Space Engineers - Convoy Dreadnought Massive Small Block Rover 

Thank you for doing a video on my rover, it was a large project to undertake and took a few months to complete. Originally the wheels were attached to a large grid block core that ran the full length of the vehicle but it took up a lot of space until I figured out how to get large grid 3x3s onto small grid 2x2 axles. After that it opened up everything below the hanger's floor for detailing and then they added small grid doors which finally allowed me to finish the project off. There is very little space that was not actually used for something, and yes there is an interior hydrogen thruster pack located on the bottom deck behind the storage hall walls under the hanger. This was almost required because going from large axles to small axles, they did not have sufficient power to move a 1,000,000 mass vehicle since they are intended to normally move something the size of one 3x3 large grid wheel. The fuel saver will turn these thrusters off after reaching a similar speed as the speed governor which that prevents the vehicle from going too fast and wrecking itself. The AA gun on top is not directly controllable as it requires a designator turret (which was a supergrid interior turret stuck on top of the turret) and it will auto track targets as long as it has an AI turret in its terminal group. And yes all of the terminals have Windows 95 running on them, except for the one located in the office on the desk which has a robocraft reference in remembrance of the game I originally built it in. I also had a brake light script in initially but some update to how Keen handled LCDs made them have a several second delay when turning on and I could not figure out how to get around it.

I saw it and LITERALLY said: HOOOLY MOLLY. It has a great amount of detail and an amazing size to it. And those guns...mmmmh

Spotter; “Captain, sir.” Captain; “Report.” Spotter; “Incoming small rover, sir.” Captain; “That’s no rover. It’s a work-of-art.”

if this is a convoy escort vehicle, i'd love to see the size of the vehicles its built to escort.

8:20 "too bad its not an actual seat" aye i can just imagine if the devs came up with a thin little interactable piece to just place on any armour block and make that as a little seat. that would be cool

LSG: "we got like a captains quarters here" ME: *immediately recognizes medical device and bed* "Thats a Medical room, guy"

Wow. My only complaint is having all the blood go to my head in the cryo bay.

I was visibly shaken when he misread the remote control block as "Turn Left Control," at 10:29 then proceeded to search the other seats for "Left Turret Control"

Looks awesome, though it is hard to make any judgements about how the internal lighting looks when your character headlights are still on through the whole tour. I get the impression from the layout that the lighting would be somewhat dim and dismal, complementing its worn look perfectly. Nice showcase.

how can you even have so much creativity in one person. I put some blocks together and call it done, just crazy amazing.

7:48 it's literally where you are looking, where the button are: the "blue" landing gear.

What's happening with the black screen for 5 minutes after you finish?

A top tier rover design! Very cool indeed!

looks amazing! I don think the underside button for the lower lift needs to be moved though. You shouldn't be in danger when you hit the button.

i can hear an art major screaming "OCHRE" when he went yellowy orange

Them orange things aren't storage tanks, they are mufflers xD

Very nice. Auto jetpack on latter dismount is annoying.

all-terrain vehicle for flat terrain. Great job.

I’m just concerned that one missle would blow the whole rover up. As it stand small ships blocks are flimsy a best, even if they are the heavy armor variant.

The script on those turrets is really smooth.

I can imagine this thing guarding a convoy like a pack mother. It’s so cool!

Imagine having that convoy destroyer in both large and small grids, as well as having more space in the cargo area to store land and air vehicles on different decks. It would be a nice project to see but name its brother like "Convoy Battleship Carrier".

Holy shit it looks awesome!!!

1:25 "Yellowy-orange" It's just called gold.

10:19 Windows 95 then you immediately see the BSOD, Blue Screen of Death

I though this literally the expeditionary vehicle, usually convoy escort just has weapon with not really amount of living space or storage other than ammo

Kind of a Star Citizen inspired build with how the interior and everything works.

Muffler: … Him: fuel tank! Or something Muffler: wha?

It's an absolute beast! And I would add a missile turret on the top of the rover.

Just started playing this bc of your vids or I saw you vids bc I just started playing this either way I just got to space for the first time and I binge watched ur videos during all the ship building down time nice vids

I love those canons

Loading and unloading a rover in the back of that massive rover Nightrider style!

that is awesome

It's cool seeing something like this 2 years later and thinking "well with the new Warfare 2 update those turrets can be functional in vanilla"

Awesome thank you for showing that one. Also your video kept on playing after it ended so there's extra minutes on it. Just pointing that out but other than that love your videos.

Wait how did you climb the ladder through the door? Everytime i try this it pops me off the ladder below the door and I drop back to my starting position. I've had to put all the ladders so they are above the door and you just jump on then immediately jump off but i've had to start making door stops for security that move into the ladders path to make them impassable. Edit: Nevermind I see your jetpack activated at the last second. I've got automatic jetpack activation modded out on my game. Does that mean all the Ladder/ door combinations on this vehicle are useless without Jetpacks turning on and catching you at the top?

