Drop pods from helldivers are actually very doable... A little well placed gravity generators... A nice rotor with small head so you can plug a small cryo chamber... A nice will placed parachute if you like. If you are not a parachute guy, use gyro plus hydros for fall control

[@patrikhjorth3291]

I was thinking along those lines too. It wouldn't be possible to make drop pods exactly to scale, which means that you couldn't replicate the drop mechanism exactly, but it should be possible to make a fully functional drop system. You could have the launcher automatically weld the next pod after one has been launched, and a conveyor system fill up the hydrogen tanks etc. Taking a cue from Starship Trooper, I'd have the system launch a decoy pod along with each crewed pod, but maybe that's above and beyond...

[@darkshado124]

Dont forget Inertia Dampers!

[@sigurdrr1015]

@darkshado124 farftom me to be so careless and not be on purpose.

[@Delta_rocket]

what about upward thrusters to slow the drop, even just for show like in the game

[@sigurdrr1015]

@Delta_rocket can be done. But there is virtue in doing a very "expendable" drop pod. That you can print and drop at will on minimal cost. Altho even a "reusable" version would be just as doable.

[@ALPHABARLOG]

Missed opportunity to use 'Cup of Liber-Tea' in introduction.

[@patrikhjorth3291]

"...a very standard-looking SciFi ship..." That's the thing about any kind of genre worldbuilding, it's mostly about stacking tropes on one another. The difference between _good_ and _bad_ genre media is how well those tropes are stacked. The worldbuilding of Helldivers owes so _very_ much to Starship Troopers, as do a lot of other games. It is a very nice stack of tropes, though.

[@TronTuborg]

I would say, if you can stack the same tropes and be recognisable as an individual, it is Good.

[@raven75257]

Tropes are tropes for a reason. Because they work. Too many people are obsessed with innovation, to their own detriment

[@indyjacob4597]

i don't think it's literally 1:1 the numbers of ships you see over an area, but it's true that if you're over a planet, the quantity and density of ships increases the more players are over or on the same planet

[@IngeniousNinja]

Yeah its absolutely not 1:1, but ships in orbit (when in orbit and on the ground) and strategem call ins DO scale with player density for planets and operations/regions on the planet!

[@karlthorsten9118]

This is just the DESTROYER, mind you. There's rumoured plans that they're going to design Frigates, Cruisers, maybe even heavy Battleships or Carriers as well. If this trend keeps up, maybe we'll be able to play larger teams, or TWO teams, on the same planets, maybe even get space battles. Personally - I love the CONCEPTUAL ideas here, but maybe only some of it is added to Helldivers 2, and a more complex take on what I just wrote is used to make a Helldivers RTS game. Base building, fleets above planets, able to invade planets, build up more bases... a little bit Empire At War and Command and Conquer based, so we can rotate buildings and such to design the ideal base and maybe planet-based shipyards to build the lighter ships, and orbital shipyards for Cruisers and above. Either way, I have high hopes for the Helldivers franchise. I have none left for Star Wars right now, so Helldivers is starting to become my go-to dopamine hit. As for the ships you can see in Helldivers, you're correct, people are correct. Each ship represents a player. Ships can be solo, or grouped up to 4, you can tell as the ships are clustered together facing the same way, which means several regions on planets can have up to 100 ships up in the sky, most of which you can see from the command bridge. It's a way for the game to show just how many players are actually playing the game, and in that region of any given planet. It adds loads to immersion, I love it.

[@chloekaftan]

i want to see the future ships add augments to our existing stratagems, like a cruiser that has superior railgun orbital strikes, or a battleship with superior orbital bombardments, or a carrier with superior airstrikes, or a frigate with superior missile support, etc. we also know that the automatons will be having ships in the near future as well and if they're having ships, you bet the illuminates will likely get ships too. we would likely need more advanced ships to hold them off or buy more time for us to maintain stratagem support in missions.

