Skyke MK3: Small Ships 101 [Space Engineers]

[@joelmulder]

i've got 2000+ hours in the game, but this video still was very enjoyable to watch! The cinematography was amazing, and i'd love to see more videos in this style!

[@andrewcurtin7003]

while not clearing 2000 (about 500) i agree defiantly a nice video a good refresher

[@elishelton9412]

I don't even play space engineers and i liked this video :P

[@elishelton9412]

I do

[@nevanmasterson46]

I thought my 2000 hours all together spent on steam games was impressive/a waste of my time, but holy crap

[@OriginAlpha_]

I mean, someone with more experience in building won't need this guide. don't you think?

[@shurhaian]

Should probably have mentioned that you can't find platinum for ion thrusters on your starting planet... but I do like the thought process that went into this, overall.

[@danieljames1868]

Waaaiit. You don't need many gyroscopes on light ships? I suppose that explains why my first ship handled like a caffeine addict...

[@LiamVlogs]

Daniel Ullrich hahahah lol 😂

[@cgrubb1230]

+L & J Do Stuff i made a ship and its "armour" was gyroscopes and it turned into well idk what to call it(150ish gyros)

[@CrazyDutchguys]

yeah you dont really need more than 2 on a light ship.

[@gijser6813]

James Daniels mine was on steroids

[@nilz1007]

Ive been in the game for quite a bit, and i still make that mistake, I remember a ship i spent about 3 hours on i put too many gyros, that when i took off it started spinning so fast half of it smashed into my landing pad

[@gedrot2486]

I really like the idea of the rocket-launchers doubeling as a self-destruct mechanism. But it's a really nice looking ship :)

[@sorrrbet4923]

I saw that and baulked too.

[@deetchy5311]

I saw the two ports and realized that he was just dangling his ass in front of disaster with a cherry on top.

[@surprise2208]

If your legitimately trying to prevent ship capture, a warhead by the hydro tank works a charm - factions server player

[@Axodus]

Bonus points if you have a programmable block that you activate before battle that detects if the player dies and detonates automatically.

[@ip22oo]

@0:46 The narrating is so brilliant it sounds like a BBC Top Gear Review

[@DT-hb3zu]

It was. Did you SEE that ship?

[@DAAI741]

ion thrusters do add thrust in an atmosphere, but a very small amount.

[@rejest05]

30% of what they add in space.

[@fakshen1973]

Ions produce 30% at the worst case scenario on the Earthlike planet. Atmospherics Peter-out around 10,000 meters or so while there is about 40,000 meters in the entire gravity well.

[@zacharyhutchison4006]

My favorite thrust strategy atm is to have almost enough ions to hover at sea level and just a few atmospheric thrusters to level off the thrust profile and provide payload capacity at low altitudes. This way I can power a craft entirely with electricity and still go to space. The sheer volume of up thrusters also allow for an insane turning radius in space.

Yeah, I realized looking back on my tutorials that I jumped straight into the complex bits of SE. I wanted to return to tutorials and make something for new players.

[@LordBalkanYm]

It's a great looking ship!

[@83xjustin]

When will the RP series be coming back?

[@Man-O-Little-Tan]

One of the first vids i watched about how to build stuff, been two years since i started playing its nice to look back at stuff i watched after 2000+ hours in game

[@iPodCharger69420]

ok

[@katzen3314]

Would like to see the ship design video too.

[@elijahstone6124]

Holy hell this intro, felt so professional, TV quality. Dang son I come back to this. Wow. Good job.

[@aracuron9956]

Very good narration, even for non native speakers. I needed not more than 3 sentences, to k ow I could follow this. Now watching the full video.

[@unOrdinaryBlue]

Ik you will probably never read this cause this video is like two years old, but i just wanted to thank you for making this video. before i was just about ready to quit playing, i got board of doing nothing but crashing spawned in ships in creative and i had no clue how to build anything at all! the best i could do is slap on a reactor and randomly place ion thrusters. But because of this video i didn't quit and learned how to make ships AND make them look good, you really opened up the door for me to this amazing game that i now play daily. Thank You.

[@loganfrandrup6590]

Thank you so much. I have been embarrassing my self in front of my friend who is actually an engineer and I am just starting. This will help me a lot for making ships and I already have some cool ideas. FYI: I think this new ship that you built to show how it's done, looks cool to me.

