11:00 The NPC grid claiming also prevents the problem that existed on the Keen Official Servers where the pirate PCU (50,000 by default) was being entirely taken up by stuff players had hijacked meaning nothing new could spawn.

Indeed :)

@@Splitsie​​⁠replying to you here so theres a higher chance of you seeing it. a slight correction about the claim npc thing is does give you ownership of the grid and pcu but not of the blocks meaning you can delete the grid also the grid is considered to be built by you when you claim it

If you find a Prototech block you will need to claim the NPC grid or it will despawn in 10 mins I think.

[@cosmicstory36]

4k hours in this game and still appreciate the little tutorials (information about claiming NPC grids 10:30 ) you give in these series.

[@jimclayson]

Thruster Components are great, but as soon as you have enough to get by, disassembling some of the excess to get platinum for an Elite Grinder will make things go much smoother. Those drones drop quickly when you can grind their Remote Controls wih a proper grinder. 😊

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

I've seen upgraded grinders in the shop several times, cheaper than ship parts too! So yeah he could stock up on elite grinders during salvaging during escort contracts

[@Splitsie]

Either way, yeah once I've got all the thrusters I need those escort missions should be a good source of extra platinum :)

[@jimclayson]

@@Splitsie Yeah, I've been known to park a few km from Pirate Stations with drone spawns, just to wait for the thruster components, uranium and ammunition to come to ME. With a good grinder, you can render them harmless before they can do any significant damage... and if you have a Spherical Gravity Generator in range, you can keep excess components from drifting away. 👍

[@Splitsie]

I really do hope I find one of the proper pirate stations, that'll be a nice haul if I can take it on, plus fun to take one on solo as I've usually got my meatshield with me :D

[@arielmoonsoo9219]

I'll repeat my suggestion from the first episode regarding a name for the scout ship - `The Magpie`. Magpies have the reputation for picking up shiny things, and that fits the style of gameplay to a T.

[@Zenas521]

You can now do the acquisition missions, now that you have cargo space large enough to hold the components. How you come in possession of the components is strictly "don't ask, don't tell". furthermore acquisition missions don't have a time limit.

[@Splitsie]

lol I'm hopeful that I can manage to work out some more effective ways to start accumulating them by doing the escort missions to make those possible :)

[@derrickobara6806]

The explosion in the face punctuated by "Dampeners no longer relative" is a cruel joke by the UI, and icing on the cake.

[@Ledgnair]

Yay, Splitsie finally got himself a real ship! This is a very big turning moment in this I believe as it is a point where he finally has the starts of a proper 'recovery checkpoint' to store material and tools that he harvests along the way and, should the worst happen, has a place to start from thats not absolute zero. As for the scout ship given its shape I think a Kite would be a good model name for it. Seems light, fast, and nimble. That or a Dragonfly.

[@trivalentclan]

Collected 1. 7 M credits, bought a ship and merged its two batteries to my ship and used its thrusters to upgrade my ship, then sold all the extra pieces back to the second station. All you need for search contacts is a cockpit, the pods get highlighted when you are within about 2 km. And preserving batteries is important as the power cells are rarely available at the first station. The for sale cycle at the first station is perfect for this scenario.

[@joshrawlinson6821]

Love this series it is like 2 in the morning for me but slltill watching it

[@Splitsie]

Glad you're enjoying it Josh :)

[@kerbalairforce8802]

Escort contract: build the cheapest possible AI drones with gat turrets and set them to fly in formation around your ship. They will draw fire away from your main ship. Alternatively, build a "shield ship" and mag lock that to the contract ship. Of course, both are resource heavy.

[@-_Tyger_-]

1:38 I'll just say again that this unknown signal can easily be converted into a ship with thrust in 5 directions, using only components found on the signal. You could use that to stop it from moving and also fly it to your base.

[@tylerleavitt9724]

Ship name, "Lawn Dart". Because of you get into a gravity well. The name will be self evident.

[@The-Nil-By-Mouth]

Before grinding down the unknown signal with the hydro thrusters: put a passenger seat on it and sit in it, disable the thruster override on the 1 thruster, reset the gyro yaw, pitch and roll to 0, turn the battery back on then use the gyro to spin the ship in each direction until it stops moving. Should help reduce your death count.