[@SneedRemembrancer]

Helldivers at war A helldivers empire at war would be sick

[@Collywood-Studios]

If they made a RTS, I would love if they made it like carrier command 2 in a way. You can play it purely as an RTS, or you can take control of a few people and control them personally instead of the AI doing the work.

[@BisexualPlagueDoctor]

Having a mission where you raid an automaton carrier with support from your own teams destroyers and a frigate

[@somedude4087]

**Carrier has arrived.**

[@cvt0072]

This ship blows my attempt out of the water, but its given me some ideas of how I can improve mine.

[@HP-ws2vx]

Chadly take. You got this

[@ChadZLumenarcus]

It really seems like Helldivers 2 can be achieved in Space Engineers.

[@sowiwiody3681]

A throwable beacon to call in airsupport from another player or AI? Yes please!

[@danielbeck2739]

That bit about the ships belonging to other players, that's actually true. If you're in a fireteam, each team member's ship is near yours as a small flotilla. Sometimes they are spaced further apart, or in another section of the sky, but the vast majority of the ships you see do belong to other players and fireteams.

[@zachn5529]

Space engineers needs more npc mods. Helldivers as a concept would be awesome to play in this game.

[@wojtekmedia237]

Play never surrender? Frostbite?

[@ronwatford7331]

​@wojtekmedia237 both involving drones. Drones, drones, and more drones. Even the Reavers mod is just drones on steroids. Other NPCs make a world feel "lived in".

[@michaelmorrigan614]

If you look closely at the hanger floor underneath the eagle you can tell it opens up and the eagle enters/exits from there, also super destroyers have 15inch(380mm) battleship guns underneath the bridge, but this was a very good build nonetheless

[@generaljedi8691]

If you're interested in some more accurate models I'd keep checking the workshop. I have one out now (while not as pretty, it is a bit more accurate to the game) and new ones have been steadily coming out as well.

[@penguinhacker]

Do a big event using orbtial strikes and players shooting the bugs on Pertan!

[@captainhellhound2146]

what i love most is if you are on a mission you can see other player strategems when they are on a different mission

[@George_M_]

I love that the guns arent disproportionately large or numerous, and the design is 100% focused on launching troops and bombardment. No landing, no space to space weapons or defenses.

[@Apoc2K]

I really like the design, because it is exactly what I imagine a standardised, mass produced space ship would look like. You're not flying a one-of-a-kind cutting edge design, you're flying the workhorse of Super Earth, a jack of all trades destroyer, fielded by the dozens and considered fully disposable. Super Earth must be stomping these out by the hundreds.

[@chemicaldruid4591]

I have to (super earth) salute the effort made to be faithful to the source material while also fitting it to space engineers gameplay. I can totally picture using this for a playtrough with friends. The blast door compartimenting of the ship is very nice. Pressurisation not being a thing in the game since its just a hub, having this hidden in the layout is really well done.

[@kerbalairforce8802]

Use the cryopod model for the drop pod with an event controller to arrest your falling speed to

[@nova8747]

Just a slight correction, the Pelican is the VTOL craft that pics you up at the end of missions. The Strike Eagle is essentially a Sci-Fi A-10 Warthog.

[@JTelli786]

“It’s so beautiful yet so simple” best words to describe it as! I love it!

[@LordZahradnik]

it'd probably be either infeasible or too bulky, but the jolt cannon could be used to give the drop pods the high-speed launch effect.

[@scout_troop3r]

I've been spending HOURS on trying to design some viable pods, and yeah I had a look at many ships earlier and the only one that had some sort of pod was one my friend made. It is very tricky but I WILL get it eventually. I've also been testing a horizontal chain mechanism like in the game so that the pods aren't just welded where they're launched from because that'd be unsightly. I have had good progress on both, and hopefully by using small and large grid in harmony can make a proper decent attempt at the super destroyer.

[@scout_troop3r]

Small update I think I've nailed the pods and I am extremely happy with them. They're only 5x5 with the seat elevator, door, launch thrusters, stopping thrusters, parachutes, and even some space inside for detailing.

[@jacobrose-janes9750]

I have been waiting for this video, someone to cover this ship in Space Engineers, thank you for providing sir.

