MASSIVE server-wide fleet battle | Draconis Expanse | Space Engineers

[@FoxyWoxy-pc8jj]

It's crazy that there was a whole second round of combat after this, what a fight!

[@alphamatte4259]

Super cool that it just happened organically too. No admin event or anything

[@kageddeamon231]

NEED HIGHER SERVER POP LIMIT!!! Lol

[@nefariousgremlin7554]

All the tracer fire from the PDCs is nuts

[@alphamatte4259]

Yeah its pretty wild

[@Lutavian]

Just to think that this was just the opening battle too, with several small engagements and then another massive one a few hours later to finish it all off. By far the best fighting I've been a part of, amazing!

[@alphamatte4259]

Yeah had to go to sleep

[@kaoffate3442]

2:30 Oh, that's a cool debris cloud in the distance.... wait...

[@alphamatte4259]

Lots of debris at this battle

[@HolyDuckTurtle]

Gotta be my favourite shot of this video. I realized what that actually was around the same time the PDCs did :D

[@dgw237]

Stayed up to 5 am fighting this one. Good fight UN.

[@CodenameCat-go4xn]

Overly dramatic crash at 7:03 (I love it)

[@alphamatte4259]

Haha yeah gravity is the ultimate enemy

[@rock76222]

Pretty sure that was me RIP

[@BattlepantsNoobestOfNoobs]

God damn, 30 seconds in and reminded about how this combat is so great. Great fight to all, too bad I was busy :(

[@alphamatte4259]

Touching grass is for losers

[@64SGH]

That missile spam!

[@brillcrafter7417]

this was an AMAZING fight, I was only able to get on for the last bit but it was really fun

[@alphamatte4259]

Yeah wish I could have gotten the whole thing haha

[@brillcrafter7417]

I wonder if you got any footage of my cruiser brawling?

[@alphamatte4259]

@@brillcrafter7417 Everything I got that was good quality I put in here

[@soth1438]

Fun battle for sure, and I was only in round 1 before bed. This stuff makes this server amazing

[@alphamatte4259]

Crazy it went on for so long

[@redhavoc4144]

Very interesting, love the videos

[@SpaceEngineers]

Fantastic Battle! 🖖

[@alphamatte4259]

Thanks! 😄

[@trinityx3o522]

Wish we had something like this in Star Citizen. I know the current server cap is 110, with Server Meshing pushing those numbers higher when it comes, so it's technically possible to arrange a server wide fleet battle at this scale, but it would only be possible given the servers don't just go derpy.

[@alphamatte4259]

Well we are a community run server funded by donations and we can pull it off so no reason they shouldn’t be able to do it 🤷‍♂️

[@Im_Not_From_Around_Here]

Expanse but with 10 times the firepower.

[@alphamatte4259]

Torp nerf loading…

[@ericbencusmagnusfabricius3499]

we couldn't even get into the zone when we arrived, but it looks like we wouldn't have lasted long if we did anyway xdd wtf is that torp volley at 3:34 omfg

[@alphamatte4259]

That torp volley is called death

[@kageddeamon231]

I was the one at around 7.50 gettin tore up by PDC fire, took at least 3 different ships to be able to take me off that point!! I didnt put Resolve in the name for nothing! Tried 5o upload my pov for the whole battle but my recoding soft captured my music in the background and yt said no.

[@alphamatte4259]

Haha nice work

[@kinngrimm]

2:34 it is then when he knew he fucked up

[@wagnerantonio6498]

I discovered this amazing series recently and im addicted to it. Finding a whole SE Server dedicated to it... Oh man... I was looking around for a way to play off-line and nothing complete out there. Thinking about hop in the server. Im not a pvp guy and all my ships are bricks. Don't know How to design anything but a brick. This Server has frindly aproach? Or first thing i need on my base is a bunch of weapons? How fights work? Are consensual or "Ohh look! A ship. Lets burn it".

[@alphamatte4259]

The server has a super friendly community and huge player alliances that anyone can join to have instant friends. Search SDX on the workshop there are hundreds of ships made for this server.

Maybe the 3rd one made it alive 👀 🤣 but pretty sure we no power few but gg 😉

[@VoxAstra-qk4jz]

Whats the mod list you guys use? Also, how much lore is ported from the show and books vs player made?

[@Kron1K_]

I am new to the server, thanks to your videos. I have never really done combat in SE vanilla let alone this expanse server. I would LOVE if you could do a guide on combat for this server. How to lock on? Do weapons shoot at targets automatically? Do I need ammo?

[@alphamatte4259]

Go look up “weaponcore tutorial” we use weaponcore on our server.

[@Kron1K_]

@@alphamatte4259 Thank you mate

[@trex6325]

the battle was epic indeed, its a bummer i slept through its entirety due to my timezone :(

[@alphamatte4259]

Time is wild

[@64SGH]

Hope you will do an update for the weapons video you did, time ago, also one for engines and new blocks that have been added, haven't played this server since my computer died, wont be back this year, your videos are the only information I get for now

[@alphamatte4259]

We haven’t really added any new weapons

[@cantasdan]

Do you need any of the Space engineers DLCs to play on this server ?

[@alphamatte4259]

No

[@dussianindustries5696]

Epic space warfare!

[@alphamatte4259]

agreed

[@depholade]

can players build on the planets? Are there any PVE planets?

[@alphamatte4259]

Yes players can build on planets. And there is ONE PvE planet but you can’t spawn there and it’s a dangerous journey to get there.

[@benedictdauphin8140]

I dont know how to play space enginwers but i like the expanse and i maybe want to try the server but what can i do

[@alphamatte4259]

Buy space engineers and join? I’m confused what you are asking here

[@benedictdauphin8140]

Actually, I tried space engineers before but I am bad at it so trying this server is hard for me since I dint know how to make my own ship

[@Ereshkigal616]

i worry about people who throw rocks....

[@alphamatte4259]

You and me both

[@TechJoe1994]

I really do wonder what the heck they have this running on. Our old server couldnt support 10 players grids let alone over 80 peoples. Is this secretly running at nasa haha

[@Kilroy020]

Best active dev team in all of SE MP imo is how :D

[@alphamatte4259]

We use a top of the line servers and have a Nexus Cluster server that uses third party meshing to distribute population across multiple servers. We also have 10+ custom performance plugins that patch a bunch of the games vanilla code to make things run more performantly

[@MENTOR_PICTURES]

Add a mod that the ship would completely explode if the hull is below 20 percent, because these flying junk look bad (( Well and it will help with fps and garbage in general Well it would be cool to see an expensive, slow nuclear torpedo. It's all plasma torpedoes, no real damage.

[@alphamatte4259]

If you know of one let me know

[@Newman3jw]

I like y'alls videos, but I really wish y'all would stop calling every bridge a CIC. They are not the same. A ship isn't controlled or commanded from a CIC. The CIC is an information hub that gathers Intel and converts it into usable data that is then passed to the Captain.

[@alphamatte4259]

Yeahhhh I mean this is pretend space legos so 🤷‍♂️

[@Newman3jw]

​@alphamatte4259 True. But, you wouldn't sit there and call an Ion thruster a cleaver propeller just because it's space Legos. I'm not trying to start fights, just leaving opinion.

[@atlastheend]

ngl if this server dosent have build and repair or instant build from projector or nanite mode, i wont be joining since in pvp, you can die extremely fast after spending hours building your ship up with welders >.>

We have crazy huge modded welders. You can print a 4000 block ship in 5 minutes with 6 welders
