Its a bit exploitive, but not unstoppably exploitive. It still takes a bit of aiming and good luck to hit a distance target, especially a moving one. If it could be somehow limited by the player so its not too overpowered, I think it would a fun addition to battles. Besides, as long as it doesn't break the server itself, and all the players know how to build it. Than I actually would like to see it in a PVP server setting, because it would be interesting to see how players adapt and overcome the shear power of the jolty cannon. Instead of building mega large battleships that can 1v1 any ship, players probably will resort to smaller faster ships, capable of dodging with ease the gun at fairly safe distances. Or maybe players will adopt fighter tactics, and swarm enemy ships with jolt cannons. With Jolt cannon users building destroyer or frigate like ships that focus on speed and maneuverability to keep themselves alive. Maybe the biggest ships wont be big battleships, but rather big carriers with swarms of AI drones, ready to be sent in before hand. Or maybe we will see jolt cannon battles from long range, where whole factions fire large volleys at one another from far far away. Space engineers is all about adapting and overcoming challenges, so the jolt cannon would definitely be a serious channel to overcome.

I think the risks associated with using these things & the skill needed to produce a good one (especially in survival) more than balances out the slightly exploit-y nature of them. Especially considering what getting hit just once can do if it just so happens to hit the cannon (which is a lot larger than any other weapon in the first place).

Scale it up, replace the warhead with an anchor block, and you have an interesting way of launching ships with no atmospheric maneuverability into space from the surface. You'd probably have to make it absolutely enormous to launch most large grid ships though. This seems mostly for small grid ships and transport cruisers. Side tangent, if you can rig a cargo container with inertial dampening, make it so it turns on after a set period (once it reaches vacuum, on a timer, or at a specific altitude), and give it a beacon, you could effectively make an orbital-range Fulton Delivery System. This is giving me ideas, and now that Space Engineers is on Game Pass, I can test said ideas out.

It's exploitive of a safety mechanism that was added to pistons to stop them from claging or exploding. When you exceed the speed limit in this game collision detection does not work properly. The projectile passes trough armor block and rocks as if they aren't there. Such weapons can hit underground bases without even damaging the land above the base. It's just too broken to be considered legit.

It's basically like a depth-penetration fuse warhead, that explodes after breaching the target, to cause way WAY more damage. Likely how explosion propigate in SE, they'll do more damage in a caved in structure, as opposed to a flat surface. Basically less wasted explosive force. Definitely an exploit, but a fun one. Maybe transform it into a kinetic gun, that fire high mass blocks.... Maybe that would be an acceptable exploit, while still remaining fun.

It's not forgotten, nor obsolete. It's just that when playing within limitations, missiles far outclass this, as they don't require rotor/piston manual assembly or precautions other than repairing the launch bay when damaged. A clang gun will clang your entire ship if broken when firing. AI Block missiles also have surpassed CTC-rotor missiles. They're ready to launch effectively as soon as assembled, given a well-written blueprint. CTC-Rotor missiles require manual setup every time, and rotor care.

The weapon concept I think is 100% legitimate, because the projectiles aren't exactly cheap to produce either. And if done properly, this 'clang cannon', or as I like to call it, a HYPERVELOCITY GUN, can be redesigned to have either a bigger projectile, or several in a row in very rapid succession, fired at a target. The HYPERVELOCITY gun si a planetary Superweapon that fires into fairly large ships in orbit due to big ships, logically, being smaller. The massive and/or numerous projectiles will just damage or split the target with ease. So if you have the time, I challenge you to design a Hypervelocity Gun with this gun concept. It's just bigger and/or more projectiles instead of just the one. And yes, this 'clang gun' does, as demonstrated, work on ships. But the bigger the gun is, the bigger the ship has to be that carries it.

What I would do with this, is use a high mass block, instead of a warhead, use an array of them, and then use it like a mortar on planets, and make it rain blocks onto an enemy base in a preparatory bombardment, before the assault. Maybe too OP for players to use, but might make for a fun event that the server admins put together. Watch out for blocks raining from the sky!

The damage length is probably tied to ticks on which in game time operates. There was a similar problem in Starmade where you couldn't mod projectile (or ship) speeds over a certain limit without getting very weird results. Up to projectiles going through ships without doing damage or doing too much, or anything in between. Basically due to the speed the projectile is moving at it registers as being in multiple places at once and by the point game catches up to calculating the explosion it just slams it in all the affected spaces. Similarly the explosion against ships happens not on armor but in internal spaces and you are basically getting more than double the total damage due to how limited are surface explosions and the fact that they need to deal with armor.

