Space Engineers - DRF Complete Fleet 

The ships are so aesthetic. I love the fact they were based on The Expanse.

The command cruiser is beautifull. You can really feel its presence when you're around and you know that one of these wouldn't be coming for a simple bounty hunting mission rather be there to orchestrate an invasion.

15:49 spirit of fire, halo wars

Spirit of Fire, Husker. Not Pillar of Autumn

DRF has done a fine job capturing Husker, Val, and Conrod(recaptured it seems) and putting them to work!

It’s nice to see how players develop better designs with time. A very nostalgic feel no?

I wish i could design ships like this, i need to take some notes!

The first two literally looked like Expanse shis from afar. Love it!

That spirit of fire styled ship is by far my favourite with like the droppods, utility bits, brilliant!

Being an Expanse nerd, I'm bothered seeing the Scirocco, a Cruiser, being called a Carrier.... But they're all such good recreations (the Expanse inspired ships). Corvette, Morrigan, Scirocco... I hope to see a Donnager or a Truman.... Bring on the Foehammers!

these ships are giving me huge MCRN vibes. I love em.

Val's ships strike me as more Battlestar Galactica (especially The Odysseus) than the Expanse designs of Husker. I will miss Pabble's insane ships though.

I like it that the DRF fleet has evolved into a very very expanse-esque style.

14:40 To me that looks similar to the rebel version of the Corvus from Battlefront 2. It's absolutely beautiful and looks badass (which is as important as functionality) on top of the DRF campaign being executed perfectly. AMAZING work and I wish I could build such incredible designs

I just LOVE the overall designs of these ships, you're making me want to switch side bro!! XP

These ships are amazing I cannot wait for the next DRF series these are in!!!!

This was awesome! Love the cutouts and stuff, been working on my own internal thrusters on ships recently too (though i am having three because it is massive)

That zepherus stealth ship would reflect so many radar waves, it needs to be more smooth to be more realistically “silent”

Hype. The DRF designs (and some of Splitsie's designs) have heavily influenced how I make my own ships, and these new ships are an excellent addition to an already fantastic lineup

You seem to be getting back some of your old "I'm in charge of a giant fleet of extremely competent and efficient troops" air about you from the colony wars series.

For something to have "battle" in it's name it you should consider: The Battle Effectiveness Award recognizes sustained fast and winning performance in an operational environment within a command.[1] To qualify for Battle "E" consideration, a ship must win a minimum of four of the six Command Excellence awards (Maritime Warfare (Black "E"), Engineering/Survivability (Red "E"), Command and Control (Green "E"), Logistics Management (Blue "E"), CNSF Ship Safety (Yellow "E"), Efficiency (Purple "E")),[2] and be nominated by their immediate superior in command. Eligibility for the award demands day-to-day demonstrated excellence in addition to superior achievement during the certifications and qualifications conducted throughout the year. A ship’s performance during training exercises, weapons inspections, and tactical readiness examinations are among the 16 different areas that are considered in the competition.

When he said it was inspired by the pillar of autumn I wanted to tell no it is the spirit of fire

Now i really want to build something like the SOF for my drone fleet xd well 'drone fleet' may the Drone Empire and DRF live forever!

I am in love with that command ship

Wow this game has come so far from the original early release. Outstanding.

Very nicee ships !! The first one looks a lot like the rocinante from the expanse im getting the game in april for xbox , really excited 👏🏽

i love this build style

The DRF shall rise again!

Love the front of the shredder drone two middle fingers to the sky

first ship kinda reminds me of the roccinante in the expanse!

I can't wait to see more of these ships in action, especially against INIC.

HOW ABOUT A MOBILE PERIMETER-DEFENSE-PLATFORM

loved the stealth ship

Aaron, as for the shock absorbing landing gear, I have an idea you may want to toy with, use a combination of wheels and landing gears to absorb impact and lock onto a ships hull and grind your way inside.

very nice fleet / i especially love the assault carrier CIC

Love how the DRF took up the aesthetics of the MCRN

Beautiful

I understand the new colour scheme is much more tactical but the classical purple is just really cool in my opinion

Last ship reminds me of the spirit of fire

Very nice

“Wow that’s a cool drop pod how many times have you actually used it?” *IRRELIVANT*

The halo looking one is spirit of fire

15:40 its the Spirit of fire a colony ship converted to a UNSC military ship when the covenant started to destroy alot of the human fleet and the Pillar of Autumn is a Hylcion Class Carrier ship " I must have butchered that word lol" just wanted to let ya know love the ships dude they are really awesome! :D

That stealth ship somehow attracts me despite my love for explosions. Maybe it's the interior

DRF, RWI, and INIC fighting against the Green Drones. That would be EPIC for a Season Finale. But that’s thinking too far ahead. Before all that, maybe we could get small peeks at the full operational power of the separate navies/armies? That’s be pretty cool. Please make that new series soon! Can’t wait!

The Excalibur is still one of my favorites but the spirit of fire one is certainly a nice looking one as well.

DRF’s new palette reminds one of the CIS Also, are you taking the DRF to go toe-to-toe with the GDA (Green Drones)?

Is that a Phoenix class colony ship I see there, noice

14:40 Could use those ships as a certain unit within the DRF. Quick Response Fleet for example as they definitely look quick lol

lol flashing up shucks carrier ship on the projector table

Command cruiser awesome looking

The DRF continue to grow ;p

Will they ever be out on the workshop?

