I have a Name for this ship……What you think about chubby? 😜😬😎😂 And by the way…..Merry Christmas!!

[@zamba136]

This is why i use large ore detectors, even on my small drill ships. The large ore detector is much longer range, and even it will miss the ores in some astroids. Most clusters of astroids have 2 ores in them

[@k98killer]

Anyone else see "/gsp" and think "oh no"?

[@TTDEATHTT]

I did and i was hoping Skye would notice. then i saw the chat when he did cobalt and noticed he did it twice. 11min apart.

[@thedillon25100]

only thing id say sky is dont fully trust in the ore detector, its finnicky if it works and detects the ore in range, i run a mod to up it to 500 meters on small ships purely because it dont work that well at detecting anything past 40-45 meter.

[@Aeonsoulful]

I love it at 20:35 he goes to put in gps and ends up inputting gsp and then moves one vey nice ;)

[@ccanozz]

Well, you asked what we would like (dangerous thing tbh 😃) I never played SE before, so anything you do is a discovery to me. For ex. building that spaceship and using it was insanely interesting. I am pretty sure people like me, who are discovering the game through you would probably enjoy to see whatever else you can do in this game; be it new tech, new places or new inventions of yours. Anyways, whatever you do, it will be entertaining so in the end it doesnt matter that much. Cheers.

[@cmilkau]

Asteroid avoidance cluster test successful! (in a real emergency: maybe use the bottom thrusters for deflection. turning the "ground" below you is a good reflex for a pilot to have)

[@andyman286]

PULL UP! PULL UP! God damn it!

[@pieair]

Daily positive comment Damn, looking back at this series at this point already, you've done so much and yet there will be so much more. Love for you and your creative mind Skye. Also remember to pet Picture 😊

[@HeruKane]

A base within the swiss cheese asteroid sounds really fun! Also cool ship design, nice combination of function and aesthetics. So thumbs up on that. Love this series! So much fun. Thanks for playing it and I look forward to seeing more of this series.

[@chadp6307]

Yes, you can wobble around to make the hole larger so your ship will fit inside. That works for the entrance, but as you drill deeper, you'll have less room to wobble without smacking your ship on the wall and possibly breaking something. Those that commented about more drills were talking about drilling large enough from the start to eliminate the need to wobble around and possibly break something. Your "bad luck" of not finding ore deposits on the first few asteroids is the game giving you some karma for that awesome starting point for your base. Next goal.. re-design your ship with a survival kit so you have a respawn point not all the way back down on the planet. Head towards that trading station and build an asteroid outpost nearby so you have the infrastructure to take on contracts for components as well. Build up your wealth so you can afford to buy that ship you want. Have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

[@SkyeStorme]

My ship HAS a survival kit :p

[@chadp6307]

@@SkyeStorme My apologies, I apparently missed that detail during the build, and as you gave us a visual around it I still failed to see it.

[@zachd1320]

16:10 Instead of turning off dampeners to move forward, I typically create a group for my “Backwards” thrusters that act as the brakes and put them in the hot bar where I can turn them on and off. When I’m ready to move forward, I turn the block group off, disengaging my brakes - then when I’m ready to stop, I turn the block group back on, engaging my brakes. This means that all other thrusters are still on, allowing you to maneuver while maintaining your forward momentum. It’s also a great way to navigate in atmospheres as it saves a ton of fuel while allowing you to cover a lot of ground since your reverse thrusters aren’t actively working against you.

[@books1798]

Merry Christmas, Skye & Picture!!! Thank you both for tons of joy in my days!

Merry Christmas Skye and Picture and a Happy New Year 🥳

[@GDMonty1029]

Merry Christmas Skye and Picture, and thank you for all of the entertainment this year!

[@Andrew.W712]

I think working on Shaggerdeep base to get a few docks up before you purchase the ships. And then it might be worth making a Zero-Gravity base as a stop gap. Because hydrogen is strong, but you have a whole bunch of weight inside you that you're not processing, so your first landing might be exciting. Merry Christmas, Skye and Picture!

[@hanzzel6086]

Especially if he forgets to/can't top up his hydrogen before he starts descending and runs our midway. If he manages that, I imagine he'll take the advice of some of the comments from the previous video and put some "emergency use only" atmospheric thrusters on the bottom!

[@OKTKaikora]

Love this series, its got me back into Space Engineers. Really enjoy the base building, and now you got into space. Fantastic. Keep it up, Merry Christmas and enjoy!

[@FanfictionEnjoyer]

The reason why you need more drills is because you might forget to widen the hole. Like a cat putting their head into something because their whiskers say it's wide enough, then they shift slightly while in the hole and suddenly can't get out anymore. The point of the drills is to ensure you Always have an exit because you can Make your own exit. You could even go so far as to say put backward facing drills on the corners of the back end of your ship so you can widen your entry path on the way out.

