Space Engineers - Super Heavy Drone Carrier 

To be honest this is the most aesthetically pleasing ship I've ever seen in SE. It's also super functional, amazing!

Honestly the coolest thing I’ve seen in SE. I have literally no idea how someone would even begin to start designing something like this. I always find I start with densely packing the essentials in the middle with some basic walkways and then piping outwards for guns and hydro. The fact he’s meticulously planned all of this out is mind boggling. I honestly don’t want to think about how many time he deleted and redesigned entire chunks of the ship to fit with it and then scrapped it all again because it didn’t quite fit. Do you ever pick the brains of the creators about their creative process? Only downside I could say is I can’t actually think of a situation where you’d want to build it! Lots of crew required which is a lagfest and drones can be taken down pretty quickly and the ship would go down pretty hard soon after.

I would love to see a multiplayer carrier battle, where two teams are allowed one big ship carrier and all their other craft have to be small ship drones.

a drone carrier seems like the only defence capable of defeating the legendary *hydrogen man*

just wanna say, i appreciate the accurate wingtip lighting for the drones- green right, left red, white tail. as a pilot, its just very aesthetically pleasing to me to see that detail in flying vehicles.

I have seen many videos, but I haven't played SE. As such I don't know what actually makes practical ships in combat and utility, but after seeing the tour of this ship I find myself in awe. I love how they made the design of the interior. The lighting, the placement of objects, the structure, it all appeals to me. The bridge feels serious and, like said in the video, intimidating. I love the setup of the main command chair, allowing one to see damage to the ship as well as have the needed data within sight. The engine room looked efficient and practical for repairs (and looks great with the red low-light illumination). The crew-quarters are a bit small but not entirely unexpected on a military ship; yet the design of the surrounding walls and hallways make a nice contrast to the large open spaces of the rest of the carrier. The hanger is spacious but not over enlarged and the various lights letting crew know when certain machinery are running is a nice touch. With all that said, there are a few flaws I can see; namely the dorsal and ventral sections. Like mentioned in the video, the dorsal hanger bays are naturally a weak point. If a ship/s managed to catch it from above in constant fire I fear the ship would be cut in two pieces; the same could be said about the ventral side. With so little point-defense turrets on any side of the ship I feel like the Captain would have to rely quite a bit on the fleet to defend it. Even with all that said, this is all just the observations from a non-SE player. Anything I said could be very wrong since I have no first-hand experience. Regardless, this carrier is very pleasing to look at; you did a very good job giving us a tour. My thanks to all who read this far.

Респект автору. Титанический труд. Достоверная реализация, мостики ангары, медпункт, для командира совместил малые блоки с большими, что бы сделать компактную реализацию поворачиваемого под нужным углом дисплея, и много другого. Есть творческая жила и стиль дизайнера, удачно выбрал цвета и текстуры поверхностей и все это ванильными блоками, не заметил сторонних модов. Сам когда большие постройки делал проблема была цвета то как подобрать, а мой гигантский корабль внешне как летающий утюг. Жаль гигантский потенциал Space Engeneers только в создании моделей и остается. Полноценно воевать такие монстры не могут, а для мультиплеера они проблематичны и народу не набрать. Ботов инженеров, пушки, оружие авторы игры бы завезли, но им легче сделать новые ангарные двери и водородный бак, нежели потенциал еще больше увеличить.

This is the all around best ship I’ve ever seen, not just accessible and efficient, playable and good for RP and Pvp, but it looks so simple and good looking until you see just how impressive its utility is. Bravo 👏 👏

I think the green drones are about to get an upgrade.

I love me some big old thrusters ! On a serious note this thing is amazing .. it looks real .. the armour work is a true work of art...

This is one of the best looking and functioning ships I've seen. Totally love it I'd say the only thing i would change I'd add large turrets and missile launchers to it.

Yeah the idea of having a carrier purely for carrying drones to be controlled from a main command center is an interesting concept. Aesthetically speaking the ship is absolutely beautiful, and I think it would function quite well in a survival setting. That being said, the drone control area is kinda vulnerable to attack if an enemy was able to figure out that that's what it is and hit it in just the right spot with a couple missiles.

This is probably the most visually pleasing ship I've seen in a while on the workshop!

