Drone Support Dropship - Space Engineers

[@notaturtle561]

You consistently have the most impressive creations on space engineers. Keep up the great work! I can see these as a real threat in numbers, multiple drop ships would leave no chance for any base!

[@BlackArmor718]

I appreciate that! Yeah I love quantity over quality tactics.

[@deadaces7949]

I was like 'this is a bit dramatic for a drone ship'. Then I saw the drones land, transform and start walking, and now I'm 'holy shit, its 2020 and I still cant make stuff as cool as that!'

[@gammothguy297]

That might be the most genius thing I’ve seen in SE yet. The way you have them stand up after landing is something I would never have thought of to be honest.

[@BlackArmor718]

It just happened to work out

[@joetonyf]

you know it would be totally possible to make those walkers more advanced. you could get a scripts that will control gyros to make it face whatever way the turret is aiming using an RC block so that way it stays aligned to gravity. When the drone doesnt have a target, it would wander randomly if you left the turret idle enabled.

Deadly from the air deadly on the ground awesome

[@boboseklo760]

I really like the ship design and the spider mechs are so sleek, love your work man

[@Wholy]

are you responsible *of the automatons* attack? 😁

[@andrewwalton6236]

the carrier is cool but I love the walker drones. The 4 of them marching in was a really nice cinematic.

[@BlackArmor718]

Thanks Andrew

[@ClimberD-tn3xl]

WOW!! Those lil crab drones are so cool!!

[@adrockpoile3887]

Just got the game yesterday. Now I know where to get my ground troops. Thank you

Wowee thanks dude

If your speechless how are you coming up with all that

[@Bingbongbag]

Oh my goodness, my dream drone force.

[@Gebunator]

Holy smoly, this is one awesome ship and despite looking fragile, the sheer numbers of those little drones marching in formation like that gonna pose a challenge. Could be interesting foe in PvE. Pity pirate Ai scripts might not handle these dropship type of deals

[@BlackArmor718]

If anything they are cannon fodder while you wipe the defenses.

[@Atsptvy3]

These walkers probably will destroy enemies but if they know about you dropping the walkers at their base, your walkers are probably screwed.

[@antigravity3682]

Its... perfect! And it is even in my fleet colour

[@Tinygreysamurai]

The bots are too cute. No one would fight them.

[@FlyingObject1]

Bots will laugh because of gun so beware

[@Gottaculat]

Damn, dude, that's some sick stop animation!

[@zackolsen]

Wow that’s impressive. It makes me want to build something similar, but with drones with grinders that can be reclaimed after use.

[@anonymoususer3561]

This looks like two F-302 welded together

[@freefiremclin9379]

Thank you. You are my hero for doing this

[@flowerlord0]

Why in the world did it take 3 years for me to find this amazing design?

[@FlyingObject1]

When your army is low then a person gives you and infinite source of drones and supplies

[@TotalTirpitz]

When our (merciful) robot overlords arrive. It will be people like you that made it possible. You beautiful monster! 😀

[@fissilepear7805]

I’ve failed to find any workshop item that incorporated drones as well as this one has

[@Aberrant17]

Absolutely wonderful. I love it.

[@kinngrimm]

While i would not claim to be able to build such a thing of beauty at this time, there is one thing missing for my taste. I have seen on several videos the welding systems used to replenish warheads and drones which in my mind made sense. So either the welding system directly combined with the carrier or to stick with general design here, a base replenishment sytem welding up new drones while the carrier is carrying the current batch to the frontline. Then the drone being put in place so the carrier could come back and automaticly collect them.

[@BlackArmor718]

You are exponentially increasing the complexity if this by having it be replenishable. It can be done but you'd have to manually print and attach each component of each drone and then position and attach them all to the carrier. With each drone having 8 subgrids, that's a helluva lot of welding and attaching

[@kinngrimm]

@@BlackArmor718 for arguments sake, for attacking an enemy base i need a steady stream of drones, would there be an altenrative? i suppose one could print the everything out of one piece, then grind away some holding blocks and send a newly printed carrier and its done on its marry way. When the drones then are going to die you suicide the carrier or even outfit it from the start with decoys and send it ahead of the drones so the enemy defenses first target the carrier while the drones could do their work from the second row. Mean while one prints the whole thing all over again instead of replenshing just the drones. Aslong ressources are not an issue that could be less of a hustle i guess. The replenshing drone option would be the style bonus which but in an PVP situation as you hinted to, would be not really suitable.

