Man, for real... I hate Hate HATE Weaponcore. It's obnoxiously tedious to set up and even use weapons via WC. You have to read all of these guides and watch a bunch of videos to even figure out how to turn your weapons on and make them shoot at anything. On the other hand, vanilla weapons have sucky AI and tracking.

My hope (and biggest worry) is that modding for SE2 is gonna devolve into a split like SE1 did.

Basically Weaponcore VS everything else.

I'm only now getting into using Weaponcore because it breaks nearly every other weapon mod, and I really hope SE2 doesn't get divided like that.

The new grid system is amazing, and I played SE2 the moment it released, and I'd hate for a community split to happen again.

With regard to the new grid system in SE2, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. If you look closely at some of the hull sections on my model, particularly the bow, you'll see that in order to achieve the detail I wanted I had to build a bow plate in small blocks and attach it to the ship using hinges. Of course workarounds like this degrade the performance of the model and introduce all kinds of opportunities for klang to randomly tear the ship apart.

[well I guess technically it was scuttled but ehh... semantics]

Yeah I can understand that.

But hey, Space Engineers 2 is in Alpha, so maybe someone will be able to do the Tachi justice with it's 25cm grid system somewhere down the line, though that doesn't help fix the issue with it's Bethesda-esque pocket dimension problem.

Its cool that you were able to take some liberties with the Donnager, though. We really only saw the Donnager for what, 2 or 3 episodes before it was blown into stardust by the corpo deepstate.

@Terrance Hood Thank you so much! I'm glad you've discovered The Expanse, and that you're enjoying my Donnager! It's truly been a years-long passion project.

Honestly, I have no idea whose Tachi that is, and I don't think I have the blueprint anymore. A few years ago I just subscribed to a handful of them and stuck one in there that was most accurate to the show and most to scale.

The trick with building a show-accurate Tachi is that it's vastly larger on the inside than it should be, given its external dimension. Donnager, on the other hand, is gargantuan, and there's far less reference material from the show for what the inside looks like (I had to come up with the reactor room and torpedo myself).

Thank you for making this a world. I dunno why the authors of mod-heavy ships don't do that more often.

I recently started watching The Expanse on Amazon, as the first 3 seasons were leaving so I decided to watch it while I could. I had already known that there was a decently sized Space Engineers community based on it...

however I didn't expect someone to RECREATE THE MCRN DONNAGER IN 1:1 SCALE!

This ship is insane!

WHY AM I ONLY NOW FINDING THIS?!

Well done man!

While I'm on the subject, are you gonna release the Tachi in the hangar photo or is that already available somewhere?