For escort missions. It would be cool to have a big enough ship that can enclose the cargo ship in a hanger or something to protect it while you fight the enemy drones.

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

To me, the search ship screams that it is the Golden Dragonfly, because that's what it looks like to me. The large grid tanker, with the white accents on it, I'd say the Gilded Scepter. Because the Gilded Grub just evokes such negative connotations, with the swept solar panels I'd say it's the Gilded Moth. Now the combat ship should have black accent bands and be the Brilliant Bumblebee, to follow suit. But I'm looking forwards to seeing what other ideas Splitsie and the community comes up with!

[@WarGiver]

The boom tail gives it a helicopter look, or dragonfly/Lexx style. You do mostly search contracts with it. Both together... "Seek-King Rex".

[@deadreckingds]

The small ship should be called " dragonfly" just because it looks like a dragonfly

[@ranow3389]

That little stingray, dragonfly, airplane ship is a great little ship now. The organic transformation as you had the required parts is what's making this a great series. I know the search contracts must be getting tiring to do, but hopefully the ship you'll be able to buy at the start of next episode will allow you to get away from needing to do them to make money. And, once you've done all you can with the vanilla economy, look forward to seeing what you can do with some modded economy

[@eshfrog]

btw, you can press spacebar to accept options that pop up on your screen like when you click the unknown signal button, or when you cut or delete a ship in creative mode. Its a bit faster and easier when you are trying to accept an unknown signal as quickly as possible.

[@jacoblansman8147]

I would suggest constructing a limpet ship, by which I mean a ship that is designed to latch onto those drones with a mag-pad or a landing gear and then tear them apart with a ship grinder or two. It'll be faster than grinding by hand, you'll have some protection against being shot and you'll be able to salvage entire drones of their components.

i have a new " game mode " for ya, on a player server, you do welding jobs for survival/money/components meaning oxygen/hydrogen... money to buy stuff with and components as a request. like a hired worker. gotta get the server to agree on it though. you can make it interesting by creating a contract with people on a datapat where you state what you want and what you can offer and people can leave you requests or contact you personally in chat. could make it even more interesting by once you got to a certain point.. you can make a " base " where you repair stuff for people and or build something for them and then you can also buy stuff from people ( like hydrogen and oxygen ) for your base. might be best on ground on a planet.

[@warriorsabe1792]

What I would have done instead of hitting it with my suit is take advantage of the fact it drifts in a straight line: place a GPS at it, then follow it for a little bit, then place a second GPS - I can then go to the first marker, and from there the second marker tells me exactly what direction the thing drifted in so I can just fly to and past it to catch up

Recommendation for the tail of the scout. Staircase the rear thrusters to simulate a vertical stab.

Hi Splitsie i like your videos but i got 1 question why in unknown signals with thrusters u dont turn forward thruster overdrive and use a gyro at max rotation use it to stop this grid i use this manny time and dont need to face splatsie

[@zackzeed]

The G menu has a search bar you know? xd Also H2 thrusters have a passive drain so turn those off when they're not needed :) I like the series so far, allthough it's not exactly what I would do. I'm that sort of person who doesn't like getting limited by certain rules, but that's just my preference of course. - Also what I mean with that is that I would prefer to play with a bigger inventory for example.

[@Splitsie]

The passive drain on thrusters is so small it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things so I rarely worry about turning them off :)

[@zackzeed]

@@Splitsie Well I can't remember how much it was but I just thought that H2 was harder to come by in your videos that it might be good to save it by turning off the thrusters. But I'm also one of those people who always turns off everything that isn't needed to save fuel/power =)

[@edwardboatman4554]

My name suggestion is "The Mayfly" since it kind of looks like a winged bug, and wasn't planned to live long.

