Bro you are hard burning these videos out. I played about a year ago and absolutely loved it. I haven't had the time to jump back in, but I hope you enjoy making these as much as I do seeing them. Expanse for life

[@alphamatte4259]

Thanks! This one was actually pretty easy to do

[@mordordevil85]

Ah a man of culture, you see Storm, you go straight for him.

[@alphamatte4259]

I can’t help myself

[@Bajicoy]

Some of the coolest space combat I have seen in any game. Really amazing server

[@alphamatte4259]

I agree!

[@heightenedsensesproduction542]

Dude. Your mod list must be insane. Game looks great, and the combat looks way more lively than most videos you see of SE. Good shit. 😉

[@alphamatte4259]

It’s pretty long, but this game is really boring without mods. Here’s the list: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2873831788

[@heightenedsensesproduction542]

@@alphamatte4259 I 100% agree. Mods make the game have insane longevity and replay value. Thanks for the mod list! I was going to ask. haha I also see you're using the pluginloader "Improved Rendering"? This is only client side then? Or does it also have to be on the server? It looks like you're using the deep space 4k skybox + improved rendering via plugin loader? But the server itself has the space just got real skybox? =)

[@alphamatte4259]

@@heightenedsensesproduction542 yes its client side only - really helps with video quality. Yes I use the deep space 4k. both are client side only.

[@heightenedsensesproduction542]

@@alphamatte4259 Awesome. I will definitely be using the same set up now. It looks super good. Do you use any other pluginloader mods along side these? Or are those your only two? Thanks for all the tips! Big appreciation.

[@alphamatte4259]

@@heightenedsensesproduction542 For video stuff? No really. For general server play there is respawn menu improvements, nexus seamless, and some other stuff.

[@benjaminwiese2994]

Will you make a new player guide to systems like what to do scrap ships and such ? Because your other rock hopper vid was good

[@alphamatte4259]

I made a video about hunting NPCs already Do you mean about how to recycle the scrap?

Love this video, I can't wait till I get to this point

You are probably already there tbh these were very cheap ships

What about battleship pvp? was there ever a big, well put together ship that fought of a fleet of bellters or other foes? Just in case I might wana join and wanted to know how viable it is to do engagements solo

[@alphamatte4259]

Yes there are large cruisers and battleships that if built well enough can take on a few enemies, but in general you won’t be able to take on a “fleet” of players solo. This is not like other SE servers where the biggest brick wins, armor is pretty weak and surviving is more about strategy than brick-ness.

[@thatwormhole1760]

Also I would love it if you made something that looks like a Pella and use it to attack your enemies

[@alphamatte4259]

go check out the Laconia video - they have a Pella ship that is really cool

[@glist119]

In the end of a video he is charging Pella btw

[@thatwormhole1760]

Y’all are in mid season 3 Laconia is just a jupiter faction the admins toasted about more ring gates so in 1 month expect the ring gates to open just make sure that you know its season 3 illus is about to happen so be ready to catch onto that

[@stuartfosse957]

Cool video. What mod do you use for the HUD? Thanks!

Thanks!

[@eliaskell6432]

Love The Expanse and love these videos! What ship are you flying in this video? I built a similar ship based on a reference pic I found online and didn't know if it was canon or not; is there a workshop link for it that I can take a peek at to try and build a vanilla version?

[@alphamatte4259]

This is the Voltaire Collective Enforcer class you can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqHGZmyHZ9yKhMk its based on the Inazami from the show - flown by the Golden Bough

[@eliaskell6432]

@@alphamatte4259 Taki taki! I have the Inazami on my project list but I'm building vanilla for a challenge. I kept seeing concept art for a "belter skiff", the Shikata Ga Nai (love the Kim Stanley Robinson reference), and a "Samar scout destroyer" online that looked vaguely similar to each other that I wanted to try and build out. Love what you guys are doing! 100% subbing and recommending!

i do love the server and so on but getting to even building a single ship is such a pain i dont even know where to go first what to do first even though i watched all of your videos. Could you maybe make a guide how to get a good start on the server if you are all alone?

[@alphamatte4259]

Have you watched this video yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYbRZWaOgLeaZ68

[@DisGuyCayden]

How do you get mars to look that good? You using a public mod?

[@alphamatte4259]

I’m using the “improved rendering” plugin from the plugin loader. Makes everything look WAY better.

how to get that UI? because i dont have it on server

It’s a plugin
