Space Engineers 2 Playermade Missile Damage Model Tested on Ship

[@KristianPrice-e7i]

I tried that yesterday and the new physics is much more realistic and less broken. We will have to try other methods to harness Lord Klangs power.

[@LucaTheGuide]

Clang shall always be present u wu

[@Ravioli638]

idk everything seems almost too strong

[@TheArled]

Keen: V1 is for the builders among the players, to get familiar with the new build tools! Luca: Let's try to make a weapon!!! OwO

[@LucaTheGuide]

xD ♥ but is an important test u wu

[@GodKitty677]

Wow thank god, back to normal heavy blocks.

[@LucaTheGuide]

Back from what xD

[@Sinpsycle]

I like the blocks returned message.

[@LucaTheGuide]

Yeah they might be useful c= especially on multiplayer survival to tell when something happens to your grids without having to check the PCU limit or the info tab x3

[@endeyfire]

im very happy things are much sturdier.

[@LucaTheGuide]

Ye u wu pretty bouncy too xD

[@Gafferman]

I actually love the idea that we can focus LESS on general damage from collisions and environment and more on actual weaponry.

[@LucaTheGuide]

Now that Gafferman mentioned it I can see that yeah c= but kinetic damage playermade weapons are fun though u wu ♥

[@corwinhyatt519]

Ricocheted? That's an nice addition.

[@LucaTheGuide]

It was almost like a reflection than ricochet but ye xD

[@themidnightbanshee5927]

Looks like our blocks have finally become more durable. Now do a crash test

[@LucaTheGuide]

Ye xD and I should u wu might wait for things to get more robust for that though x3

[@appuser]

Yeah I love how you can now nuzzle ships safely now

[@AngronIsAngry]

it appears the armor is armoring how refreshing

[@mz00956]

I hope they will make the explosive damage better, so that it actually has to destroy or damage stuff like armor, before ripping apart the insides of my ship

[@minortoterona2947]

considering that blocks not just evaporate but "ablate" now, need bigger\or multiple impacts %)

[@LucaTheGuide]

Hmm, thinking if that makes it less practical to use PMWs since we'll need more of them then xD

[@minortoterona2947]

@LucaTheGuide well, things might change around a bit a lot, we cant say anithing for sure %)

[@Tiniuc]

Maybe have elastic piston clamp arms to grab and lock the drill in place, then extend the drill into the ship in one continuous motion?

[@Ihsnetad]

With a unified build system, will it be more efficient to build spaced "small" armor than "solid" big block armor?

[@Peoples_Republic_of_Cotati]

Are you able to test SE2 on Linux?

[@LucaTheGuide]

I don't have Linux sorry u wu I think I saw comments of people getting it to work during the livestreams though x3 but I'm not sure >

[@rivenarchon333]

If this is an effort to make warheads actually useful, I'm all for it. If this is a move to make player made weapons useless, then that is sad.

[@zackbobby5550]

This doesn't look useless by any means, these are relatively small projectiles punching completely through large armor blocks. They're just not completely splitting a ship in half like they did in SE1 lol.

[@LucaTheGuide]

I think it might just be how the new game and physics engines are without either of those being the intent xD not sure though

[@rivenarchon333]

@@zackbobby5550 As I said, a move to make player made weapons useless. By that I mean is Keen trending towards further nerfs.

[@zackbobby5550]

@rivenarchon333 Except this isn't a move to make player made weapons useless. I'd argue it's not even a nerf, it's just a better physics engine.

[@rivenarchon333]

​@@zackbobby5550You're arguing semantics. Okay...they aren't making 'moves', they aren't 'nerfing', but they have made decisions which, intentional or not, have severely impact the effectiveness of many PBW designs. And I would be willing to bet that meta bricks haven't received an equivalent reduction in competitive performance, either directly or indirectly, by the decisions made regarding the overall balance of the game or it's updated physics engine.

[@zackbobby5550]

So far I love these changes. This damage looks much more satisfying to dish out and recieve. This is damage you could actually feasibly repair and continue. In SE1 it was far easier to just completely recycle a ship any time it took more than surface level damage. This still looks very useful. It also looks like you could cripple a ship without completely annihilating it which was also kinda hard to do in SE1. Pretty cool, we'll see what they do with it but it looks much more balanced.

[@Ariethefloof]

omg i wanna make a cluster drill missle

[@Ariethefloof]

use like landing gear to hold the drills down

[@LucaTheGuide]

xD on SE or SE2

[@Ariethefloof]

@@LucaTheGuide SE2

[@jcataclisma]

😵‍💫😵‍💫😱💥💥💥

[@LucaTheGuide]

Ye xD ♥ and hey jc x3

[@c3n5i]

where is my beloved femboi or tomboy's voice? just a bit at the end T.T neeeed more

[@TheMhalpern]

rather have them be harder to dodge, maybe warheads will be more useful when added

[@LucaTheGuide]

Oo good point, I wonder what kinda damage warheads and explosions might do on SE2 x3

[@TheMhalpern]

@LucaTheGuide well right now player made weapons in SE 1 aren't exactly practical, which is a shame. due to the speed cap, you've got plenty of time to react to them,

[@KristianPrice-e7i]

@@TheMhalpern yeah no more kinetic missles. They actually need explosives now.

[@Suzuki_Hiakura]

lmao. Already started xD