[@Alex-mn5rs]

I knew someone would make one pretty quick. My personal destroyer is called the SES Spear of Destiny, still the best name I've seen for a ship (though I've seen one or two funny ones like the "Fist of Family Values")

[@hoshyro]

Nothing will beat Roanoke's S.E.S. Patriot of Pastriotism in the list of funniest ship names Personally, I named mine S.E.S. Sentinel of Eternity because I couldn't renounce an epic name such as that

[@TotallyNotAlan]

mine is named the SES Leviathan of Wrath. it paints an excellent mental image.

[@the_jam_man]

I named mine the "S.E.S Hammer of Gold". I thought it sounded pretty cool

[@George_M_]

Ombudsman of Family Values was the worst I could come up with.

[@xentriq9448]

Absolutely can incorporate them into this build. would need to enlarge it a bit just scale it up a little.

[@ethanr3480]

That’s funny, my ship is also named the herald of wrath

[@lonelystrategos]

Mine is the 'Elected Representative of Family Values'.

[@softwhite6290]

mine is "lady of audacity" So basically a karen 💀💀💀💀

[@kadenthepilotz6192]

LMAO@@softwhite6290

[@kadenthepilotz6192]

Mine is simply called Star of Twilight. Which fits since I usually have Star in my username.

[@lanchester101]

I named my Destroyer 'Harbinger of War' I have the tendency to bring the war to any planet for Democracy

[@thomasmurray8143]

Can confirm every other ship you see in helldivers 2 is another player and you can see the stratagem they use in mission drop from them too

[@kimbertactpro9]

Is it just one Hell diver per destroyer? Are the hell divers the captains like commander shepherd from mass effect or is like that for gameplay reasons?

[@watch.v-dQw4w9WgXcQ]

@@kimbertactpro9 he's a bit wrong - depending on the amount of people active on a planet, the game generates a certain amount of ships like 100 per ship visible everything seen aside from the ships is all random background animations with the ships being approximate amount of players active on the planet - its a frosted cluster of Helldivers loaded to a ship and technically your original diver died on their first dive (or whatever the first death was) since Helldivers a expendable foot soldiers but propaganda overrides the crude fact that your nothing more than essentially an ODST and the controller of the Ship is the current defrosted Helldiver but the ultimate control is the Democracy Officer by the War Table since he's part of the "Inquisition" equivalent for Super Earth. So we're more like enabled suggesters on the ship as the actual controller just lets us do whatever as long as it allows their agenda to be progressed (otherwise good luck figuring out whos in charge with the 500 frozen helldivers in the cryobay)

[@BisexualPlagueDoctor]

@@kimbertactpro9there is a group of like five to ten frozen Helldivers, and one active, presumably to reduce costs

[@HP-ws2vx]

This is fucking INCREDIBLE. it really is quite accurate to the in game ship. A lot of Helldivers 2 reminds me of space engineers aesthetically, I knew you'd make a video on the subject and I was not disappointed!

[@Voeluspa45]

Lol, this was exactly what I gave thought to do when I first saw the ship.

[@WardenWolf]

*This is the method I used to build a large cargo container drop pod, capable of landing within 10 meters of target:* Start with "Easy LIDAR Homing Script" by Alysius. We are going to be using this in Mode 4, GPS guidance (instructions for use can be found on the workshop page). This will work with pretty much any pod configuration. You put parachutes on the drop pod and set them for autodeploy. Basically, we're going to be treating our drop pod like a missile, homing to that spot on the planet. At a certain distance above the ground (you will need to fine-tune it yourself as it affects precision) the parachute deploys, but the thrusters stay on. This has the effect of driving the pod to the coordinates at low speed. At a certain altitude, a sensor turns off the thrusters and programmable block, allowing it to touch down gently. If you calibrated the parachute deployment height and thruster cutoff correctly, you can get extreme accuracy.

[@brunothebat4122]

This might actually be a good planetary invasion ship. Imagine a navy Roleplay, and you have these as troop transports. It’ll be really cool.

