arrons voice in an official SE video is so cool

[@zackzeed]

Wasn't he from LSG?

[@NirateGoel]

It does raise the question though why, what's happened to Xoc?

[@bagofsunshine3916]

@@NirateGoel Xoc is still there ofcourse, will probably be in the stream aswell on the 17th.

[@LyingTube]

That threw me for a second, thought I'd clicked on the wrong video.

[@박재현-n3s1e]

Just imagine something we would make with 25cm sized rotor, hinges and piston. Mechs will be extraordinary.

[@akaSanka89]

I really hope there's a block variant for each size

[@echomande4395]

I''m hoping we get at least 4 sizes of hinges, pistons and rotors. 25cm, 50cm, 150cm and 250cm would be nice. In addition I'm hoping for both standard height pistons (1:1:2 lwh) and stubby (1:1:1 lwh) pistons, with all pistons extending to 3x their collapsed height (as in SE1). I'm also hoping that all rotors, pistons and hinges get the ability to create the heads of all their smaller siblings (I want ball turrets).

[@Raso719]

[@dread_mechanic]

This is my biggest hope for the new grid system!

Tiny security cameras in our hallways.

[@Somber.Killer]

"Just Grid" definitely needs to be put on Space Engineers merch. I would totally buy that lol

[@haydenTenno-]

What would it be in the form of? On a shirt or a couple cushioned blocks with Velcro on all sides?

so great to hear him!

yeah also thought he did quit

[@jmpr3580]

Nah just most of his moderator team

[@thephoenixknight0521]

The hype levels are maximum capacity. Also Salutations Arron!

[@stavinaircaeruleum2275]

Saying it right now, when modding support comes, people are going to make thrusters the size of that smallest block and then we're gonna have micro drones.

[@AshesToVices]

Can't wait to release a mod pack with overpowered 25cm weapons, thrusters, batteries, etc.

[@delindsay]

As a new player to SE1 about 3 weeks ago, I'm so hyped for SE2 and this feature is fantastic!!

[@LukusMaxamus]

Its last stand gamers!!

[@thelightsilent]

I would like Survival mode to come out sooner tbh but still awesome cant wait!

[@SayaNyoOne]

I thought I accidently clicked on one of LSG's vids, but then looked at the channel and felt so confused for a solid minute.

[@TheMNWolf]

Lol, so classic watching the red ship crash through the blue ship.

[@creeloper27]

Last Stand Gamers on official Space Engineers guide!? This is so cool! Such a cool idea! Would love to see more of these voice acted by more content creators from the Space Engineers community! This is so cool and nice!

[@Comicsluvr]

My only concern (because this looks AMAZING!) is how it will affect performance. Building a large ship from small grids know can be a performance hit because the game has to track the grids but what about the UGS? If it helps performance because many small grids form one large one, that can be huge in my quest for 1:1 scale ships like the Galactica or the Enterprise.

[@deeraz]

I would venture a guess that they have a super efficient way of handling something like that. As in, if you were to say build a large "thin" floor out of 25cm cubes, instead of using the 2.5m cubes, it would be much more performance friendly than doing it in the current system (probably not as efficient as the 2.5 cubes), but still pretty fast. With that said, greebling the bejesus out of a ship or a station will most likely still have performance impact but much less so than in SE1. Also, I'm thinking that in SE1 it's not just the tracking of the small grid blocks that adds overhead, but just tracking of two grids attached together that adds even more calculations, but in SE2 that wouldn't be an issue.

[@metazare]

It is really impressive that the new engine can do this. I'm not very creative when it comes to making ships. But knowing this community, we are fixing to see some amazing creations.

[@PocketRaptor]

Hey uhhh... dunno if you will see this, but adding black holes, quasars, pulsars, dwarf stars, etc... would be really awesome, especially a black hole. I would love to build a ship capable of exploring one, or atleast testing the boundaries of the 'event horizon'. If it's just a kill box I'd understand, but if we can create a special probe to deploy to extract whatever we can from the black hole, or even the pulsars or whatever, that would be amazing. Truly, exploring the galaxy.

