Space engineers: Interplanetary missiles ("to the moon!" edition)

[@blackapollo9851]

Imagine reconning and seeing a bunch of missiles entering atmosphere and head straight for your base only to get back to base and see that an enemy fleet followed right behind the missiles

Bro, stop exposing my plans

[@exterminater267]

Now to find a server that allows scripts, but isnt being spammed with script abusers

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Now that is the real challenge.

[@wayfarerzen]

Thankfully I found this to be (relatively) painless to deal with by using Torch's Script Overheat system. Too much CPU usage (above a level the server owner can set) will literally fry the program block and damage it past functionality. It's even a bit twitchy with that, which in this situation is a good thing as it can curbstomp massive sudden spikes in usage too.

Wow that second missile crash was so cinematic.

[@copecg]

These are awesome man, have you thought about sticking a camera on the missile and remote connecting to it for a timelapse haha

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Could do! But then it would cut right at the best part (the one where it explodes and things go bonk)!

Love your builds mate, keep up the awesome work :D

Thank you

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Glad to see you enjoyed it!

[@americankid7782]

So from what I understand launch the Kinetic ones at major defensive turrets and hardpoints then launch the explosive one about 10-30 seconds after the last kenetic.

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

That is correct. You can launch any type but i would recomend to strike turrets or ships to make sure they can't bother you anymore. I personally mount an assault with something like an atmospheric cruiser with lock-on missiles, but potentially you can drop a few explosive clusters, then a few mobile turret towers, bunker busters, shard launchers, anything you want really, as long as they won't get shot down by turret fire imediately.

Finally somone makes pmws

[@leha9017]

This is awesome, i will definitely use it on my next ship Btw will this script work with other scripts like WHAM, so i'll be able to use it not only to destroy stationary targets but also in combat?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

You can! It takes a bit of setup to do so, and you will need to sacrifice some room for cameras and remote control for the missile's direct fire guidance. Currently working on such a thing which i may show in the next vid, which is going to be about going in depth about the arkanium industries mainframe.

[@robinb2286]

Great work! Now Im gonna play this game again and try to mess up my friends stuff with those babies. Thanks! ;)

Great work! Have you seen alysius easy homing lidar script ?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

I have, though the easy homing script is quite old and its features are limited, though its deployement commands are still unmatched

[@alebado8664]

@@mobiuscoreindustries do you plan working on simular script? Fire and Forget feature is awesome, but if missile looses it's lock, which can happen pretty easily, It will just drift in space. I wounder if it is possible to make missile try to raicast with carrier (torpedo launcher) cameras, if for example carrier is still lighting the target

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

@@alebado8664 already got really past that point thanks to some really smart coders. Video on the arkanium mainframe and it's missile guidance is underway, in the meantime you can see a quick demonstration of its abilities here streamable.com/s7t84q

@@alebado8664 unfortunately, this script is not ready yet. It's in heavy development and still has a lot of missing features. I will however make sure that there will be a tutorial up and a link provided as soon as it is the case.

can it reach as far as you want as long the thrusters on the missles have enough fuel?

Pretty much. That or they run into an asteroid during transit.

Can I use this to scatter Grav Generators into space to Create Ant-Jump Zones? Just a thought.

[@thejanadianking6122]

I thought that artificial gravity doesn't impede a jump drive, only planetary gravity. Unless you mean something else, other than Anti-Jump Zones?

[@hughtonne1775]

@@thejanadianking6122 The Spherical Gravity Generators operate on P-Gravity the same as the Plantes, as opposed to the usual Gravity Generators which are a kind of Linear Gravity and don't effect JumpDrives at all. I figured if you scattered some Spherical Grav Units crossed an area I could create something a kin to an Interdictor Class Star destroyer. Freezing up Jumpdrives and such.

[@A.Person.Who.Exists]

Can it be launched from a ship?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Yes! The missile is independant of the platform that carries it. The way it is launched is either manually (via inserting the coordinates into the argument of the program and running it) or automatically (by inserting coodinates into an LCD with the "launch" tag in its name, which will make missiles pick a coodinate into that list and launch to it.

[@GG64du02]

What s with the twerking ?

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

good question! this may be from the imbalance in thrust dispersion but the phalanx missiles just... do that... for no good reason.

[@GG64du02]

@@mobiuscoreindustries i thought it was done on purpose to get the stock thrust dampening effect to maintain cruise distance from the planet center....

@@GG64du02 Well the thing is that if it just stayed level with the ground it would do that regardless... there isn't really much of an explanation as to why it does that
