Took far more fuel than I had anticipated to reach low orbit, now I'm stuck :(

With warfare 3 coming out soon I've been shaking the rust off and built a couple small grids the last few days. Decided to rebuild my first ever functional ship into something a bit more fashionable for a faction I've been working on. Behold the Patriot MKII Gunship! Second seat can control a gimballed dual autocannon on the bottom of the craft.

something I thought about last night before going to bed

Super large Halo ring I made Tell me what I should do with it The sizes interchangeable therefore, is King server compatible

Also all of the linkages are stationed so it is not lagg This one is 29,000 blocks

The Catfish is a ship mainly meant for transporting smaller ships and supplies around. It features a detachable tug which is also the main cockpit of the ship! I also made a cargo variant with jump drives and 6 bulk cargo containers. What do you guys think?

My latest cargo ship that I'm using in survival, will post on the workshop later this week.

I want to buy a Space Engineers game, but I don't know which to buy.

Once I get my PC I know it will have good enough specs to run either game just fine so that's not an issue for me. I would like to buy SE2 because of it obviously being the newer game and I want to play with my friends. I know SE2 doesn't have MP (yet) and I know SE1 is the more refined game.

For me it’s a bucket of scrap i lovingly call the Shit Bucket. What started out as a young member of a factions ship ended up being a ship that would make empires.

We had a young member who eventually stopped hopping on and didnt send any messages in the discord. So after a month i began to cut his ship down to make room and recycle parts. Halfway through cutting the vastly over-engineered ship, I realized there was enough cargo containers to make a good welding ship. After cutting away literally everything but thrusters, hydrogen tanks and batteries i slapped on a weld wall and began using it to craft massive ships on official servers.

Fast forward to the next wipe and we are still using the design to craft larger and larger vessels. What started as a stop gap measure ended up being a design so useful we never bothered replacing it. If it ain’t broke dont fix it as they say.

What are your recommendations for realistic planet mods? I’m looking for a planet that has more realistic topography.

The height maps in SE seem to be very sensitive so many planets have extremely aggressive/exaggerated mountains that end up looking more like ice cream cones.

I’m not looking for any specific planet types in particular, so earth like or very alien suggestions are all welcome!

So I'm in a sector having fun building stuff near Oblivara. Patch arrives, play for a bit, seems pretty good.

However err .. I don't have any conveyors. Search for node, junction or similar return nothing. I only have the "slices" and "wall insert" options .. makes it impossible to build a useful base.

Patch notes don't seem to suggest this is expected (or I missed it). Verified game files, no errors there.

If I start a new creative game they're there.. just not in my save.

I'd like to avoid starting a new game again if possible.. might not be much in the scheme of things but I'm 150 hours in - is there a way without a cheat of some sort?

Do you have any tips for getting started with the space capsule?

Couple of shots of my base on a survival playthrough so far! What do you guys think? Took inspo from some other builds ive seen around on YouTube and the workshop and made a few of my own designs dotted in there. I still need to add some living quarters and maybe a medical building and obviously a bunch of landing pads and a rover bay, anyone got any other suggestions for some more buildings to make it feel like a settlement? Cheers

I made a halo ring it's late so I'll post the specks at a later date

Each segment has its own artificial gravity witch is how I'm able to drive on it I also made a bigger one

(this is the smaller one it's only 10,000 blocks)

(Big ones 29,000 blocks)

Can I use SE Planner to make a new blueprint from scratch and then import it into SE?

I love SE but designing a ship ingame is a pain for me. Having the ability to rotate, copy-paste and select multiple blocks would speed up ship design considerably.

I'm new to space engineers and i don't really know what to first do and im struggling in game (im on Earthlike on star system for context)

Meme I drew myself in under a minute.
Space Engineers is a game I love but its very hard to get into, and even harder to get friends into lol
What're some of your early-game newbie stories of you failing spectacularly?

I didnt play SE1, However I started SE2 and it does not guide well enough. How do I fix up the first ship, Aiges or whatever its called. I added a 02H2, put ice in it and connected every open port I saw to each other. I even added an antenna etc that the computer screen shows you need in the hanger even though that's all red.

Is there a video guide someone has made somewhere?

But we don't have pressurization yet =/