[@errickjijon9618]

Very new to Space Engineers and this video helped curve my jaw drop a bit. Best video for Space Engineer newbies I have seen so far. Thanks so much for spending the time to make this!

[@PREPERMIKE2012]

I did a search to find a tutorial on Building a small Block Ship off a large Block Station and came to your video. Yes it is almost 3 years old and SE has changed some. I would love to see an update to videos like this one.

[@DarkestMirrored]

I've been playing for ages, but seeing your methodology is very inspiring!

[@stargatetitanx]

there really needs to be a 101 space engineers series

[@damienschneider3607]

Brand new player here, and your video was pretty awesome. Thanks for making it

[@Dark-Lord-Of-The-Sith]

So glad to see you back doing SE tutorials! You and W4sted helped me so much and kept me in SE for 1000+ hours! LOL

[@MarkusGlesnes]

Am I the only one that loves the old textures, the smooth and not so detailed ones? Well, in my opinion, I LOVE the old smoother textures.

[@stormbornstudios]

so glad to see a new SE tutorial. You make THE best SE tutorials on youtube imo, Morph!

[@dr.birbmd7266]

Enjoyable video. Please do show us more of the creative process you employ, it's always nice to see how other engineers create there ships. This was an excellent video that had an almost academy crash course feel to it. I will be showing my friend who is new to the game this video.

[@michelles.3835]

Looking at this in 2020, still cool video. I forget how different SE used to look. It's kinda aesthetic in a retro sort of way.

[@6shnuggle6]

Great vid. Best I found so far on creating a 'simple' ship. I'd like to have seen more on fuel though. Thanks! Awesome stuff.

[@boinkydoinky492]

Just bought space engineers a couple days ago and your video still saved me from building cubes

[@AndrewBrice]

okay, props on your editing :) this was a good introduction to building ships for me.

[@kru680]

Thanks so much! I couldn't find out how to build a ship in beta and this really helped...

[@zorndy5750]

great vid bro You taught me alot in 21 mins!

[@cemmaster]

Very good explanation. Thanks.

[@takealooksee]

Thank you for making these Morph! Just started SE yesterday and this video really helps !! Time to hit the drawing board :D

[@guilhelm0478]

I have a few hundred hours in the game and I still found this to be enjoyable. I would like to see a video on your general thought process when it comes to adding the armor though. That is the only thing that I have the most trouble with.

[@johnriso4323]

I have successfully landed on a planet with out destroying the lander also built my first rover. This video is a big help, thank you.

[@madog221]

it's now 2020 I feel as though this video needs to be updated for modern space engineers (please keep in mind this is still a great video

Great vid! Your ship looks so rad, beautiful design.

[@jamescollins4020]

This was a great video and very helpful to new players! Thanks!

[@blakekelly4547]

wow dude, incredible video quality

[@ltraven6262]

good to see morf doing vids again

[@TauryCZ]

I would definitely like to see more videos like this.(Tutorials, guides atc.)

[@SpaceSoups]

Something I made for myself, a checklist for small ships. Requirements: Landing gear (Just drop it down) Cockpit Power (battery or reactor) Gyro antenne Container(s) Oxygen tank (space) and/or Vent (Atmosphere) - Place on cockpit port, enter, press K, find vent, depressurise: ok) Weapons Conveyors / connectors Thrust: ion (space), atmospheric (atmosphere) or Hydrogen (both, req. hydrogen tank) - Ion/atmospheric in all axis

[@iPodCharger69420]

just write it down in notepad

[@billyhyde1415]

Really nicely put together video, and a nice clear tutorial. I love ugly ships, though.

[@Prich319]

I recently made a shuttle that uses atmo and ion thrusters only. It got down from my spacedock to the planet I started on well enough, though I had to revise it a little bit due to it wanting to pitch up, now comes the fun part: whether or not it can get back into space.

[@lemarchedesbananes8082]

Wow this is the best video on KZbin

[@AfloatFob]

That is one beautiful ship...

[@anthonykf99]

i've played a lot of space games, E:D, Starmade, Avorion, Starbound, ect, ect... I've put off Space Engineers for awhile now, but it looks really amazing, this is one of very few videos I've watched of SpaceEngineer, including SovietWomble. I'm now going to get it, it looks like StarMade with less customization ships, and a better engine. I'm pretty excited ;)

[@wazabiqc]

Nice video ! Now I have a nice flying beancan with thrusters on each side ! :D Gotta work on my design creativity.

