Space Engineers - Ion Missile Battleship 

“Ideal engagement range of 3 kilometres” Arron criticizes the projectile for not ejecting the decoy properly from 1.7 kilometres

14:56 That torpedo hit was beautiful. Some blast doors would've helped prevent that second explosion if they could've fit into the torpedo bay.

All Kinetic missiles should feature 1 small cargo box filled with 20k stone (trust me), then even if the torpedo is dropped by point defense, the 20k of stone once ejected does....heh...amusing amounts of damage.

I love how with the flickering blue light from the ion thrusters along with the overall shape of the craft it looks like a rail-gun

Love the showcase, but watching the ship your showing off destroy itself is a strange kind of satisfaction. Always my favorite part.

Star Trek style at the end. Our front got hit? Better blow up the bridge.

One of the best build seen on Space Engineers, Torpedo mechanism is working amazing and destroying ships amazingly.

I love designs with the spacing in the armor, I have always been annoyed by how the deformation of an armor block can cause the ones around it to deform a bit as well, which is almost like getting a damage bonus especially from missile blasts. The spacing prevents the deformation from being transmitted to inner layers and reduces the amount of armor you need, letting you shed some weight while getting about the same amount of protection. Functional and aesthetic, someone put a ton of time into it.

I always love it when people make torpedo ships like this , great build!

Two videos in one day? Slow down Arron! This crazy train is going too fast!

Fantastic Original design . Effective torp and great use of internal thrusters to maintain the looks .

Amazing! I've wanted to build something so similair after seeing the ragnarock gravity missle! Still planning to build it tho! My plan was a longer ships to keep the profiles a lot lower. This one reminds me a lot of the C&C red alert 3 USA amvibious vehicle! Especially with that colorsceme!

beautiful ship, great work

A few manoeuvring thrusters and a remote control on those torpedoes would work a treat

the whole ship is very cool, also quite a good armament. the separate design of torpedo can help it deal more damage in my experience. the front part as AP and the part behind as HE. The front AP part to punch a hole on the amour so the HE part can explode inside the ship. IF there is no separate design, the warhead will either triggered on the surface the amour, or damaged and doesn't work even it penetrate.

Ferdi going mad in my Ear Right screaming "3 Kilometers, can't you fucking read?"

Super cool ship!

This is the best looking ship I have ever seen

Form and function. Beautiful

I love this Battleship

Really reminds me of the imperial broadside class cruiser from star wars, which is quite badass looking,

Looks like a great ship

Awesome ship! Also, what kind of computer do you have? My computer isn't enough

is reviewing a ship and describing something on a ship: reminds me of something you'd see on a ship good job sherlock

Ooh! Great idea! How about you show us something you have made or make something just for the purpose of a video. I miss the old content.

Missile is great. Its will penetrate heavy armour modules. Like, heavy armour, gyros and heavy armour. With welders and buildandrepair. Its is stopped by the second armoured hull. The fact it is embedded in the primary hull makes this a pain. The buildand repair has to grind it down before the projection is welded. Thus weakening the armour for a long time. You dont want the section on the front to detach. Shields make this unable to penetrate heavy armour modules but good effect on target.

That’s so bad ass

It's clearly a Megathron. A close approximation.

Lol I think that second explosion was that ships own missiles warhead blowing up if it had one.

I would love to see Fractured Space type ships in the. that would be awesome.

How do you set it to an enemy ship and to defend itself

This ship is awesome but does anyone know how much pcu it needs to build?

Mate your videos make me really want to play the game, but I don't even know if there are any decent servers in my country and I would be so far behind everyone already playing in game knowledge XD

First one to comment! Love your vids you need to have build offs again and please make them battle! Are you going to watch the live stream for space engineer's xbox in 3 days? Please play xbox SE i want to see you in game sometime!

It looks kind of like something from Homeworld. Can u do some kind of battle with other people, like Jack, with other ships like this (U know, from carriers to destroyers) and have two teams duke it out ? I'd love to see that.