Having not watched LSG in several years, it's hilarious just how much more verbally distorted the "Hellllewww there" at the beginning is.

13:02 "Everyones rushin..." I see what you did there, lol

Nope. Not going to quote Tim Curry from Red Alert 3. Nope. SSSSSPAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCEEEE Dammit

I really, really appreciate the detail and thought put into this design. It is not only incredibly well detailed, the use of the green hull shading is both a bold move and makes sense. A similar shade of colour is used in Russian fighter jet cockpits. It lights up the inside of the cockpit in low light conditions and contrasts with the black controls and instruments, but it also doesn't reflect too much light, which could potentially blind the pilot. It does make sense to colour a spaceship this way to make EVA work easier! Overall, mad kudos from Doctor Budgie.

This ship looks absolutely amazing. I love the details and thought that went into the different sections. The colors seem to work well and the shapes made by the shaped armor look very much like a possible space vessel. Functionality seems like it would tick all the main boxes and could benefit from some small upgrades. E.g. a few more turrets to protect the bridge area from ramming, extending the front top armor to cover more of the deck, adding a second hangar door to cover the top hangar. Adding a few ion engines just in case you run out of hydrogen or it gets blown up would probably help out too. The underside could probably be made a lot more robust with some armor that has embedded turrets. The drones themselves would probably benefit from a spinal missile launcher for additional punch against larger ships and a couple of the guns looked like they'd be hitting the drone's own underside armor, so possibly those would need moving. Overall a great ship, and I'd be interested to see how well she actually fares in combat. I bet it'd be really fun to get a bunch of people together and try to fly her.

Very smartly designed props to the person who made this

Dedicated Strike Carriers imo are underused in multiplayer. The ability to jump your faction's fighters to an enemy station/base is big. Plop your carrier far out of engagement range and let the fighters attack the base and take it, saving faction resources and time whilst also allowing your fighters to operate with less fuel constraints. A well thought out Strike Carrier can be a huge threat to any faction if designed and used properly!

Full name: Drone Supercarrier Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov. Damn that's a mouthful.

Amazing as always!

12:55 "Well, that's it, then--bring the ship back up to combat alert: alpha. I want everyone at their stations." "Everyone, sir?" "Everyone." _Unseal the Hushed Casket_

Awesome build , love it!

Video idea: build a bait ship for hydrogen men, arm it with warheads something else.

Imagine the cinematics you can use with this awesome ship.

Wow, this is a masterpiece of engineering. I am awestruck.

could be nice to see this spaceship as the start of a new survival series with a lot of players, could create a lot of different scenarios

Just finished one of my own, heavily inspired by this front design. The spacing in the armour is effective too.

очень хорошо!

thats Pretty Epic! i'm going to give this a try with the drones.

That is quite a flying base!

Very beautiful carrier.

real nice carrier.

Hypercarrier: mobile docking and manufacturing platform to resupply a carrier fleet between engagements. Manufactures and processes ammo and components for distribution to docking carriers. Mining shops dock to offload ore, hypercarrier processes into needed components. Logistics mothership frame to sync up thruster usage. Credit me for inspiration if the reader builds, I can’t run this game.

It needs gravity generators so that those welder vehicles don't suffer from that little issue you found near the end of the video. That's the very first thought that actually stuck in my mind about this ship design.

looking great :-)

I like it, I would have a riot modding that monster :D My last carrier ship was about 3 years of tinkering and modding till I accidentally lost it with a format and reinstall. I think you've found me a new platform !

Have been watching your vids for years, finally got a pc and got the game, and im hooked

This is the kind of build that would be great for a small space fairing crew role play.

i have been waiting to see a drone carrier of this scale for some time, but never in my wildest dreams sis i picture something this well armored. The only change that I'd make is drones with more unilateral movement but that's mostly preference on my part; the kind of control that this ship has is already more than can be asked for.

Оставлю этот комментарий тут, пожалуй. 🙂

6/10 not on fire and lacks several holes in it's deck from cranes falling. Seriously it's pretty cool though. Will definitely be making an OKI or weapons core refit. Additional: I wonder how effective laser antennas would be in drone control

I'd add artificial mass to the maintenance vehicles so they're not so useless.

