IS THIS POSSIBLE!? - Space Engineers

Any other challenges you want to see me try in Space Engineers? Let me know!

I've done astrophysics, I'm an avid fan of space, and space games like KSP and SE. Seeing "With a jump drive, we move 4000km in a single frame... this is slower than the speed of light." really hammered home just how ludicrously fast light is.

So the sudden spinning after the alien planet is because you impacted with it or something but the game didn't destroy your ship. I have had it happen while using speed remover mods

Next challenge is obviously rovers with square wheels.

OK. So. Drilling to the core of a moon is amazing. Making a corebase is even better. The tunnel leading in branches like a plinko machine - nobody's ever managed to make it.

0:21 the speed of light is not "one of" the fastest things measured, it is the cosmic speed limit. Nothing can go faster then the speed of light. It is the fastest thing that will ever and can ever exist

I always thought it would be neat if SE did a sort of psuedo-relativistic physics where your ship gets heavier as you approach the maximum (as well as a higher cap.) Thrust-to-weight would be more important because a faster ship would always be able to catch a slower one. No more, "can I get into firing range before he hits the speed cap." Every pirate you encounter is now an ass-clenching test of, "is my ship fast enough." And then speed always raises the control problem :) I think it would bring some much needed nuance to ship design, away from just piling as many guns onto a hull as possible. You could even attempt to model air density by lowering the cap with altitude.

I believe they added a hard cap because there was a bug in which you could reach the date type limit(whatever your velocity is stored as) and essentially go from 1 million m/s(not actual number) to -1 million m/s because of overflow, instantly causing you to speed the other way

The thing which probably happened is you hit memory limit for speed in one of axises, it caused sign bit flip and reversed velocity direction

I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the game breaks when we change the vanilla speed limit? Also is that sublime I see. Good choice :P

To be pedantic, you could escape Earth's gravity at 100 m/s, but you would have to be burning continuously to do so. Escape velocity is the minimum speed a non-thrusting object needs to be moving to escape orbit purely ballistically.

try the Elite Dangerous FSD Mod for FTL travel, just make sure it has enough power and you can eventually reach those speeds

Made it to Mars in a Russian rocket chair. Basically a cockpit for comfort. H202 generator. Hydrogen thruster, hydrogen engine, tiny battery, and a gyroscope. Filled it with ice. Launched several into the ground. One into space and you can idle to Mars and live. Until impact.

Pov: going at the speed of light. Hits a rock that's 1mm big. the ship: SKIBUBMNDADA

Things actually break in the game engine when you go above a certain speed, like hard break and can lead to the game crashing. Floating point errors, and eventually double precision errors are abundant at that speed. Keep in mind havok uses floating point internally.

Setting the speed of light as the speed limit is also accurate to how nothing can go faster than it IRL (or without a jump drive in this case) Also, the hard limit would likely be a result of a display limit

At 2:59 thats the Carolina cobra at carowinds, nice

Huh, thought you'd do your acceleration via gravity drive, but I guess that wasn't fast enough.

Server idea: spaceships wars (is basically the roblox game zeppelin wars but modified to fit in space engeeners) Note:this must be played in the atmosphere of the earth so that gravity makes the game more spicy Two teams are fighting ( in the original game is pirates vs patrol) Each team gets an identical ship that spawns/welds smaller ships that have roket launchers and any full auto wepon used to attack( the smaller ships can't have more than 3 rokets or less than 1). In each team there are 2 roles: -crew( can't fly smaller ships but are equped with heavier wepons, they are the defending part of the team) -pilot(they can fly smaller ships but have smaller wepons and sabotage tools, they are the attacking part of the team) Note:everyone can pilot the big ships including the enemies There are 2 hidrogen tanks in the ships, one in the back and one in the front, this is important for later. The ships also have some defense wepons that only crew can operate. How to win: explode/destroy both enemie's hidrogen tanks or crash the enemy ship(as long as the ship is no longer functional it works to win)

Little tip. Using planet gravity you can go beyond the speed you reached.
