i like how the ship came out. I really like these sorts of videos. The flow of thought, and the explanation for your reasoning for different bits of the ship.

[@LunarKolony]

Glad you enjoy Peter! :D

[@LoneWolf20213]

I like the idea that once you get to survival, you have at least 15 minutes to design your starter ship with the bare essentials, makes each one unique and gives you motivation to plan ahead and only change things once you start since if you stop to second guess, you may mess something up same with miltiplayer

[@LunarKolony]

Yo that's a neat idea

[@LoneWolf20213]

@@LunarKolony I know right, I think it would really show how good someone is when they are scrambling to get materials for thing's they forgot or overlooked, and how they make them, I can only imagine how panicked some will be once they are nearing the 1-minute mark and have to make sure things are made right

[@AveryChristy]

Me: "Oh, that looks nice." LK: "No, I'm not gonna do that, not gonna use the worst blocks..." Me: "Oh, okay."

[@roundnround952]

I'd be very curious to see what you'd do for a starter/minimalist hydrogen ship to leave Earth's atmosphere for space.

[@LunarKolony]

Put it onthe list

[@PoiTEE]

Love the build videos! Could we do a how to setup your build-bar and the commands used to navigate things.. like a space engineers for dummies? CLICK CLICK CLICK 😛

[@eledenericson1962]

Lunar, Great Build! I'm loving all these Let's Build videos. The comment section is always so engaging and supportive. You're building a really chill community and I look forward to the next video!

[@LunarKolony]

Thank you! :D I'm glad you enjoy :))

[@gnrwestwell694]

Don't know if you have used it before but AQD-builders skybox is great for lighting in creative builds no need to change sun position

[@bowlock9901]

Just sat down again and a new one drops! Good evening all :)

[@LunarKolony]

Welcome welcome

[@ultimoketchup3299]

Love these build video, just made coffee so you know it's gonna be a good one. What a vibe👌

[@LunarKolony]

We vibing in here

[@RimWorldRimmer]

Would love to see a playthrough from drop pod to dreadnought

[@indy1139]

Very nice ship

[@dafelix]

Turrets don't reset when you change the color, but they DO reset if you change the material texture.

[@kanski9]

Lovely ship yet again! Just throwing an idea out there but a black-paintjob ""stealth"" ship would be hot.

[@ClimberD-tn3xl]

Something cool you can do is, make a "stealth field" using a projector. Can be used to help hide a cave entrance or ship depending how creative you're feeling

[@Zeralas]

Thanks for the build! Would you mind adding links to your steam workshop in the description?

[@fredpryde8555]

awesome looks great wish i could build them that good

[@Dagonius.]

These vids are great Lunar!

[@LunarKolony]

Thank u !

[@woody32854]

Love these videos, especially the build competition ones. and my does this look smexy

[@LunarKolony]

Thank u !

[@shane5923]

The first Large Grid ship I built was inspired by your light frigate video.

[@ImThe5thKing]

The orange one? I did the same, but made it a little wider for more thrusters and added a railgun in the front of the nose

[@shane5923]

@@ImThe5thKing Yeah the orange one, I made one a bit longer and taller putting a hanger in the front bit and production below decks

[@cabbageplays6710]

Best thing to do with anything for a starter ship, is to take the pieces from what you get now, and "only" use what you get. Otherwise is gives an advantage. I personally think the starting ships you currently get have more than enough components to do whatever you want to do, but maybe that's just me. The current space start has only 9 small ion thrusters, I would suggest you go to small grid if you want it to be larger. I also find starting with the things you need to pipe through is a better way of designing ships. So cargo, survival, conveyors and such. Then build around it.

[@Skoxe]

Like your vids, have learned a lot. Would this ship need an air vent in the cabin? I would assume that once the airlock was closed it would be limited oxygen. Or is it enough as is?

[@Speeder_2000]

nice video! also, I am currently in the prosses if a redesign of your "Ingot" light freight. I am no master builder but im trying something new. Also your an amazing youtuber and builder!

[@CASA-dy4vs]

All the ridges make it look like a little gunboat or industrial ship

[@PickleNL]

Good video and verry nice ship it has only 1 flaw it has 1 gyro i dont think it wil turn wel. But it is a starter ship so it coud pass.

[@rebaav]

I like the look of this and I wonder how would the interior look/function if you added interior blocks like in the Hanuman by Benokt ? Evolve the starter though gaining character over time and add interior etc.

[@Certarl]

very nice lunar, slap that little boat on the workshop i need to take it for a spin :)

[@Rygertyger]

Is that paint gun a mod or standard. Love these videos!

[@ryanwhite8993]

I’m not gonna lie, I’m lovin the ship and where I’m at in the vid currently…it reminds me of a goldfish

[@Drevne_ZgLO]

Nice ship? Really nice!) Can you add workshop link?

