Also try grouping your reverse thrusters separately from the rest of your thrusters... when you wanna cruise, shut off your rev thrust and leave dampners on. You will find you can fly and change direction smoothly. When you wanna dead stop, turn on your rev thrusters. Amaizing difference in flight.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@jmferretmaster great, thanks!

[@graybacca]

Honestly I would exchange that cockpit to the industrial one because the industrial one will attach to the cargo space above you meaning that you can use the cockpit as an additional cargo holder and it will be connected to the rest of the cargo as well. Also you can replace that Corridor piece with a bed that looks just like it or you can put in one of the bunks with the metal backing that will plug that hole there

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

I like these ideas!

[@liberatetheforks]

"KLANG TAKE THE WHEEL" moment at the end. Nice

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Bro, you have no idea. 😂

[@jamestaylor9887]

Bob, you should replace the assault cannon with a custom small grid railgun sniper turret. You lose 600 range and its slower to fire, but its more accurate, has more damage and you'll save resources (except on uranium which uses 0.04 more per shell). just use an advanced rotor w/ small head, hinge, conveyors to center the rail gun on the rotor (optional), rail gun, and place a top mounted camera to the top of the railgun. then use a turret controller to set up the controls. you can also add a small grid piston to recess it if you want. fun little tip. if you center the railgun on the rotor you can place a small grid turret controller on the back of the rail gun or underneath it to save on space. I also recommend increasing the hinge breaking torque to max to compensate for the recoil.

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@jamestaylor9887 wait, I thought rail gun shot 2000m. How am I losing 600 range?

[@jamestaylor9887]

@@SurvivalBobGaming small grid is 1400m. consumes less power and is significantly smaller. you could do a similar set up with a large grid rail gun, but i think it would way to large for you miner and you wouldn't save on resources

The zone chips power the safezone generators(you can build them) for 1 hour per chip

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@andrewfraser7818 do I need them in single player?

[@andrewfraser7818]

@@SurvivalBobGaming I mean you can't fly with a safe zone active but say you piss the npcs off enough or a drone facility spawns nearby that safezone will protect the station inside. But just like any other safe zone.. no shooting, grinding, welding, but the enemies can not enter the bubble period bullets-railgun shots bounce off, I might build 1 in a singleplayer world if I have things like readers and orks spawning that actively hunt you

[@AutrevmlM]

@@andrewfraser7818 well iirc you can configure safe zones to allow or not allow grinding and welding and other stuff(from my memory from the last time I used them)

[@michaelproberts1969]

take that mining transport (the cigar tube) and pop some large drills on the front, It makes a GREAT plunge miner with all those cargo containers.

[@AkhinnaeEmpire]

I applaud your use of all of those toilets, charging and discharging. Apart from that - that was some nice progress!

[@pularis1629]

11:14 from what I remember this is really tare

[@Controlled_Insanity_003]

Put the refinery ships on either end, with the solar array the only thing further out, and your new miner should stay as such. And you should put your solar array on a hinge/rotor to always point at the sun

[@michaelproberts1969]

time to build a grinding ship to start grinding those things down...lol

[@lordrodney-oldschoolgamer9106]

Pirate toilet! 😂

[@pularis1629]

I just had I dumb idea. What if you mixed the new haul ass ship with the RV by slapping the RV on the side that’s looks less aerodynamic. Then you can have a relatively big ship that can actually fight if you modify it properly(that includes changing some blocks to heavy armor)

[@flowahpawah5397]

Using the old ships turning them into a base could be cool!

[@flowahpawah5397]

Also, your ship wouldnt be airtight as your cockpit was ditached, wich you fixed shortly after 😅

[@Guh1234-p4b]

The AI defensive block is only for flight controls (to automatically fly it away from enemy ships) you dont need it for turrets

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

it helps extend the range the AI picks up enemy's. Normal is only 800m, but with the AI block (Either defensive or offensive) you can use the target lock function to extend the range the turrets will pick up enemies to the guns full range. Unless they've changed it recently that is...

[@jamestaylor9887]

it extends the range of their firing. so they aren't needed, but they provide way more than just a flight benefit

[@OfficiaINebula]

[@Galerak1]

@@SurvivalBobGaming Don't know since the update, I've not connected to any neutral grids since then I don't think. I'm not saying it always happened, just enough to be annoying lol

[@arcamean785]

Well that's annoying I guess comment got AI nuked? Didn't think I said anything naughty go figure (if it just got caught in the interwebs I'll delete this later). What I tried to say was to use a 12x12 section of the base to create an alternating grind/weld floor spaced with each row by some open walkways. That would help in the building of a "Barking Bob" aka battle barge similar to the flak barges of WWII but instead of one side having pew pews both do. (maybe it was using the G word instead of pew pew yt dislikes?)

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

@@arcamean785 I need to get something going like that if I want to speed this thing up.

[@williamaycock579]

Sadly I had to ditch my copypaste world. I started having issues with grids disappearing randomly and some other things kept breaking in odd ways. Not sure what I did but I kept my original saves and just reverted. Wasn’t too much time wasted.

To take over grids with cooperative takeover you need to place a control block like a helm on the grid