[@sevyrsonpc4736]

Ahahaha thanks for the showcase! Btw you missed the upper decks inside the ship. It has a full interior for crew to use long term.

[@LastStandGamers]

Oh no, I guess thats even more reason for people to download it and explore it themselves ;]

[@BeunT_]

you missed most of the interior, if you stand in the hangar and look up there's another deck there, it can be accessed by a ladder on the starboard side, it's got servers/cargo/living quarters and a medbay.

[@Lord_Xonaz]

Ah man would love this ship design for Avorian.

[@Iron6942]

All ships in the background are in fact helldivers playing missions, they will also blow up whenever someone fails a mission

[@Gdsryrox]

Nice ship, only change would be the placement of the weapons, the main canon is under the bridge with the fire power in front being first two twin canons, followed by rocket bots and then gatling guns

[@stradorious4467]

Ah, so it seems super earth hired space engineers to manufacture ships for them.

[@peterphilipson2589]

I'd put the main seat where the hellpods would be just because that is still a really cool bridge (yeah a bit of an immersion breaking, but it is what it is)

[@vipermourn]

You consider this a SMALL ship?! hahah you must be building giant motherships . Great video. love this design.

[@bobrik399]

Yooo this is awesome, keep up the great work!

[@JTelli786]

On your part about the other ships in orbit I believe it’s a representation of the amount of players on a planet, not that those other ships are literally other players ships, I’ve also heard that when you see a ship explode that signifies a squad wipe in the region.

[@ClimberD-tn3xl]

It's always both encouraging and really discouraging trying to build ships lol. "Yes! My ship looks great!" *sees another ship*...😢

[@lemon7933]

helldivers 2 pods is possible but you need to heavily use subgrids and it can barely fit in a non chunky setup but you have to do some "sacrifices" with oxygen

[@ZeroDarkness-]

That's ship definitely can existed in Star Wars as part of SITH like SITH Infiltrator

[@SolearGnG]

I think the easiest way to go at creating the pods would be to mod a cryo chamber. That already has the functionality to put 1 player in it, just need to change the mesh and bam, easy breezy..

[@campbellhansen7533]

5:48 the starboard entrance is kinda in place of the cryo pods, it looks like.

[@ethanmudgett7384]

The ships in orbit fact about helldivers 2 is true, they are in fact other players ships who are in orbit above the planet and you can see when players shoot their bombardments or launch pods. You even see when they get destroyed after failing the mission

[@andrewfinlayson4416]

You may be able to super grid the drop pods. Making them small grid so they fit nicely

[@tarkov_6]

Tried making Helljumper pods and launch tubes back when planets were released and it was a pain.

[@jangiot4382]

Funny as hell that my Super Destroyer is also named herald of wrath lol

[@FlatlandsSurvivor]

The super destroyers we see in game seem to be almost purely ground attack craft, with no indication of forward or top weaponry. The Eagle (possibly 2?) they carry might be capable of acting as space superiority fighters, but they seem to more so be atmospheric craft that can reach space to dock. (seeing as the Destroyers have a limited deployment period in 'low orbit' and the eagle leaves with it.) The outside is impeccable, and with the scale and level of detail afforded in SE the interior is pretty impressive, clearly reworked to make it actually viable in SE as a useable ship, and I am curious how awful it would be if it was more directly dedicated to replication, not compromising for such trivial things as "working as a ship" like can I fit a cryo magazine in the ship, even if its impossible to have them hooked up to oxygen? Both the Eagle and Pelican seem pretty reasonable to make in the small ship scale (though far less iconic) and I think that a support drop with a container for a weapon or even a tiny turret might actually be survival viable with some auto pilot that go to waypoint.

[@SolearGnG]

Also I'd add the orbital entry mod for friction visuals.

[@Dr.Elise_Barlowe]

Now im curious about how such a ship would look like if it was taken over by the automatons

[@stradplayer90]

The stairs are where the cryo tubes are.

