It hasnt got MP yet...... but its and alpha and they are adding mp in one of the next releases
Looks fun, and its available on steam as an early access, the screen shots look good from actual players on the steam forums for the game.

I don't know much about this one yet but I'm seriously liking the look of it. Depending on how it develops it could become a new building creation game for dMw.

No, the "Free Weekends" games messed up the totals at the LAN.

What mr sulky said :)
If there is enough interest, then when the server files are released we can get one running.
That looks pretty cool - I might give this a go.
Quite empty at the moment, there are weapons you can add to builds, but they are inoperable on the current build.
Turning off the giro's in a ship and setting it spinning is fun, as is then getting in another ship and ramming it, the first ship went spinning off into space to be lost forever.
Gyros will make the ship stabilise.
The things actually crumple, so you can have a fender bender and not be able to get out of the hatch because the metal has buckled in. Bit's of metal and components also fly off and spin around the area.
Guns and tools don't work at the moment, so it's just building and piloting.
Starting the number 2 area builds an asteroid mounted base and a couple of large ships, theres also a framework of a second ship just outside, you can go and flick that and it just spins off into space.
Also some quite fast moving fighters.
So quite restricted as the moment, but could be quite complex once guns and turrets come online.
And shutting down the engines on a large ship will stop the gravity and gyros from working.
Try getting out of a large ship whilst it's spinning.
If you smash up a ship and lose the control panel, just stick another on the ship somewhere and you can fly it again.
It would be nice if there was some sort of end game to work towards - the alpha sounds a bit empty & aimless right now.
to be honest I looked at the trailer and was bored.. defo not for me.
Could become Minecraft in Space. I'm a bit of a fan of Space Sims so while Minecraft is a sublime game this might develop into something equally as fun and relaxing. There's still a long way to go though and as mentioned not much content apart from sandbox building, although it is still an Alpha.
Some of the block placement seems a bit broken as well. I'm building a ship and for no apparent reason I can't add a final stair or wall block? The only way to complete is to destroy the surrounding blocks and rebuild from a different direction. Obviously some work still to be done.
got and the vid looked interesting but would not smashing something up you just built going to be a annoying or have i missed the trick.

There are guns, currently inoperable in Alpha.
You can fly your creation.
The crashing is fun, you can actually buckle the thing so you can't get out.
Still needs a lot of optimising, I downloaded the Enterprise model from Steam Workshop and it destroyed the frame rate when you try and fly it. Accidentally reversed into another smaller starship model and broke off one of it's nacelles, which went flying off into space.
Had fun smashing the enterprise into an asteroid to crumple a huge section of the saucer.
Bits break off and float away if not completely destroyed.
Latest update has added magnetic feet for smaller craft, so you can dock into larger vessels now without smashing then to bits when you move the one you flew into.
mmm quite a fun game. I get the feeling there is a lot more to it than at first meets the eye... all I basically did was build small ships and then lose them when I couldnt work out how to slow them down / stop them.
You have to make sure you have engines going in all directions so you can slow down and go in different directions, if that makes sense.
Definately excited by this, can't really do much at the moment but once survival mode is ready it should be a good game. It's very pretty too :)
It's now starting to activate extra features.
- Warhead blocks enabled (not played with these yet)
- Small craft weapons and hand held weapons now enabled
- Small craft skids now have magnetic clamps to fasten to larger craft or objects.
- Mining drill now active, and asteroids are now built of different materials.
- Refinery now active (as of today)
I recommend downloading "The Shipyard" from the Steam Workshop to have a play with various size craft and see the destruction caused by small rockets.
Sounds good. I think this one will really take off as soon as we can host a persistent world and run it like Minecraft.
Just testing it out, hope mp will be fun
my refinery doesnt seem to work :( although mined some gold and then was chasing the particles all across space trying to collect them .....
Gortex and myself had a stint at this in MP tonight and had quite a laugh.
Has anyone else played MP?, we started it in 'non survival mode' so had everything within the game, we flew about a bit got lost and then decided to start building our own ships on the platform when we finally found it again.
We learnt quite a bit in a short space of time and wondered if anyone else would be interested in trying it out?
We think that if we started a survival game it would be a lot like Minecraft in that you would need to gather resources in order to construct different things within the game.
Now it's fully released it might be interesting if interested peeps joined together to explore it more, any takers ?
I have it, and would love to have a go on it at some point with you guys :)
Yep was good fun and sparko learnt a very important lesson on ship building should you want to turn the ship around and fly back to space port.
Could try a trial server on someones machine at the lan and see how it goes. Plus I forgot to say the ships can now be fitted with guns, although not sure how to make it work yet.

