Space Engineer is like a mixture between Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program.
The main purpose of the game seems to be building a space fleet and fight/ally with the other factions. You build your ships piece by piece and the only know limit for the size of your ship is what you computer can handle.

[@glowbomb1223]

Laughed so hard when i saw the massive hole that the “missile” made and Aron saying about “a little hole”.

[@ethanwarner699]

have you experimented using the blast door blocks as a penetration cap on the front of a missile to punch a hole through armour and deliver the Nanite bots?

[@LastStandGamers]

Will give it further testing today not sure if the hole made will be large enough.

[@mmmmmmcookiesaregood]

Wow, that's interesting. Warheads seem to be more effective at damaging the ships as a whole, while these destroy systems

[@colonelcat8639]

This is a cool idea. Imagine a team of spies who sneak aboard as faction members and escape while they watch the ship rip apart from the window of an escape pod.

[@jonathanrakowski9322]

Build a pod that latches onto the hull of a ship and activates multiple gravity generators facing the same way (not the way the ship itself has gravity) and everyone not sitting or flying in the ship (such as engineers) will get sucked to the side, hit the wall, and probably die. The gravity must overpower the ship’s gravity and without engineers fixing the ship, the interior is completely helpless. Though it may use lots of power, it could be fun experimenting with.

[@superchrispiks]

Buzz droids, anyone? I could see this potentially being useful, if it were used to take out a squad of fighters or something like that. But for a capital ship? Why not just put a hole in it?

[@LastStandGamers]

I do like that name.

[@bananajoe113]

Good luck trying to catch a squad of fighters with it. If anything I'd aim the droids towards the inside of the ship. Imagine the way tank mines work, but instead of explosives it's droids.

[@superchrispiks]

LastStandGamers, oh shit. You actually replied to my comment. •_•

[@superchrispiks]

William Cherry, give them a few Thrusters, a sensor, a grinder and viola. Idk could that work? I'm still learning about SE.

[@TheRezro]

@superchrispiks I could see this potentially being useful, if it were used to take out a squad of fighters or something like that. Not really. Fighters and gunships are high maneuverable and usually rocket is more efficient then a grinder. Setting up sensors also would be pain in the butt. "But for a capital ship? Why not just put a hole in it?" Because capitals are usually well armored? In theory well designed buzz drone would go behind the armor and attack soft guts of the ship. In practice it has limited use though. It would be great for traps but not so much for direct combat. "give them a few Thrusters, a sensor, a grinder and viola. Idk could that work?" It could.. but give them thrusts, sensors and turret and it would work better.

[@xavilius9488]

imagine someone making those things, launching them, forgetting about them and a few days later some other guy just gets their ship destroyed by rogue buzz droids

[@DanielLawsTheAmazing]

The micro-grinders may actually be more effective then you think. When inside, they will be targeted by turrets and there is a good chance that the ship's own turrets or allied turrets will attack itself. Also, once the micro-grinders escape, they will act as good decoys allowing you to get even more inside. I will definitely do some experimentation with stuff like this.

[@rightfullegos8424]

You should implement this with one of your gravity torpedo things you made a while ago, this could launch them deep into thick armored ships which would cause a huge amount of damage and you could lower the chance of them escaping.

[@ransombot]

Ya gravity gen's with some extra rock in side pulsing back and forth in a larger radius would turn the own ship into a weapon as it destroyed it.

[@EU_DHD]

Just fire more of them first thingies. Seemed to be a bit more effective to be honest.

[@KaelRhoades]

Then later on you’re flying through space and you hit one of these

[@originalamerican9396]

Never attack planets loyal to LastStandGamers. He knows ways to ruin you for life.

[@Temido2222]

Perfect for aiming at an engine room. If you could scale these up a tiny bit so they'd stay in the ship they'd be perfect

[@deedye5361]

IDEA: Two consoles: one for main ship you fly, and another console on the inside of the ship. The other console controls one of these drones, so in a battle you can have control over one, or control a swarm.

