Space Engineers Survival 2021 (Episode 16.1) - BATTLESTATIONS!!! [Pertam]

[@randallvolk8437]

You should add the ‘Direct Energy Weapons’ mod to make use of its turrets that use only energy to fire. They would be perfect for defending your solar Array since it produces and stores power. This would give it a defense system that won’t need ammo.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

You're right, that would be great for defense! I think the solar power field produces more power than we need anyway so it could handle the extra load.

[@MightyAssa]

The hunchback has several small reactors close to the jump drives filled with more uranium ;)

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Oooooooo that's good to know! I think we're set for awhile here. We've got missiles, uranium, and platinum for days!

[@gidoiurafael]

nice video as always the first major combat encounter of the series is over, and we have a whole warship's worth of resources in our possession now

[@AndrewmanGaming]

YESSS!!!

[@chaoticnick922]

You should use the resources from the ship to build a specialized battle rover, i actually have a pretty good idea of how to build it. I was thinking you could also convert that idea you had for a mining rover, instead make a little weaponized 'atmospheric strike fighter' which connects to the rover. Specs below - Battle Rover - + Heavy armour blocks in exterior + Secondary cockpit in the center + Front and rear gatling guns for multidirectional combat + 5x5 wheels with powerful suspension for high-speed maneuvers + Minor cargo space, 1 medium cargo + Topside connector (For fighter attachment) Strike Fighter - + Light armour blocks + Missile turret (Front) + Gatling gun (Rear) + 2 batteries + 6 upwards thrusters, 4 forward thrusters, 4 left & 4 right thrusters, 2-4 downwards thrusters (atmospheric, for extreme maneuvers, adjust as you like) + Bottom connector (For rover attachment)

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Ooooo that sounds pretty cool! We definitely need something more capable at fighting than the hauler truck thing.

[@chaoticnick922]

@@AndrewmanGaming Well, it's the difference between a glorified cargo hauler with a gun and an actual warship, so yeah. Also, just wanted to point out that if you want to peek and shoot, it might be more efficient to keep your gun in the front/back of the ship instead of the middle to expose less when you're firing

[@jacobktan]

So good it needs a part 2 apparently.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Loll tbh part 2 is building stuff. I ended up recording wayyyy too much footage to keep it in one video. So in part 2, we actually finish the dune powerbank.

[@jacobktan]

@@AndrewmanGaming combat is always fun, but I think most people watch space engineers either for the content creators or for the building.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

@@jacobktan In that case you'll love part 2 :D

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

Battle was cool, thanks for cutting out the boring wait for it to come back

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

watch out for those Blueberries & Cherries in your Rear View mirror. they really frown on Hauling A$$ in a no A$$ hauling Zone. Small Grids can take down Large Grids if you play it smart and use effective tactics on them. start by picking off Guns to limit what it can do to you. then target thrusters to down it for salvage. Rocket Launchers + Missiles have an AoE and will damage adjacent blocks. the sweetest prize is a functional Jump Drive!

[@fourdotsYT]

Andrew: "Guaranteed power bank at the end of the episode! No matter what." SE: "Wanna fight? Want some loot? >:-)" Andrew: "OK.. let's call NEXT episode 16 'part 2' " ^_^ lol

[@AndrewmanGaming]

LMAOO To be fair, I did record all of it as one episode. It was just going to be 1 hr 20 mins long. So I figured best to just cut it into two and learn my lesson not to record for so long :D

[@fourdotsYT]

​@@AndrewmanGaming :) Fair, you did say that in the video. Just seemed funny. But hey, now you have a whole extra video.. you can take a day off. lol BTW those solar tower display scripts you wrote.. did you use that SE scripting tool I suggested? Maybe show the class your work, for those interested.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

@@fourdotsYT I did not use the visual scripting tool. I do actually know how to code in C# so it is easier to do it the old fashion way, but that tool could be helpful for sure!

[@tekbox7909]

@@AndrewmanGaming I wouldn't mind a 1 hr 20 mins episode to be honest

[@admiralglenn2323]

Nobody else noticed the one solar tower that had its left side angle blocks backwards? I’m trying to catch up on the series, but that’s been bugging me for a few episodes.

