Simply having a unique ore on each planet would be enough to encourage exploring.

Know what would be really sick? If the inset connector has more than one conveyor port. Basically a 6-way conveyor, but with one side being connector. Air tight. I WANT.

We know at least one side doesn't have one, we'll have to see about the rest.

[@Light.--]

Maybe this also teases a revamp of the jump drive mechanic. Maybe they're making jumpdrives better

[@Zer0sLegion]

The Prototech one seems to be faster and I presume the large grid one has more range. I think there was an open ticket on the forums for ages about being able to jump to a beacon or antenna so maybe we'll get that?

[@scoot_thru_space]

I'd like a small grid gen too but for weapons and a grav drive

[@kronosaur417]

“THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!!!!”

[@jimclayson]

It's been a couple years since I set foot on the Alien Planet, having spent the majority of my time either on Satreus (Scrapyard) or in space... and before that, I was generally on EarthLike (Water). I don't even recall any glowing plants on the Alien Planet. Seems like I need to get back out there for a refresher. Jump Drives...? I don't hate having a Small Grid option, although I don't expect to get much use out of one, especially if we're going to have to capture one rather than construct it ourselves. Small Grid Jump Drive is pretty niche. Large Grid Jump Drive is easy enough to utilize with Connectors, or just do like most people do and build a Large Grid carrier for your Small Grid craft. Gatling Turret...? More weapon options are welcome, even if they're just reskins of existing weapons. The more the merrier. It's not a "must have," but I'm more likely to get use out if it than the Small Grid Jump Drive, at least.

[@srg08]

I look forward to Jump drive. Reason is rather simple, in the moded play through of my scenario I start at 20000 km away from both earthlike and alien planets and preset milestone and objectives. The milestones will “activate” aggressive npc ( ACS, Reaper, Abomination, Raider pod). Objectives are creating fully equipped outpost on each mood and planets for upcoming massive colonisation wish me luck… I’m gonna need it.😅

[@RayS696]

The "four lights" bit caught me by surprise, you have earned a sub, good sir.

[@mattstorm360]

The thing about that new gattaling turret is it's sitting next to the old one. I think the new gatalling turret is going to be more like a PDC gun. My theory is this is something that can actually target missiles and PMWs. I think it might be 2x1. I'm happy for the small grid jump drive and i like that it's a prototech block. Going to be interesting for servers to implement this as some already used a modded small grid jump drive.

[@Zer0sLegion]

I think it was placed there purposely to both be subtle but also to stick out for people who were really looking. We'll find out soon enough regardless.

[@Zer0sLegion]

We've had multiple hints for months about a new gatling coming and I don't think we'll be getting any new weapons this update. Also, missiles don't need another nerf 😭

[@-_Dawg_-]

@@mattstorm360 I don't think it will be anything more than a reskin. But if you're looking to combat PMWs, combat jumps really mess with most vanilla ai/scripts

[@-_Dawg_-]

If it isnt just a gatling gun skin and it is a new turret, i would not be surprised if this was a large grid autocannon turret. The cargo container might be a large cargo container re-skin. Similar to the industrial large cargo container changed the conveyors

[@Zer0sLegion]

I don't foresee it being an autocannon but we will see. I can go either way with the cargo container, it could be medium, could be large.

[@-_Dawg_-]

@@Zer0sLegion I don't either, but I think it would be really nice to have! (My secret hope is that they add prototech turrets, with better aim, or a rocket turret that actually has guided missiles) A vein hope, but a dawg can dream

[@sierra1513]

​@@Zer0sLegion look at the barrels, there's only two, so it's impossible for it to be a gatling turret

[@MediumRareOpinions]

​@@sierra1513im not sure its twin barrel, its a bit too low res. May be the tripple barrel configuration of the the Warfare gatling guns with their blocky shrouds.

[@everythingdu9430]

I want that gattling to be 1 block it'll make my designs so much more compact. Like I've built a war rig 2.0, and the sides are really big because of the turrets.

[@Zer0sLegion]

🙏I hope it is so bad! I need it!

[@dylanmonstrum1538]

LOL when I saw the new jump drive, I was literally thinking "Aw man, he's gonna hate this..."

[@EAImedia]

The new turret barrel arrangement looks metal-storm-ish similar to the Starfield Magstorm or the door guns in the recent Dune movies. I like.

[@anotherlemon1053]

I really hope they make the normal jump drives prototech as well, would really help balance the progression if you couldn't just build them

[@Zer0sLegion]

Yeah, that would be a cool idea.

[@killianmiller6107]

The downside is that might make exploration more annoying, unless they provide you with a jump drive on a starter planet

[@madcodereom]

A brand new Artillery turret would be awesome even if the ones we have now are pretty good.

[@Coolguy-wl9ng]

9:13 looks like a point defense turret.

