PMW: Anti-Orbital Missiles

[@A.Person.Who.Exists]

The closer this comes to completion, the more excited I get.

[@WardenWolf]

I did it first. . . Guideline Planetary Defense System. Just a single HUGE missile, but it's heavily armored with 12 decoys.

[@quintonjones6583]

I could watch those vapor trails all day...

[@allenjoswick2820]

Same, they look like they could be from a show at moments.

[@phrixos2826]

Very cool, what is that music on the video plz, thst is also very cool

[@dystoriaalex261]

Amazing fabulous showstopping incredible

[@bjornegan6421]

the stuff you're putting out is impressive. makes me want to play the game. thanks for the work and the videos. not to take away from what you're featuring, but what's the song?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Out of memory I can't recall the name of the track, but it's on the streambeats website in the synthwave section. It's royalty free as well

[@SgtAwesome97]

I've gotta ask where you get the smoke effects for the thrusters, I would love to have that in my survival world.

[@przysov6783]

Its RocketFx mod I think.

[@steineklopfer1914]

Interesting. Are you continuously sending target coordinates or are they programmed before the launch?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Continuous stream, sort of have to since there is no program on the missiles and they are all being controlled by the launching ship's mainframe. A performance saving measure but also allows midflight course adjustment,

[@weynewman6415]

@@mobiuscoreindustries how do you apply the script to the missiles once they launch from the ship?

[@mantha6912]

They seem to keep targetting the exact center of the ship, even after the center is already destroyed. Is that intentional? Also I'm gonna need a name for that song :P

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Sort off, they have a deviation based on the aproximated size of the vessel however i keep it relatively small in order to limit the chances of missiles going right through the hole they made. However estimating the bounding box without lagging everything with LIDAR is... well its not possible. As a result the missiles will just pick and offset and try to impact there, ususaly that offset is enough to cut a ship it half which is what i want, and if the target moves, they are going to hit all over the place anyways

[@noahbluecoat]

I'm just going to say. That this weapon really impresses me since i can take down any ships in orbit. Like Its a long range weapon really

[@Tactical-Ferret]

Anti orbital missiles....so...these missiles destroy the orbits!?!.!

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Not quite, but they do target vehicles situated in orbit for the express purpose of un-existing them. Though to be honest, they are more akin to anti-everything missiles as they are apt to engage fighters, cruisers, bases, other missiles, my sanity and a ton of other stuff.

[@scritchyscratchy4894]

What if these have to got a donut shaped ship? Then what?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Its well know that having a big hole in the center of your ship is a common way to beat PMW. However that really only works in one axis of fire (here it would not since the designator ship was off-axis to the vector of fire). Moreover if the missiles are running encirclement mode, or if the ship is evading, the missiles are going to stray and hit all over the place on all vectors of approach. Since they are proximity fuzed, its hard to prevent them hitting the frame of the "donut" which is always bad news, but more importantly is likely to cut the ship in half, after which the center of grid will re-ajust to be inside on of the arms which means the trick won't work anymore. Also, if the ship is mostly spherical, all you have to do is modify the offset percentage (right now at 30%) so the missiles spread out more and end up hitting the frame

[@blackcrows5729]

About 10 years ago I played a theme game like this but with 2D graphics and on mobile. Can anyone help me find the name of that game?

[@dragonfullofgrenades4693]

what mod do you got to make the missles thrusters lok like that?? its so cinimatic

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

It's called RocketFX

[@drdalekhunter5516]

isnt that the subnautica intro music

[@SirBork]

Radical

[@timberg3308]

hey is this ship on steam / bleuprint

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Depends which one, the target ship is on the workshop (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2025612585) But the two other missile ships (Draconis corvette, used here for remote targetting) and Oryx skimmer (that does the shooting on the ground) are using the guidance script, which is in development and for private use only for now. Can't publish any of these ships until the script is ready to hit the workshop

[@joshk.4470]

@@mobiuscoreindustries Just about to get back into Space Engineers, any chance your script is available now?

[@alegiani5690]

Good missiles! What is this visual mod?

[@wikedgaming]

Need any help with the script or design?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Not as of now, especially now that the script is feature (ish) complete. Currently preping for release. Expect a video soon about the last core feature, that being truster detatchement on missiles

[@thebreadgoblin4499]

dude what mod doesw the smoke come from

[@crypto217]

The smoke trail behind them is a mod right?

[@A.Person.Who.Exists]

Oh, by the way, will the script also take targeting data from turrets when within turret range?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

I know it works for the weaponcore ones, i have not yet tested if it works for vanilla turrets as well.

[@stephanroy3120]

What mods does this use?

[@23AlexandreJ]

these PDCs aren't very effective tho

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Fast missiles against regular gattling guns, they aren't exactly meant for that

[@23AlexandreJ]

@@mobiuscoreindustries oh I see xD I don't play the game, so I thought it was a "rocinante without plot armor" situation here haha