Spirit of fire looking one is my favourite

The ships aren't in a "Candy Pink" color, it's intolerable! Just Kidding, i like this new color for the DRF theme :) 10:00 I hope they will return, Harder, Better, Stronger than before, and kick out of this universe the Green Drones Armada, and the RWI ! All Hail DRF !

Hey guys! What skybox are you using!?? I love it. Also that command ship 😍😍😍😍

Hey LSG love your content keep it up, would you be able to add this to the Xbox version when it’s up and running??

Are there any workshop links for these? They’re phenomenal

Can you pls post those fleets to the workshop Arron? The ships are cool and I bet me as well as a ton of other people would like to explore them ourselves

ITS CALLED THE SPIRIT OF FIRE

The heavy frigate in minute 15 looks like it is based of the corvus from star wars battlefront 2

Any chance we might see these on the workshop? I want to try out the command cruiser...

would love to get my hands on the blueprints

The gigantic ship looks like the spirit of Fire

The Expanse!!!

Your ship are so gorgeous.

Could you do both an RWI fleet tour and possibly a CNL fleet tour with venom and jack or craz

On that second ship model that was showcased... how did they get that lovely glow effect? spotlights beaming though solid blocks? im confused

The Zepherus engine block reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica

I have a question can you crew one vessel with like a captain gunners engines like make the systems separate terminals

Are these available on the workshop, I'd love to have a go with them.

When are they being uploaded to the workshop?

Got your ship class out of order it goes corvette, frigate, destroyer, cruiser, then capital ships like battleships, carriers and then you have dreadnoughts

For the DRF

15:45 the ship you mean is the Spirit of fire

Cerberus has some competition

That dude a snake? SSSSSS

@LastStandGamers is there a workshop collection for these?

So my opinion about the classes: 1) I would consider it as Reconnaissance Corvette. It probably would have problem even with fighters, but it generally should avoid confrontation. It is common mistake, but Gunship is common name for Attack/Assault Craft. Larger units are called a Gunboat. 2) I disagree with some design choices, but let's call it diplomatically a Torpedo Destroyer. It is slightly too big for a Gunboat and I presume it has a Jump-drive (boats usually don't have those). 3) Assault Frigate. More flexible design then usual. It is common misconception but term Assault is used for the first line of ground forces. Assault units combine firepower and ground force deployment capabilities. 4) Stealth/Explorer Frigate. Nothing to add (I personally consider planetary capable ships as Assault, but in this specific case idea of Stealth ship fit it better). Good looking ship overall. 5) I'm not sure? Escort Destroyer? Heavy Gunboat? Depending on if it has jump-drive. 7) Heavy Assault Corvette. Undeniably. 8) Yup. A Cruiser. Specially Cruiser-Carrier. I didn't see command center, but for DRF standard it is sufficient command ship. First four ships are quite cinematic. Bit under-powered in my mind, they compensate that being quite tanky. And I really like last three ships, though they lack proper CIC. For cinematic purposes and in line of keeping consistency with Papples style, those are definitely good ships. Not as good as the originals though. Still for what DRF need they are good fallow ups. Edit: I forget to mention that size is relative, so I judge them on eye.

Will all the ships be available the Xbox workshop thing? Because I would love to mess with them on it.

Are there ships available on the steam workshop ? I would love to build some of these in my own survival world.

Nice ones. How do you deal with thruster damage with all that internal thrusters? Building a larger mining carrier and hate to leave huge open space under the armor so the thrusters don't damage any blocks... Also I don't like the designing ships with tons of thruster holes all around the hull...

The Odysseus was inspired by the Phoenix Class colony ship from Halo. The same class the Spirit Of Fire is.

Will there be blueprints available on the Steam Workshop in the future? (Along with INIC fleet?)

How do they get the blue lighting effect at the rear of their ships? I've been playing around with it, but I haven't had any luck yet. :/

Need more guns but damn nice work

I wonder if they could upload this to the workshop

The Turtle looks like something from Warhamme 40K

So…. Is there a workshop link to the fleet lol

I will see the entire clone wars for the 3rd time or just the bonus last episode 🤣 "Hardman I found your body!" NOPE! I made my mind EP 63, 67, 68 & 69 😘👌

Is there a workshop page where ee can get these per chance?

The first one is totally a Rocinante! Well except for the interior, but making horizontally stacked ship floors in SE is awkward.

I say this with love Aaron, but please for the love of God go get one of those Skillshare trials everybody peddles on here and take a class on audio balancing. Every video you're either too loud or too quiet relative to everything else. (in this case too quiet). Please figure out how to get a constant voice volume relative to everything else it will enhance the viewing experience 10 fold.

When are you going to do the series you talked about on this episode

The Halo inspired ship around the 16 minute mark, is based off the Spirit of Fire from Halo Wars

There’s “based on the expanse”, and then there’s “MCRN recreation”. This was pretty close to the second one.

will these ever be on the workshop at some time?

Anyone know where to find the blueprints for these ships if they are available that Is.

Are these ships on the workshop, would love to mess around with them with my friends

jack could use some help with the greenies eh arron. what id love to see is a three faction alliance series DRF-RWI-INIC vs the green drones
