Like i mentioned in the first 20 seconds, I really wanted to test out some new designs rather than make a functional ship. Any name I deem this ship is essentially a reflection the potential I think the design has.
Man, this is awesome! I liked its shape, its colouring, its systems, and don't worry about the docking blocks, and the pistonated landing gears, they have been patched I think. So, well done, keep it up.
Super Nice Dropship! Unfortunatly u will get some gravity issues when u will be carrying lots of stuff because all weight will counted and your thrusters for lifting maybe do not deliver enough force to lift your cargolifter fully packed. However, I hope it will work anyway.
+Mischa Angst Yeah, I have yet to retrofit it for any actual operations, I might do it on stream, though I've moved on to some other projects. I'll mess with the design some more, thanks for the feedback! -RySome
+Le Derp François sorry a bit new to the game, do ion thrusters not have enough force to keep a ship airborne in atmosphere? I've been playing mainly creative (love ship building mainly), do they behave differently in survival to creative?
+Kyle Hallam They lose their power in atmosphere, so for a ship that's meant to pick up items from a planet surface, it's not useful when it drops like a rock.
this was a really cool video it just gave me an idea for a world of mine and maybe an idea for your next video, make a mobile base what i mean is, like a medium/large sized room with merge blocks on the top and have a large hip like the one in the video have carry it around so the mobile base would be much more useful when you have used up all the resources near and around youre base
Tip: in creative when you place blocks they have no ownership so make sure the ship and what you want to attach have the same ownership see if that helps. it still looks good :)
If the top two intersections were more curved (laterally not vertically) towards the back, it would give your craft a sleeker design. Consider remodeling it. Also two suggestions: either get rid of the black bar connecting the front and back nacelles because it would look cooler, or transform that connection into a troop transport-oriented design. Look to the Spirit Dropship from the Halo series for inspiration. Not knowing how the central compartment is rigged up I also think that overhauling this to have an interior would be a great plus. With that redesign this ship would have more functionality without sacrificing its single-purpose scheme. Just suggestions from someone who does not own the game. Sorry for intruding
Ion thrusters aren't meant for in atmosphere flying. The only reason it works is because of the shear amount you have. You should use the atmospheric thrusters if you plan on only staying on a planet, or hydrogen thrusters if you plan on going in and out of the atmosphere.
hmmn I like this idea, maybe the atmospheric thrusters instead of the smalls for up/down would have been a better idea though and would have looked nicer imo,
Small thruster are better than big ones on drop ship because they should be able to take damages and still fly in/out. It's harder to shoot 10 small thrusters than 2 big ones.
Hi RySome, you build a nice Dropship and i will build a smaller version on my Savegame if i find more iron ;) Your Merchblocks fly away because both half need to be powered.Just try 2 place a battery on your Cargoelement an all should be fine. Looking forward 2 see mor from you
I was wondering at 7:55 are those lights or hydrogen thrusters? they look like lights to me. I think if you replace them with hydrogen thrusters it will help. I am curious does anyone have any idea how gravity from planets will affect ships. Should we be worried where the center of mass is? If that is the case I think you'll need to balance your payload really well to avoid spinning. And by the way does anyone know when to expect planets, I'll need to get few days off from work :>
the problem with merge blocks is their ownership i you have claimed ownership of your ship the the merge block wont merge with the ones you are trying to place on them as they are not owned and they have to be manually merged so you need to position your ship then lock them
im sure you realised by now but those merge blocks aren't working because they are so light, they'd just bounce off! also gravity pulling it off your ship surely didn't help, just use a proper ship in 0 g m8
+Gianluca D I've tried docking to another ship with a merge block that was powered and it still didn't work, though in that case it might just be a clearance issue. Thanks you telling me :D
in the last update i don't know if the merge block work properly , but in the one before the last it work well...tomorrow i'll try if there are problems, i'll report to keen ! ;)
Your problems are probably the fault of ownership. I know that blocks owned by you don't connect to the ones that aren't. In creative mode, the blocks you place by default belong to Nobody and I guess you changed the owner of your ship to you.
Red makes it go faster.
+StarLink149 Exactly :D
+StarLink149 the ork way of thinking
+PIXLEMONKEY Needs more Dakka!
WWAAAAHHHHGGGG
Link149 thats true red js pro
Gravity is going to own your thrusters. Might need to use some hydrogen ones.
Like i mentioned in the first 20 seconds, I really wanted to test out some new designs rather than make a functional ship. Any name I deem this ship is essentially a reflection the potential I think the design has.
+RySome Merge blocks only merge when powered right?
+RySome Call it the Grizzly Transport :D
+NLTops they dont need power to connect. But the ownership has to be the same on both. I think thats his problem...
you gonna fix it to work with planets
+RySome Hey RySome, I made some ships based off of your design, tell me what you think? :D steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=575239925
Man, this is awesome!

The place where the ship is remindes me of the house from a movie called oblivion from 2013
I really like this idea man, I'll test something similar out for survival with as few blocks as possible
Super Nice Dropship!

-RySome
all of the merge blocks have to be owend by you. check that.
+Daniel Forberger Just wanted to write that, too...
Oh your dropship looks so much better than LSGs Dropship.
+M Kue Yeah but his dropships also think of functionality a little bit. This thing is 100% useless.
+Le Derp Français Why useless?
+Kyle Hallam Ion thrusters.
+Le Derp François sorry a bit new to the game, do ion thrusters not have enough force to keep a ship airborne in atmosphere? I've been playing mainly creative (love ship building mainly), do they behave differently in survival to creative?