[@PandemicPlayground]

No more Large Grid and no more Small Grid, just Grid! We can now build medium lol

[@Truth-Enforcer-UF-16]

Yea but Merged to Blocks

[@ankhthetoaster]

i swear if i wait any longer i will literally die I'm so excited for this game!!!

[@Airison]

I hope combat is overhauled in Space Engineers 2. Bigger guns, jammers, missile systems, more weapon variation overall, etc. Some cool tech like in Nebulous Fleet Command would be a great addition. Along with this I do hope the economy gets an overhaul. I have rarely used or needed the economy system in SE, and when you look at other games like Elite Dangerous, the world feels lacking by comparison. This begins to get into a problem I didn't want to talk about but here I go: There really isn't a whole lot to do in SE besides building ships for the sake of building them. What is there to truly explore and do besides base building? Nothing is a necessity, and I hope that changes. All planets offer a similar enough challenge, and all hold relatively the same resources. If you start in space you have it all. The only remedy I've seen as a good start was proto-tech, something we have to actually build ships for to fight and progress, something to search for... I want to feel like I need to progress, feel a want and desire to do so, not just progress because "what else is there to do?" - All my worlds I've started with friends always fizzle out because when you truly ask the question of "why?" there really isn't an answer. Progression should be encouraged, along with exploration. I do hope others feel the same way.

[@jde-jj1lu]

Completely with you. Man I wish weapon ranges were increased as well as some form of radar… that took into account size and shape of objects and maybe even a new resource that we could make armour blocks that have stealth attributes

[@Blitzkrieg_Wolf]

I've been cooking up some decent designs in SE1 lately, I'm absolutely dying to see what I can come up with in SE2!

[@SebSenseGreen]

Wait wait wait, I was confused, I thought I clicked on the wrong video when Arron started speaking. I was on my phone the first time, thought nothing of it, now I'm back home on my desktop and see the "Space Engineers" name and said to myself "Ah! yeah that the one I wanted to watch but misclicked, I'll watch it now". Now, I just re-watched the same video. lol, good on you!

[@Ssidistik]

I'm getting excited. Really exCITED. SO EXCITED!

[@BackwoodsNomadic-Shawn]

❤❤❤ one of the things i hated in SE was trying to drop that small grid landing gear on my large grid base's ship factory. Never could seem to get it to drop right! 😆 🤣 😂 This news is SUPER cool!!! ❤❤❤

He always was

[@AegirBuildsAndBeats]

Looking forward to getting lost in the details!

[@augurseer]

this makes me happy

[@Arcanidge]

So Great to Hear Arron here officially now. My only question is will the new grid system resolve the old issue where projectors couldnt handle subgrids? if so its technically double revolutionary

[@theclaym00re]

Interesting to see what is your solution to current SE1 subgrids? Will they function the same?

[@kgb1234]

No subgrid, just grid grid

[@KptKosmit91]

I assume it will be the same as now, except it won't matter if you have a small grid head or a large grid head since there's just a unified grid now. Maybe we'll have multiple head sizes to choose from

[@AceTheBirb]

​@@KptKosmit91 my best assumption will be different rotor head types, with and without conveyors

[@thehungergames51]

God this looks awesome! I hope it joins SE1 on xbox some day

[@Kareszkoma]

Finally. Comprehensible wall sizes! Finally a wall is a wall, not 1m thick.

[@PrimeAtlas231]

I'm so excited! I got the alpha preordered three weeks ago!

[@scorpionkingv4236]

Hoping that rotors and hinges are on release or at least on an upcoming slice. The potential for mechs, rovers and factory robots looks great.

