Hey guys and gals! I'm off celebrating my B-day today. So this super short video highlighting a few test battles we did over on www.twitch.tv/CaptainShack. So no Stellaris today. Have a fantastic day everyone!
No shields and no vulture droids? Kinda unfair there. Although I'm just impressed how smoothly that all ran, normally this would've lagged to shit and crashed.
You can always expect that when TheXPGamers sets up a Star Wars battle, the Republic will win. He'll make SURE of it. He SAYS "VENATOR vs PROVIDENCE" but what he means is "Small Providence with a few guns vs Venator, Acclimator, Arquitens, and 5 fighters."
Oh man... Space Engineers has come such a long way. We've been dreaming about fights like these for years and finally they have done it! Huge applauds for Keen and Space Engineers dev team!
Ah how beautiful space engineers has become, and now all that’s truly left is to make it so that you can fully crew a small squad of large ships and have a massive battle, if space engineers reaches that point I’ll never play another game xD
You should do a battle with a boarding party of two who jump onto the enemy ship as you pass by at point blank range and they jump onto the ship to plant bombs or sabotage the engines / guns somehow. That would be awesome :)
This was the coolest thing I have ever seen done on SE, Iv tried so hard to enjoy the game but its just so much grinding with no reward. If I could get into severs like this I would play more.
I wish there could be more people in space engineers servers. It'd be great to have a 2000 person server, where there were literally hundreds of people manning ships in combat with a scale so massive it's hard to comprehend. Imagine being in a 1 man fighter, weaving inbetween ships manned by crew of 50, only to go through a rather intense firefight in space, only to happen upon a massive capital ship roughly 5x the size of the other ships. Imagine watching that ship be rammed by a smaller ship on your side, forcing it down into the planet below's atmosphere. Imagine watching escape pods and drop ships coming out of this ship as it falls, some being caught under the ship and destroyed, others making it away, being captured, shot down, or simply crashing due to damage they made during the escape. Imagine being turned away from the spectacle, due to the fact your ship has been damaged, and you are falling. Imagine struggling to control your ship, and surviving the crash. Imagine trekking towards the ruined capital ship, now sitting dark and still. Imagine being captured and killed by survivors of the crash, only to respawn in a ship in orbit, and doing it all over again. THAT is what space engineers combat should feel like. Not these tiny ass skirmishes involving 2-3 ships and a few fighters. It's just not enough.
Your music is awesome! Can you put your playlist somewhere, or just make a little Top 10 Sci-Fi / Exploration music and just name them off? Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN SHACK! You're awesome and the videos are always well put together and just a fun ride. Thanks for existing and have a great day off!
Holy shit what is this your able to control a venetor star destroyer?! With full details and your able to actually repair and contorl everything in the ship?!? Crazy
Super Tactical Droid: "Prepare for frontal assault." "All Units, to battle stations" Bridge droid: "We're going to show these meatbags how powerful the Confederacy is" FOR THE CONFEDERACY All droids on deck: "ROGER ROGER."
What great timing since... well you know. A fan favorite show is making a return for one last time. That ion cannon from the series would've been useful.
Good News: Shack made a SE video.. Better News: Shack will make a SE Cinematic. Best News: WAIT WAS THAT MORPHS VOICE! *brace yourselves* _SE Group Survival is coming._
You know in a real battle the providence trounces the venator with no fighters allowed it has more weapons and the 8 powerfull turbo lasers can be destroyed with the providences proton torpedo launchers quicking tacking out the main fire power of the venator
Joaco 21O Those 8 guns, despite their power, will not carry the day. In the clone wars series, 3 venators were ordered to retreat when confronted by 6 muificents, which are basically glass cannons. A providence is probably better than 2 munificents.
Joaco 21O All of what you've said is true (though, it should be noted only the duel heavy tubolasers are stated to have a 10 light-minute range; and this probably the least powerful setting)(edit: actually, I can't find anything that says the venator has better shielding). However, while the venator has better fighters, the battle was explicitly stated to be between capital ships without their fighters. Head to head, without fighters, it would be even, according to Wookieepedia(or the providence might win outright; the article just says a providence could take on venators, so it can be interpreted either way).
Joaco 21O the Providence has known to be a better ship stop being a venator fanboy. There’s a reason why only one leads the CIS fleet. According to canon sources providences have been known have better ship to ship weapons and shields. The republic has to rely on their great fighter support with bombers to really do damage to the CIS fleets. This isn’t even mentioning the dreadnaught version of the providence that can hold entire blockades by itself. If the venator was all that then there’s no competition and the bad guy wouldn’t be so fearful. The CIS was winning throughout the war and the republic was bankrupt until uncle palpy turned everything around.
Wow, color me impressed. I haven’t touched SE in several months. It’s a shame really, but I’ve really been enjoying Empyrion. This may actually make me come back to it
Josh Long Yeah sadly that’s true. I’m currently the farthest I’ve ever gotten in the game, in a purely resource/amount of crap I’ve got way, and I can definitely see the end of stuff I’ll actually have to do soon.