[@SovereignVis]

Have you tried, instead of having the drones all launch off after the timer ends. Have the racks they are on spin and only launch once they detect a large ship in front of them. That way you don't launch half your payload into space and you would launch them like 2 at a time once they spin around and detect the large ship.

[@EvelynH-tj1qt]

Strap a ton of mini warheads to a piercing ship that pops off about 20 in random directions with random timers

[@doctorplays-ox1qg]

*I* did something more damaging. I managed to make a multi-stage warhead which would do 2 things. 1. Detonate a armour piercing warhead (personal design, it wedges in then explodes) 2. Push into the hole again, this time use a fuck ton of explosives to widen the hole 3. Continues pushing until it is in the ship until the prime bit is lodged in place. Then, it launches off (in waves) sets of 4 missiles within the vessel which (of course) cause massive internal trauma. In *one* fortunate occasion it hit a warhead bomb bay (cluster bombs) meant for bombarding planets and oh *man* were the crew in for a bad time. See it only crippled the vessel not destroyed it, so it drifted off into space. They had no hyperdrive, no engines, no reactor. They were alive, however. The crew is supposedly still adrift to this day, somewhere. So far into space that we'll never see 'em again.

[@wolfwaya]

here's a thought, add a couple sensors and a gyro, so if the forward sensor doesn't detect anything the grav block is shut off and the gyro does random rotation until it detects a shop/station then the grav block is back on. should help minimize those things from leaking out

[@kezzler9556]

I love it, it's the ultimate terror weapon. Having something like this hitting a large base or ship would indeed be a nightmare for any team. I was thinking perhaps launching 20 armored decoys beforehand, and then grinding drones with a warhead on a timer could be fun as well.

[@hollowvoices1268]

Here's an idea for you. Set up a heavily armored drone with a spherical gravity generator set to pull things toward it, then set up a second drone that spews out a lot of buzz drones outside of the ship and if you jam the spherical gg drone inside an enemy ship then all the buzz drones you launch will be pulled into the ship from the outside

[@mwbgaming28]

weaponized autism much

[@theflippantmumm-ra6851]

A pod that builds hundreds of them after attaching to the ship and cutting a small hole to allow the blighters in might be more effective.

[@zachf.7854]

The sabatoge drones i use have gun-turrets on them for when engeneers come to disable them. Granted the sabatoge drones i use are larger and have armor, so its less "sabatoge drones" and more "automated kill-bots with grinders attatched".

[@nickkepley9294]

Put remote control blocks on them, add a single thruster and a gyroscope, and control them manually. The delivery system looks quite good, the drones just need some guidance.

[@r3dp9]

If you're using gravity blocks, why not give the nanite carrier two spherical gravity generators? Set one to antigravity with a low radius (to propel nanites away from the carrier) and one to positive gravity with a large radius (to keep nanites from escaping from the ship). You could also give each nanite thrusters and gyro, but that would increase the complexity and size.

[@darkstryker1]

A small carrier drone with these mounted inside, fly in and attach to the hull of the enemy and unleash them would probably make them much more accurate and deadly

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

You know what you need....a disposable nose cone to punch through armor with the stone inside Or A war head that detaches soon after launch with some light armor..... In case of guns and shrapnel.... It detaches first and then the drone comes in wasting no time... That way you can make them like torpedo tube areas or a torpedo boat style on the side

[@randallvolk8437]

You could add a warhead to them linked to a censor so that the moment that a player tries to get close enough to grind, they are going to have a real bad day.

[@inakyturner7471]

Buddy i think you meant iteration not alliteration😊

[@LastStandGamers]

When do I ever say the right thing.