[@Jasperpep]

Hoping we get functional blocks that are scaled to the 25cm blocks (Think like, micro thrusters, micro warheads) Imagine the terror of tiny drones.... You could also make tiny missiles...

[@ChozoSR388]

Two weeks to go!

[@arcalen9233]

This is great!

[@concolor]

I'm boarding the hype train RN :)

[@fastertrackcreative]

It reminds me of the Chisel and Bits mods for Minecraft that allows the player to break blocks down into mini blocks. I can imagine players making statues in the manner of Minecraft player statues.

[@Somber.Killer]

Last Stand Gamers?! That's awesome! I hope to see tons of SE2 content on your channel!

[@CommanderHuggins]

Alright Space Engineers 2, you’ve got my attention hehe

Wild guess but I'm sure, the community will stick to something like Large grid, Small grid and Tiny grid.

Guys we need to make Advertisements ourselves for SE2 so we have more Players and Support

Hearing Arron's voice in a SE video without his usual introduction is unsettling to me :|

I am getting the game ! because I love the 1st one and I love space games o7

[@iO-Sci]

The blocks are serene and I'm thinking cubic. 블록이 고요해서 큐빅이라고 생각합니다.

[@VictorStumm]

but we cant substract 25 cm blocks from the bigger ones, that is my main problem

[@donaldpetersen2382]

The game is not listed on your Steam publisher page, can only find it by searching.

[@Black5heep_]

Ladies, this time SMALLER IS BETTER. :)

[@F4ngel]

All Hail Clang 2.0

[@romain5967]

noticed that when placing the 0.25m cube, it was called a "detailing cube" not just an armor block. Could this suggest that 0.25m size won't have any functional blocks, and it will just be for detailing? one of the things I was looking forward to was tiny 0.25m scale thrusters to make very small drones and spread RCS around for small ships.

[@dskpnk]

Retroactive dlc's ? I really hope for it !

[@WiseRiese]

one of few reasons why most people in SE1 with potato PC choose to build with large grid instead of small grid is because of how much you get from how much PCU you give... back then 1 large grid armor block equals 125 small grid armor blocks, which translates to 1 PCU VS 125 PCU I'm curious of how the PCU distribution would be in SE2

[@Kaijudomage]

[@crazyalex62]

Anyone else pre-order the second they heard about SE2?

[@kacperh6]

This time Xoc isn't talking? Wow that's new

[@frumpkin9282]

I still wish there was size between 0.5m and 2.5m. The gap is just so massive.

[@warlocc-paul]

It's still better than what we have now, admittedly.

[@WardenWolf]

I sincerely hope they don't wait so long to add at least some decoration blocks as they did in SE1. It was WAY overdue when they finally did it. I don't have a problem with waiting for all the stuff in SE1 as long as some decoration stuff trickles in along the way and doesn't just wait until the end. A bed, and a toilet / bathroom. Those are the essentials. Give us those and we can wait for the rest.

[@davidetuzzo8557]

I personally really enjoy building "architectonical" elements in my ships. They are all huge as they are LGs. I am very exhited about the level of details that will be achievable with 25cm blocks. What kind of inlaid ceilings will my flying cathedrals have? Would actual mosaics be feasable? What about detailed statues? How about trees? Send help.

[@cmdrmiketv2698]

Does this mean LSG is an official employee?

[@Pulse10201]

[@capslfern2555]

they did make an entire new game engine so yea pretty much

[@Somber.Killer]

They did. It's Vrage3 now.

[@exilestudios9546]

You would think but there is already a unified grid mod on the workshop lol

[@jackomr2717]

❤❤❤

[@capslfern2555]

ill wait a bit for reviews, dont want something like ksp 2, if its good ill buy it

[@dzunepwnsipod]

I think 25 cm is a bit too chunky. Large grid blocks are 250 cm. Medium blocks power 50 cm, 1/5 of a large block. However the 25 cm block is only half of a medium. The small block should be 10 cm instead of 25.

[@JeffPedlow]