You're a wizard, Lunar

[@supa_star]

How do you change which blueprints are used for a starter ship? Is it by a mod or is there some setting deep within the scary depths of "advanced settings"?

[@LunarKolony]

Needs to be a mod unfortunately

[@Legends-uv2wj]

Love you videos

[@LunarKolony]

Thank you !

[@Ishaname101]

Would totally use that as a blueprint in a survival play. I've got but one question though, will it have batts or just the engine? I guess with a basic assembler you could put your own in though.

[@LunarKolony]

Battery's ye

[@tmdwu3110]

Good god that mechanical keyboard!

[@Apiculsanti]

Please! silence your keyboard! Jaja nice video.

[@Phaeranbro]

Amazing build as always, Lunar. Hope you don't mind but I built along with you but I made it a bit different than your's, exterior is the same but the interior a little bit different.

[@LunarKolony]

That's awesome!!

[@Phaeranbro]

@@LunarKolony Yeah, added bathroom and shower and kitchen with a view.

[@mrJMD]

I gotta get off my butt and release my mod to let people select from a bunch of starter ships instead of just one for each area. I think survival folks will get a kick out of it.

[@Eggmayor]

Is it ready and have you got a link?

[@congareel]

"If you ever feel useless, just remember that the spherical gravity generator exists." Pff you cut to the CORE of me Baxter

[@bigkahuna8920]

there any kind of workshop link to this ship?

[@kinexxona06]

What's the problem with the turrets moving? It makes it more authentic

[@LunarKolony]

It triggers my OCD

[@Sorinoir]

LK, my i ask for an advice? What to do when your other faction members want to build boring 0 dlc OP ships, lika gun spam bricks and flying platform with AI drones but you want to build pretty semi practical ships with all DLCs?

[@MorbinNecrim86]

Build what you want and screw anyone who has a problem with it

[@LunarKolony]

Sounds like you'll have to convince them or go it alone

[@CASA-dy4vs]

If you make it look like your factions style while still being a relatively armed ship then maybe they’ll change to your design philosophy

[@sh1be572]

5:10 tbh it looked good...

[@Mew-tw2]

It took me five days of tutorials and crying to play this game

[@chrisbacon3071]

Now that I’m back in Blighty (I was on holiday in Indonesia) I’m going to build the fu** out of my unfinished builds!

[@LunarKolony]

Go for it!

[@TMurkys]

watching this video knowing i wont be able to make something like that to save my life

[@LunarKolony]

Copy it >:D

[@ZeKermet]

Make a dreadnought next lol

[@averageaimer8533]

Can you make a sexy cheap little cargo shuttle to move resources/components etc from planets to space base and vice versa?

[@CASA-dy4vs]

You’d need lots of large / medium cargo containers if you wanna ferry lotsa ores to an in production outpost or some backwater automated drone factory

[@nextrobo7964]

Hey i really struggle with bases. Can you give some tipps or a build Video?

I've just noticed... Why are all of your toolbar numbers 1-9 backwards??

[@ColinJordanVanDerMerwe-tr1kv]

Hi how can I start with a ship I build myself in beginner survivi ?

[@CASA-dy4vs]

It’s a mod

[@Variable547]

I Don't understand how you can find a design for these ships I can't seem to find the right shapes

[@justcallmedots8339]

Please make a hydro version of this.. its eider you do it or i will in no time! hahaha. jokes aside I prefer if you do it.

[@LunarKolony]

Hydrogen gives me pain cos of convs

[@justcallmedots8339]

@@LunarKolony soo you run down a conv line from the back to the front. And that middle interior isle is just getting ripped off because you do need Isys's inv sorter. oh and isys's inv sorter needs at least 4 cargo containers to work properly. When you making hydro then its best to start your designs backwards. pipes and internal comps first then the armors added after.

[@JanoschNr1]

Wait what ... you can mirror your builds and even switch blocks? ... how, since when?

[@erebor4nierdzewny970]

This game gives so many building possibilities that even experienced players do not know what to build. I say this, because of the enormous possibilities and if someone ever builds a perfect ship that cannot be destroyed, it will probably be the absolute finish line. Although I think that this will never happen because of 24/7 hours, players build military ships and usually return to the base destroyed. What a game. I honestly don't get it. - Play time 15h. I can not build even a simple mining ship xD edit The military race in this game probably surpasses human efforts on the ground.

[@CASA-dy4vs]

Factions build military ships to protect uranium deposits or run raids on nearby enemy faction bases

[@DmytroBogdan]

I don't like 1 block high interiors, they're claustrophobic

[@davidhaaijema4521]

​@@LunarKolony *looks at video* i'll ignore you building this from scratch than I guess ? also the amount of ion thrusts on the starter ship doesn't match this design, so better hope people spawn near certain materials (hence why I said it).
