Very nice ship, I really like the ability to quickly set your ship to battle mode.
Yeah, it's not a super new feature at this point, but it was new to me when building this ship. Definitely going to add that to all my ships moving forward.
I like my doors to be shut - nice catchphrase :)
Haha, it could be mine. I have timers and sensors on all my grids to keep my doors shut (without ever having to shut them myself). XD
I always like the idea of 'drive pods' or other appendages which are built to accomodate the major functional parts of a ship, because it can easily give your ship a distinctive shape. Grouping thrusters together is an obvious one, but you can also think of a dedicated hangar area that takes up a certain amount of space or a reactor section that is kept far away from the habitable areas of the ship "for safety reasons". Or landing pads that have some minimum amount of clearance and light shapes to accomodate for "approach patterns". If you role-play some requirements for your blocks it can give you a really good incentive to shape your ship a certain way.
True. I like unique ship designs that have "functional" reasons behind them. I've been making more and more slightly asymmetrical ships recently for this reason, and I really enjoy them.
This is the Ultimate Challenge Ship it's got methods for every given challenge and scenario you throw at it, and can easily be fitted with many different modded items that only need, say, an open conveyor port or a small space on your ship. well done! 12/10
Thanks! I try to make any ship I'm going to use in survival as versatile as possible. I also tend to make them printer friendly (no subgrids or supergrids).
Beautiful design. Very inspiring for me as a survival player.
Thank you! I also play mostly survival, so all my ships are optimized for that type of play.
Beautiful design bro keep it up!
Thanks! Certainly more to come.
This is one of the nicest large small grid ships I've seen. Really great work. I didn't even know that you could tie actions to being targeted, very insightful.
I didn't know either until I was building this ship. It's a pretty cool option to have.
A Interesting little ship... reminds me of when i made a small grid Escape/drop pod. it was interesting to fit everything... but i liked it for being compact for a 2x2x3 space. but well done on the small ship! (Small Grids are underrated, change my mind.)
Thanks. Yeah, small grid is definitely underrated. I really like the level of detail you can get with it.
Small grid ships can be made to look so cool.
Yeah, I'm getting into them. They take a lot more time to put together, but are worth it.
@@ShiftyshadowTV I've also tested a few ideas in creative, but for some reason all of my small grid ships really should steer clear of pirates. Seems to me that combat is very brutal towards small grids at the moment. It's so much easier to make something combat viable (but ugly) in large grid.
Yes, small grid ships get shredded quickly. They need to be extremely mobile so that they can dodge basically all incoming fire or stay out of range. Large grid is the way to go for combat, Small Grid is the way to go for detail. That's why I say this isn't really a combat ship, even though it has quite a few guns. It might be ok against a casual pirate in a small grid ship (or space suit), or for sniping something. Against a large grid or a dedicated small grid fighter you're better off running though.
Hey good job Shifty! Very nicely done!
Thank you! :D
Awesome ship. I like it
Thanks! I've gotten really into the small grid designs recently so more are in the works.
I quite like this small ship design. I has a nice exterior shape and the interior, while small, is very nice. This would make a nice short range transport ship or a shuttle craft for transporting materials. My one criticism, more of a nitpick anyway, is that there isn't a way to access the engineering area with the piping and thrusters from inside the ship. It's not primarily a combat vessel, so it's not as necessary, but it would probably be a good addition. I don't know how you would do that without changing the ship's profile though. Awesome looking ship, a well designed, if small, interior and very functional for what you'd want to use it for.
Thanks! I do like the idea of an engineering room, but it would definitely require a design rework as there is exactly zero empty space in the back part of the ship. It's a solid, efficient, functional brick. XD One of my next designs maybe.
@@ShiftyshadowTV Oh before I forget again, one thing I didn't mention that I do really like about this ship is how you built the airlock. I might nab the basic design idea, once I get around to actually buying SE that is...
@@dragonmaster1500 You should, it's great. I use it on all my ships (big and small) because it's so easy to set up. One sensor set to close both doors when is detects you entering or leaving its range, that's all.
“It’s not a combat ship but I did put a few Gatling guns and oh yeah FOUR forward facing Hidden Railguns”
It's always nice to have options, hahaha.
Ikr!
ok so, what if you added some custom turrets to it with a few auto cannons? totally could see them one on each side.
That would be interesting. It would certainly look cool, not sure how practical it would be though. Mostly because this ship would probably be shredded in combat (small grid light armor). Gatlings are there mostly to keep space suit pirates and missiles away.
It have RSI Conny vibe to me inside this ship.
That's from Star Citizen right? (Haven't ever played it myself.) Not what I was going for, but I'll take it.
@@ShiftyshadowTV Yes Indeed. No matter if this is only coincidention, You done nice work.
@@qtatrongaming Thanks :D
Can I just ask, which mod pack does the cryo pods come from?
That is the vanilla small grid cryo pod, added back in 1.191. This ship has no mods.
Hello, very nice ship thx. I would like to get the "Astra" one you show at the end, is it possible?
Sure, it's not polished but you can check it out here if you want. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2895589267
@@ShiftyshadowTV Thank you very much. I love this tyle of ship. I play alone on personnal servers =) I've got a question : How is you ship so stable with pistons? Moreover (french traduction) "share the inertia tensor" is not active! How do you do? Thank you again, i love the style of your ships =)
@@mlfunmix I'm not sure. It just worked out very stable. Probably because there is only one subgrid, and it is relatively light compared to the main grid.
Did you use some mods to have gravity on small grid ship?
No, the floor is level enough to walk on with mag boots. For the video I did put a small large grid platform below the ship with a gravity generator on it though.
Hi! Can you post the blueprint for the companion? Thank you!
I don't recall if it's polished, but here's a link: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2895589267
@@ShiftyshadowTV Thank you very much!
Huh, I didn't know you could connect through unwelded catwalks like that.
You can actually connect through welded ones too, I just like the way the unwelded ones look (as if you could pass stuff through them). And they keep you from falling into the connectors. Any thin block works I think... you could probably completely hide your connectors behind panel blocks if you wanted.
@@ShiftyshadowTV incredibly neat! I might have to play with that as an aesthetic option. Thanks for the tip, and great ship!
Thank you! Hope you find some neat ways to use it.
Hello shifty nice ship any way you gonna upload it to modio for us Xbox players to use it looks cool would like to give it a play in my offline survival
I am on vacation (away from PC) for a few weeks here, but I will do that when I get back. And I will try to remember to do that for future builds as well, thanks for the input!
@@ShiftyshadowTV no thank you for trying and responding and enjoy your vacation
@@keeper1978 Back! And here's the upload on Mod.io: mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/hgg-luna-publish
@@ShiftyshadowTV wow omg wow thank you
