Why didn't he just stop moving and load the pentaxid himself. why.

Why didn't he just burn straight off like a normal person, instead started strafing. why.

You want to hear something hilarious?

You don't have to stop anymore to fill tanks/interact with boxes. That was a bug they fixed. Once he had opened the distance to 1.1km he could have continued to coast away from me, loaded his pent, and jumped out. The whole video was so much wut.

Really, super easy, burn straight off, turn off front engines, not like you can catch him once he's full speed. And then consider how much pent is available and where he could run to, like a planet.

BTW, really get them to consider stopping people jumping.

If it's under a minute or two, that would make sure people actually watch it.

Hey goons, I haven't had much time to play Empyrion but I'm slowly building up my base and going to try building an SV sometime soon.
Just for starters, should I try some of the blueprints from Steam workshop?

Nothing, it's literally all crap and will get cored in like two seconds by a properly designed ship. You should really join us, theres literally no downside, we have a ton of extra resources and pretty much zero requirements. Plus the fleet is a thing of beauty to seen in person.

Sorry, didn't see you were just starting out. Yeah, grab anything iron cheap off the workshop, it should work fine to learn with. Just make sure you're high enough level to build it!

I managed to build my own little boxy looking SV and flew around for a while. How do I land the damned thing? W makes me thrust forward but when I hit S it doesn't seem to lower the thrust and not sure if C is down or what?
The F1 tutorial tells me how to build stuff but not so much how to pilot things or whatnot.

edit: I think I got it figured out. I didn't have enough thrusters pointing in all directions.

Is there a way to mine with the HV without the damned thing flipping upside down every 5 seconds?
It seems like the fastest way to mine but most of the ores are underground and when I try to tunnel I seem to always get stuck.

Use the tiny HV from the workshop called "Ladybug" if you actually want to dig.

On HWS we use combat HVs with front drills as the deposits are long gone and we need not worry about digging when mining meteorites.

I'm guessing your combat HVs also have the harvester to cut down forests if there's too much in the way too?

Nope cause Sathium or gold is all we mine and on HWS none of that drops on systems with trees for now.

I feel like HV mining will be obsolte at end of the month with 5.1 release bringing us CV mining.

Yup we've been taking it easy this past week but I suspect 5.1 will give us lots of mining CVs to kill and fresh tears to harvest.

MY OPINION IS SEERS OF THE THRONE PROPAGANDA IGNORE MY GNOSIS-IMPAIRED RAMBLINGS
So I got this way back and was really impressed with it. It seems like Space Engineers is sucking up most of people's attention though, despite this game having much more to do in the way of actual content outside of building spaceships. Some questions though:

Is there PVE spaceship content yet?

Also, how's the activity level for goons on MP?

1. Yes. I personally think that PvE is garbage as soon as you have even an SV as it becomes rather trivial.

2. It fluctuates. We have ~6 masochists regulars during US prime time and a steady trickle of new joiners - most of whom quit after a week.

Few more of that. Group's decided they're just kinda done, so ixnay on rolling into the discord on my part.

It's a pretty neat game though, at least. Even if my group's out for now I'll probably end up checking back in on it later. The CV miner stuff looks real promising and I hope it smooths over some of the resource gathering issues.

If this is why you guys quit - uh - we don't have ANY resource gathering to do.

Seriously. We're very much post scarcity and one of the richest factions on the server. People may come and go but their autominers stay.

We figured as much, so nah that's just more something I noticed while playing. Even without a fleet of autominers, it's a lot better about resource gathering than a lot of other survival games like ARK. CV miners looks like it'll make this game even better about that.
