If you feel the Large Turbo Lasers are too OP against tiny little drones... then turn off small ships in the setting of the Large Turbos. You WILL want the Large Turbos against Large Block ships... Hello Corrupt Mod Large Ships!!! Make sure you have some small Turbos and some Large, set them to target their own ship types. Then test and see if you can survive against a Corrupt Hive Ship or a pair of Large Corrupt Ships... Make the call then if they OP.

[@Linerunner99]

The turbolaser weapons should be tested against other capital ships before you slap the "OP" tag on them and dismiss them. If you think the rinky-dink laser tickle feathers you have on there are gonna cut the mustard you're in for a real surprise if you run into something real like a hive ship. Saying they're OP because they one shot tiny little drones is.... premature.

[@rustediron4062]

It's all about relative power man. put a death star level weapon on a tiny fighter and you bet your ass its op. For the size they are and the power they take, they are op. If you think that they are made to go up against "capital ships", then they should be built on "capital ships" in which case they'd be bigger and more unwieldy.

[@Linerunner99]

How they perform against shielded warships with heavy firepower is all that matters for turbolasers. They should be set not to fire on small block fighters if he wants to salvage a few steel plates and a thruster or two so badly. He has yet to engage a real ship and until he does it's too soon to judge whether or not they are too powerful (two words that should never be used in sequence when discussing a ship's weaponry).

[@rustediron4062]

no, Anything can be too powerful. You should always ask if a weapon is too powerful. Otherwise, you have no right to make a weapon in the first place.

[@Empmortakaten]

You're both right. Turbolasers are meant to be anti-capitalship weapons, they hit it like it too, which is fine. They're also OP though because they're far to accurate for what they are. Shouldn't be able to 1 shot, or even dozen shot, single seat fighters and this weapon system does it regularly.

[@Kirkmaximus]

Shack saying "Let's not tell Text. I trust you chat. You'll never betray me." Oh, how little does he know how popular Textfire has become :)

[@Macabri_2k10]

just a pro tip ;) the trick in finding things is actually not limiting your search by the term you think it is called, there are a lot of turret weapons which are actually not called turret, all the battle ship weapons basically fall into this category, it's better to filter it on the left side for weapons

[@masternicholas0559]

Happy Veterans Day Captain as I sit back and catch up on all your shenanigans. Love your work

[@501stlegionnaire]

I was wondering earlier in this episode if there were craft that were actually able to sneak up on players due to tech... Then Shack got jumped... also I imagine Tex watching this episode while screaming “Stop blowing holes in my ship!” (PoTC reference)

[@corporalturner]

2:40:17 - Shack says "It takes 0.01" and it doesn't take that much fuel. He was looking at what material (Uranium) he had available not what was required.

[@gustavoarzaga1679]

Lord clang has made his returned

[@brandonhoffman4712]

Shack the PD lasers have a constant fire rate and are exploding your other rounds. the pd lasers should be set to target only incoming missiles seeing as they are only for point defense. freeing up your airspace so you can get rounds through. also I think you should reduce the range to 300m or so. currently you are activating a constant web that is taking over the airspace around your ship.

[@pilfit]

I keep hoping he is going to figure this out. There is a better laser mod out now, MA Laser. It does not have that problem and you can upgrade them to be good weapons not just PDLs.

[@Spiritouspath]

The Pelican is being reborn woot!!

[@sirdevonaire3249]

That's why we build small ships in the hanger

[@JustalDragoone]

Capt. Shack.... Oh my lord! Only when Texfire is not around, things seen to go terribly wrong and then you think (okay what did Capt. Shack do this time, again lol.) Um maybe, just maybe there was a good reason for the turbo lasers and why it wasn't a good idea take them off, but hey, these things happen and not much can be done about what's already happened, though this could be a good learning experience, just saying. Any ways, thanks Capt. Shack and here's a cup of coffee on me. P.S. Good luck with getting things normal, hopefully before Texfire returns to join you again.

[@corporalturner]

Stalker drones are EASY to take, just take out his gatling cannons and his missles launchers. They don't have warheads, so NO BOOBY TRAPS.

[@michaelferguson7276]

I would have added more Turbo Lasers, not removed them, lol.

[@Centcom15]

You need a mod that makes your "Hey that's a bad guy" indicators a little more obvious.

[@starwarrior125]

Turbo Lasers only OP because your using them to vastly overkill tiny little drones. Any ship with some decent girth/pressence would laugh at those lasers.

[@Chrophiss]

@TheXPGamers - I don't know if you will read this but it is important: The guided missile mod does this to all turrets. They target your own grid and don't react to hostiles at all! Remove that mod! I had the same issue, pirates nuked my base and turrets did nothing, i loaded the game without the missile mod and all was good!