[@FlipSideOrbit]

even though im only on episode 2 of this series, i thought i would jump ahead for a few seconds to share some love and tell you that this is the only Vanilla Survival series that i haven't got board off. will you consider opening a Space Engineers server to allow more community engagement. this could allow you to do base/build tours

[@carpemkarzi]

GOOD LORD! Paint that ship yellow. It looks like Thunderbird 4.

[@laughingcloud3516]

Hey Skye Nice ship, better than any I made early on that's for sure. Just a bit of a warning (because I'm not sure if you read my previous comment about it) but, if you build a base in a place that has low/freezing temps or low/no O2 you have to know that voxels are NOT airtight in Space Engineers so if you embed your base in a mountain or asteroid you will have to make sure there are no gaps in the blocks so you can pressurize it.

[@davidwhite3337]

[@Da6moose6]

I think before going to the station it would be nice to see a little more completion with shaggerdeep base. I know it will always be a work in progress. But I think getting a lot of things finished like the hangers and the overhang on the entrance would give a nice feeling of completion there for us to then venture off into creating a base in space or the trek to the space station. This all being said if you’re venturing off because of boredom or a creative block with working on that stuff I understand.

[@Steve_With_a_D]

I always have grand ideas of what my ships will look like and at the end, it is always a brick with not enough thrusters to haul a full load.

[@capdyn735]

I highly recommend using the thruster calculator or doing the calculation yourself to make sure you have enough thrust. Don't forget to account for your cockpit, drills, H2/O2 Generator and other things having storage too! You can find the volume & weight of all components and ores and stuff on the wiki.

[@groggjoggarn]

Merry Christmas to the both of you! Good luck with Operation Eggnog!

[@WSJeffery]

Desr Skye, I can't wait until this ship is the tiny ship that docs in the huge mothership that will clearly come later. Merry Christmas

[@patrickbentz7775]

A space station. You could build it on the closest asteroid, dig it out until it's gone and then you have a space staion in orbit. That would be a cool thing to see you build.

[@BWiSmith]

Sky that ship looks fantastic, love the design and the effort you put into it. I also can wait for your inevitable space station or asteroid fortress. Your detailing on the base entrance was also great. Have a great holiday with your family!

[@SkyeStorme]

You too! :)

[@donebydaan1]

Merry Christmas Picture and Skye!

[@renecaminada5867]

What an improvement! Ship is looking GOOD. Have seeing a dude in SE using an automatic welding devise. Should be fun to see your base build up.

Oh your videos are so great Skye!

[@roguemajin46290]

so the trusters do 2 block range for dmg so u can hide them behind blocks as long as they have that empty cavity to burn in small is 1x2 large are like plus signs so u can do corners of them

[@arvy666]

merry christmas to both of you and thanks a lot for all the content! I always have to wait for my girlfriend to be home to watch your videos... she is usually not interested in the game itself... it's your voice and jokes... you are basically part of the family :)

[@jtcressy1]

some small suggestions on the ship, no scripts or mods for this but I would put an event controller block somewhere on the ship and make it your "docking controller", have it triggered by the connected event on your main connector, and on connect (left hotbars) set tanks to stockpile, turn off thrusters, set batteries to recharge, etc. and then on disconnect do the opposite. stockpile off, thrusters on, batteries to auto. This opens up room on your cockpit hotbar and prevents you from accidentally crashing your ship into the ground by accidentally pressing P lolol also I think you might like floodlights (on small grid) more than the base spotlights, which should do a much better job of lighting up your drills

[@MortusEclipse01]

Been watching a while, looking good. As for your plans to buy a TT-420, no shame in that. Large Grid ships are a lot of resources and I still buy my first large grid ship. The TT-420 is a really good base for a hauling ship, and prefect for new players as it does not generally require hydrogen to fly as it has Atmo thrusters in all meaningful directions. With more experience though I find the TT-420 design fundamentally limits it to a hauler role only. I have come to buy and modify a B-980 as my starting large grid ship, as the Stern Connector is purfect for carrying some form of small utility ship (Miner, Grinder/Welder, Etc.). Ultimately adding features of the TT-420 like sideways Atmo Thruster and the Bow Airlock. Then Adding 4 more upward Hydrogen Thrusters, a full Assembler and two Basic Refineries. Finally taking care of my biggest issue with both the TT-420 and B-980, the lack of access to the ship from the ground if you don't have access to your jetpack, by adding ladders to either side of the Stern Connector. I do a bit of interior work to, but just some ideas.

