospheric thrusters?

[@rubikmonat6589]

Yeah that base had a working wind turbine. Atmo thrusters should work.
