Space Engineers: Warship Guide - 'Gunboats'

[@andrewwalton6236]

Thanks for going into the non-capital ships because this is the sweet spot where I enjoy play, even if I don't always agree I love your perspective as it helps me crystalise my own.

[@LunarKolony]

thanks buddy! thats the main thing, everyone has their own ideas, cant please everyone

[@romanlev5603]

I love these... Really, I have waited on someone to get into something like this. +(Are you still continuing those reviews of economy ships?) Thanks for your work, your videos are awesome.

[@LunarKolony]

thanks man :) its comments like these which make creating videos worth it. I do plan on covering some more economy ships, though I have covered all of the main ones.

[@jebkerman5422]

@@LunarKolony nice video. Can you do something like larger like the battleship, battlecarrier super-/flagcarrier, superweapon or dreadnaught next?

[@DjigitDaniel]

Another excellent video. 👍🏻 A thought: countermeasures and decoys are critical for troop deployment and marine support, reducing effects of incoming fire and improving survivability of the package during landings. An EW suite on the command boat or decoy launchers on the lead landers would be a good idea. Solutions can be stock or modular.

[@LunarKolony]

Ahhhhh decoys! I should've mentioned decoy launchers, damn it

[@DjigitDaniel]

@@LunarKolony , no worries. Now you have a new video idea. "Electronic Warfare and Countermeasures".

[@rebaav]

@@DjigitDaniel seconded, yes please. Thanks to Warfare 2 a dedicated video or series on countermeasures is not only warranted but, I think, needed.

[@PLASMA_2005]

Finally! Iv been waiting on a continuation of this series! Definitely one of my favorites and useful ones in my opinion!

[@budbuganimations3440]

I'd love for you to do small grid classification like fighter (light/heavy) bombers ecs

[@LunarKolony]

i do plan to do so!

[@isoid]

I was just about it comment this as well, sounds like a cool idea

[@PLASMA_2005]

@@LunarKolony I second him lol... though good to see your on that plan!

[@PLASMA_2005]

@@LunarKolony if need be I have a FEW small fighters and a more reasonable amount of rovers if that's a help, one of wich is a SG gone wild mini base, lol

Some lovely little ships here

thank you!

Yeah these videos are definitely informative and give people some newer people ideas

I enjoy watching these. I actually design my ships to about these same roles and see these roles and specializations about the same as you do. HOWEVER, I actually don’t use gunboats, I usually either run my corvettes as small ship escorts to rile with their fighter screen role. OR I run my heavy fighters, and Assault Transports (AC Designator) to escort gunships and small transports. I used to some space engineers container back in 2013, and my ship sizes have since shrank and been streamlined. My largest vessel is an Assault Cruiser and is more used as a mobile base.

[@scruffted]

Yay another fantastic LK video, loved that blue gunboat looked really cool.... I now have the knowledge to make a gun boat haha keep it up!!!

[@sevyrsgaming1202]

Simple and to the point with an 'opinion disclaimer' at the end. Nice vid.

[@coldwarkiwi_2nd183]

Now time to make a gunboat like that frigate... with 3 railgun built into the front of it .

[@tannercarraro5767]

YES!!! The counter section is fantastic!

[@YEAHKINDA]

For any gunboat-esque design, I personally just take on the A-10's style of "Weapon that flies". The role will be filled but it will be rather limited to its one role, for a tradeoff of being extremely cheap and effective at its given role.

[@cosmicbananas8084]

I feel like gun boats would work well with a small grid since they are so small and you can add more details this way

[@clemenceyi1058]

I love this series! I think they are generally good for any fleet and i have definitely considered them in my own class definitions. Do you plan on making videos for larger vessels like dreadnoughts or battleships, and do you plan on reviewing fighter craft?

[@LunarKolony]

i do plan on covering the larger ones also

[@clemenceyi1058]

@@LunarKolony Woooooo!

[@truesnakegod]

I took your advice when I tried to make a small grid gunship recently. I I think I did good, but I'm struggling to add more guns without throwing out the overall look that I've made, and I accidentally made possibly too many redundancies with power and hydrogen. I say this because while in creative I made copies of the unfinished ship and blasted it apart and it could still survive even if 1 of its primary naisales is removed along with everything behind the cockpit. It doesnt fly great or for super long, but it does maintain some damage output and can still support itself for a fewish minutes while planetside before fuel runs dry. I honestly wasn't even trying to make redundancies. It just happened because I used every "free" spot I could find anywhere in the ship to hide small batteries and small hydrogen tanks because it's tough fitting the large versions in adequate amounts.

[@redleicestercheesemobile]

You can also equip gunboats with bombs to blow up slower infantry vehicles

[@whatliesbeyond7588]

Nice!

[@sem785]

These video's are great Google's auto-cc turned it into ''gumbo's'' and this makes me very happy

[@LunarKolony]

the gumbos

[@PsueidoEpic]

I've always thought of gunboat to be essentially anti-corvet corvets. basically just corvets but with guns to kill other corvets and potentially destroyers. While lighter armed than destroyers, they shouldn't be used against anything larger than themselves.

[@PraetorPaktu]

Nice

[@kamp6911]

I think a boarding ship guide would cool

[@alpacaofthemountain8760]

Great video!

[@Lerciezje]

I love this series, but I feel like I utterly derped out for not checking description for blueprints faster, some of these are great.

[@reavvr643]

Ah yes, the smol bois

[@rider4440]

Xd it translates "the smol bois" to the "the smol wood"

[@TheIronbuster]

I use this as my guidline for my fleet

[@Matias-dr3ys]

your ships look nice.

[@jdzencelowcz]

Maybe one or two jump drive ships that have gun/armor emplacements that can detach & work as fighter craft, picture the final fight in Star Trek Discovery, season 2.

[@stephanieb8249]

Have you made a vid for dropships?

The link in the description does not lead to the Orange Escort. Could we get the correct link? Please and Thank you.

I have uploaded the orange painted one separately now as well as the gunboat, the green one is a friends and i dont think he wants to pub it unfortunately

[@highground2320]

@@LunarKolony Thank you

[@varone79]

So it’s basically a large grid fighter

[@Cheese-3H]

Oui

[@neves5083]

Lovely How about longer vídeos?

[@LunarKolony]

Don't want to take up too much of peoples time, and if I made them longer I'd probably just be blabbing on or repeating myself

[@jdzencelowcz]

I grew up with Power Rangers, so my kinda ships would maybe need to stack or combine somehow, lotta merge blocks getting used.

[@clarko-ow5oq]

I'm gonna completely disagree on what you think a gunboat is, and I swear thats not just because I want more guns