[@BlackArmor718]

@@kinngrimm That a good idea with printing it all as one piece with designated break points to be reattached later. It would make assembly easier

AWESOME WORK!!!! AS ALWAYS!!! Also, first to visit and comment on how great this video is!

[@BlackArmor718]

Thanks! Hope they don't notice I reused the Dragonfly song..

[@valdemarsimonsen9612]

Late comment but at first I totally thought that you modeled it after the dropship from one of the Lego Mars Mission sets from way back

[@bobbyson1409]

Can you make this for xbox or how do you make it

[@collindeden5990]

That ship looks exactly like the human drop ships from Lego battles game!

[@R1po]

I'd have used wheels at the end of their legs. But nevertheless, it's a genius design.

[@333_studios]

What are those ball things you’re dropping at 2:07 ? Are those decoys?

[@BlackArmor718]

Aye decoys

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

Try this with flying drones would be cool to see how well this could be use to support a fleet in atmo fight

[@gamepad3173]

Imagine having a fleet of those drop ships but automated (and going against the Space pirates). those pirates would be shitting themselves.

[@BlackArmor718]

my pc might actually handle that one now

[@gamepad3173]

@@BlackArmor718 but also imagine fleets of armored trucks charging at the pirate basses,and fighter drones taking on their fighters plus Capital ships on the planets and in space.

[@PenolAkushari]

Reminds me of those air transports from Supreme Commander for some reason.

[@BlackArmor718]

That is the ideal shape when you want to drop/carry a lot of stuff

[@noblereign492]

This is freaking sweet!!!!!

[@citizen_of_the_stars5144]

Love this design but it really needs a whole lot of decoy cover because if you just throw the drones within range of the défense turrets tey are just going to be blowed up instantly

[@BlackArmor718]

The idea is to drop them outside of range and then have them walk into it.

[@citizen_of_the_stars5144]

BlackArmor Is but if the base is protected enough they are gonna be instant blow up don’t you think?

[@BlackArmor718]

Maybe but then it isn't shooting at you while you attack with something else.

[@unacceptableminority7101]

By the way you fly your ships it makes me think your a real pilot. Great job on your creations btw.

[@BlackArmor718]

I'd have thought my avatar was more of a giveaway, but i'll take it! MH-60 Knighthawk

[@BlackArmor718]

That would be correct

[@Zerovanii_]

Should i be amazed or terrified? Also, do the walkers only move in a straight line or do they auto track and approach structures/enemies?

[@BlackArmor718]

Straight line. Made to be expendable and to overwhelm

[@thisismynameucannottakemyn5859]

[@tharpinup7861]

If this is on the workshop, I'd be disappointed. One of those very unique to the creator type designs.

[@BlackArmor718]

So you're saying I shouldn't share it?

[@tharpinup7861]

Yes, only because you players either build like you or they just use all workshop BP's and can only minecraft box house build for themselves. I guess I get annoyed seeing a beautiful creation flown by someone who doesnt give it the proper respect of the time and OCD it takes for that level of symmetry and function. I subbed to it, but I wont be playing it in survival. I just wanted to see how your functional blocks are set up, as well as any subgrids, etc.

[@tharpinup7861]

Because I'm currently using your mech tutorial. Trying to get in your head so I can just do it. Rotor limits are my bane. Always going the opposite way from what I need cuz of the 0 angle, gotta work myself out of that habit

[@tharpinup7861]

Like I know this will go clockwise... everyone is saying it should. *goes counter clockwise and spins my ship into oblivion.* started using 1. Last thing I gotta learn is piecing the subgrids together slowly with a crane in survival. Or a bot

[@tharpinup7861]

Long story short. Yes, because you would see more creative builds if not for the copy-pastineerrs
