bro whys the ship 20 thousand blocks?

i did a fighter test and your fighter was tested, i had difficulty turning left to right but in the end it only was a annoyance,it did a decent job on the strafing run, tore apart the back engines in seconds, opened the main command deck with concentrated shooting to the windows but did little to no damage on the ram test, i also found it difficult to aim with the guns lower on the ship but did not prove to be a problem in the long run. overall it is a 7.5/10 it was a good design but i found it hard to use, keep in mind this is from going in blind on said ship, if i did read the description it would probably be a 10/10 keep up the good work

good fighter, good attacker

Still answering comments like an absolute chad

ah, neat. Really love the overall look of the designs, it'd be neat if you made some stuff using the new block, especially with the combat update.

@Captain Redbeard, as for the names. I am from New Zealand so I thought Te Reo (Maori) names would be fitting.

@Captain Redbeard, In my head cannon, in the future there is a class of people who are trillionares from their exploitation of space's resources. As they traverse the vastness of space, they certainly wont be doing so in the confines of an uncomfortable military vessel. But they also wouldn't want to be defenseless to pirates or even rival capitalists in a completely defenseless pleasure yacht. So these ships merge both worlds with military grade offensive and defensive tech, coupled with luxurious comfort. Most of the these ships would be the equivalent of crew vessels and tenders, meant to keep the main VIP safe. I never ended up making what was meant to be the VIP ship but if you're curious you can see a concept model I made for it here: https://skfb.ly/6Voso

Hi, I was wondering if you could give any background (if there is any) about Rangatiratanga Industries. Is there any lore, or do you just build badass ships with badass names?

any plans on making updated versions of these for the lols? :)

ROFL

I gotta say it really caught me by surprise. But it's good to know that I was the first. Love your creations, keep it up.

@Caster of a Distant Realm HAHAHAHA five friggin years since I posted this and only now someone finds it.

I uhm . . . I found the d**kbutt LCD Panel . . . nice?

I like the style, it reminds me of Mass Effect and bit of the prometheans from Halo.

@Avaslash Here it is! I hope you like it! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2105189018

@Avaslash I will. Thank you for your permission! I will message you as soon as I can get it up! So you can give your opinion on it perhaps?

@Lucanmoonshadow please feel free :) just please give credit

Hello, Avaslash! I happened to stumbled upon your profile, and I found this fighter. It is truly a splendid creation and design! In fact, I loved it so much that I gave it a few of my own touches and made it into a fully-combat ready vessel with a few mods. I was hoping to share it with the community, but I came to you to ask for your permission to re-upload. Would that be alright with you? Full credit for the ship would go to your original design. If not, I completely understand! Just wanted to ask. Again, incredible ship! Glad I found it on the workshop. It's been a lifesaver multiple times. Keep up the great work! :D

I am somehow able to dogfight with this huge block of steel and guns

I would say a second cockpit with control of the side and top turrets could be pretty cool

Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I really enjoy your designs! They look spectacular and are tough as nails.

@TheLastEngineer there is a hydrogen version of this ship however its not very good outside of creative because the fuel runs out pretty quickly.

large ship version would be awesome and myby add some hydrogen thruster for better move and for the large ship a gravity drive/booster

g

how to make sure that the rocket launchers are fired as well as in this ship?

Best fighter ever.

w

awesome ships

I cut in a pair of small enrgy shields into the wing struts - that took care of the drive burn through for me :)

@Leraje this wasnt a problem before. Keen keeps updating the game and changing the base values of things like "thruster damage" So while in the past there werent any problems keens changes mean that a LOT of creations are now broken. :/

Found a slight problem with the 2 of the large ion thrusters ( rear-most port and starboard) - their exaust is hitting a few of the armor blocks destroying them in the process. Other than that, quite an enjoyable ship :)

@Jeannette71 i agree with you, most definatly, the speed needs to be raised to around 200+ speed, cause ive used mods to go faster then tha6t, it doesnt make much of a diference (other then the fact that you don't load the ground textures fast enough to see if you'll hit a mountain or something, but just sometimes) so they really should make it between 200-300 m/s

Too big and heavy.. not maneuverable at all.... looks nice though.

maybe if you ask the developer of SE [Space Engineers] he could add higher speed limits and propellers to make it eisier to fly

@GHKtruc it can reach space. Ive tested it several times. However you need to pilot it correctly. Because space engineers has a maximum speed any horizontal speed will reduce the maximum verticle speed. So if you are moving 20mps forward when you start to go up the highest speed you can rise is at 80mps. The way to reach space is to ensure you ONLY have verticle speed. Do a standard helicopter take off. Rise with the plane parrallel to the horizon. When you reach about 4500m you will notice that speed will begin to drop from 100mps to like 90mps. This means you need the help of the ion engines. Rotate the tip of the ship up so its just abour 45 degrees and continue to trust up. This way the ion engines and the atmospheric engines work together. Continue this but as you fly higher get slightly more verticle until by the time youre in space the ship is pointed completely away from the planet and youre only using the rear ion trusters (at around 60% gravity).

edit: you don't nessasaraly need hydrogen thrusters to escape atmosphere, you just need to have the correct weight to thrust ratiable and you can just "glide" up to the area where your ion thrusters can get enough power to keep you going up out of the gravitational pull

well, that could be because of no hydrogen thrusters, and too much weight:thrust ratiable.

Hi, quick question. I got that thing down on a planet. I can't seem to get it back in space, I did managed to get the ship up to 6400+ meters, but after that it fell like a rock...
Does anyone have any tip for me ?

god sake if i compare my desing, my ship look like a box ;-; i need teaching

@Avaslash how do you get images in your workshop descriptions ?

People, can you explain how they put their own image on the LCD? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a real beauty ... gj

GJ !!!!!!

Where do you get your inspiration to build from? What song, movie, book, hell what picture on the internet, I NEED TO KNOW XD i suck at building anything that isnt super future, or light industrial, you build with a sorta of elegant supe futuristic style, definitely a 'human' style yet i can never seem to get a good design in like yours (Probably cuz im lazy af)

looks wicked! I like you style and colour scheme!

@tinkle outside the binkle If you want a higher performance but creative only version try this

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=854025505

But keep in mind, the ship is atmospheric and space so as a result half of its thrusters will be ineffective at any given time. These sorts of ships aren't the highest performers in general. A purely atmospheric or purely ion variant would do better.

very beautiful ship but very ineffective.

@Data1chi they are pretty tough to hit and are reenforced with heavy armor.

It's a beatifuly built fighter and I love the shape from a more artistic point of view but those te connection to the wings looks a little flimsy. perhaps you could add another connecting bar from the under part of the fighter.

But that's only my opinion. Keep up the good work :)

Nice
