Space Engineers - The fastest way to space 

I mean, you don’t want to tumble, that might mess up the view.

@@J0hnB09 yeah, if you notice the other bombs launched alongside him they shift and spin a fair bit.

@@darling_uwu yeah... why?

@@darling_uwu yikes

That would be a very intimidating sight

As vying as that is, it is subtle, but you notice that even with the chair added how much slower it launched him initially than the other two parallel projectiles? I reckon you'd have to upscale it in a different way in order for it to work for larger masses. I do say that's next on the agenda. On a similar note, I see a fairly efficient delivery system onto planets. Also possibly a good way to test parachutes limitations.

@@Valdoroth This is exactly the application I was thinking of. Orbital drop delivery, whether it be cargo or emergency eject for troops

@@Valdoroth It's not that hard to modify just have to remove the welder and swap out the projectile. It'll defiantly get you to max speed and beyond, you just have to have a crazy enough pilot to handle it.

holy shit and make them drones!?

*platinum or uranium mine, you mean? Golds way too common in all my worlds

@@Shinzon23 for me gold and nickel don’t exist, although that goes for uranium as well

@@benwilke8975 I play with ai encounters so I just yoink cargoships to feed me giant ships

And it is specifically set up to shoot you to the MOON.

I second that notion and maybe also see if you can fire one of the vanilla large ships or one of your choosing into orbit with it test the limits of its power.

@@hades1890 We'll stand by in bated breath for the results!

Another idea is to use fighter launch tubes that just hurl interceptors out at insane speeds with a clang gun

@@alexottmer2728 Kinda like star fox ya that would be a very helpful implementation.

Oh yes please launch a ship!!

That might work

I think before you need to mod space speed

@@klonorex I don't think so because this gun itself breaks the game's speed limitations... Why shouldn't another gun break it, too?

i really want to see that now

I don't think having moving part on the projectile will work out great

"You cant just shoot a hole into the surface of mars" *instense silence as he proceeds to shoot a hole into the surface of mars*

Or a Unit Cannon from Planetary Annihilation...

@@kabob0077 Or the UEF unit cannon from Supreme Commander 2

@@onyyxxfirehazard8996 That one can only work on the planet, the one in PA shoots units across the system.

@@kabob0077 Ahhh, I see

Yeah imma try to make that work lol

gotta build a space lift and then a cannon like that launches a proper shuttle to different planets using coordinates for alignment :p

Shooting stuff into space is a genuine concept, namely with railguns. On a planet with no atmosphere this is a brilliant idea (think moon)

@@Tonatsi The aceleration would destroy any ship and kill every one inside.

@@pewpewman._.3415 it's a genuine idea for non-human transportation, I mean. You just need to build something that can withstand the force, which isn't impossible

@@pewpewman._.3415 That's why he said "think moon"

@@Tonatsi Railguns is the weaponized name. The actual device for launching objects at high speed into space is called mass driver.

If you had Kinetic Devastation installed, you'd be able to do tremendous damage to a ship in space from the planet with a higher power version of this, as well as a heavier projectile.

@@lostandlonely2112 it was a reference tho the name of the chanel...

For here Am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Satreus is Yellow And there's nothing I can do

thats a negative, stay in the spacecraft!

Remember, though: Tracers work both ways.

Ive tried doing this and the crated just bloe up at around 15 thousand feet and your items get scattered everywhere

@@joshuawhite4113 nice, so it's basically a firework, just a very shitty one of that

@@Sniper_4_Life yep the game engine just deletes it from the world because of its speed and the blocks clutching

Jesus lord to don't give him ideas lol

Where's that from?

@@Anvilshock made it up. But I guess it's meant to sound like a Morgan Freeman narration.

@@Leisurelee53 Colourful choice of words, I like it!

Not NASA but look up project HARP. It’s literally just a massive cannon

You had me thinking I've been singing that song wrong.

The speed should bypass any turrets

If you do this on servers the admins just delete them

imagine launching a small fighter into space with one of these things.

@@ferretforrent1144 that'd be really neat!

Kinda, but a single gun "only" has 90 MJ of Energy. At 1 ton thats 300 m/s, at 9 tons just 100. Might be possible to attach like a dozen guns to your ship though :D

Are you thinking what I am thinking... Anti spacecraft cannons.