[@_Kitetsu]

41:52 Why yes, yes you can. I've dragged npc's all over the place on a modded server with slightly boosted ions. Mod aside.. with enough POWER, it does work. Although I will say I had to add another lockon point to force-tow a huge ship, as the1 landing gear broke. But 2 did work fine. The question is, is it worth the time on a run like this to build that many vanilla thrusters to over power it. Idk, its a personal thing maybe. Im not a streamer so I have all week to mess around, so I would understand adding those calculations into your gameplay.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

I think your ship would've benefitted from a detachable section with your cargo. Keep some basic materials on you, but have most of the weight left behind while you keep the majority of the thrusters, for those search contracts where you just return to the station anyways. Ironically, despite being intended as a hydrogen trader (and that detachable front was a cool concept, I think it's intended to swap out the tanks themselves before you welded it together), the large ship serves pretty much this exact purpose. For your little space glider, I don't know what name to give it but I do think it needs its old orange put back on all the parts that have been swapped to the brighter yellow of the large ship. The difference is surprisingly annoying to look at. The escort contract ship looked like it was trying to follow a moving point. I envision it as an invisible rail that it's supposed to travel on, probably a waypoint like the AI system actually uses, and it might stop if the ship is knocked off course. To test that it might be necessary to hold the ship just a little off to the side and see if it tries to aim at a moving point or a stationary one - in order to prevent cheese it might be that the waypoint only moves when the ship is near it, and the waypoint reaching the end is how it gets completed. Or I could be completely wrong. Who knows!

[@Splitsie]

The ship was never orange, it's always been yellow so I'm not sure where you're getting that from? It very much seems like that to me too, like it was trying to follow waypoints in the same way the autopilot does, as to what the end point is, I think it's time based but also not 100% certain and would require creative mode to properly test

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

It seems to have two different shades of yellow. Maybe not fully orange but but one closer to orange, on the solar panels most prominently. I'm pretty sure they're different, or maybe SE's changing-screen-color-based-on-nearby-colors thing is pulling one over on me.

[@stingray_129]

About 9 minutes in "Lets see if I get lucky...proceeds to crash and die" Haha

Splitsie bro, how do you not cheat it's soo hard... I basically started an almost identical play through once I saw your first video in this series. I died two times before I had a survival kit. Got stranded at a station because I ran out of Hydrogen and could not get any power cells. I did discover though if the station has Gas, you can fill your suite with Hydro from the store. Crazy tedious play through and i have over 2600 hours in game. I just crashed my scout ship into the moon and I'm so frustrated, but not giving up the challenge, just going to start over and hope I have better luck this time. Thanks for the videos!! This channel is definitely in my top 5 KZbin viewing channels for sure!

[@ottopay3813]

Just a thought on the escort missions. Would it be possible to attach a gun platform, in the style used in Assertive Acquisitions asteroid base, to the ship you are escorting. That way you aren't using your own ship, just attaching a weapons pod. Always enjoy the content.

[@Splitsie]

I think it might be, but I need parts to give something like that a power source which is the tricky part

[@shadowslayer552]

love this series

[@VeilingSun]

Buying only from stations and building a larger ship would be pretty interesting. As much as commandeering other ships and their materiel, staying fully within the economy of the factions might be more fitting of the challenge. The lack of items from stations, especially for basics such as plates, and batteries is just a bug IMO. It would really put pressure into making the design efficient, especially if you want to do escort missions normally. There are some mods where stations sell more stuff and for cheaper when you raise reputation with them and wouldn't be out of place with the setting of the Bankruptcy start.

[@Splitsie]

If the missions had more variety and as you say if the stations routinely sold some parts that would be helpful for running them, it would be a more viable playstyle to do it entirely on its own. I kinda knew that going in which is why I let the SPRT faction be fair game (same with Factorum, but by the time I get to them I probably won't need to steal their stuff) :D

[@JonathanBlack]

I really hope SE2 opens up contract and dialogue modding to people. I'll really help flesh out a variety of gameplay options that are more difficult to pull off in SE.

[@faceplant950]

Don't know if you've noticed, but on the little ship, if you moved the "wings" back a bit, it would rather resemble a dragonfly. :)

[@Splitsie]

Yeah it would :D

[@joshuataylor516]

A mission like you were talking about around 30min I would view that like a Smuggling mission where you have to get it past almost like a picket line of defensive drones.

[@teilanittv]

I kind of wish Keen would put a speed limit in the game setup options and server option. Have it default to 100 and 105 under power then allow players and servers to adjust it to where they want it. If there is a performance hit because of it, people can just change it to where they want it. They could also add a few other options such as suit max speed, large and small grid max speed, NPC max speed, etc.

[@Splitsie]

I mean, mods can do that and it means that Keen don't have to explain why physics goes weird if it's done with mods so I can understand why they're not motivated to add something like that