[@T_ayman]

[@jalakor]

8:08 the Picard jumpscare had me chuckling 😂 Edit: I’m really hoping that new turret variant is actually an in-between version, below a gatling but above an interior. I’m a sucker for a good and proper PDC turret, and interior/gatlings just aren’t super great at knocking out missiles. Side note: I’d love to see them add a torpedo launcher weapon so I can live out my Expanse-inspired dreams in vanilla

Just a thought; As someone who likes the Flood from Halo and the Necromorphs from Dead Space, i like the idea that maybe Factorum were possibly toying around with some sort of bio weapon made from the supposed alien fungus that eventually leads to space zombies

[@theryzinosaurus]

The new turret could also be an autocanon turret for large grid

[@Zer0sLegion]

Maybe but I doubt it.

[@WardenWolf]

We need a large-grid autocannon turret. I was disappointed by the trusses in the last update because there wasn't enough variety to make them useful.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Just build a custom one?

[@Lokiawa]

I'm excited for... - Small-grid Jump Drive - New turret

[@martinschano7267]

I would be very happy if it was a 1x1x2 (or 1x1x3) version of Gatling turret with the "bottom" block being something like a real-life turret magazine with the ability to make it look externally as 1x1x1, but internally it would not be just slapped on to the ship, but it would have to be integrated deep into the ship's structure.

[@DanNervas]

Maybe the presence of the asteroid attached to the base might mean we are finally getting airtight voxels. Which means it would be easier to make an airtight shelter inside of a cave or something.

[@tackytrooper]

I would highly doubt we'd get such a game-changing mechanic this late in the development cycle, but it would indeed be epic.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Normally they just place blocks inside the voxels to make something like this.

[@jackdaws8046]

In the footage of the small grid shuttle jumping… one of the Gatling turrets doesn’t look the same, it’s the one on the right all the way in the back as the ship is jumping. Oh damn you saw it!

[@katsuie2100]

Id love to see implications of better explosion visuals and shock wave effects such as pushing, damaging and affecting grids in general. A radiation mechanic would be interesting too considering we just handle uranium like its candy. Im aware there is the bigger explosions mod and nuclear explosions mod but id love to see a proper nuke introduced. Even if its not buildable. But im most interested in radiation mechanics and new power blocks. Even a remodel of the warhead would be cool.

thank you for these reviews they are really cool yes i agree that looks like a jump drive and the new gaitling gun i think is sitting on a cargo box to hold ammo may even be a new round one yay great job

[@festro1000]

I'm hoping the cargo is a large variant; large cargo blocks are too unwieldy for small grids, so something more streamlined would be a welcome addition to vanilla.

[@BinaryKiller_Recoded]

New Gattling is always welcome, that turret does look a lot like the Phalanx Rotory Gun system tho... Also, with the Jump drive, I do think it looks neat, just don't know really, I never use the jump drive so I am not that hyped about it, could be a really neat decoration block tho And lastly, I knew the alien planet glowed I just didn't mention it, I figured many had already done so but seems I was wrong in that department

[@ukrrooter2074]

[@totenkohpf4976]

Well I can say that I am excited for all of it. I’m an engineer and I enjoy playing space engineers and getting new stuff wether dlc or free is nice in general. But I would say that my two big one would be the prospect of a small grid jump drive firstly my inner Star Wars and Star Trek nerd loving that and secondly more weapons blocks. I love building and surviving but defending and messing with friends is fun. I would like to see not only new weapons coming to the game but weapon variations would nice as well. To add depth and tech to what we have in the combat situations within SE.

[@The_-SCD-]

Just with the way the new turret looks.. the gun shape, or the barrels at least.. they look taller than anything else. I'm personally hoping for a dual barrel autocannon turret. Considering its the only ammo type not used on large grid. I think it would be really neat.

[@killianmiller6107]

That cargo block looks to be an adaptation of the logistics cargo block (mod name: EDP - More Logistics Options), but like the new truss block(s). I have to admit, given how much Merek has publicly discouraged the idea of small ships being "viable" as mobile bases/having advanced functionality, seeing the team adding a small-grid jump drive is hilarious to me! 🤣

what im most exited, every world for me has ben the same pattern 1. Locate all resources with a starter ship and brin a decent bit of every resource (very tedious, i realy dont like this part flying hours betwen asterorids just to find platin) 2. Build a big mining ship, collect every resource ON MASS i mean unholy amounts 3. Just have fun building, exploring, goofing around I realy hope the update breaks up 1 and 2 just making the upgrade process more diverse, chalanging and unique, just breaking up the same old scanning asterorids pattern and then expand part 3 with hopefully major PvE updates coming i hope that the will be a reason to build big ships not just for fun but hard encounters where you would need that kind of power

That block you thought might be a new jump drive (or battery) could also be a new tank. And you know what would fix a lot of the problems with jump drives? If they required a new type of fuel (as well as the existing charge requirement), which is refined from a new type of resource. And new resources is something we are expecting in this update.

[@gfasterOS]

1:42 I think this implies a new Railgun turret. The tracers look like they're coming from the same ship that the camera is on, but that angle is super awkward for a custom turret. I suspect that might be the new turret that you look at toward the end - it doesn't look very "Gatling-y", with its single large-ish barrel. That being said it's a little small for a railgun, maybe it's more likely an auto-cannon?

[@Zer0sLegion]

The barrel is the same as the warfare 2 cosmetic gatling