Sounds like a good idea gortex!
I have this game too so would be up for a game.

Yup, started up the survival mode and had a tootle around the original map.
The blue ship away from the platform has no power and you have to grab uranium rods and cut your way into the reactor room to power it up.
Also your suit thruster power will run out if you do not get back into the pilot seat.
Mining ore is a little bit of a pain as where there is no gravity it goes flying off.
I have it as well :)

Doesn't look like dedicated servers are available yet but should be in the near future.
Yeah the mining is a bit of a pain, me and Gotex had to build a platform and a gravity unit so that it fell to the floor, even then in can be tricky :(
Quote from: Sparko;382888Doesn't look like dedicated servers are available yet but should be in the near future.
Keep us posted when they do, I know we have a few people playing this at the moment.
QuoteDoesn't look like dedicated servers are available yet but should be in the near future.
Bit of a shame but we could always run a server off someones machine at the lan for a bit of a chuckle and experiment. Not tried survival yet as using the jet pack was hard enough to get the hang of :woot2:
Todays update now has buggies in space :woot2: check it out! this could be rather fun :norty:

Any news on dedicated server?
Sent from my Nexus 4
no not yet, I keep checking their forums and here (http://spaceengineershosting.com/dedicated-server/) but cant even find an ETA so cant see it being too soon
The first run a the dedi server is out.

Hmm judging by the comments it's not very stable, worth waiting or seeing if we can get a server up?
The question is will updates wipe our builds and how willing are people gamble?

I'd rather wait and start building when we know we're not going to loose everything with a server update.
Quote from: smilodon;384837I'd rather wait and start building when we know we're not going to loose everything with a server update.
Agreed :)
I was going to install it just to see what it offers so far, but it seems they're only making a windows based server available :(
Once it is stable we could put one up, no problem. Sounds like there is currently quite a bit of instability, so I'd rather not ruffle BA5's feathers until it comes with a little less overhead! :P
Dug this thread out to ask if there is any interest in a dMw server for this maybe please? I'm not quite sure what is involved since I've not spent a lot of time with Space Engineers but it's just come out of Early Access and offers huge overhauls and new gameplay, and planets, so my understanding is its similar to Empyrion now?
It'd be nice to hear from anyone who's played the full release!

I played it for a while, both when it was in early development and since it's final beta/official launch. It used to be a typical early access game i.e. buggy and light on features. Now it's more polished and there's a not terrible little single player campaign. SE is a decent enough world builder if that's your thing. It's Minecraft in space with better graphics. If you like exploring and building stuff without any actual story line then it might be worth a punt. It reminds me of recent incarnations of No Mans Sky with more space and less planets.
We had an epic game of this at a lan I seem to remember with people building space ships in amusing designs.
Would be good to see what the changes are and what it is like now.

All I remeber was going head to head and as the other person got close was to pick up the cockpit. Meaning the other player was stuck in a ship at full thrust with no way to stop or get off till they built another one.
I'd jump on and have a play if we spun up a server, sure. Tried it before but only solo.
Likewise
Ditto, would like to join in and see how it is since haven't played it since early beta
Apologies for the delay in responding to these requests but I hope to have a server up soon for us to take another look at this game.
Awesome I look forward to giving this ago, no rush though! Just let us know when the world has been a spawned so we can destroy it
Thank you Oldie! (And Server Admin team!) :D
I'll be jumping on with you guys and probably crashing into the moon
Oh nice Frenzy! I don't think I've gamed with you since you left Ark so many years ago, welcome back!
I'll defo want to join in !
Server's up. Search for 'Dead' :thumb:
And just to let you all know, I've just realised you could of all survived the night if you'd made solar panels for your starting pods instead of being lured into the stone slave mines!
Hi all, Im just wondering about the server.. i tried joining it this morning and couldn't find it on the server list. Is the server down atm?

Restarted (it didn't need updating) and suddenly it's visible again!
