I think it would be a fun idea to refit the AMG Sandstorm into a space station and launch it from the base into space. That way, you can still have the AMG Sandstorm be in use while also freeing space in your giant hangar to build another big ship. Just an idea though

A catwalk that swings or extends out to the Sandstorm would be awesome. Combine it with a connector to transfer components / ammo.

I was thinking either naming it De-Caffinator Jr, or Re-Caffinator (like Pete & Repete). It might take more work than you're wanting to do, but how about putting your docking bay welders below the floor on pistons. With event controllers (or your button panel), have them raise up once a ship is connected, which keeps them out of the way til needed? You mentioned setting up decoys around the facilities to draw away enemy fire. Good idea.
@bitfiddler4 ай бұрын
To avoid subgrids "pushing" the ship, enable "share inertial tensor" on both the piston and the hinge. Thus, it will make the ship treat all subgrids as a single inertial unit. Basically, the inertial tensor setting tells the physics engine to treat any subgrids connected with an inertial tensor as a single grid for physics calculations.

44:21 The spreading out looks really awesome, but you really should make the upper hinges much slower so that they'd stop moving at the same time. Would make it so much more satisfying.
@Beeblebum4 ай бұрын
Yeah, I had similar issues with my Welder/Grinder ship - As soon you use sub-grids your ship starts falling slightly (at least in gravity). The only solution I found so far is copy/pasting the ship while in creative (still leaves some drift though), or merge-block your sub grids in position. Edit: Lol... the only thing I was thinking when you spread your decoys for the gremlin was: Ready to mate... 😂

Glad to see a new attack fighter. You still have the one you shot down to rebuild. Possible redesign idea for repair bay.. bury the welders below floor level, add landing gear to ships, so they have more clearance and less chance to hit the welder. As far as space is concerned, take one of the wall hangers at the far end of the Sandstorm bay and hollow it out, and open it up to the surface (a mini Sandstorm Style Bay). Don't forget the ground level hangar rooms/workshops and upper level command stations for docking control :)

Rebels lights has some really cool work lights that would look really cool in the new hangar, and Retractable landing gear would be super dope on the new Decaffeinator MkII ;)

It's a bit of an old one, but what about calling the new ship "Sanka"?

Hey Andrew! I've finally caught up to current time in your series, and I've got to say this has been one fantastic ride. I haven't gotten Space Engineers, and have been teetering back and forth on whether I should get it or not, as I love watching these survival series. After binging these vids to catch up, I have a suggestion; the outposts you capture just have too much to simply scrap in my opinion. How about converting them to Drone control stations/general refueling outposts? To extend both your own operating range, and having drones to operate with out of them?
