So fun fact to those wondering: Onager works as it was intended again. It doesnt break.

Problem is that rocks still dont do damage anymore...

I miss the days of olde.

One of the main reasons I stopped with SE was the lack of new parts. I recently tried all the new expansions, and while it's cool to have some more decorative stuff, they are still missing a tonne of stuff for big builds. Weapons stands out, as all you can really do is spam more and more of the same two. Thrusters were also the biggest problem as while ships grow in 3 dimensions, thrusters can only expand in 2 (hence you need deeper ones as builds get larger). And then there's the thousands of gyros needed for a battleship!

Man this blows. I dont know why Keen is so KEEN on making custom weapons not a viable thing. I thought the game was Space ENGINEERS not Space "Slap on as many of these TWO different weapons that you never interact with"

Unfortunately the Onager is very dead at this point, even I don't have a working copy :(

Still, it was a cool little project!

Impressive!
Keen probably broke it on purpose due to it beeing banned as a weapon of indiscriminate mass destruction in the 30041 NEW Geneva Convention ;)

Can you maybe update this for the newest version of the game?

(Thanks for pointing it out though; I'll put a warning up.)

It frequently varies from patch to patch in the 14 months since release. It's been broken for weeks at a time on some occasions and sprung back to life on others. Pistons and Rotors are always a dangerous business I guess!

currently isnt working, rings break and fly off.

Beautiful

Thank you, otherwise epic TVSI. great job

Ah, thanks for the report, been a few weeks since I fired this world up! Will look into it now :)

Insert a blueprint here. the world does not open after update.Thank you!

That looks really awesome. Great job!

What is the skybox you're using?

What a wonderful work! Elegant and functional! So much to learn from it about gravity mechanics and manipulation.

Great Siege machine mate. amazing build, well thought out, very well designed! working seige machine. ill be keeping this in my war archives

thnx lots Tristavius, helped lots xD

@Soulthule: Not at the moment, but due to the number of requests I've received I think this is exactly what I'm going to be doing soon! Keep an eye on the Tutorials page.

@Braces1234567890: I left it as a station as it's a lot more stable that way, especially with opening/closing the doors, but it can function as a large ship if you're careful with it. Stations can be converted to a large ship easily enough - make sure you own at least one part of the ship and you'll find an option in the menu to do so.

@Everyone Else: Thanks for the continued support and kind words; quite suprised how far this one has gone actually! ~40 Rates to go for a 5th star which would be epic :D

Or is ther a way to go around that??

it doesnt move:( i think it is because its made out of station parts, if possible plz fix or bring out another one. Thanks!! Its awesome other wise!!

By the time I would have figured out what it was I would already be dead.
Stealth Option: Only fire during a meteor storm!

I love how much thought you put into the diffrent kinds of shots

this is sick, i love it.

This is a beautiful build! Great job manipulating the gravity fields!

This is fantastic, I'm just learning the basics and haven't even tinkered with gravity fields. Incredible build!! Trist, do you have any online guides for gravity builds and uses?

nice chart

oh baby lookit that opening door system

@Ms Thraxan: The Skybox is Purple Gamma Clouds, originally by Spaceman and re-uploaded and maintained for me by AedanXaelan - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=305301094&searchtext=gamma

@AI (bot): A Romanian friend of mine once mis-translated a phrase for very good: 'Milk Cat'

@ Everyones else: Thanks for the kind feedback - it really helps encourage us when people take the time to post of hit the Rate button and I doubt many of us could keep going without the great community supporting us!

@High Ground: Unfortunately Gravity Shielding is a flawless system currently... the maximum speed anything can achieve is only just over 100m/s so no matter how hard I fire the rocks, they have a low limited. In reverse of this, even a couple of G's can decelerate those rocks in a short space of time and there is no way to 'overload' a shield - doesn't matter how many rocks enter the field, it remains the same.

@Spirit of Death: Very, very easy! Just add 5 Timer Blocks and work out how long it takes each ring to fully delopy... Have Timer 1 open the first ring and start the countdown to ring 2 and so on for each with the 5th as an optional extra to enable firing sequences.

@R3D4 & Rynoth: Watch this space - I'm hopefully going to upload a plug-and-play assembly blueprint to allow you to add just the barrel and chamber onto a ship over the next couple of days.

how hard would it be to make it so each ring kinda rams out starting with the lowest one then the 2 and on like they ram in to place and lock?

High ground ; won't past the gravity shields, i'm afraid. Still an awesome build.

This seriously has to be the coolest gavity based weapon build this far. I wonder how it would stand up against a ship that use gravity shields?

If you'd like to try it out against a ship with Gravity Shields, I think Rin by Ravric has them. If I recall the ship uses 6 Spherical Gravity Generator to deflect incoming gravity based weapons.

If It can get past that, you have the ultimate weapon system.

amazing, your my new favourite SE

WOW

good job man

Really amazing,i msut use it in a huge battelship as artillery weapons,for destroy ship and outpost

simply amazing, your creativity and ingenuity is commendable...so cool, great job!!

Yes ammo I myself dig the same merchant ships

I have everything in the ship encased selective feeding ammunition speed maneuver firepower multiple redundancy

there is no armor protection depends on the transport of supplies

Good god, this is fucking awesome!

GERMAN SCIENCE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!

Totally Awesome, Great design and totally functional.

This thing is Epic. Wow!

Hey what skybox was used in this?

Wow this is the most epic thing ever

ok all i have to say to this is, how am i going to add it to my ship lol

can somebody tell me how to convert this to a ship

QUICK SOMEONE GIVE ME A WORD TO DESCRIBE JUST HOW BADASS THIS IS