In terms of physics, what is probably happening to cause the round to do so much damage is probably the same reason graviton ram spike shooters do so much in From The Depths, and its in-game tick rate. What im assuming is happening is that the physics are set at a certain tick rate, the projectile has a certain speed initially, and every tick that goes by the object is teleported a certain distance forward. At lower speeds, its not noticeable and doesnt create issues. However, once you go past a certain speed, instead of colliding how you would expect it to, youre partially teleported into or tbrough the object, meaning you are essentially nullifying any kind of armour since you quite literally just teleported through it. So you technically mever hit the outer armour, you only hit the interior assuming this is what is happening

A few months ago you had a video about a Speed-breaking exploit that depends on the improper categorization of a ship as a subgrid, because subgrids can go faster than other grids. You were NOT impressed. This gun works on the same principle, which is why the projectile is so scarily fast.

I think a good method of comparing what happening is, that it is sort of similar to a railgun, but much more centered to destruction rather than penetration. A comparison to what is happening, to use a movie, would be "Battleship" with those weird spinning interceptable rounds that lodges itself into the ships and explodes after a short period. It's what's happening here as well, but significantly more powerful and deadly, especially if someone makes something like a light cruiser or destroyer that only utilizes this weapon as their main gun. Granted, most likely than not, this weapon will most likely have much more limited armor protection and be an exterior weapon that is attached to something like a destroyer or cruiser to prevent Clang from coming to you for abusing its powers, but that would be a fair trade off in combat for hitting a shot that may rip a ship in two, or do some serious damage. (TLDR: Weapon pierces through and explodes in a delayed manner, which makes it do more destruction rather than piercing as heavily as a railgun, which may be effective to breaking a ship's teeth. Might be best as an exterior mounted weapon on ships with decent gyroscopical control. Two might be an upper limit, but I don't have space engineers. Experts go nuts.)
@lucienkin6714
@lucienkin6714 Ай бұрын
Also forgot to mention, but from my limited understanding of Space Engineers, it would be much less risky to mount the weapon outside the ship but using the design as such to not have most of it directly exposed than having the ship have the weapon inside it. Though granted, that *DOES MEAN* it would need a specialized design and need significant testing to have it consistently not break the ship in some way, at least not after 15-30 shots were fired to ensure the ship has decent combat effectiveness and staying power. (And for it to probably not break before that point.)

As a Spinal Weapon i'd say this is okay. As a Turret weapon its not okay. This is essentially a supersized mass accelerator afterall, one which in this case is more akin to a ballista or crossbow. But big.

I don't consider piston guns to be exploits. Unlike other things people class as an exploit, they actually require ammo, have a large footprint, are very fragile, and difficult to build in a way that makes them usable. Its just a giant in-line catapult / slingshot, and technically one well placed railgun shot even on a well armored ship will make the weapon non functional

Could this weapon be used as a ground-mounted turret and attack orbital ships? Does the projectile have the speed to make the shot and does it lose all accuracy at a certain range?

I'd be interested how this would work *inside* the hull of a ship.. I'm bringing to mind the MAC cannons from the Halo universe, where the weapon was built into the ship, pointing out of the nose. With it being physics-based, do you think there would be a chance of the projectile colliding with its own ship when fired during manoeuvres?

Imagine that as a giant turret for anti orbital defence

Classify these as WMD's and allow them on your servers. By allowing this you will quickly see A LOT of new innovations in terms of armor.

I have a question - would anti-rounds cages work against Clang cannon projectile (like, it will start detonation calculation and projectile will detonate on the armor, instead of the insides of it)?

isn't there a modular missiles mod for SE? That might allow you to make the stuff this fires guidable over extremely long range.

The weapon could (technically) be made in real life, using springs or rubber bands instead of pistons. It may be considered broken in space engineers since you are using a piston as a spring.

How did you manage to make the ship not spin out? I’ve tried to do that but was never successful.

What about 8 or 16 on the bottom of a ship aimed down like a Warhammer ship when called for an exterminatus. I don't know if it's possible but if there can be some kind of incendiary added that would be awesome.

I does some really good damage and penetration, but compared to a gravitygun i once build its reasonable i would say. With that gun i hit, provided a max ship speed of around 700m/s, other ships in 10km distance. The size does make it hard to use in battles but with jump drives you actually only need to get it antenna- or renderdistance

What if you placed one cannon behind (and a bit to the side) of another one and fired them at the same time? If one is far enough in front of the other, could it do all its damage before the second one hits, and create an opening for the second one to go even further?
