Making an Orbital Cannon in Besiege

[@ReidCaptain]

Hey guys! I'm working on making a portable synth, if that sounds interesting to you, check out my Kickstarter!: www.kickstarter.com/projects/reidcaptain/mixisynth

[@somerameomstuffxd9190]

Just imagine being a peasant in medieval times and out of nowhere a ramdom dude straight up comes with an orbital canon

[@helo_tonk_here]

More likely, an Alien Super weapon.

After much teasing, it is finally here! Would you guys rather see me make a VTOL in Besiege or a machine gun in Poly Bridge?

[@yorifant]

both ;) a machine gun in poly bridge would be interesting, i'm up for it!

[@cantthinkofabetteruser]

VTOL

[@TheFrenchmanBehindYou]

Both or VTOL.

[@Lil_Vita]

VTOL would be cool

[@nemodaremo9524]

what mods do you use?

[@isaacelkins418]

You should create a shotgun in Kerbal Space Program. I think that would be cool.

I actually absolutely love orbital cannons, the thought of high-powered ordinance so high in the sky it's like god just said, "Die" and explodes an area. It's so scarily amazing! This was very cool to me. (Also he took the hard route at sustaining height, which is rather than using the hot air balloon blocks. Though it's best to have those mods that let you input a custom value for that.)

I have to say the rings from halo are super scary if u aren't a fan I'd recommend looking into their lore

[@KaneyoriHK]

[@bee_irl]

this looks cool as hell (especially the stabilizing wheels), and the slow movement just adds to its ominous vibes. also love the aiming system. one of my favourites on this channel

[@CALEBMWOODS]

I love this channel because of how creative he is.

Nice to see that NileRed has finally branched out from chemistry videos to Besiege.

[@HedgeHogMan650]

heh? you saying he sounds similar?

[@BluePixel-4544]

Oh my god i hear it

[@perfectvermin6489]

Next idea: perhaps a bipedal mech suit that is able to complete every level of besiege?

[@the_7th_sun]

Oh boy, are we going to have a resurgence of mechs?

[@gabenoodle6975]

A note on your original ballista, my guess as to why the bolt wouldn't fly correctly is that the center of mass was too far back. You want the center of mass of an arrow/bolt to be pretty much as far in front of the center of pressure as possible, which is my guess as to why the first bolt design almost worked but had some inconsistencies under high load. If you think about it, you want the air resistance to be a self correcting force, so you want those fletchings to be behind the center of mass so the more your bolt deviates from head on the more force is correcting it. I think that a weight in the point and less weight back by the fletchings would make it way more accurate and consistent. Would love to see a ballista with a sight or maybe a full bow from you at some point.

[@yorifant]

the uploads just keep comming!! thanks for that :D maybe try to make historically accurate weird contraptions ;) would love to see some of the old failed prototypes in this game (like scrapman)

It’s complete overkill/pointless to make such a big airship in real life. Much easier and more practical to patrol the skies with fighter jets and helicopters, which they already do.

[@lolzers7986]

This has to be one of, if not the prettiest design(s) you've made in besiege so far, great work

[@TetanusSnowfall]

Huh, I haven't thought about Besiege in years; it's crazy what people are still able to make!

The plan is that your targets will just simply die of a heart attack when they see that thing in the sky

[@evanrobison567]

That looks amazing with the two rings moving around the central pillar! And definitely a VTOL.

[@kaz49]

A "messing around with bombs n stuff in Besiege" might be fun, like instead of building something just do a bunch of experimenting like seeing how many bombs you can explode at once before the game crashes. Would be even more fun if it was a livestream, chat always has some very entertaining (and usually explosive) ideas.

[@Grimpus]

This is absolutely incredible. Design, visual, functionality, just amazing.

[@sloonder3342]

I can’t imagine what kind of strange mechanical contraption Reid would make if he actually lived during medieval/renaissance times, just casually torment the passersby’s below.

[@sakalaath]

I liked the dart launcher concept, and disappointed that you abandoned it. Still a very very cool build. Maybe you can revisit that in the future!

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @Reid Captain! Can't wait for the next video man! Next Idea: Build a Douglas A-20G Havoc Medium Bomber in Beseige (Day 2 or 3). Would love to see an A-20G Havoc making Gun Runs and Skip Bombing Middle Age Era Villages like they were Japanese Supply Ships!

[@scoutgaming737]

every video i watch from this guy i learn that its not the game that has limits its my creativity

[@Isomorphistic]

I'm nearly confident that two rings spinning in opposite directions has zero angular momentum and therefore is not actually adding any passive stabalization.

[@louca6549]

Would you ever consider playing a different genre of games? I personally would love to see your spin on some games like City Skylines or some old SIMs or rollercoaster tycoon games. Some ideas like making the most efficient cities at any cost (and applying CS ideas like tileable cells and graph theory to manage traffic). Im sure a big part of your audience would find that interesting, and it's definitely a unique concept!

[@JeromeEngelbrecht]

I Love these besiege videos, please never stop

[@automobiili_xd6236]

The oscillations most likely stemmed from the not-so-rigid connection with a structure so large, alongside that besiege hates having too much mass on a block that is too light, so it starts spazzing out.

[@KitsonHeart]

Rourke: "Well, next time, get it in writing." *Throws her over board* Helga: "ROURKE!" Rourke: "Nothing personal!" I mean, I can't be the only one thinking about that movie when seeing this thing, right? I mean, it looks a lot similar to that red blimp in the ending of Atlantis: The Lost Empire, right?

[@ravenfire5505]

Next Idea: Make a rally car in Scrap Mechanic that uses sensors, logic, variable suspension, and as much as you can cram into it to make it as fast and as stable as possible around a dirt track (The canyon, or a workshop tile if you want)

[@steveg4jan]

Another idea for besiege: make the most accurate and longest reaching semi-automatic sniper/railgun possible