Great Design!
You finished it!
It looks awesome!
looks awesome, I wish I had that game
Tip: in creative when you place blocks they have no ownership so make sure the ship and what you want to attach have the same ownership see if that helps. it still looks good :)
with the azimuth mega modpack u have angeled thrusters, they would look pretty good as up or downward thrusters
Absolutely badass bro very nice
Thanks!
Do you think you can make a drop pod kind of drop ship that you drop the pods from high up? That would be amazing.
It could be a hybrid with rocket/missile pods below the front part and defence turrets on top and cargo in the middle and in the back.
this looks epic... now a few years after this video have you tried replacing all the thrusters with atmos?
it looks awesome:D

at's absolutely awesome, although i think that some of the corners should have been a little less round.
Have you made sure you have owner ship for the merge blocks?
nice job on the design, but for a planetary lander/explorer it has to little up/down thrust in my opinion
All merge blocks need to be be powered before you can merge.
Not if they're being place onto a powered grid. The first ones he was trying to place should have locked unless he forgot to set the ownership.
It looks like what would happen if Ferrari built a dropship. Very nice design.
Haha thanks!
Nice design, thou the back down trusters will be a problem as you will be less stable in gravity and will to often damage the pickup !
hey rysome you have to lock the merge blocks in place for the conection to happen or it'll fall off
amazing
up and down is for a drop ship very important
Ion thrusters aren't meant for in atmosphere flying. The only reason it works is because of the shear amount you have. You should use the atmospheric thrusters if you plan on only staying on a planet, or hydrogen thrusters if you plan on going in and out of the atmosphere.
Scale it up, put some connectors/docking ports all over it, and then you got a pretty good aircraft carrier.
hmmn I like this idea, maybe the atmospheric thrusters instead of the smalls for up/down would have been a better idea though and would have looked nicer imo,
you can use landing gear in the top of the dropped ships
+Bio X or connector
That's cool.
Small thruster are better than big ones on drop ship because they should be able to take damages and still fly in/out. It's harder to shoot 10 small thrusters than 2 big ones.
There is a function- you have to have the merge blocks together and lock them in place with a button
you need power to get the merge blocks to work
did you make sure both merge blocks are owned by you? i think that matters too
I think direwolf20 would hate this ship. 1. No fuction: he only likes functioning things. 2. Good looks: he doesn't care... Lel
Hey there! Are you going to put out an update on your amazing space elevator? :)
Hi RySome, you build a nice Dropship and i will build a smaller version on my Savegame if i find more iron ;)
Your Merchblocks fly away because both half need to be powered.Just try 2 place a battery on your Cargoelement an all should be fine.
Looking forward 2 see mor from you
waht skybox is that its beautiful
That is not a skybox, he is above a planet
+Kirk Cooey no planets don't look like that, he has some kind of sky box mod but I'm not sure which one
ok

o and your merge block problem is probably the fact that your not in the cockpit to lock them in place while putting the storage module on.
You make the ships yourself or you take from other creators from workshop ?
I would drive that ship if I had a computer
Noone Think about Merge Blocks With Pistons ;) Please Think about it and Make one of it. Let ur Fantasy play with this idea.
Those thrusters wont work in the atmosphere... so if you do go down you wont be able to slow down. It looks really cool though.
u need reactors on the cargo?
Ion thrusters in atmosphere?
Green Screen Works
looks like an amazon drone
RySome can i try and fix your project up for you?
+Coolnic11 Btw its a good design!
Definitely! I encourage it! :D
I fixed everything heres the Link to it:

the problem with merge blocks is their ownership i you have claimed ownership of your ship the the merge block wont merge with the ones you are trying to place on them as they are not owned and they have to be manually merged so you need to position your ship then lock them
Space santa is comming to town. Get it cuz it looks like sled. Ok ill shut up now.
im sure you realised by now but those merge blocks aren't working because they are so light, they'd just bounce off!
also gravity pulling it off your ship surely didn't help, just use a proper ship in 0 g m8
you deserve many more subs than you have
RySome u have to merge dont place the stuff on the mergeblocks u cant place stuff on it u have to pikk it up
they dont attach cuz the other merge blocks have no power to lock
looks like a halo pelican dropship
replace the hip with ship typing error
U have to activate them derp face
Subbed :) and you should probably update your intro?
+ma9nu22 Haha, in the process, that's why i've changed my logo and artwork.... :D
Damn, if only this was on Mod.io
trueeee
air-crane, cargo plane hybrid.
No hydrogen thrusters? I don't think you have nearly enough engines pointing down to use this on a planet.
Ions don't on planets. Only hydrogen and atmospheric thrusters work on planets.
I think you have an ownership issue. Make sure the blocks are owned by you.
rear insired by Ferrari F50? :)
merge block need power to be used....
+Gianluca D I've tried docking to another ship with a merge block that was powered and it still didn't work, though in that case it might just be a clearance issue. Thanks you telling me :D
in the last update i don't know if the merge block work properly , but in the one before the last it work well...tomorrow i'll try if there are problems, i'll report to keen ! ;)
Typical ownership problem
is a problem due to the ownership