[@1975_Ràin]

Merry Xmas Skye hope you have a great one and a Moon Station might be a great Second Base

[@TXPhoenix79]

I recommend putting an Entry GPS location above your base right when gravity zeroes out.

[@TheovanLieshout]

Idea for the next big thing: an asteroid eating and processing ship. So massive that it can take most rocks, chew them up and poop out the useless bits 🙂

[@firiedemon]

Fantastic looking ship, look forward to you making your own space base for ion thruster ships

[@robertbarton4776]

I find it much less stressful, to do ship design, on a separate ‘creative mode’ world and saving to blueprints. Mirror image, for ship symmetry, and ‘left trigger hold’, for multiple block placement, mean you can concentrate more on design

[@capdyn735]

Have a great Christmas Skye & Picture! It'd be great to see you set up a bit of ore processing on an asteroid directly above Shagger Deep, it'll save you carrying all the extra mass of unrefined ores back down to earth. It also gives you a point to change over from a ground to space cargo hauler into a space miner.

[@Justaguyisthatok]

Great series. How about building a space port? In between the space station and your base? Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New year's 🎄🎅🏻🎄

[@Wildtails1]

After you started this playthrough I used it as a guide on how to play the game, and I really felt it when you said you spent 13 hours on the ship, I built 3 ugly ships getting larger each time trying to make one you could walk around inside and they took me 43 hours to do 😆 was never happy with them, should have gone to space then built them and would have had to spend less time setting up thrusters 😅

[@tristanlifshitz7368]

im from the future. this is the best video yet!

[@Makro3d]

So what I take away from this video is that this ship is still too small for serious space exploration and mining operations. But, might be an excellent size for earth-like mining. The views from space are fantastic btw. Also, enjoy Christmas!

[@fredpryde8555]

the indicators on bottom and sides you could put bullet proof glass over them to protect the hydro tanks etc you can still see them as well maybe build a small outpost where the ice was for refueling

[@Gochen86]

Wonderful trip into space. As for what next, I say hit the RLSB station. No sense in having just a short jaunt into space when we've been planetside for the last 23 episodes. You could get at least two more episodes out before returning to SHAGGER DEEP.

[@jros4057]

Whats the deal with the ore detector? I've watched other play throughs where the detection range was far enough out you can identify deposits under the surface. Here it looks like you almost need to be nearly touching it.

[@unclegreybeard3969]

The small grid ore detector has about the same crappy range as the hand drill (50mtr), the large grid goes at least 3x as far.

[@jpzx10]

Dear Mr. Misatile, keep building base and get the 420 ship. Get base pretty much done. Like lay out. Then go explore and decorate base with things you find on your adventures. Not even sure if that would work but..🤷‍♂️

[@BlindGargoil]

Yay for docking-cam!!!

[@drunkguy_6639]

makes me happy to watch you play

[@merlinmagnus873]

Drinking game: Take a drink every time Skye calls them "dampeners" instead of "dampers". To be fair, when you burn hydrogen, the byproduct is water so. . . .

[@LordKalnor]

Merry Christmas!! as a space engineer novice i would love to see the space station and what ships you can buy.

[@ericwemmer402]

After collecting the ice I am worried about the output of the O2/H2 gen vs the use of all your thrusters. Keep up the fun series.

[@GregNTech]

Great video. I would recommend turning off some of your GPS markers to clear up your HUD.

[@nightgod8151]

No No No No. My food ain't done yet. Im not ready. Stop the world. Take it down and upload in 15min 😂

[@SkyeStorme]

lol ;)

[@Wildtails1]

The small grid detector only has the same range as your hand held one, I'm not sure if it's possible on a small grid ship but the large grid one has a range of 150 meters, still small but much more useful

[@isotobex5703]

If you use a gravel sifter on the base you`ll get small amounts of uranium as it sifts the gravel (and loads of other minerals)

[@cmilkau]

may want a large grid oredetector for this, but it is a pain to integrate

[@fpoddball]

@SkyeStorme you should build a small capital ship. One that has a small hanger for your space faring miner.

[@jjrickards]

Remember to turn off the hydrogen generator when you don't need it running or it'll eat all your fuel.

[@cmilkau]

if you make a wider hole by turning, and your ship is longer than wide, you will need the tunnel even wider so you can turn inside it, which means you need to turn even more. In the end you will probably have to turn it almost 90 degrees but it it's entirely doable.