[@kabagaida9744]

19:53 If I have to be honest... the ship doesn't look bad! I actually like it XD

[@0ebk0]

awesome video morph

[@Veptis]

awesome video production.

[@JShel14]

Man you've gotten so good at cinematography in this game. I'm loving it man, and also love your architect reviews for Star Citizen!

[@darkshadowsx5949]

nice i didn't know you can depressurize atmosphere for oxygen. that earned you a like. i havent spent much time on planets mostly space. that and i should do components before armor...

[@Forcemaster2000]

Nice video, but I think you should have pointed out that in "survival", you won't be able to build Ion thrusters until you reach space, since they require platinum and you can only get it in space (other than meteor impacts which are glitchy and only provide a miniscule amount).

[@LeadedHen]

this vid was really helpful I subbed

Did I watched a home shopping program... BTW what a great rig u have.

[@saykey860]

Dude this video was amazing I love this tutorial thanks! The explanation was amazing!

[@spencb1417]

hi morph just wanted to thank you for taking the time to put the tutorial's out. I find tutorials like yours and w4sted as well as few others I have come across really helpful when building in game. I'm still new to actually playing se had it sitting on my steam until I could find away to get it to run on my laptop (lol so low end that I don't even meet the min to run it smooth but still run's) but any way just wanted to thank you and the other veteran player's that take the time to answer questions and help us new plays out.

[@MRWALLFan]

To show you the power of Flex Tape, I sawed this Skyke(TM) in half!

[@jamesgriffiths4944]

this video really helped me cuz I'm new to the game now I can try to make non minecrafty ships!

[@KatilCivciv999]

great video.i bought the game 2 days ago and only played for 3 hours.the ship i tried to build was a disaster.hopefully,i might be able to built a real ship that actually flies now.

[@ZanyScum]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@hollowvoices1268]

For the power issue, grouping all similar thrusters and powering down the ones you don't need will take care of that.

[@shmath6482]

Thanks morphologis

one of my first space fairing ships flipped and burned to land... worked perfectly... apply enough thrust and you can do anything lol

[@StubsMalone]

This was such a great video! I think it will help some of the new players a lot

[@pandapies8830]

I know I’m late, but thanks for the tutorial!

[@Cruzz999]

If you're going to make the ship survival ready, and not use reactors since uranium is scarce, it may be relevant to point out the differences between survival and creative. Like the lack of reflection mode.

[@kasonbryden9817]

Great video Morph :) always good stuff!

[@YipperX5]

My algebra teacher said it best. "Forgot your homework huh? Well it sounds like you are SOL! Sorta outta luck" He was super positive always. Every day was a happy day! "Happy (blah)day!"

wow, nostalgia graphics. This is interesting to see

[@TheUnionBlues]

I would love to see an episode on aesthetics!

[@nono-ey8lx]

Ok one thing to look out for: don’t use antennas use beacons unless you are making a drone. Antennas take twice as much energy for sometimes less broadcast

[@Cynos_3D]

Nice tutorial Morph, i didn't know you could put a vent on the cockpit to supply it with O²

[@emperorjoe5631]

The vents can also fill the o2 tank when in atmosphere.

really like to see how you design ships. I play 500+ hours Space Engineers but my ships still looking like flying bricks

what I usually do is look up ships from sci-fi series on the internet, and kind of roughly base my designs around that. Try that, see if it works for you

The music that starts when he talks about thrusters is called Rotations by Friends With Animals.

[@honeyy79]

Morphologis.. You make it sound so simple. I tried to build my own ship but it does not take off lol. Im pretty sure im missing something since im *trying* to make a mining ship for my survival. Could you make a tutorial in detail how to make such ship? A minimalistic one coz its quite hard to get resources when you are running around by foot :P Thanks so much for these vids. You have no idea how much help this is to me :) Much love.

[@CrazyDutchguys]

then it either doesnt have enough power, or it does not have enough thrust. Drills are pretty heavy and make your ship require more thrust in order to stay up.

[@killer13324]

14:24 you could have put a junction on the small port on the rear of the connector and used small conveyor tubes keeping tight to the ship's form to connect to the sides of the hydrogen tank. It tucks most of the tubes in giving more leeway for the final shape.

[@tropicalhorizongaming5459]

I doubt you'll see this comment: But I really enjoyed this video. It helped me out as Im starting on Xbox. I really like the way you design your ships as well. (Your voice is also great for these kind of vids)
