It might be neat to have drone fights where 2 players meet up, but don't directly fight. They each launch a drone and they let the drones fight each other like Robot wars and see who comes out on top.
@@skylerrobbins3910 I'm pumped for it. My uninformed guess is that Klime has to figure out how to control the drones in 3D (thus the current within 200m of ground requirement). Could use a Homeworld or similar style interface by holding down a modifier key (shift or etc) to switch the Move click from X-Y plane to Z plane distance adjustment. But I'm pretty sure if Klime's already gotten this far, then that is on the to-do list!
Welp in short my dream is to make a really big ass mother ship what can make four types of drones and make commands for them, like drill shield, scout drones will make a will line up in the form of a large cone, attacking the target along the way while repair drones and individual vehicles repair the entire ship, so it will be protected without losing firepower, just about five drones should be combined into destroyers. Simply put, on all these ideas, you can write an essay as a whole, but so far this business has not gone further than approximate drawings
Honestly hoping to use the drones as cargo convoys with escorts. Just want a fleet to follow me lol wonder if you can send signals via laser antenna to sync with a comms drone to update your position after jump and have several drones jump near to you... just thinking, likely to complicated :c
I think jump drives can only be activated manually, unfortunately. But there are likely mods to fix that, so maybe it's not so far fetched of an idea 😮
1) What Tristan said, jump drives require player onboard to activate 2) laser antennas only work between two fixed locations, using GPS coords Just park the drones with landing gear on your main ship, and detach/activate them after jumping.
I try to stay away from mods that change functions of the game, and certain scripts can overcome the fixed position issue, usually by setting the laser antenna position on stationary crafts and connecting that way... wouldnt be constant due to moving, but it would give a link
@@truejoshi8569 but if there's a grid limit and you need a new drone immediately or a busted one can't get back into the fight or needs more ammo and is taking to long to redock
Something unfortunate: event controller can't really do the distance to locked target with the offensive combat ai (without some reset timer shenanigans, tldr: resetting the ai block has it immediately relock the same target) so cluster bombs are slightly harder
@@BURN7Gaming It does work but the event controller has a hard time updating itself when it has achieved a lock, although it is quite easy to fix by having 2 timers in a loop turn the EC on and off again, if that is to your tastes
@@BURN7GamingAh that's too bad. The only thing holding me back from getting more into space engineers is that the planets seem kind of ugly and boring.
something that bugged me is when you wrote the PCU you used a dot an example of what I mean is if you wanted to write five thousand and five hundred you would write it as 5.500 which because of the dot that would actually mean five and a half the correct way would be 5,500 which would mean five thousand and five hundred its a small detail but for some reason it really bugged me anyway great video.
@@LavaDa1shiIn Europe we use both methods. But generally speaking, when you put a comma, it means 5 and something, not five thousand four hundred.....
It is possible, yes. Although quite complex and would take up a fair amount of space in the drone to make it all go smoothly. Especially with small drones which get destroyed easily it's probably more efficient to have them be single-launch and print a new set

What do you think about these drones? Yes or NO?
As a space engineers fan and gamer I say.... This is the next step into space gaming evolution!❤️🔥❤️🔥💯
@@BlueWolf2004 Agree
yes
Are all of these drone carriers using SE Automaton new ai blocks and ai systems and are completely autonomous?
Although the second drone rushed and ram the target like its a foking missile?!
Begun, the Drone War has
May The Force Be With You😅
“Execute update 66…”
@@StarWarsNerd1465 🤣
Saw this on a splitsie video, I did. Unoriginal you are
Thanks for the giggle!
So, the Mule isn't so much a drone carrier as it is a multi-vector assault ship.
The last ship just basically did Star Trek saucer separation

Didnt think it would be a cinamatic like that, godamn thats amazing
thanks
Dang that Mule I'll take that as inspiration dam that my dream ship+drone combo.

Need a drone that self destructs after 5-15 min. Should be easier to print new ones off vs. docking.
I'd say just setup an event controller to let it detonate on low battery and only have it turn on when releasing the drone
@@truejoshi8569 but if there's a grid limit and you need a new drone immediately or a busted one can't get back into the fight or needs more ammo and is taking to long to redock
@@noneyaonenoneyatwo2879 in that case a minute timer might be wise, both could probably work together and be useful
big yes!
Looking forward to more. I get ideas from these showcases.
Thanks
Ah yes, ships of mass destruction
great job
That was one awsome showcase :)
Thank You 😃
Something unfortunate: event controller can't really do the distance to locked target with the offensive combat ai (without some reset timer shenanigans, tldr: resetting the ai block has it immediately relock the same target) so cluster bombs are slightly harder
You can do this with the offensive AI controller by selecting the closed target, distance and so on. Or I didn't understand what you ask.
@@BURN7Gaming It does work but the event controller has a hard time updating itself when it has achieved a lock, although it is quite easy to fix by having 2 timers in a loop turn the EC on and off again, if that is to your tastes

I hope they fix all the bugs soon.
What bug? I haven't had any issues with it.

Do you recall drones from the carrier? as in, without remote connecting to each one ?
if yes, would like to know how
probably a way to do it with event controllers. if "Ammo is below X Percentage" "Return to Carrier" Or something like that.
For this video I didn't need to make them to go back. I'm still not sure how to do it but you can

This was a community event. First one focused on drones, there for the name. And among the first after the update.