[@Layer12Gamer]

Your are amazing. The ship looks amazing

[@wwjb317]

Turn ur antenna signal up as it work with ore detector if only set to 50m it only pick up signals with in 50m so max it out to find ore faster

[@Tonydoore]

Would love to see an orbital base maybe off of the Swiss cheese with a view to docking a huge ship in the future :-)

[@k98killer]

I would love to see the space station, but I am in no hurry, and perhaps returning to the base to process the platinum ore would be prudent. At any rate, enjoy your Christmas celebrations, Skye. To get to the space station, it would probably be helpful to figure out the approximate acceleration of the ship to calculate a reasonable speed and timetable for acceleration and deceleration. At 100 m/s, it would take nearly 7 hours to arrive; at 1 km/s, it will take 42 minutes; at 10 km/s, it will take about 4 minutes, but adequate time will be needed for acceleration and deceleration, so having a timetable ahead of the journey will be very helpful for not colliding with anything. In the interest of caution, and informed by my extensive experience with Kerbal Space Program (i.e. accidental high speed collisions in orbit), I would plan to decelerate to 1/10th the maximum velocity by the time I reached 10 km from the station in case any evasive maneuvers are required.

[@capdyn735]

Unfortunately the game is capped to 100m/s. There are mods to remove it but he's said this will be a vanilla playthrough. To go those long distances you're either going to be a long haul trucker or you need a jump drive.

[@k98killer]

@@capdyn735 Oh wow. I had no idea. It has been years since the last time I tried playing Space Engineers. KSP was always my aerospace engineering game of choice.

[@capdyn735]

@@k98killer KSP is good, I played a couple hundred hours back in the day :) Thankfully space engineers 2 is gonna have at least a speed limit of 300m/s. It would be nice if they uncapped the speed though, even if just for travelling through empty space.

[@donwidman8923]

Amazing ship. I went to space with a large grid and the hydrogen consumption rate was unreal. I almost rage quit when I went to space because the small grid ore detector is completely useless and my large grid ship was too expensive to move.

[@takumi2023]

I would suggest a space station to hold ore. That way youre not holding all ore in your inventory (ship included). The problem is you dont have iron or assembler to make the components you need. Also shagger base isnt finished. 😂

What if you have a small docking station in orbit and you create a interplanetary ship and use another just as a planetary transport. So you can prioritize thrust and carrying capacity separately?

[@arnarerlingsson6440]

[@targetdreamer257]

I know you are flying to space but since you enjoy building massive builds do you think you could build a Space Elevator. Like a central pillar (or couple of pillars) and use that to climb into space instead of flying? I have seen some that use pistons and merge blocks or landing gear, something like that. A different one use wheels and batteries>

[@MlM2304]

Hey skye I know this is out of topic but love your timberborn series so if you can continue it it would be awesome But this is the real deal I don’t have timberborn yet but I want to learn the water mechanics of the game like magic tiles, compressing water and how to calculate if something like a dam will flood if you could make a in depth video explaining these topics or point to a video that already does that would be very helpful. I’m going to explain what I already know please correct me if I’m wrong. Let’s start with magic tiles do they work like a max thing or like max flow rate cap if it is then let’s say there is a 1 wide 1 deep Channel with no magic tiles the max flowrate that you can pump through the channel is 2.2 cms because you said that’s the downstream max flow per edge tile technically you can pump more water but it will flood. But let’s add a magic tile, for clarity this is what the channel cross-section looks like, it looks like a U shape, it’s 3 tiles wide the ends are 2 tiles tall and center is 1 tile high this is the first channel now lets add 1 tile at the end now we have 3 edges so 2.2 x 3 ‎ = 6.6 Cms max flow now here comes the part I don’t get, what if we keep adding tiles with 2 tiles extra we get 5 edge tiles so 2.2 x 5 ‎ = 11cms but if we keep adding tiles is it possible to get infinite max flow rate? We could also extend the tiles to an arrow shape and get even more cms. Let’s set those questions aside for now and let’s make the channel deeper a 1 wide 2 deep channel with no magic tiles the max flow for 1 edge tile is 2.2cms we only have 1edge so it should be the same right? Well no if it’s greater than 2.2cms it will flood 1 tile but because we have 2 tiles of flooding it should be double capacity so 2.2 x 2 ‎ = 4.4cms max flow rate this is the math I think is right but please correct me if I’m wrong. Now let’s have a 2 wide 1 deep channel so now magic tiles 2.2 x 2 ‎ = 4.4cms max so now add 2 magic tiles now we have 4edges so 4x2.2 ‎ = 8.8cms now we have same problem keep adding tiles you get infinite max flow rate but now let’s take out tiles from the channel so 1 tile out gives us still 8.8 cms max and still same problem of infinite max flow rate. This is the math I think is right I know this comment is long but this is not even taking into account the math of compressing the water and calculating if a dam will flood I saw in your mountain range series that you said the dam on the side of the gigadam would flood by the flow rate and you said 1/3 of a tile times 7 dams is 2.3 tiles of area for the water to flood but how did you calculate that was not enough. I will end my comment here. @skyestorm

[@No1sonuk]
