Space Engineers - Convoy Dreadnought Massive Small Block Rover

[@unitgx488]

Thank you for doing a video on my rover, it was a large project to undertake and took a few months to complete. Originally the wheels were attached to a large grid block core that ran the full length of the vehicle but it took up a lot of space until I figured out how to get large grid 3x3s onto small grid 2x2 axles. After that it opened up everything below the hanger's floor for detailing and then they added small grid doors which finally allowed me to finish the project off. There is very little space that was not actually used for something, and yes there is an interior hydrogen thruster pack located on the bottom deck behind the storage hall walls under the hanger. This was almost required because going from large axles to small axles, they did not have sufficient power to move a 1,000,000 mass vehicle since they are intended to normally move something the size of one 3x3 large grid wheel. The fuel saver will turn these thrusters off after reaching a similar speed as the speed governor which that prevents the vehicle from going too fast and wrecking itself. The AA gun on top is not directly controllable as it requires a designator turret (which was a supergrid interior turret stuck on top of the turret) and it will auto track targets as long as it has an AI turret in its terminal group. And yes all of the terminals have Windows 95 running on them, except for the one located in the office on the desk which has a robocraft reference in remembrance of the game I originally built it in. I also had a brake light script in initially but some update to how Keen handled LCDs made them have a several second delay when turning on and I could not figure out how to get around it.

[@Eforest1]

Yeah i REALLY like this, I may use this style of design(and small blocks) to make my bottomless mining rover.

[@spunts144]

Your rover is such a day dream to look at! I especially love the storage area in the rear. You've given me all the encouragement I need to build large small grids :D

[@TheSekki76]

You make a such incredible work all the detail are really smooth and fit perfectly

[@jumbeat5327]

Those red things in the front arent tanks like he said. Right? They're filters for the "exhaust", aren't they?

[@dridri78630]

i've played the game since alpha, seen countless Aaron reviews, but this is really impressive. Well done!

[@R3LOADlikesgames]

I saw it and LITERALLY said: HOOOLY MOLLY. It has a great amount of detail and an amazing size to it. And those guns...mmmmh

I'd hate to see what they're piloting

[@KOSMOS1701A]

if this is a convoy escort vehicle, i'd love to see the size of the vehicles its built to escort.

[@kre8or465]

I was actually imaganing it transporting smaller craft, just imagine this thing traveling surrounded by like 6-7 smaller rovers half its height.

[@AceOfBlackjack]

Horsey! I actually want your profile picture, can you link it? If not just tell me what I should search.

[@wildwesternaustralian4357]

8:20 "too bad its not an actual seat" aye i can just imagine if the devs came up with a thin little interactable piece to just place on any armour block and make that as a little seat. that would be cool

[@captivechicken5943]

It even had a sign saying mes bay lmao if u look hard enough also when he said oh it must lock the door he was literally looking at the landing gear that locks the vehicles it was in the box with the button on it lmao

[@Quantum-Bullet]

7:48 it's literally where you are looking, where the button are: the "blue" landing gear.

[@srg08]

Yup while he was talking I was thinking of the same thing.. so I went from LMAO to ROFL went he move on after the question.

[@engineersullivanhunter5574]

Wow. My only complaint is having all the blood go to my head in the cryo bay.

[@ToaDrakua]

I doubt that'll be issue once you've become a popsicle.

[@mr.puffin7232]

Technically your blood freezes over in a cryopod so is wouldn't be too much of a problem as long as your quick about it

[@aabry7108]

Did you know that you can die if you stay too long upside down (5h)

[@Daniel-hq7hm]

I was visibly shaken when he misread the remote control block as "Turn Left Control," at 10:29 then proceeded to search the other seats for "Left Turret Control"

[@randymotter51]

Looks awesome, though it is hard to make any judgements about how the internal lighting looks when your character headlights are still on through the whole tour. I get the impression from the layout that the lighting would be somewhat dim and dismal, complementing its worn look perfectly. Nice showcase.

[@ShinForgotPassxXx]

how can you even have so much creativity in one person. I put some blocks together and call it done, just crazy amazing.

looks amazing! I don think the underside button for the lower lift needs to be moved though. You shouldn't be in danger when you hit the button.

[@kevintan3705]

I can imagine this thing guarding a convoy like a pack mother. It’s so cool!

[@dambimbumbo7342]

i can hear an art major screaming "OCHRE" when he went yellowy orange

[@ArchFline]

I’m just concerned that one missle would blow the whole rover up. As it stand small ships blocks are flimsy a best, even if they are the heavy armor variant.