[@nachimowit]

why don't you use build planner? it would make loading materials and planing construction way quicker. Also to take ships down you will need a lot more guns, not just one or two scattered arround. Piping them to your main cargo is also a must so you don't need to worry about loading each one manually. And in a final note, in order to take control of a ship, you must hack the control seat, and destroy the rest if there is more than one, also you must grind or destroy timer and programable blocks, as well as remote control blocks and antenas to keep some ships for calling for help. Once you do that, it is wise to take ownership of the ship in the control panel to make sure it won't be shooted to shreds by your base guns the moment you fly it in.

[@spacemanspiff7283]

Wait, you can take ownership of npc ships?

[@AndrewmanGaming]

That's a good idea! For build planner, how do you say "I need 112 solar panels?" From what I've seen, you can only load 1 solar panel at a time into build planner. Maybe there is some functionality I dont know about?

[@nachimowit]

@@AndrewmanGaming I don't remember the hot keys, but there is a combination to queue up and draw several items at the time. For example you can withdraw the components for 3 solar panels without even open the control window

[@joaco545]

@@AndrewmanGaming You can queue up to 8 things IIRC. You can do it from the build menu by hitting the plus icon on the lower left with the pannels selected, or you can right click the solar pannel/s that need to be built multiple times to get your queue full

[@spacemanspiff7283]

@@AndrewmanGaming if you use ctrl+MMB, it withdraws 10x the amount of components and keeps it in the build planner. So, you can put a new solar panel in the build planner and draw enough components for 300 if needed. You can also use build planner to put the components you need into production

[@TurnyPlays]

This series is awesome man! had to start it from the start!

[@JustZephyr854]

You should 100% re-build the ship! Might be useful and be a fun project.

[@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am]

Just a quick tip: You don't need craft elite rifles, you should now have plenty. 6, iirc.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Have I gotten elite rifles? I've definitely seen the rapid fire ones but idk about elite

[@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am]

@@AndrewmanGaming One type of the pods in the Hunchback Dropship has 1 each, I can't remember if there's 6 or 8 of these, though.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

@@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am Oh wow, we're set on guns then!

[@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am]

@@AndrewmanGaming Also, if you find the pre-Warfare 1 ammo, use it for the Precise rifle, since, unlike the Elite or the Rapid-Fire, it actually benefits from it, and significantly so. (3.75x ammo cap., as opposed to 1x and 0.6x respectively)

[@AndrewmanGaming]

@@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am Oh, I didnt know you could use old ammo in the new rifles.

@@AndrewmanGaming and it didn't look like it did all that much damage to you either, I expected much worse with the rockets.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

@@orvishana1210 It focused a lot on the mini base we made up top. Then when it got really close to the ground at the end, it was focusing on the mining base and the little light towers. We have so many grids to choose from it doesnt know what to do!

[@MmeHyraelle]

Damn you were doing 70 m/s before bumping into those hills.

[@PGLGriff]

You should make a grinder ship to break down the ship you defeated

[@AndrewmanGaming]

We're probably going to have to. With our tiny inventory, it would take ages to manually grind everything.

[@PGLGriff]

Ya definitely... that or a big grinder pit... like HUGE hahaha

Sweet stuff man! Finish power bank and then???.....salvage ship?

[@The_Digital_Samurai]

That inhibitor field is a bit too much. It's bad enough you're one dude against a heavily armed ship.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Yeah I wish I could disable it. It exists to stop people from jetpacking up to the ship and grinding their way into it for an easy score.

You could use the fancy displays script for a nicer lcd look

[@lloydharrelson4805]

Great ep. Sir To Battle that vis always fun went does part two come out

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Probably either today or tomorrow. I have to add music to it, then just render and upload.

[@traviscrane5993]

You could just go into the control panel and see what all is on the ship.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Oh yeah, that's a good idea XD

[@ScorpiusZA.]

2:46. Do you still have the script for the solar towers?

[@anth5189]

They need to fix this ridiculous death issue. I practically just nudged the top of a tree and died immediately. Then I went to scrap a probe and just bumped it as it came down and died again. It is just stupid. Lose half your health or something but this instant death crap is ridiculous. Another problem with this game is why are there no NPC's? There should have been troops on that ship. Who was controlling it. At least with Empyrion you have some enemies that attack you.

[@dest0starlord192]

you should add the build and repair mod or the build nanites mod

[@danielros7798]

Maybe you can make a spaceship now with the jump drives?

[@AndrewmanGaming]

It's definitely a lot of materials! I dont know if I want to leave Pertam just yet though. We've got a nice home and lots of ambitious projects planned!