[@inakyturner7471]

LastStandGamers aww I feel bad now haha

[@lilyrooney]

Yaktakalaky i think he meant a lot of things... He's a lovable mong though

[@CrazyDutchguys]

its also friday, not fridee (intro)

[@jonathanrakowski9322]

Commander Nightingale Its you lol

[@Hobbyrepubliken]

Finally a weapon test on a real ship!

[@LastStandGamers]

haha was about time as the targets really don't simulate anything but accuracy.

[@dtbeagle]

I would try to find a way to make that a tandem charge. The odds of an enemy ship staying perfectly still for that long is slim to none, so having the drone delivery system attached to or closely following behind the warhead would work better in a combat scenario

[@PUNCHEDPUNCHEDPUNCHED]

Would love to see this completed and used in your future large ship battles XD

[@e.m.p.3394]

I remember when u first saw this when I was younger. Pepple should use this more.

[@zoeymcshane4789]

These are probably the best weapon you've ever designed.

[@LastStandGamers]

Or this could be kzbin.info/www/bejne/roKci4GIq7SYqbM

[@CaptPatrick01]

This... is just one of the most awesome contraptions I have ever seen you make LSG! Gaddamn, 3:46 is just *SO SATISFYING* to watch!

[@LastStandGamers]

Thanks buddy, needs to be made more reliable.

[@skd3945]

Last time game I love your work it's just amazing keep the videos up

[@LastStandGamers]

Thank's buddy for the support.

[@geminitvilling]

Awesome!

[@sgtmajorfish189]

i just have a cannon that pierces through most capital ships, and if it gets lodged it keeps applying force, moving the ship. not to mention your idea gets flat countered by gravity shields, which is a fairly simple thing to set up, so when you consider that most ships that would be large enough to effectively use this on are already well protected the idea almost becomes redundant. it is still a cool concept but not that efficient, but when keen fixes the projector bugs ill finally finish making a truly overpowered 2 stage weapon.

[@hyperschooldropout8724]

I love it! Post it on the workshop? I promise I won’t terrorize NPC ships with it...

[@jmbrady1]

that tiny thing is terrifying, imagine if someone managed to set one up manually in less than 30 seconds

[@bentleykennedy-stone673]

Congrats on being the largest space engineers youtube channel!

[@ianofwater5188]

Can't you make a pulsing gravity field into the landing ship which pushes away and pulls the drone to it in such a way so the drones can't escape?

[@sigspearthumb3904]

That's exactly what I was thinking LOL! Great minds think alike.

[@ianofwater5188]

立黄 :D

[@LastStandGamers]

Now that sounds like a good idea if its not damaged in the assault.

[@ethanheikkinen1210]

I would rig the second stage with warheads to detonate a bit after the grinding machines have deployed to cause further damage

[@B_Skizzle]

Wow, that’s one hell of a nasty way to tear apart a ship.

[@lloydsadofsky8411]

What if the enemy ship has gravity generators, wouldn't it just push your attack pods out of the way? Also you should try to improve this and use it on a mass scale.

[@JNJNRobin1337]

Do The Pods/Drones Have Artificial Mass Or Something?

[@baquoon1303]

Naming em buzz blades 👌

[@dabombinablemi6188]

For moving ships, I'd have drones with ejectors-that way if the ship slows down, there is even more collateral.

[@HippieInHeart]

try something like this, but lotus based. that would be pretty cool i think. so you have a big center piece that creates a hole but also has projectors and welders to build a massive amount of grinder drones as it flies towards the enemy. of course that would mean it will have to travel slower and rotate, so it would only be useful against stationary targets. or maybe you take the center piece thing with some welders and projectors and set it up so that once it's stuck to the enemy ship it starts replicating more and more of those little grinder drones. then it wouldn't matter if a few of them leave the enemy ship or get disabled by enemy defenses because there will always be more to take their place.

