More INCREDIBLE ship designs | Draconis Expanse | Space Engineers

[@Der_Moosenheimmannchesterton]

The Pella (and it's concepts) are probably some of the best looking ships in sci-fi and that Emancipator is no exception. That is a really good looking ship.

[@v0id683]

Thank you! Glad you like it! Its also a mix of the donnager

[@alphamatte4259]

Totally agree

[@guiltyspark936]

The Garuda has given me inspiration to make my own ship like it, props to Danimal.

[@alphamatte4259]

He is a monster at ship design

[@guiltyspark936]

@@alphamatte4259 this is my first time attempting a quad core, but in my previous reply to you, i said that the core mods no longer work. I just cant make the ship with the same things without the build world on the discord which i dont have.

[@heraadrian7764]

The Garuda is genius and please compliment the designer if you have the time.The railgun turret would be extra cool if it had a duplex lay-out like coaxial railguns of the same caliber on the same platform.

[@alphamatte4259]

I will extend my compliments to Danimal. He is part of the Voltaire Collective faction.

[@heraadrian7764]

@@alphamatte4259 Thank you kindly.

[@DeepBlue10055]

Thanks, appreciate the compliment! If it were at all possible to put more railguns on it, I would :) One of the fun things about this server is how the various constraints require you to make design tradeoffs.

[@heraadrian7764]

@@DeepBlue10055 Cool that I get to hear from the designer in person. You designed it very logically and I thought from lack of attention that you used a player made turret so that is what it was with the extra railguns. Lame of me to only observe now the message but thanks for the in person reply. Good health to you and those you hold dear. Salut

[@z3ntropy]

first ship is a masterclass in design language

[@alphamatte4259]

totally agree

[@KaffiRawr]

This. It was absolutely the best visually out if them all. It used simple shapes create something very coherent. The design is much better looking than the others because it really leaned into realistic RCS thrusters and greebling being mostly surface features and textures.

[@VoxAstra-qk4jz]

I love how the round drive cones are kind or mirrored by the round pillars at the front, making the everything in between seem like one cohesive chunk of technology.

[@trollek7823]

The Emancipator Cruises looks very similar to the Typhoon Battleship from EVE online , very nice.

[@robopenguin5501]

Heck yeah it’s always a great upload

[@alphamatte4259]

Thank you!

[@tinawhite6904]

I’m on Xbox and m SO jealous of the pc modding capabilities for this game! Also keep up the videos man I’m loving them. I’ve played space engineers for years but only discovered the expanse about a year and a half ago and a few days ago I found your channel. Keep them coming 😊

[@alphamatte4259]

I plan on it! The modding community makes this game sooo much better

[@frogstrfytr]

Great stuff! I'm just figuring out what works best on the server. Really like your vids and tips!

[@alphamatte4259]

Happy to help beratna

[@scottcooke4080]

I'm enjoying these showcases, if I may make a suggestion going forward. Can you be more aware of the lighting angles when panning around the ships? Sometimes, details are being lost on the dark sides. Again, thank you 😊

[@alphamatte4259]

Thats a great request! I will definitely do that next time.

[@chronicrogue22]

this was a great video, looking forward to see more like it! I've been trying to get into space engineers more so this was a really cool video.

[@alphamatte4259]

Thank you!

[@templar501]

you need to do these videos in belt langa to let people know what it's like to play on the server

[@alphamatte4259]

That’s a lot to work lmao

[@VoxAstra-qk4jz]

You should look into making modded control seats that have the control axis corrct when they are placed like a normal chair, so you don't have to tip cockpits up on their back.

[@toylegman3315]

They are some very awesome ships i think ive seen some of them fly by in ship show. i believe this server has some if not the best ship builders in se. I've been on this server for about a month and its been good fun building ships for this server its a very different build than the base game. And one day i hope to get one of my builds on one these ship shows though i realize that there's sooo many great ships to show every ones ships.

[@alphamatte4259]

I totally agree the builders are incredible on the server. Best in the community for sure

[@matthewwagner47]

Someone made a rail gun Gatlin gunship. It was awsome. Personally think that ship would be a awsome gun pod on a battleship.

[@alphamatte4259]

We have exclusion zones on our weapons for that reason exactly. All weapons have to be 2 blocks away from another weapon or they turn off. No gunbrick meta on this server lol

[@reinerzufall5412]

can u do a starter guide for newer players PLS its very hard to get started love your videos btw. :)

Is it possible to get The Garuda Heavy Cruiser? I build my own ship and i need to know how he create this part on the top 6:48. I tried to rebuild it but i couldn´t. It would be a great help to continue building my ship. Can you pls ask the designer? I just need the top not the whole ship. Thanks a lot.

[@alphamatte4259]

I can ask but I highly doubt it. Opsec is pretty important to that author.

[@hanz5555]

Oooooh yees... Mooooore.. Give us Mooooooore :D :D :D I tried to desing my own gunship for hunting pirates. I build it with PDCs only sooo i thought its not too bad. Than I realized i can buy components for one turreted Zakko railgun. That thing took up 2/3 of the entire ship. Sooooo i said to myself "Am I crazy or this thing is tooo small?"... Than i found out you are restricted only by PCU per grid and not PCU per player I was used to.... Sooo i need a bigger boat :D

[@alphamatte4259]

Always need a bigger boat

[@MarcABrown-tt1fp]

I love how much at their core, most of these ships are basically painted bricks fighting other bricks. Definitely uninspired, but still cool.

[@alphamatte4259]

Welcome to space engineers. I will say that these ships are the best looking, actually functional, ships I've ever seen in SE multiplayer. Most SE multiplayer ships are literally bricks, at least these look good too.

[@VoxAstra-qk4jz]

I'm gonna keep it real with you chief. The Emancipator Cruiser is just a small Donnager.

[@alphamatte4259]

Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery

[@liquidgarfield8523]

the Garuda looks like a halberd from Halo

[@alphamatte4259]

With a bigger thrust package

[@geor992]

Which mod is the Armor Thrusters from? Couldn't find it in the list. Ships are awesome!

[@alphamatte4259]

It’s from the Core mod. All our mods are linked together into just a few mods cause they all rely on eachother.

[@guiltyspark936]

@@alphamatte4259 The core mod no longer works, the thrusters are from the Aryx-Lynxon Drive Systems.

[@munchyolly]

Is there a way to get Just the weapons from the mods list in your own Survival/creative world? The mod says it needs the core mod, i have it installed but it just doesnt show up in the mods list Any explanation would be great

[@alphamatte4259]

The weapons are wrapped into the core mod unfortunately. We have a huge mod ecosystem and they all rely on the core mod.

Would the person that made the Emancipator Cruiser be willing to upload a version of that ship onto the Steam Workshop, its truly a work of art and I would love to use that ship.

We've had many beginners start on this server, we have a plugin called the "Quantum Hangar" that allows players to save their ships while they are offline so no one can touch them.

Hey I joined the serve cause I found your channel. Had SE for ages and now this makes it worth playing again. I saw some ship printer in your videos and was wondering if this visible grid pattern is the range of the welders. How does one make those visible? Are you guys still active on the server btw?

Very much active in server. Server got up to 65 people today with 33 on as on of this comment. We have a mod called “build vision” use crtl + to turn it on. It will show the range of welders on your hud when you select them.