[@s1lverdr8gon]

Shack, you should not use BOB's on the energy turrets. They regenerate their ammo faster then BOB can take it out. That is why they seem to take forever. If you were to check the inventory of the Warforge, you will find a whole lot of ammo that you will not be able to disassemble.

[@ElderSig]

One of these days Shack will realize his habit of turning off the HUD is causing half of his awareness issues.

[@Pebble_94]

3:15:00 I think what happened there was that your turrets were stuck trying to target their own grid and couldn't fire on a new target. I have had the same issue when using the guided missiles. That mod is awesome but has some problems. As for the explosion/disaster after that I have no theory. Also that wheel that was being targeted was still attached because you jumped with it still on.

[@corporalturner]

Sniper Drones are EASY to take out with just the engineer. just maneuver around their back and Drill or Grind his Programming block to disable him. He'll be spinning since he was trying to aim his gatling guns at you.

[@McHaven07]

Horseflies are not supposed to be threatening. Not to large ships like the Warforge. Battleships, etc. are supposed to be threatening. That's why you traded up from the Skyforge.

[@corporalturner]

Can't believe he doesn't know the artificial mass+gravity generator trick to make his ship go pass the 100m/h limit.

[@Macabri_2k10]

"how did they get so close?" ignoring the CBDR signal for ages while building catwalks, dude pay attention to the UI it's not only there for you to turn it off ;)

[@nedsemprez538]

Some of the weapon mods on wastedspace stream are pretty badass

[@wolfmax5299]

Go to 1:17:08 in the video and you'll see Tex's fighter isn't locked down at all (bottom connector and landing gear are off) so it was only a matter of time before you lost it (jumping for example).

[@thisulr4862]

The back end of the drop ship should look like a B-25 it would look really good.

[@stevejones5824]

At 3:45 when attacked by the Frigate you couldn't jump as you were in the artificial gravity field (of the frigate) - not planetary!

[@masterSageHarpuia]

next time you build the warden, do it from inside the bay.

[@masterSageHarpuia]

W4stedspace has like 18 BOBs on his new scrapworks ship, didn't seem to affect sim speed very much.

[@jimc7022]

Hey Shack, check out the airtight walkthrough connectors. I use them in all my worlds. Acts like a fully functioning docking ring that you can walk through as well as a connector. Would be perfect to connect your drop ship to the warforged

[@KawaiiSoulB42]

captain says: I may not have enough gravel for this. 46:55. say that when the asteroid outside your ship is all gone. XD i'm sure you have enough. lmao continue to to watch the stream and will edit this later....

[@pauldrive7243]

03:18:00 For the Oshi....Moment! Rip The Prowler! again!

[@Graccodef1le]

Love the blacked out hornet in the intro

[@Nyanti_Games]

Shack goes, I feel like these turrets are op, I go, then you havnt fought the big ships yet

[@keetonmitchell4669]

so does he realize that there are different ammo types for the turbo lasers? he could just use a lower powered round if he likes the turrets. Mod page says there are different types I haven't done too much testing personally. It looks like he is using the explosive rounds. There should be normal rounds that are slightly weaker ( I could be completely wrong. it could just mean it will affect ships and not voxels)

[@robertellis6853]

I think there is a mod that adds the ammo type name to the detailed info of the weapon block. [Edit: oh, someone donated about it]

[@Miniputt_999]

For the Next module, how about one with heavy weaponry? like with Catapult missiles and Longbows for targets that is 3-5 km away. Catapults are slow but powerfull missiles. two is enough of them. Longbows are fast small missiles. 6 or more would be good.

[@baalrog]

You cant jump into or through a gravity well. You were aimed towards the planet's well. The Fighters inside the bay werent connected to the ship, so the splash damage from the missiles went through the shielded Warforge and damaged the small ships inside. The small landing gears' grip strength may have been overcome by the maneuvers.

[@balasarius]

@TheXPGamers The cause of your Boom and why you turrets didn't fire. a decoy drone with a bomb was clamped to the Dropship the decoy stopped you turrets from firing at the Reever ship and the Bombs are on random timer ( either that or your deceleration triggered the bomb. remember you asked about the target thing on your ship nearly 20 minutes before the attack.

[@TenebrousFilms]

3:12:23 for the big boom.

[@pauldrive7243]

Big Bhadder Boom!

[@jonathanwayt2611]

You guys need to get the Thorium Reactor kit by icecold’s do something with all that Stone

[@masterSageHarpuia]

shack has only made progress on the front section of the warforge this episode..... this is why he shouldn't stream alone.

[@aaronameerbeg1822]

some of the mods there are nice what mod are you using for the auto construction of the new ship components? looks like nanite controller but the nanites seem to just sit there and weld

[@lucascheongsmith4032]

@xpgamers Might be time to consider an extra crew member or two... I’m free every Sunday 👌🏽

[@masterSageHarpuia]

I think you have a clang moment, probably should reload before losing the warden and tex's fighter.