[@jadeviper3782]

instead of random drones that grind away, you could place detaching scatter bombs that detonate within the ship to cause even more damage

[@absinthe489]

I have a challange for you if it's worth your time,a ship idea A large warship that is split into 3 sections that separate into 3 medium sized ships and the armor plating on the outside of the ship is just drones disguised as armor,1 big ship that splits into 3 medium ships and 8 decent sized drones for armored plating. This is used as an ambush or counter attack ship kind of like a mini deployable fleet (it sound awesome in theory)

[@xtrashocking]

That does sound awesome, i wanna see this idea come to life

[@absinthe489]

XShock ikr 😢

[@gabrielibarra5551]

I'm going to try this

[@flightfaux8073]

You could put a magnetic block on the Nantes and instead of having them launch off the projectile just have them disconnect so it will chew away at a ship instead of randomly destroy it with the chance of flying away

[@tackytrooper]

Grinder weapons are cool but hopelessly impractical for actual combat deployment. In all your tests the basic explosive missiles did way more damage than the grinders did.

[@risenancient]

This is what I missed from your channel mate, your creativity for creating weapons of mass destruction, kudos

[@atomicastronaut2456]

Pairing those on a destroyer class vessle would be incredible

[@theAverageJoe25]

you have created a super weapon

[@Luminary_Morning]

You need a means of deploying these more concisely, like a rapid assembly system that churns out clouds of them.

[@jiggyjiggles8410]

I want to see these tested in a real scenario. Mounted on a ship, sent towards a moving target.

[@ghost-fd8tb]

Make a remote control lunch each of the drawings of the Pacific area and then start them grinding onthat way it provides more of a attack reason so you can actually pick the targets that you want to attack

[@Galen55]

BUZZ DROIDS!!! I want these!

[@MsAhutch]

You need to revisit some of these crazy ideas with modern se

[@swagger6364]

I find this concept quite interesting! If someone was to use this weapon on a server, they would be really overpowered! PS, can you and Scott do a capital ship battle with these?

[@scoutandprepper4855]

I made a ship that drills a hole after it latches on to another ship. Then you can have a boarding party walk safely in.

[@fifo5553]

I was thinking - what about instead of having a dedicated drone drop ship - why not creating a sort of cannon or weapon system that you could attach to a larger ship and have as an additional weapon, maybe using them as either a surprise weapon, instead of unloading some guns setting these little buggers loose while you fire on the ship that is now taking damage from within and without, or possibly as an escape mechanism, for instance if your losing a fight and want to make a run for it, blast the drones into the enemy ship and take your leave while they try and figure out and stop whats happening. Who knows, you may be able to come back later and take them and the resources back if they wreck the ships weapons systems. That or use the warhead design

[@dairegraham5338]

You should put timed warheads on the nanites

[@blackwolf6013]

This would be a good mone field design as well like instead of bombs you have them in random in place ment around your docks only going after those with out your relay signal

[@randomknight2585]

Maybe you can make a variant with an explosive to destroy key parts. Or maybe make the drones target reactors or thing like that then explode

[@Oliver-qo5kr]

STICKY BOOOOMB

[@TheAnguisher]

These little guys almost remind me of the buzzdroids from Star Wars

[@orillion3697]

since keep losing those micro grinders deploy a heavy gravity genrator topull them back inside - put the gravity on the second 1...

[@haassteambraker9959]

I think they are better off without the leading warhead. Sure less may get in there, but since the holes are smaller they don't escape as quickly. Either way, there should be some more testing, if nothing else to get an idea of the reliability when contact is made.

[@shanepye7078]

Because they bugger off or stall, each should have a warhead and self destruct after 20 seconds

[@lifeisonlyoptional2215]

I would mount a kill switch somewhere on the ship you equip with this weapon system in case the nanites come back at you.