[@alexandersergal]

Prepare for FTL jump to the Melavelon Creek system

[@TheTrytix]

When you go in orbit and are ready to launch helldivers etc, there are tons of other super destroyers around, yes... However, I am fairly certain none of them represent player ships... As none of them leaves to go to other systems, and none of them are arriving either. Another detail that can be hard to spot is that if a Super Destroyer is close enough to where you can see it's name, it does not show the typical name you'd expect to see on a player Super Destroyer. No names like "Steward of Injustice" or "Democracy of family values" or "Fist of war" or "Blade of Eternity". Instead it has a one word name, "SES Liberty" I believe.

A bit late to the party but I’m working on a super destroyer more designed for the functionality and hellpod deployment over the looks of the ship itself

[@shoddypeasant8762]

Would’ve been perfect if it had the hellpods and the eagle hanger

[@R3LOADlikesgames]

For a fun game while watching the video, take a shot every time Arron says "detail." haha

[@lmno567]

There is something that kind of bothers me about the ship (not the one seen here, but with the design in general seen in Helldivers 2), why would the drop pods be in the bridge? Unless that is just part of the deck and not actually the bridge. If that is the case, then where is the bridge?

[@plutoniumrocks]

The artillery can actually be upgraded with more guns (dual gatlings, dual rocket pods, dual machine guns)

[@spaceengineeringempire4086]

We might be able to make a vanilla and a mod hellpods for the moded we make it a 1 block wide 3 blocks tall.

[@helohel5915]

Ngl the ship from HD2 looked like an SE ship

[@hybrid9mm]

Very nice build I’d say they have captured the essence of the in game ship especially the interior. 👌 I had a go at building one on ps5 so it’s very much vanilla (it’s close I think but far from perfect lol), struggled with the interior at first until I just went with functional for SE. It’s the first time I’ve tried to replicate or at least capture an existing sci-fi ship, if people do happen to find it on mod*io I’d appreciate any advice on how I can improve my building etc as I’m still learning.

[@generaljedi8691]

If you're interested in some more accurate models I'd keep checking the workshop. I have one out now on the workshop (while not as pretty, it is a bit more accurate to the game) and new ones have been steadily coming out as well. Some advice for this specific build is that I built the interior first and worked inside out, since the most detail in the interior that you can reference and then fit the outside to look proportional and should still have plenty of room to fit extra systems in the back.

[@vin7490]

Star wars kind of imperial fighter

[@lmno567]

Looks more like the Sith Infiltrator now that you mention it..

[@comicality1700]

what skybox is that? where can I find it?

[@The_Unseen_Shadow]

Might just be me, but the ship kinda looks like Darth Maul's ship (the Scimitar) turned into a larger ship

[@ollysee3656]

Here we go bois we’re going bug swattin’

[@It_was_a_split]

Outside look perfect inside look bad but it’s a good effort

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

How does one get a sky box like that? It would be truly epic to at least simulate a real sized planet in SE, even if it were somehow masked over a 'real' [in game] planet.

I made the drop pod for this

[@prestoncarter4096]

It was only a matter of time.

[@animusqt]

to get the pods it will probably be bigger in size to incoperate them in. as well as the bays need to be bigger for the pelcan and fighter overall... i need to kill bugs

[@Lazypantsj]

Aron when the hell are we diving into a fleet battle of this ship?

[@BlueSus]

what is the name of this planet pack? and maybe if you could say what mods are you using?

[@jerrebrasfield4231]

The lighting of the ship depends on the planetary system it is at. Something space engineers did a bad job at

[@orionriftclan2727]

So the other ships in orbit around the planet are supposed to represent players, as well as all the stratagems and such you see on planet, it is to give the illusion of a active on going conflict you are just a simple peice in

[@karlthorsten9118]

It's pefect, and this is just a 'Destroyer'. The Helldivers 2 team are considering introducing larger ships. Frigates, Cruisers, Battleships and Carriers, possibly. This could also launch spinoff games, I'd love an RTS game where you build bases and command fleets, I really do.
