[@williamstout6332]

One note: Those large warheads appeared like they werent always exploding, might want to reconfigure the warheads with sensors to detonate at 5 meters or so. the impact still does damage, but not as much as the explosives could.

[@TheFakeGooberGoblin]

My main focus in this game is missiles so I’ll chime in a little here with some tips for warhead reliability. • Warheads unreliably detonate from collisions over 250mps • 5mx5mx5m Sensor on nose if warhead under 100mps is perferrable as noted by William • No half-armor blocks directly on warhead top (makes collision unreliable, especially if you use blocks like conveyor covers, not sure why) • if the missile hits sideways and not head-on, the crumple of the missile body might slow the warhead until it has decelerated too much to detonate on impact (assuming no sensor) • For missiles over 300mps-1000mps, 2-3 large grid blocks of scaffold above warhead typically fixes this as by the time the physics catches up it’s reached the warhead. Not sure on small grid. •Somehow… adding a gyroscope on top of warheads seems to make them reliable. Maybe it has something to do with the priority of critical components in collision calculations, I don’t ask too many questions. Basically slow to 100mps and add a sensor with a detonate function, or be prepared to tackle some goofy crumple physics.

[@lasuzzoeagle1]

So I’ve had space engineers for years. Since the beginning of beta. I’m pretty good at making small ships but I’ve always wanted to build a hug ship. But I’m always intimidated by the size because I start building and then it doesn’t look right. What is the best way to build a large capital ship? From the inside out? Or build the shell first then the inside.

[@jkjkrandom]

I usually start with the core feature of the ship, then the necessities, the the outside/engines

[@Frizzleman]

I start with a long spine of the ship, then I use artificial mass to simulate the completed ship and design the thrusters and add appropriate gyroscopes. Then I build large conveyor systems that ensure the ship is 100% functional and then I finish with the hangars, the bridge and the finishing touches like pressurizing the ship and adding the style to make it looks good but I often skip that step and just build a functional large ship and try to improve on every vessel I previously built making them bigger and more functional and more aesthetically pleasing to look at haha. Love this game so much.

this is such a good ship and meme, just bombard them with rocket missiles until you run out of thruster components, truly a weapon to surpass a Metal Gear

[@garrusvakarian4300]

This video inspired me to work on some of my own guided missile designs and countermeasures. limitations of Xbox means no scripts but so far the simple mass block design coupled with some warheads works beautifully. the best part is that you can either load them into a "rail gun" or create a sort of mine with them due to their attraction towards gravity generators. as for counters to this design I personally like to use two spherical generators with negative (outwards) projection, its quite fun to see a mass block missile be denied and sometimes flung back at your enemy!

[@Gottaculat]

Easy LIDAR Homing Missile script is pretty badass. Being able to lock-on at 5Km and have all antennas off is pretty sick. I also use the script to deliver care packages with pin-point accuracy from orbit to bases on planets.

[@GeneralPadron]

This is a fantastic SE missile destroyer. Well done!!

[@christopherg2347]

Asuming the 50m sensor range limit still applies, the big issue is guiding it close to the target. Missiles operate in 3 modes: Launch, Proximity Guidance, Final Guidance (sensor range). Theory on how that guidance works: The camera sub-ship. After the missile enters remote guided mode (exited launch mode), the missiles try to match their orientation to that of the camera designator. Once it comes within 50m of the target, the sensor itself can take over guidance (Final Guidance). You can change the sensor field with scripts, giving you all kinds of measurements even with a single sensor. At least in theory, I never even managed to simplify my distance sensor down to that. If that is how it works, I see barely any way to de-script it. The last leg guidance in general and the proximity guidance in particular look like they would require Scripts. I am also not sure how the orientation data is transfered. Would require antenna, but I saw none on those missiles.

Idea for craft: Mothership has a few automated assembling lines where it builds rockets, then they automatically moving to starting points, fueling and launching. Process can continue until resources end.

[@marrqi7wini54]

Great idea! Me personally I always had an idea for such a warship in a hard sci-fi. A vessel who's sole purpose is to launch missiles or drone fighters. As it is it's only purpose it doesn't truly need a permanent crew, artificial gravity (Artificial gravity is done by spin or thrust by most habitable vessels but must be of certain size and have slightly more complex components.), or living space. Just some interior space so maintenance and inspections can be done when needed. Even then, there could be floating/magnetically locked drones that are in the interior of the ship to make sure it functions day to day. There are drones can mine material and drones to help with some slight maintenance, repairs and updates. Also the ship can have its own automated assembly line to manufacture weapons by itself. Basically systems to keep the ship self sufficient for periods of time.

[@Gottaculat]

If you mean H2 missiles, the Easy LIDAR Homing Missile script already lets you do this. You can build off a merge block, and have a connector lined up. It will fill up on fuel, and then you can launch it. You can also do 2 stage launching where the missile is blasted out of a bomb bay (vs a silo) with small thrusters, and after a second or two, the small ones turn off, and the main thruster ignites. I use this for my super low-profile (only 12.5m thick) smuggler ship. The bomb bay is only 3x2x4, but can blow a missile out 30m from the ship, and packs a punch powerful enough to blow a 25m hole through a light armor ship. The homing ability is also so good it can shoot down nimble fighters attempting to evade, and even has a failsafe so if it has a near miss, it'll detect the near miss and airburst, still getting the hit.

In theory you could create a missile with lots of sensors (might need a sensor range mod?) which controls gyros to gradually wiggle toward a target. I tried once but didn't get much progress and found it a bit frustrating, maybe someone who is a better engineer / more patient could though. :)

It too can 3D print a guided missile, but this one is player-controlled as opposed to using script. (Speaking of which, I should probably learn how to use programmable blocks.)

I'm always a fan of ships that are both creative and practical. Though I don't see a purpose of putting hydrogen and ion side by side in a ship like this.
