Wrong Way... Up? Elon Thrust takes flight

[@mattp1337]

That dogfight was the highlight of this series so far. Nice piloting, nice camera work.

[@Splitsie]

Thanks, this is the stuff I was hoping we'd get with this series :)

[@sagarasosuke5446]

You got yo love how Splitsie Always Forgets to extend the up pistons so he can have many down pistons

[@Weetunet]

Well, in this one he at least explained that he put the up-piston there before he realized they didn't have enough materials to build enough down-pistons.. But yeah, he tends to screw that up often.

[@mandyspence1599]

Once again you all brought us some amazing content, particularly the dog fight between W4stedspace and Kanajashi, it was gorgeous! And the chatter from the boys was hilarious! I also learned heaps! 1 - Capac has smooth topography... Might be something I didn't need to know... 2 - Shack thinks he has rugged manly topography... I definitely didn't need to know that... 3 - Texfire has terrible luck when it comes to cranes, but they work great when he finally finishes them! 4 - DE has not only mastered dad humour, but dad sarcasm and back handed compliments... All aimed at Splitsie, which isn't weird at all...? 5 - the Jalopy really aspires to being a accordion and has made several attempts now to achieve that evolution... And finally 6 - Splitsie is a optimistic pessimist... I assume that this means he thinks his cups half empty but is content that he can get a refill...? Keep up the greatness!!!

[@Splitsie]

I'm more of a happy pessimist, always pleased by the world exceeding my very low expectations 😄

@@Splitsie what is Capac? Other than the bane of your sanity? I would guess he switches between optimistic and pessimistic...

[@syriuszb8611]

2:07:00 well, since Spltise conveniently removed the drills, they could have added one more piston to get deep into the cobalt.

Wow! What a fantastic dogfight. Cant believe this is made in Space Engineers. Looked more like a advanced AAA flight simulator. Good pilots and good engineers building/designing those planes. Impressive to watch.

An epic conclusion would be the "NPCs" defending the Pole with their own large-grid Rover-Train-Of-Death. It'd be especially epic if, during the battle, they decoupled their train into three separately-controlled attack rovers in a sudden surprise encirclement maneuver!

When u went onto the ice you went full polar express lol

[@lworbey]

[@Chronostra]

That dogfight between Kanajashi and Wasted reminds me Trigger vs Mihaly on the crags (forgot which mission of ace combat 7) sans the rain and thunder. Well done boys

[@King-Renegade]

You need to change the Fixed piston Drill for the Chain Drill on wheels that can dragged along drilling while your driving slowly, but be pulled up by a piston when your reversing.

[@nvfury13]

Very useful when they find an ice lake, especially if you give it a pilot seat and just go full riding mower while filling the cargo.

[@joelcrafter43]

I actually found out about this series by kanajashi building this hydrogen station in his space engineers season 4 and mentioning splitsie blowing it up in "wrong way up" which led me to search for wrong way up to find out what it is, neat to see where that happened.

[@leXie1337_chan]

I'd love to see the planes of this series make it to the Workshop...

I'll ask the bots toward the end of they're happy to post theirs though I think some might already be on the workshop

Do your rules for wrong way up allow you make a remote operated rocket? To try and get to the high altitude bomber, (only have one at a time) if so you could call them Tom Cruise missiles

[@DemTacs]

Shack has an owl, but during a shanding he lost the L. ^^

[@jasonpeace1991]

With all the hydrogen in those tanks I'm surprised you resisted the urge to strap a thruster to it and return it to the bots

[@Runetrantor]

Gotta say, watching you drive that train in the dark, without adding spotlights on the sides of the first module to have better sight of where you are going both terrifies and amuses me greatly. :P

[@honza2447]

Is that Elon Thrust? Nope, Chuck Tesla. I am still waiting to see Sirian McLaren and Chuck Lorrys. Careful with the latter one, though. The legend says, that if you make fun of Chuck, he can appear behind you and roundhouse-kick your face into the keybbdxj ndgv

i cant keep watching this series... splitsies refusal to stop driving when he cant see is making me irrationally angry

[@Splitsie]

Since these are live streams I have two choices when it gets to pea-soup level fog: sit around making everyone bored while we wait or keep driving and try my best to do so without crashing but with most likely getting slightly lost. I'm always going to do the second because I kinda enjoy the challenge and I don't want people to get bored :)

@@Cyberguy42 they can i have them on all my servers ground bases and rovers and i have them set up to show the weather that is incoming and also set to set off alarms if we need to get the rover into our massive underground hanger

[@nvfury13]

Need a solar powered rover with decent cargo space, scout out some ice and do a run to fuel the big rover enough to go out and fill itself up on it; need more storage on the big rover too, containers replacing some of the conveyor junctions would help. And with the placement of the wheels, an underslung “spine” of cargo containers and conveyors would work too.

I have had to reload a few times lately to clear up bug, more than usual. Like I could not get to halves of a ship to merge that I was shortening with the piston trick. The blocks would come down to a few cm and the pistons would stop. nothing was in the way. F5 fixed it. PITA!

[@MichaelThomas-vl1dg]

[@thornblackwell5749]

After watching this series, I'll only be using the physics mod for ground vehicles and down force. I see more "aircraft" crawling along the ground than flying. I'd rather use the plane parts mod and have fun than use the physics mod for flying. The drag id too harsh because it's constant, instead of practically non-existent at slow speeds to more viscous the faster you go. My only complaint with the plane parts mod is there isn't any discernible drag, unless you use the air-brakes and then there is too much drag.