[@spencerwhite8730]

Rebuild the warden shack, and put shields on it

[@d-zeronut5094]

So shack you need a coffee machine mod which give you a cup of coffee and when you use it gives you 1 hp

[@MaxAF]

Shack you should build several Wardens say 3 or 4. You know just in case emergencies or drone attacks

[@michaelackert1826]

just so you you know shack he was one the radar for a good 3 minutes before he attacked lol.

[@corporalturner]

No way he didn't see (with glasses on) red numbers counting down on the screen for that long. And lasers and turrets didn't fire because they were aiming for something (that was closer) on his ship.

[@markharrison7429]

Hey Shack, I’m the one who sent you the cheat sheet for foreign currencies. I heard in another video that you have lost it. Would you like me to post you another one? Kind Regards. Mark Harrison

[@sullivanlaramie2901]

I watched HyperRPG's Pencil's and Parsecs EotE when I was prepping.

[@danlogoyda1808]

What was the music playing at the 30 minute mark?

[@Draco48]

you need to cover all corners and sides whit Def things, so everything is coverd, and you dont have to turn the ship to face them

[@Pathologic9]

Hey Shack I got a question. What makes you play this game? Weird question but I have a problem with this game. I love the thought of this game. The concept of doing what it says makes me want to play it but... I can't seem to get in it and play it. Maybe it's just me I dont know.

[@WarCollider]

And once more turrets bugged out and decided not to shoot. Also, once again I see why I'd not be upset in the slightest if he never decided to pay attention to the chat again. So much toxicity, and everyone spreading misinformation talking about something they clearly know nothing about. Seriously, if you don't know for sure about something, then don't send messages acting like you are. Turrets fired when he clicked shoot once - "Oh they must not have ammo!" Target clearly in range with clear shots for the turrets - "Oh Shack was clearly too far away or wasn't giving the turrets a clear shot!"

[@blacksaint99090]

1:19:50 color simulator with CaptainShack

[@thestarwarsgamer3258]

What kind of truck do u have shack?

[@nathanharrison2]

yeah, the laser crashes my game alot. and the turret doesnt always work even with ammo loaded in. the single direction one works fine though.

[@thestarwarsgamer3258]

Watch lost in space it's so good!

[@-Big_Big]

my turrets are also doing random - not shooting - then suddenly starts shooting

[@Milkbox4k]

The CIWS autocannon are godly versus small craft. And the ammo is very cheap.

[@cheynestahlhut2061]

Beam drill crashes for the win, this is why I just use nanite control factory with 3 mining upgrades and 3 speed upgrade modules attached for mining and the nanobot for the other stuff :D Beam drill is an awesome mod but until the scripts get updated it WILL crash your game at some point.

[@Baneofchaos019]

any idea what song thats playing at around 2:01:01?

[@Dewit2meAgian]

hey Shack found a mod you might like its called [XL Industrial] with more power comes more ways to use that power these all do make building things mush faster.

[@Dewit2meAgian]

SE crashes due to the graphics glitch when your mining, welding or grinding there is sometimes a graphic appears and crashes the game its not the beam drill its the game itself happens to me with no mods and it is totally random when doing something

[@BigRedBallon8597]

Just replace the big turbolasers the little ones seem fine

[@redstromesoup6563]

Shack, i found two old series that have videos going private like the firist rupublic at war and the clone wars mod series

[@JaxkDaniels]

Bob not set to "build new"??, it should have built it all without you having to place a block when using a projector

[@atraveler7461]

Why did shack type in turrets when most of them arnt named turret

[@johnbennett7501]

Couldn't see notification when you started to live stream

[@Drakefance5]

Anyone know the name of the first song?

[@masterSageHarpuia]

And all progress made on the warden was lost....

[@kylemeyer9277]

shake i hope you know why the enemy rockets out to space is bc your using explosive rounds

[@wepntech]

seen the LA dragonball movie. so bad i dont even wanna remember the actual title. it's magnificently bad.

[@thestarwarsgamer3258]

Rebuild the warden off stream please!

[@Ben-qs9fw]

What's on Haven that Shack is so scared of?

[@thebundleseffect5183]

: D Evil

[@TheDanlovejoy]

Spiders, zombies, clang

[@blackknightpraetor1667]

: D Spiders, Zombies, Pirates, all the bad stuff

[@NEOMNIMON]

Flying spider, zombies, pirates, clang, some big craters snd bad memories

[@alecbaker1240]

wheres texfire

[@jawetty3273]

When is next stream

[@saintbellistrad4304]

For some reason youtube glitches out and fails to load the streams for me on mobile until 24 hours have passed. :c

[@thestarwarsgamer3258]

Ya I don't like those pipes

[@talonbennett353]

Play X3 PLEASE!!!!
