Hello everyone! In today's video Omega and I will be building a light frigate from scratch. This is to show your the process we go through for building our ships, as well as some of the mistakes we make along the way. If you enjoyed please like and subscribe for more SE content!

Would love to e to see you do a small ship gone wild.

Yeah, sure

[@justindomer2966]

​@@dragonf1recdndoubles? Anything I build takes me hours of work to get right when I think it'll only be 30min, but I also build in survival so it takes a bit more time

This is exactly the SE content that I'm looking for.

[@yeetboiaug9615]

I think one of the hardest parts for new players is getting started on bigger ships. They usually stick to small grid for so long without getting better. Love this video

[@TheSkreeBat]

this is so true, nearly 1300 hours in and iv only built one large ship

[@avialibi5011]

This is EXACTLY, what i needed for a ship design tutorial, hearing you think out loud and watching you fiddle with things is amazing, ty for this so much

[@Variety_Pack]

"That's really quite a noice interior." *Has been staring at a fan for twenty minutes*

🤣🤣

[@jsbaker2795]

I didn't see you place a single battery, a few of those would come in handy, for a quick job you guys made a pretty nice ship!

[@LunarKolony]

We mentioned that towards the end, just saying basically you can replace as many armour blocks with batteries as you like. Thanks!

[@ytrtea1089]

Your intro is amazing and your videos never fail to help me remember that this is a game that requires time to learn and has skills that can be improved

[@LunarKolony]

Thank you! I'm 4.2k hours in, and STILL learning 😂

[@TheOofertaffy]

Bro makes better ships in an hour than I do in days 💀

[@VultyreRust]

Like actually 😭

[@pyxisdiv84]

Bro whenever I try to build a ship, I feel like I'm WAY too worried on protecting certain things. I always put stuff like hydro tanks, reactors and whatnot in the core of the ship so they don't blow up in combat. And then seeing you place hydro tanks on the balls made me consider life choices

[@pyxisdiv84]

AND THEN HE GOES AFTER TALKING ABOUT HOW IT MAKES SENSE he knows

[@danielancona5293]

I just watched all three (Miner, Hauler, L. Frigate) videos. I can make small ships reasonably well but watching the processes in these videos is definitely helpful. Started a new large ship in creative myself and it's turning out way better thanks to these.

[@spldge]

Please can you put this on the workshop Lunar, I love it!! Appreciate it might not be fully functional but its design is so good!

[@xelan8549]

More Content of this kind please, its fun and relaxing and inspiring Also you shoul've made the bow a little longer.

[@Cooldude-ko7ps]

With this ship I’d personally put a heavy armour beam attaching the aft engine pods to the main hull of the ship.

[@puroo1301]

Been looking for something like this for a good while. Thank you!

[@Rygertyger]

This is the video I need. I've played SE a while. I CAN build a ship, will it work? Yes. Will it be ugly as all sin and be an absolute brick? You bet.

[@Dracos_Productions]

Kinda hoping they do one for every type and variant of ship like a cruiser and heavy cruiser

[@thatoneguy8633]

I’ve been needing this. I have a wonky way of building ships, usually starting from engines to the front. Really helped me visualise how to start out with a ship

[@rasheedgregory3459]

I love the design of this ship. Still wish you would've published this and quite a few if not all the other ships you've built in these build series. They are really nice and give me some insperation on ship I wanna build.

[@Gummypuss]

Playing space engineers is like playing with a fucking Rubiks cube I swear to god I’ll be out here flipping and flopping twisting and turning trying to get my blocks all in a row lol!

[@sevyrsonpc4736]

Good work guys

[@LunarKolony]

thanks!

[@galdorofnihelm6798]

Really love this video, please keep it up, maybe make a cool strike fighter next or something like that, which could compliment this frigate

[@TurdleShell]

thanks for the hour of gamer noises and ship building. i've actually learned a thing here n there

[@Codality]

FINALLY SOMEONE IS NOT SPEEDING UP THE PROCESS

[@LoneWolf20213]

personally, when I make ships, I make sure there is enough room for moving around with thing's easy to assess and get to, almost as if you plan to live in them, which I think is realistic

[@LunarKolony]

Love an access shaft

[@marcusrichards6536]

This is absolutely fucking amazing I've been searching everywhere on how to build a functional ship. Just starting playing. I need a better understanding of the mechanics when building ships and how everything connects.