[@birb3635]

a gravity type weapon that almost pulls ships apart

[@legostar00]

stargate spent 2 series on why this can go wrong

[@jackie32]

man now i need to make defenses for nanites

[@ianmastin]

How about s bunch of thruster drones, They would basically be huge engines that use smaller thrusters to fly to the enemy ship and latch on then fire the large thrusters in a random direction in order to make it impossible to steer and fly the ship

[@schneider1492]

so the programming needs to be more sophisticated to keep them from flying away. instead of storage on the drones they should spit the components into space, and put a gravity collection system on the carrier. but if you want pure damage put some retractable ramps on it and make it spin, it will take out a capital ship in seconds.

[@huntersmith6821]

I say shove a few warheads into a box and launch it at a ship, yup...

[@BlackAnno3397]

What about the old 4 sensors targeting system instead of the gravity thing? It should be enough to keep it aimed at the ship

[@Lily-lu5wt]

you should make a drop pod sort of like the odst drop pod from halo

[@FlySwann]

Can you do a video taking about how the game has changed over the year. I haven't played in a long time and I'm wondering if it's worth picking it back up.

[@jasonwright8546]

What if the delivery system was a bot factory as well? Pumping the little buggers out after impact?

[@clex2349]

Maybe make a nanite dropship?

[@tombassani7810]

I really like the orange pod.. there is on the workshop?

[@LastStandGamers]

Nope not really in a functional state.

[@kaksspl]

How about placing warhead on stickybomb? it'd make a hole and fly inside same moment. Aiming it alone into hole in moving ship would be not easy.

[@zakeraka6547]

Using a second warhead, just blast a hole inside the ship instead of sending in the drones, it would be more effective and cheaper (Judging by the size of the warhead to the delivery system for the drones)

[@jammedodger2384]

5:20 *the irony*

[@benskelly1217]

You could maybe do a timelapse of the drones doing their work. (This is just a spur-of-the-moment comment, I don't know how well it'll work for you if you dare try it!!!) :P

[@overfrozen1]

two questions, 1st: besides the hoverbike mod, are there any other mods involved in this? and 2nd, would it be possible for a tutorial for these or something similar?

[@syphilis6969]

Two words. Havoc Roomba.

[@zorburg6917]

bruh the missile carrying the bots did more damage than they did

[@rcskoot253]

like i asked in the last video could you see if this could be used in a orbital drop ship build

[@JC-ze2et]

Can you set it to release just before impact? because if you can, and replace the drones with warheads, you'd have a cluster bomb that could cause massive damade to even the largest ships. also, I don't know what they use, welders i think, but I've seen other weapons that after fired, automatically build the next round. if you use this for warheads, maybe using gravity to accelerate it, you'd have a very powerful weapon. or you could rig it to a fighter, and use the warheads as inertia bombs.

[@gamerelite3989]

hmm ever thought of adding a replication process to weld up a secondary grind wave after first wave hits?? sorry this popped up 3 years after in recommended :P

[@Meltdown29]

Add a remote control to the drones

[@legobuildingsrewiew7538]

This is only good to deploy personel. They cant plant warheads once inside and wreck everything. Or take over the ship

[@jacobcherchio4471]

Awesome idea, but, this wouldn't be used in scraping situations. This would be for pirating or getting rid of pirated. You can't collect the materials they earn. But really cool idea

[@slumberingember]

Portal Guy maybe modify them to carry some of the supplies they grind down?

[@morgankeerie8038]

eat away and then after 30 seconds self destruct via warhead? That would be cool

[@LastStandGamers]

Only if the small warheads did more damage :[

[@akuokami1677]

I need to see this in a fight.

[@mikes878]

Would there be a way of creating an internal “last resort” weapon where if you’re surrounded by enemies and you have no change of winning, you sacrifice your ship with an explosion that wipes out your enemies too? It could be helpful in team battles where you can escape using an escape pod while your ship destroys itself and everything around it. Then you can dock on one of your teams ships?

[@angusmacdougall9732]

I believe this is referred to as "Ramming speed."

[@goof2118]

How about placing remote controls on the drones and have a few players control them once they've been deployed?
