Space Engineers "Perfect Landing"

[@aydenlokey3641]

Ah man I love when I build a ship and realize the weight as soon as I try to take it within earth's gravity but then it's too late because I cheaped out and made the ship underpowered

[@TinyDragonGamer250]

I once made a terrible ship (still new and cant build even to this day) and tried to escape earth... Ran out of fuel a quarter of the way off the planet and began rapidly approaching the planet at mach 2.

you mean, 100m/s@@TinyDragonGamer250

[@aiasjones7382]

@@TinyDragonGamer250 Oh man, I had the opposite problem! Spent way too much time grinding in survival to make a ridiculously overpowered and overfueled small grid ship to get into orbit. Turns out I got the maths waaaay wrong. It was HORRENDOUS to grind down when I had to recycle it D:

[@glatykoffi6672]

Cheaping out in transportation never goes well

[@paulduchamp4736]

​@@TinyDragonGamer250may I introduce our lord and savior parachute?

[@Chopsey0]

XD i love the 3 large hydrogen thrusters that couldve stopped the crash lmao

[@lupo19fun]

True😮

[@thefiresworddragon927]

And the fifty ion thrusters pointed the same way. All of which unused at all

[@Robert_Zietz]

@@fissilepear7805 They work in atmosphere, just really badly.

[@digiaprotogencalledl4378]

SO TRUE

[@aydenlokey3641]

A demonstration on how every ship can enter gravity at least once.

[@Crackheadcentral2188]

But it doesn’t have to exit.

"another happy landing"

[@foxmayhamstudio143]

A good land is where you lived, and a perfect landing is where you get to keep your ship.

[@ubiwrongcomeatme3452]

Took me 5 tries to get to space first time I played it on survival mode. Understandable. It's actually kinda hard to make a ship capable of exit and re-entry. Who knew? XD

[@ezoni8438]

Remember to use the space engineers thrust calculator, i always add 1-2 extra thrusters than what it recommends tho

[@user-hn6tb5lv9t]

Have to be sure. Just... Have to.

[@Gxaps]

Your bestbet would have been to flip and burn and to hover on your rear thrusters. You definitely would have been light enough to do that as well

[@ProfTuNichts]

How there was more than enough trust on your back. If gyroscope still works, rotate ship nearly 90 degrees top (pull up). Press W. Pray

[@sachunsky]

Pray. Yep, sound about right for every ship I've built in SE... Followed by the obligatory "Oh no" the second you realize your fucked

[@ProfTuNichts]

@@sachunsky followed by closing the game --> reload last save before 100 hours is lost

[@johnathan651]

I see the problem! Your left thruster wasn't working! lol

[@theimprovisedmanfriends204]

Yes! I think I was paying more attention to that than the actual speed of descent 🤣

[@Peashooter_10]

Great ship design, you can use it at least once

[@AlphaKnight-hg2jq]

Any landing you can walk away from is a successful landing

[@Shaver755]

Yeah you landed just like I do... LMAO

[@digiaprotogencalledl4378]

Another happy landing

[@altontacoma]

Any landing that doesn’t blow up your hydrogen tank is a good landing.

[@jordanfischler00]

When Space Engineers becomes KSP

[@luisschreck1804]

whats your biggest building in your spaceport?.....the memorialhall......who doesnt know it.....

[@Dippcrafty]

I honestly expected a perfect landing

[@tails0420ify]

Nice one Launchpad Mc Quack!

[@jamieisjabba]

if that was me I would have aimed the ship into the sky and used the large gas based engines to save the craft.

[@ArcBane]

Another happy landing :)

[@xxbongobazookaxx7170]

Land: come to rest after falling or being thrown. Yeah, it is certainly at rest. Good job.

[@reddoesthings6225]

"Any landing you can walk away from"

[@TheMrShinagami]

Nice landing! I guess you will be fitting parachutes next time lol

[@theimprovisedmanfriends204]

I thought I fitted 2 of them, but it was a big lump of Frankenstein really as I just wanted to get off the moon for a bit 😁

[@TheMrShinagami]

@@theimprovisedmanfriends204 I'm not sure about creative mode (I don't use it much) but you need to make sure the Parachutes are loaded with canvas and they can be set to trigger at a set height or set to trigger manually.

[@Jackson-tt8uh]

@@TheMrShinagami creative mode doesnt need to have parachutes in the blocks, they will deploy regardless

[@imperialinquisitor510]

Someone forgot giros :D

[@Cryshalo]

Nailed it.

[@icantfishforshit]

I mean... You DID walk away from it, or jetpack away.

[@CraftierUD]

Creative mode be like:

[@garglealemon7603]

You forgot to put it into park

[@kaiserhhaie841]

the thrusters couldve slowed you down you know

[@Zenek7274]

Please pitch back next time

[@dinohansen5074]

I've seen worse landings in SE!
