![]() and watched him kill himself Just as I arrived. Ironically enough, I usually score 50 or so extremely redundant hand drills for my trouble, but that's another story. I'd done that a few times myself, with Commercial Shipment vessels. Obviously, he was jumping out of his ship to try to board the Sail and wanted to be able to find his way to his ship again. Then some poor fool turned on his ship's beacon, and it was right next to a "private sail" npc craft. It was surprisingly slim pickings tonight. So, having completed my pirate monstrosity, I went hunting. It also has a rocket launcher mounted pointing forward. ![]() But I managed to figure out a way to get a conveyor feed to the dorsal turret, so now it can load itself forever and I only have to manually load the ventral turret. I had to ditch the side turrets for the same "reverse thrusters" problem Ashburner was having. The reason ship-mounted welders and grinders are faster, btw, is because they are AE, and can hold more parts in inventory than you can. If you have a smaller "Large" ship with a refinery, drill, assember, and conveyors connecting them all, you can set up a production queue, go drilling, and as the ores are collected by your drill they will automatically funnel through the conveyor to the refinery, which will then put the processed ores into the assembler, which will then build the items you queued. ideally into the collector.Ī conveyor setup is a monumental time saver. Or, you can set up a collector on the ship/station with the refinery which catches things that free-fall into it, and put an ejector on your small drill ship (an undocked collector can also do this) and the ejector can jettison (at about 1m/s) anything you want, letting it float in a straight line. If the refinery and the drill are on different structures, you can use a connector on each structure to "mate" the two cargo systems, and transfer stuff across inventory from any control panel or cockpit as if they were all one vessel. It doesn't even have to touch the tube so long as it's door-to-door with something that is (or something that is door to door with something that is door to door with. Connecting the "doors" on the various parts with conveyor tubes will make the stuff inside go where it is most logical to go, so long as you have a conveyor unit somewhere attached in the line. If the drill and refinery are on the same ship, you can use a conveyor system. back down to business.Ĭlick to expand.Yes. This time I gotta find an asteroid to build inside/on the leeward side of, sheltering from the storms. no space-garages floating in the unknown void, subject to the whim of passing meteors. Now my search is on for a new place to call home. Hopefully it won't give him such a head start he actually can build defenses. Deposited that in the easy-to-raid rival base, too. Flew around, found a ship seemingly flying in circles loaded with uranium and various expensive parts. Gathered up what booty I could carry in a temporary noobship and deposited it in the undefended base of a rival I'm pretty sure I can raid again later. Other turrets were dry of ammo, so apparently it was a bad night for meteors. Devastated my base, ship destroyed, lost my refinery and half my armor/structure and even a turret. Went to bed.Ĭhecked on it again this morning. they target anything that moves including who built them! So turn them on from a safely obscured control panel). Late in the evening, I powered down all nonessential base systems to preserve uranium fuel, ammo'd up and then powered up my defense turrets (you have to be careful because there is no friend/foe distinction on turrets these days. When I was done I let em know who did it, too. ![]() I heard a team of people bragging how they were laying claim to the central asteroid cluster (the only one with a marked beacon, mentioned above), so I welded a gatling gun to the roof of my drill ship's cockpit and went a-raiding. Over time I managed to build a base floating in the void off the beaten path, and through my scavenging managed to equip it with a few gun turret defenses. ![]() But then as I scavenged the remains a meteor shower hit and destroyed my ship, along with all the cargo. Some other guy tried to run me over with his ship, I jumped in mine and fired up the drill and rammed his cockpit, going full bore (literally), killing him. It was easier to scavenge the meat from the bones of dead bases and ships floating in the void. The asteroids on the server I was playing on were few and far between, only one cluster marked on the beacon and it's a death zone with people murdering each other just for another liter of magnesium. Playing space engineers on public servers has turned me into a Space Pirate. ![]()