2 of these, some escorts, and a huge fleet battle.

i want to see a battle using this ship or some other drone carrier type ship

I find it funny that its called the Admiral Kuznetsov because it have a feeling its going to destroy its flying dry dock

holaaa realmente buen video deseo que permanezcan haciendo videos similares!!! Voy a seguir mirando sus creaciones. Les mando un abrazo nos vemos luego ☝️👍🏽

The welding ships had artificial mass so they wouldn’t fly around too much, also I really like the ship, would only add more guns and more access paths to various inner components of the ship

Fair. I’d have put a couple mass blocks on those welder drones, but otherwise that’s the coolest thing I’ve seen for a long time in SE.

Can Canada get one? I’ve been DYING for the Canadian Navy to have an aircraft carrier. In Space Engineers, we could have a fleet in SPACE!!! The awesomeness would be unimaginable!

I'm willing to bet that the one welding rover thing was left behind there. hehe.

cool vid me and my wife battled two of these the other day.

I had the papers please music playing in my head the whole time 😂

the only thing that sucks is that current space engineers combat is so shitty that we cant use these massive ships in cohesive continual combat which is truly quite shameful

If it works it's half the beauty itself

You deserve more view bro Stands of gamers

I lovet that Admiral Kuznetsov

For a vanilla ship this is very cool.

Honestly don't usually like block style ships but this one looks the part it's blocky but with style :O

Хороший корабль отвечающий всем канонам российского оружия >Надежность >Бронирование >Простота >Маневренность

The alarm... first time I heard it, it was in Total Annihilation

This isn't a ship but I work of freaking art!! An extremely functional work of art yet which is even better. Only negative here is realizing I suck at shipbuilding lol. :b

I wish SE could actually handle enough players to make one of these ships actually feasible to use in a multiplayer session.

not being able to rebuild drones in space seems to be a bit of a fubar, however plenty of easy enough options available to fix that. Overall a great ship if fully crewed ;)

I'm not really a Fan of Drones, I like being in the Cockpit itself. However, I can understand the effectiveness of Drones by Autonomy or Remote Control. More on the Subject...I like the design and the Drones. I see a few things that could've been done differently. 1. The back could be open so Drones could land from behind the Ship like that of an Aircraft Carrier...eh maybe not, cause the Thrust Pack may be essential. 2. Instead of using Vehicles, there could be a Grinder/ Welder Bay or Pit somewhere on board the Ship. 3. The top Hanger of the Ship should have a Blast Door or Heavy Armored Hanger Door for Defense and support against Enemy fire.

Always get a laugh from the subtitles here from Aaron's intro. 'Hello there and as usual lime air from my stank gamers' Awesome lmao

Have dual welderbays for atmo vs space fighters. Ship is great got me back onto SE for the first time in a few months

just wait till the US builds ten drone carriers about twice as big. then decides it doesn't have enough electricity, and build 10 new ones that are barely larger.

The thing looks great, but seems quite vulnerable from the front, back and top. I'd say a single fighter with some heavy ordnance could take the thing out

The bridge gave me a star wars theme

Could make for a good setting for some simulated boarding encounters.

I think the worst part is that it requires so many people to be functional. At this point it should have a mobile base secondary function, because you have to rely on so many people just to work it, then you have to rely on many more to keep it stocked, and keep drones being made. That said, it looks tough as hell, maneuvers well, and is aesthetically pleasing.

Battle idea = 2 carriers with x amount of people each fight each other. Whoever destroys the opponent's core first (no sneaking aboard and grinding it) wins.

Would be great use for the green drone army

Can you take a look at "Avorion"? It's similar to space enginneers, no 1st person, but much much much more awesome builds are possible and ship building is just a tiny part of the game overall, it's a massive strategy, completely soloplayer or online, with an almost endless galaxyto explore, ability to build an gigantic empire, have carriers and fleets and miners and salvagers and stations, defense platforms, treansport roots for goods, refineries, docks etc etc, all for AI and the player. It's the best building game that I've ever played and an absolute underdog at steam, although it's just starting to become more and more popular. What it lacks most is content creators, guides, build showcases etc

I understand how if the gyroscopic movement is to low. in a combat situation it would be your downfall (Most likely) but if i was to make it of that movement, it wouldn't give me that large feel a ship should. i want to know what i'm flying is a big boy and it isn't scared for a fight. i don't want a large vessel moving like my miner in hanger 3 if you know what i mean? i don't know it's entirely up to the creators choice. Anyway that's just my Opinion. Great video Aaron. Keep it up!

when ever i try building a big ship it just ends up looking like its from mine craft

Problem with this is that SE can't even handle the number of players needed to crew this thing realistically.

