Space Engineers - Base assault with even more drop pods

[@korsoh7328]

Assault Steps: -Positon ship right above base -Launch cluster pod missile -Destroy aerial defenses -Destroy base's turrets -Land infantry safely -Force/Breach base's door -Get blasted out of existance by the interior mounted railgun turret

I'd love to watch a full length assault match where you and a friend face off the base defense madness vs. Stuff like this.

[@jakethesnake2655]

Lol i posted same thing in his pic. On a 15km map capture the flag or something like that

[@essex3777]

Some tweaks I'd make would be swapping a fourth of those decoys for dummy warhead bombs just for general mayhem and panic. Then convert on gun dropped into a proper transport pod so I can be on the ground.

[@talongrey7492]

I agree

[@crovosfizion6440]

Now lets see a practical exercise from orbit, hit and run, and a assault. Keep up the amazing work...your research is valuable.

[@VainerCactus0]

Nice! great use of different deployment styles to implement a combined arms siege. The editing for the different POVs was good too.

[@kirknay]

the one thing to improve would be to add a pod or two with survival kits and cargo containers full of rifles and ammo.

[@alicorn3924]

@@kirknay and some heavy armed Androids for good measure I've never played this game so idk if that's possible lel

[@kirknay]

@@alicorn3924 closest you will get are players in a seat in the center of the pod. The survival kits are basically respawn points, so you can just send a half dozen players with this storm, and not have to worry about running out of troops as long as the kits have power.

[@rodent5431]

Prime example of "They can't stop all of us"

[@Wizard_Pepsi]

Imagine drop pods mounted to 'Rods from God' that separate in a similar fashion to what is shown here. The Rod from God would be effective in both distraction and clearing the immediate area of threats whilst the drop pods make a controlled descent, landing right as the dust settles.

[@Icebadger]

Love the use of the parachutes to act as a flak wall for the drop pods

[@RC-Sev]

Absolutely love the AA counter Missile that splits off decoys! Gonna have to try and make one myself!

[@BuilderB08]

One of the drop pods smashed into the defense platform, I guess that’s one way to destroy it

[@garablacktail5426]

IIRC, wheels are pretty good at absorbing impact damage in this game So a couple of half built wheels that are expected to be destroyed might improve reliability and reduce damage on the important bits of the pod

[@baba226]

The whole point of these pods is that they break voxel on impact, making cover if deep enough while providing an anchor point

[@Burger19985]

the bottom bits are look like its just light armor blocks meant to drive into the ground

[@erridkforname]

Make a drop pod that if it lands (cough cough impact the ground) it releases 10 drones with railguns on them

[@ProperDaveXD001]

Multiple small targets mean the rocket launchers waste their ammo without necessarily hitting anything, just because they are the nearest target. Clever!

That idea of floating sexurity platforms is really good...

Wowowow! I love this kind of content! This is what kinda content I’ve been looking for lol. Cool shit like this! Video was awesome. I’d love to see a full battle like this. shit, maybe even breach/invade a huge ass ship like the 40k universe boarding torpedo. Just suggesting. Overall, awesome video and keep up the great work.

[@Daddy_Damo]

These drop pods are actually derived from a "boarding missile" I developed a while back, might make a video on that at some point

[@noahbluecoat]

It really satisfying to watch.

[@dorenzahid5244]

Ngl i feel like that giant missile looking thing that launched all the drop pods at 0:33 should be like a high explosive torpedo when it hits the ground

@@themidnightbanshee5927 lot of set up for expendable grids, there are cases where things like that make sense, like drones, tanks and guided torpedoes, and sometimes it'd be worth it to auto link the sub grids, but here the whole point is spam and you may not want to put enough ammo for a custom turret to really be worth it.