[@RavensDagger501]

Loved watching the build, but constantly going back into the G-menu to pick out an item instead of crtl-num-ing all of the parts drove me insane! Good build though! Looks like a blast!

[@TheStuff2007]

If you look at Lunar's toolbar, everything is backwards and his hotkeys for everything aren't the normal ones. I don't know why he doesn't use his Ctrl+1-9 toolbars, but I assume it's something related to that. It also drives me crazy he doesn't use them in any of his videos or series.

[@LunarKolony]

Im left handed, and ive just always built that way haha

[@RavensDagger501]

@@LunarKolony Yeah, after however many hundred hours, it would be impossible to do it any other way. I feel ya! (Still driving me insane though)

[@LunarKolony]

@@RavensDagger501 4000* hours 😂 unfortunately

[@TheStuff2007]

@@LunarKolony Do you think you could change things up and use the multiple toolbars instead of the G menu so you don't have to constantly replace things on your hotbar?

[@christoffer1973]

I know it's an old video. But it would be cool to see these build in a game play.

[@VultyreRust]

Made a 1hr video into a 30min video by putting it on 2x speed, very satisfying listening to a British guy talk about space ships and click on his keyboard in 2x speed 😭

[@andersuls7278]

Gives so much inspiration

[@scruffted]

I see your getting omega ready for joining the trinity lmao.... really nice ship, great video!!!! 😁

[@HeilTec]

Nice looking build. Down Thrusters are missing. If that is the only 'fatal' flaw it is easily corrected.

[@tellhimimeating9141]

The nacelles scream 'shoot me', you should fill them with covered thrusters rather than store h2 there. I think the main trunk of conveyance down the middle is another classic mistake. If you decentralized conveyance into a loop around the ship instead, you could also spread h2 along that loop and take care of both weaknesses at once.

[@eddietheeagle7376]

Can you post this on the steam workshop? Would love to use this in game!

[@steller630]

this kind of looks like something keen themselves would use

[@steller630]

hello me

[@luvollymew3932]

I know what I'm about to propose is a dumb idea but can someone rebuild this on small Grid Scale and put an SE-Plushie in as the Pilot on the bridge? If you then put a remote Control in it's not even that useless...if anyone does this, please give me a workshop link...

[@LunarKolony]

That actually sounds kinda neat

[@jimmyrowe2202]

I love this ship design but I’m having trouble turning it into like a starter ship because I really want to put a refinery in it and an assembler and change out the engines to ion because if I’m being honest I have no intentions of landing on a planet unless absolutely necessary

[@theprogrammer32]

like 5 months late but the vanilla alternative to half-stairs is the angled half-armor-panel.

[@LunarKolony]

Probably could have

[@Cooldude-ko7ps]

@@LunarKolony will you post this ship on the steam workshop? Any tips on how to get better at ship building? As I’m currently trying to refit that IMDC Callisto class carrier. I’m planning on hollowing it out for the refit (using a projector and welding the outer hull as it’s easier than pasting the BP in and hollowing it out), is it a good idea? Will the next video be the battleship/dreadnought warship guide?

[@lohostege]

How do y'alll quickly design so well, I can take a whole day and still make a bad design

[@LavaDa1shi]

They probably have a lot of practice and eventually just get used to the flow and get very efficient and eventually just learn what does and doesn’t go well where.

I don't know, I think it's more of a Corvette type deal. Seeing as it's only a single person ship, it could even be seen as a heavy fighter.

I think my biggest problem with building awesome looking ships. Is seeing one double door airlock and thinking "well that's 200 PCU gone" and wanting to rip my own hair out before adding any other doors

[@boopjackrex7598]

This is exactly how I design my ships but I lose inspiration halfway through when making large grid ships, I suppose I just prefer the larger amount of detail and such in small grid large ships

[@R3LOADlikesgames]