This would be a Juggernaut, a Dreadnought is a ship term.

apparently we need little block toilets, kitchens, sofas and.. can u do something to delete those metal bars on every block?, empyrion galactic creations are much more customizable and i want space engineers to be cooler

my only complaint is in a theoretical pvp game... one rocket shot to the cockpit and you're SoL unless there's another cockpit in the ship...

i think using a connector on hinges like this is genius. I've got over 3k hrs of gameplay and can't believe this idea never occurred to me.

Reminded me of M510 Mammoth from Halo

I'd say those orange tanks are exhausts

Hey Aaron you should try doing a Rover nomad/convoy server and see how it goes sort of like the anthill one but mobile. See how long and how others manage to keep bases mobile like mobile printer it'd be cool to see how the guys on the server manage it.

Oooh looks like the amphibious vehicle

that is one genius make

Wish it was on Xbox as well it is so awesome

Kinda looks like the sky forge with the front gates and bridge above it

I'd really like to know how did you connect a 3x3 large wheel on a 5x5 small axle, if you could explained that would be sweet

with all the new blocks and block textures one could argue u get more detail and less blockyness using large grid blocks one also should argue this since one would be right

Those wheels are cursed

Trooooooooooooooooooooop coooooooooooooooooooooool

The toolshed area was most impressive.

Too bad that one dude with an elite assault rifle could easily fuck it up.

...I don't even play the game and I can s e e the effort, the amount of time & the attention to detail this 'project' has.. Just wow.. Very well made dude

"Very cool, indeed", "Very nice indeed". Ahahaha

this makes me want to play the game with only land vehicles

You just made a new colour: THE YELLOWY ORANGY

how are there wheels that massive on a small grid? mod?

Use this on the sever as an event

Alright then! Only building with small grids from now on...

Beautiful vehicle but it looks like it prefers a desert planet.

Kind if reminds me of that thing that WALL-E lived in.

How’d they get large grid wheels on small grid suspension? Super gridding?

Reminds me of Energon Transport from Transformers:Fall of Cybertron

when you entered inside my mind was blown

Kinda reminds of the halo mammoth

God he sounds so similar to Scott Manley

мать твою...! 😲 вот это вездеход... 🤔 👍😎

Good day I would like to place an order for an entire reservoirs amount of crude energon for delivery by next megacycle.

Wouldn't use the P button to park advanced ships/rovers like that, if you do it will disconnect all connectors also, which could have made the rear hangar door unlock/fall down. It's just general bad practice.

I recently started working on something and might go along the lines of something of the general idea now...

Just an 💡

Personally, I think they should get rid of ships using big blocks in SE2. If they can better optimize using small grids, I'd prefer having to make ships with small blocks.

I'm a little confused that LSG and Captain Jack made at the same day around the same time about the same vehicle a video

space engineers, as u are putting beds, kitchens, can u create needs to the character? so u can use those items

Wait so big wheels on small grid?

Is it normal for large Big large grid rovers to make hard bangs as it’s traversing? 😮sounds like something is loose but nothing.😂 I don’t here it on the small grid .yet.😊

It's sad that I won't be able to load this because of my PC

whoever made this needs to work on star citizen and teach them how to utilize space lol

they have to make competitive servers in this game

how do you do the wheels?

with that much pcu he should have called the FPS 000

How do you get such large wheels on a small grid?

There was only one thing that I didn't like about this craft and that was the complete lack of windows in crew recreational areas

Only missing the m32-101 fortress Sierra a monolithic land ship 4 massive 900 foot long tank treads on the 4 front and 4 back tracks then it's got an extra 600 feet in the middle its 500 feet wide has 4 point defense mass driver thermo nuclear rail guns 2 rear launch bays to launch 8 sets of 3 hammerhead frigates and on top 6 point defense swarm fire havok homing missile launcher

What mod for the giant guns?

Unreal Tournament convoy?

It's possible to make Homeworld Baserunners in this game? Why did nobody tell me this?!

what if it flips?

8:17 don't they literally have DLC chairs and stuff like that you ACTUALLY can sit on?

It's running Windows 95 , not XP :P

Clipping doesn't do anything, but if you are clipping a subgrid... that's a whole new can of worms. The wheels also aren't perfectly spherical nor are they cylindrical, they are an elliptical spheroid (elliptical from the side, circular from straight on to the hub) If you don't believe me, get in the game and stand on one, walk around a bit.

Leave it to Laststand to completely exaggerate things. 2 turrets, an AA gun, and fuel tanks out in the open BEGGING to be shot so they can pretty much detonate the entire thing. Let's call it a DREADNOUGHT! Not something more appropriate like, "Great Ball of Fire", which it will become after taking 1 shot. And as usual he's as clueless as ever. "Where is this hangar lock?" The buttons are literally attached to it. Sees a button that says "Left Turret Control" and he goes "Alright that says Turn Left Control." 30 seconds later "Now, how do you control the turrets?"

Now I just imagine I made it and I saved months of time!! :-P

anyone else thought this was the mammoth from halo 4

So many that say first and yet only one of them were first

it'd really be nice if you mentioned the name of the creator in your videos

1:20 I think the colour you are looking for is diarrhea or baby poo haha

Doing that thing on vanilla servers is impossible (20 thousand PCU)

Can you please do stormworks again?
