The most POWERFUL faction on the server | Draconis Expanse | Space Engineers

[@toylegman3315]

ive been on the server for 2 weeks now and have heard story's about LAC luckily haven't run in to any of them but is good to know more about them

[@alphamatte4259]

Really depends - in my experience if you have no "contraband" and aren't hostile they will let you go peacefully. Their definition of hostile does change though.

[@razorback8300]

@@alphamatte4259 out of curiosity, what do they define as “contraband” ( that way I could put the items on my inventory if I run into them ). They will never know I had them…

[@averymasters6669]

Very good video Matte! I really like the RP lore of the factions. Seeing the history and purpose adds a layer to an already awesome server. I’d say, definitely keep these ones coming! Would love to see the GoCN next. See you in game, beratna!

[@alphamatte4259]

Yeah the RP is really great on this server and I want to feature it more. Will definitely have more of these videos coming.

[@scipug3048]

I dont play on that server, but if I've learned something from eve, it's that by becoming the biggest faction, you also become the biggest target. let's see how long it takes.

[@alphamatte4259]

Oh, they already are the biggest target.

[@DeepBlue10055]

Cool to see the history all in one place!

[@alphamatte4259]

Totally agree beratna

just a word of advise that shipyard has since been modified to not have 15 subgrids but still is one of the best features of the server also remember be nice and ur be rewarded!

Loving these videos, good voice & Nice background music. Good showcase

[@alphamatte4259]

Thank you so much!

[@andybraid4263]

I've always seen KOTH to be something that only rewards one faction that through holding KOTH and hording resources cannot be dislodged.

[@alphamatte4259]

Really depends on the vibe of the server. For example right now there are 7 factions on koth cause of a ceasefire.

[@PineRidgeAIM_CA]

I ran into them on my first day, thank god I had nothing to my name, they’re were 8 of them and I got so intimidated I decided to keep my mouth shut.

Are the blueprints for that large ship available to play with in a private world?

[@alphamatte4259]

Unfortunately no - it was given to me by the faction with the understanding that I do not share it with anyone. Sorry!

[@lostcosmonaut44]

Depends on which ship you're talking about. I will be releasing a public blueprint of the battlecruiser soon though.

Looks awesome , just wondering are there any requirements before joining the server ?

Hopefully this server is available on consoles eventually. I am on ps4 and just getting into the game, already addicted to building vertical though. I recently completed a small belter style hauling ship and am already in love with it

[@alphamatte4259]

Unfortunately it will probably never be available on consoles. We use a third part server meshing software that console framework can’t support.

Yup the whole server is in survival mode. Everyone is mining, refining and printing all these ships. 2 shots for this were filmed in creative but the server is survival.

New World kinda taught me that super factions are usually less fun than more fun, especially if there’s no practical way to stand up to them I have been pretty interested in the server from an RP standpoint but once a faction starts acting like police there’s not much anyone can do

[@alphamatte4259]

I feel like LAC gets plenty of bad press in captains log and daily comms. I also explored players opinions on both sides and tried to leave the viewer wondering if what they were doing was right at the end. My intention is to do more of these for other big factions as well - it’s all RP at the end of the day.