Can you use those projectors and welders to make a shipyard?

cool warship but i think it's more of a misile destroyer or frigate. if it's got plenty of cargo and such maybe cruiser, as it could cruise alone for a good while. But idk I don't see much space for that. not to mention a ships shuttle or something.

Is that secondary explosion what happens when the missile detonates in the tube?

Conn, Torpedo Room, Tube 1 ready.

Beautiful ship aesthetically, love the spaced armor which is a tres awesome choice from a functionality perspective. My only winges against it is the spaced design down the central line of the ship which opens up into a torpedo bay. Whilst I firmly respect the kinetic torpedo bay on a battleship, the choice of placement atop the split protection for thrust has made a massive weak spot down the central face forward design. The fact all the fixed armaments are front-faced instead of broadside designed means the ships gonna be exposing its weak spot to direct fire in combat... I sense the ship might get 'sploded long before anyone will ever bother trying to cripple it's thrust. That said the protection to the thrusters is spot on and well done (even though I'd never use hydro power in a frontline combattant. Grav drive or go home if you need zippy acceleration). But I worry not enough thought to survivability for the ships internal systems was done. Thrust tucked under the hull will certainly make for survivability when it comes to thrust, in all its clear the designer has actually seen pvp combat. But didn't really account for the split hull design creating a terminal weakness when coupled with the kinetic weapon bay. Hidden control systems not in an obvious ships bridge is a major plus though, kudos to the designer for that. This ship would do better with broadside fixed missile armaments...because a kinetic torpedo is only good when you got the element of surprise on your side, and you will want to protect that weak spot by turning your spaced armor into the line of fire in actual combat, making this a perfect design for putting up broadside fixed gun emplacements. In all though, there's some really good design choices from a pvp perspective, but its achilles heel is worrisome in pitched battle. At least with the tucked away jump drives and the well protected thrust it should be able to make short-jump repairs in combat (if one installs a welding repair system into it) and thus maintain its survivability...or, at the very least it can get away when the limitations of torpedo's as a main armament rears its head. I'd use this as a hit and run heavy hitter on large slow moving or stationary targets. This will not make for a good slug-out vessel, even if it may take a few hits fairly well as long as you don't face your enemy head on. Use it for hit and run tactics, it will do VERY well from that angle of play. Without a decoy defense system, and the weak spot in its armor being down the planes of first contact in combat, don't stay in pitched battle for long. One well placed shot down the central plane of this vessel breaching torpedo bay and possibly hitting its hydro tanks is a dead ship in the making.

Wonder what it would look like with the new updates

Imagine if the top of the ship could detach and act like it's own little transport

Remains of the capitol ship from the jedi star fighter game

This guy sounds like the scott manely of space engineers.

Nah mate. I don’t need any fancy missile cruisers. All I need is a drone attack force and a commanding cruiser.

I never saw you fire the rocket launchers

You know, when DLC content is used, it's not "vanilla" anymore.

can you put these showcases through some sort of dogfight or like star fight with someone really would want to see if these showcases would be practical and it would also be really cool to see

MORE DAKKA

Use it for some orbital bombardment

На него уже Лур Лемур делал обзор

these videos reminds me that im better creating the Imperium of Man in Stellaris than awesome ships in Space Engineers (I SUCK)

Look like a megathron of eve online

i want to play this great game but the learning curve is so damn hard.

Tell jack fore this battle ship for colony loste

i watch tons of these but i have a mac and cant play :(

Ulrich is a really cool name for a ship but I liked "Earl Rich" more ngl...

Completely vannila need DLC to build.

Can u add to mod io

If you want your ship to survive an engagement then covering every inch of it in turrets is the way to go. If the modern military had auto targeting tech like that you can bet they'd cover their vehicles in turrets. Function over form is what wins the day in the end. I mean is it a battleship if it wasn't really made for battle?

All the best looking ahips are all small grid, so their kind of useless

Pootis

First to dislike the video for giggles

Wondering if games will ever have a reason not to be battle based. I don't really even know what that would be. I feel narrow minded now.