[@olive6942]

it seems like the Armour is quiet heavily layered in parts

[@williamstout6332]

I'm with you Stephen, gorgeous detailing, and it would take about 2 seconds flat to shred it with 4 Gatling guns in a square. I wish that armor had like a 50% health increase, at least for small grid

[@Seldion]

Them orange things aren't storage tanks, they are mufflers xD

[@Error-kb7dq]

Very nice. Auto jetpack on latter dismount is annoying.

[@viriatrix9874]

The script on those turrets is really smooth.

[@jacobmcneal8415]

Imagine having that convoy destroyer in both large and small grids, as well as having more space in the cargo area to store land and air vehicles on different decks. It would be a nice project to see but name its brother like "Convoy Battleship Carrier".

[@FireFoxBancroft]

Kind of a Star Citizen inspired build with how the interior and everything works.

[@nobob8564]

A top tier rover design! Very cool indeed!

[@carval51]

I though this literally the expeditionary vehicle, usually convoy escort just has weapon with not really amount of living space or storage other than ammo

[@oogityboogity6644]

Just started playing this bc of your vids or I saw you vids bc I just started playing this either way I just got to space for the first time and I binge watched ur videos during all the ship building down time nice vids

that is awesome

[@scatterbrain371]

Indeed

[@voltronik9141]

It's an absolute beast! And I would add a missile turret on the top of the rover.

[@SABaruj]

apparently we need little block toilets, kitchens, sofas and.. can u do something to delete those metal bars on every block?, empyrion galactic creations are much more customizable and i want space engineers to be cooler

[@CalfOnTheRun]

Metal bars?

[@God-xr4yu]

Hey Aaron you should try doing a Rover nomad/convoy server and see how it goes sort of like the anthill one but mobile. See how long and how others manage to keep bases mobile like mobile printer it'd be cool to see how the guys on the server manage it.

[@whitedawn2122]

How’d they get large grid wheels on small grid suspension? Super gridding?

[@ThePike]

there might be more than just the modded weapons, i looked up if there was a mod for it on the steam workshop, there is, :/ would be nice if it was vanilla

[@btCharlie_]

I think it's Build Vision 2. It has this pop-up menu where you can edit values for blocks by looking at them directly instead from an access point and you can also attach and detach rotor heads and piston heads (which is not possible in vanilla, unlike the rotors). I think Splitsie mentioned in his survival series that the same method for detaching/attaching piston heads can be used for small/large grid wheels.

[@KrysTheProtogen]

Those are 5x5 wheels.

[@KrysTheProtogen]

Sorry, my bad. Dont hate this, im dumb.

[@btCharlie_]

@@KrysTheProtogen No harm done. You're not dumb, I thought it was just the largest small grid wheels at first. It's not exactly a common sight this contraption 🙂

[@Ben-li9zb]

this makes me want to play the game with only land vehicles

[@johnboyne1]

that is one genius make

[@marekpastyrik1888]

with all the new blocks and block textures one could argue u get more detail and less blockyness using large grid blocks one also should argue this since one would be right

Kinda looks like the sky forge with the front gates and bridge above it

[@outerheaven155]

Wait how did you climb the ladder through the door? Everytime i try this it pops me off the ladder below the door and I drop back to my starting position. I've had to put all the ladders so they are above the door and you just jump on then immediately jump off but i've had to start making door stops for security that move into the ladders path to make them impassable. Edit: Nevermind I see your jetpack activated at the last second. I've got automatic jetpack activation modded out on my game. Does that mean all the Ladder/ door combinations on this vehicle are useless without Jetpacks turning on and catching you at the top?

Personally, I think they should get rid of ships using big blocks in SE2. If they can better optimize using small grids, I'd prefer having to make ships with small blocks.

Wouldn't use the P button to park advanced ships/rovers like that, if you do it will disconnect all connectors also, which could have made the rear hangar door unlock/fall down. It's just general bad practice.

[@johnm9263]

Clipping doesn't do anything, but if you are clipping a subgrid... that's a whole new can of worms. The wheels also aren't perfectly spherical nor are they cylindrical, they are an elliptical spheroid (elliptical from the side, circular from straight on to the hub) If you don't believe me, get in the game and stand on one, walk around a bit.

[@crockett5]

How do you get such large wheels on a small grid?

[@bellidrael7457]

Leave it to Laststand to completely exaggerate things. 2 turrets, an AA gun, and fuel tanks out in the open BEGGING to be shot so they can pretty much detonate the entire thing. Let's call it a DREADNOUGHT! Not something more appropriate like, "Great Ball of Fire", which it will become after taking 1 shot. And as usual he's as clueless as ever. "Where is this hangar lock?" The buttons are literally attached to it. Sees a button that says "Left Turret Control" and he goes "Alright that says Turn Left Control." 30 seconds later "Now, how do you control the turrets?"

[@badwolf5245]

how do you do the wheels?
