Space Engineers

[RocketTurtle]

So, Space Engineers just came out, and if you don't know what it is, then go watch Scott Manley's video on it, it's currently in early alpha and not even close to completion. Anyways, what really makes it stand out is how good its destruction is for a voxel based game, yes, you can build ships, like Starmade.

So if any of you happen to have Space Engineers, I want you guys to post videos, pictures, etc. of any awesome crashes or destruction... or, you know, anything, ships, epic screenshots, I don't really care, I just haven't seen many people talk about it here.

I can't post anything now because the current computer I'm on is too potato-like to handle it...

Can't wait for multiplayer. (In space engineers, not KSP )

[pa1983]

Steam only? No Linux port? To bad for them then. Interesting otherwise.

[DisarmingBaton5]

Well, Elysium just released this video on the developer. Take what you will from that.

My poor Integrated Chip can barely handle it. But the stuff I've played is pretty fun. I LOVE the destruction. It makes ramming work, and also makes DIY missiles awesomer. Love it when ships just break in half also. The bending and stuff is also good effects, such as when a corridor gets rammed and the floor bends upwards.

Well, I just got it, and watched Scott Manley's

, right now I am trying to figure out how it works, so once I do that I post a few photos.... the explosions look promising though

So, Space Engineers just came out, -snip- it's currently in early alpha and not even close to completion.

Dammit! I hate the age we live in. People telling me "have you played this game" and its not even close to being finished. I've purchased to many "early access" or "still in alpha" titles to bother trying out any more. KSP was the first i bought and expected much of the same from others.

At least I've got plenty of games ready for the next couple of years

I have been playing for a few hours now and so far I have been floating around, place a few parts and ofcourse managed to ram a ship into another one I even got it to ram through and poke out the other end before I was thrown off...

Some of the asteroids have caves. The best one by far it the large roundish grey one.

Here is a base I built into a small one:

I must try this game....

[MC.STEEL]

So people complain about the fact that space sims are prety much dead,Well now they are back more voxely than ever!

[RocketTurtle]

*Facepalm* I was just flying one of the interceptors around and doing stunts flying between things... and, uh, damn Newtonian physics, I need to remember thrusters wont instantly change your direction. Lol, I may have smashed my ship to pieces while drifting sideways... stupid arcadey space fighters messing with my mind!

I'll post pictures in a few minutes.

[RocketTurtle]

'Tis my house.

O wait. Nu, it's not.

Obviously there's only one solution... FULL POWAH!

RARR!

*Thunk*

Well.

Pretty nice... but I want better...

[Deadpangod3]

My mom won't buy me the game D:

[The Destroyer]

I basically anihilated the blue ship with the red. And then the station. And then I built an epic cruiser and destroyed it. And again. And again.

[Xacino]

i cant waith for multiplayer in both games XD but ksp getting mp? long shot

Ended up getting this a couple days ago, price was too good to pass I guess. Started building a space station, sort of inspired by the space docks in Star Trek (one side is mostly done, the other side sort of exists). The plan is to extend it out at least one more 'bay', probably without the walkways underneath so that I can easily fit much taller ships.

I did build myself a Frigate, which I am quite pleased with. It's a patrol and anti-fighter craft, I doubt it has the armour to handle most other large ships. Once we can copy ships, I think I might make a destroyer out of it as well (patrol ships are smaller, destroyers are bigger). I also have a medium fighter, which handles like a shopping cart but accelerates nicely (forward). 4 guns, 2 missiles. I have plans in my head for my next ship, which will be a Cruiser., possibly a Battlecruiser depending on how large this ends up.

I also have a little fighter knocking around. Lacks rear armour, but not too bad other than that.

And for clarity, my classifications for large ships are: Frigate - Destroyer - Cruiser - Battlecruiser. Not really planning to build anything larger than that.

Got this game this week and I have to say it's really, really nice. Early alpha and it looks beautiful, the framerates seem stable and it has a load of potential.

I went wandering and found an asteroid which was kind of hollow

Good place for a base I thought, so I started building. A floor to build on and some gravity, add some lights and some power generators and away we go

The view from outside

The first level on it's way

But there is more than one tunnel through my asteroid base, so another level was needed. I built a stairwell to take us down

When the multiplayer is added and the weapons turned on this is going to be sooooo epic. I am excited by this game, looks like a blinder in the making.

[Randox]

I like the asteroid base. Also something I've not seen yet.

Spent some of my time yesterday touching up my friggate, and I also realized that it looks vaguely familiar. I think I might have been channeling a bit of Babylon 5 when I built it. Doesn't resemble any particular ship, but it has some of the general design elements. With that in mind, I'm thinking I might make my own version of the Warlock class Destroyer to serve as a cruiser in my own fleet (Destroyers are bigger in B5).

[Pyre]

Spaceship! With obligatory structural weak point!

[Monkeh]

My asteroid base expands...

This game is great

[RocketTurtle]

I know... I want weapons though!

[Monkeh]

As you can probably tell from those screenshots above...so do I

All good things etc.

[Pigbear]

do you really need that many weapons.

[Monkeh]

Well seeing as they don't work yet I have no idea. Just making my base safe before I fill it with ships. Don't want some nasty pirate types to come screaming in out of void and destroy it all now do I. All those missile and gatling turrets will hopefully keep me safe. Well find out in a few updates time I suppose.