Please showcase my ship lol The Ron Don Johnson Experimental Propulsion.... it will accelerate as fast as possible regardless of mass I dont think ive seen you show a ship with the same propulsion mechanism

you shold get an army of viewers and use this in a war scenario

I think if it had a bunch of turrets on it it would be super functional on its own, but the way it is right now I’d expect that it would need an escort from a cruiser type ship to protect it

Using this ship design as a basic concept to be upgraded. I would consider expanding on the armor plates with some diaganal sections on rotors for an almost Star Destroyer wedge to it in some places and with some armor plates on pistions to move out around the ship like a blowfish to protect the main hull, using pistion and rotors cargo conections so each of the armor plates have cannons and small protected hidden hydrogen thrusters. Also try to compact some areas inside the main hull like the bridge to try and prevent air breach.

I don’t play SE. However I’d replace those wheel based repair vehicles with something more universal, if the game has it. Anything with a combination of extreme gripping, magnetic plates, grappling chains, and thrusters. I’m thinking something that’s capable of repairing fighter craft and the ship itself. I imagine this ship would fight at long ranges, so having an impromptu repair system would be extremely valuable if they need to maintain functionality or maneuverability.

You should use it on one of your Servers, but i would change the welders from rovers to drones

Ship looks absolutely fantastic, but hardly functional for multiplayer purposes ;) We all know well that the most efficient grid is a brick ;) No one fights with beautiful ships, unless it's creative mode or it doesn't hurt to lose tons of material or time sacrificed for welding :P Also kinda too many rotors and pistons as for SE DS standards ;)

It appears to be missing billowing clouds of thick, black smoke.

looks like a 40k Battle Barges

These ships are great, although in reality at least in my experience that I have only played this since last November you only find space shoe boxes, I have not seen a ship worth mentioning in this time on nimgum server haha

Yo Aaron i have this ship subbed because i was looking for a carrier xD

That fighter is based on the fictional Mig-31 "Firefox" from the movie of the same name.

Considering that ship was made for looks (those rotors scream "Klang"!), I don't think that spaced armor is intentional (some parts would fall off too easily). But probably coincidentally he make it in quite decent way even if it was statistical choice. Most people sadly don't understand how to save mass properly. Lack of even emergency Ions is huge flaw. Weapons are almost not existing (yes, I know it is carrier, but even here few more PDC's should be there). Ship is also excessively overpowered regard engine power (why it need to be atmospheric capable?), what contradict point of this ship class. Also direct access to reactor is huge flaw in any ship class. Even those not oriented on combat. Despite noticeable size it lack fighter hard point, still it is rare case of ship actually be worthy to be considered as Fleet Carrier (I personally consider as Drone Carriers small space ops ships, what can't transport anything beside those. When this one definitely could take whole guild). If only it would use space more efficiently! Also welding system is super inefficient, at best I would consider it as repairing. Bridge needlessly exposed not providing too much visibility at the same time. Props for multiple access to hangar, even if it is still needlessly exposed. Still in long run quite decent ship considering SE lack of standard 8/10

tis a fine vessel

looks good but there is a weak spot in its PD coverage at the rear of the ship and the prow.

Nice ship, too bad it will never be crewed and it will never see the combat it was designed for.

Looks like agood platform for a lot types of ships

The ship is ’kuznetsov’ a reference to the russian federation’s only aircraft carrier currently in service. Kuznetzov is a common russian last name. Kuznetz meaning smith. It’s ’the smithson’ roughly

This is an awesome ship, it also looks nice I literally just got the game a built a ship that’s like as long as this but Is very ugly compared to this, it just a rotated square!

Nationalism in space engineers

Whenever you let all the air escape i cry ;__;