Excellent video! There are however two main mod improvements I see that need to be made from a non-Space Engineers perspective. The ability to program weapons to target unified objects of particular sizes. So light guns attack fighter sized objects, turbo lasers target warships. As I see it, so many of these fights are one-sided because one team will accurately fire at center of mass, and the other will shoot off at one particularly damned chunk of floating metal. Second, firing speed. Lowering the firing speed of weapons but upping the damage by an equal amount would help with server load. Instead of the server needed to constantly track all the many bolts, and what they're hitting, it only needs to track a few, and when they hit, the server has time between impacts to calculate damage and physics. EVE online solved this problem during big fleet fights some time ago by cheating the system. Insteadof individuals fighters, fighters instead were put into "wings" which calculate cumulative damage as a group, and when the "wing's" health was hurt sufficiently, the wing would "lose" a fighter, cutting its damage by a percentage based on how big the wing was (I think it's five. I'm not a carrier pilot yet.) Little shortcuts like that thinking outside the box could really help this game. Then again I'm not sure whats possible within the game's engine. I look forward to more!
Turrets kept targeting the fighters over the larger ships. Wish you had an escort frigate or something, or at least more fighters. Was still really cool anyway, and pretty amazing that the engine has come so far to be able to handle it.
It looks very promising. I just hope keen continues to make adjustments to the MP but this is a lot better. MP has come such a long wayyyyyyy I bet if you guys turned off a few of those turrets on the Last ship that last battle would have ran smoother. Great video!!
Hey guys and gals! I'm off celebrating my B-day today. So this super short video highlighting a few test battles we did over on www.twitch.tv/CaptainShack.
So no Stellaris today. Have a fantastic day everyone!
TheXPGamers happy birthday
Happy birthday dude
Happy birthday shack
Happy birthday have a great and wonderful day
congrats
"We've lost the bridge"
Not to worry, you're still flying half a ship.
that's not the bridge , it s a navigation/communication center , the bridge is in front
Abandon ship!!!
Get to the escape pods
It’s truly awesome how far space engineers has come
Dup Pup
Remember when u couldn't spawn 2 big ships
Apparently they are just recently getting multiplayer to stabilize and improve.
the red rocket ytuber also you can now walk on the ship while in movement without getting a seizure every time
mattia stroppolatini
And build things in survival with out it costing your hole life savings
And first born child
I remember when you couldn't have 1 without 0.6 sim speed.
This is literally what I always dreamed it would be when I saw space engineers workshop for the first time. Please give us more of this content.
I love how the bridge was lost.
*Sees bolt traveling straight at him*
"Oh no".
* getting Executioner flashbacks*
No shields and no vulture droids? Kinda unfair there.
Although I'm just impressed how smoothly that all ran, normally this would've lagged to shit and crashed.
NumericChaff multiplayer update 😊
Sondre Meier
Didnt the update introduce 32 players?
Saggy Von Noodlez
64
paul josephs
Daaamn
Saggy Von Noodlez
I wouldn't go above 32 players. As the server really starts to struggle
Add a ton of vulture droid drones and it'd be even better!
automated vulture drone assembly line would be awesome.
Kevin Miedema yeah sounds cool
And 2 jedi ships
Also arc and v wings
So true
You can always expect that when TheXPGamers sets up a Star Wars battle, the Republic will win. He'll make SURE of it. He SAYS "VENATOR vs PROVIDENCE" but what he means is "Small Providence with a few guns vs Venator, Acclimator,
Arquitens, and 5 fighters."
Anyone else is hyped for the clone wars returning?
Of course!
Yesss
Yeah boii
You might say my blood's boiling for it

Dr Microwave - repeat. This is not a drill!
Dr Microwave - There's a tri on your tail.
Chri Ni watch those hand rockets!
lordultor That was expected. We're clones, watch your fire.
Shack not fighting for the Republic?!
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Best quotes “oh no oh no, everything’s fine” “I’m a captain not an engineer” lol
Why does the first part play twice? Was there an editing error?
I'm pretty sure it may have been
Deja vu
Andreas Tormin I have been in this place before
Why does the first part play twice? Was there an editing error?

Oh man... Space Engineers has come such a long way. We've been dreaming about fights like these for years and finally they have done it! Huge applauds for Keen and Space Engineers dev team!
10:15
not to worry we are still flying half a ship...
That jump into battle at the start was epic 👍 XD
Is it just me or Shack preformed a Picard manouver in Star Wars.
not quite the Picard maneuver as warp wasn't instantaneous making the vessel appear to be in two places at once.
CAOSWOLFIII you get the point, though, also good pfp CNC, you GDI dog, Kane lives in death!
Why does the republic get a support fleet? It would of been fair if your team had another providence and the Republic gets one less ship.
Coulda been:
Republic: Venator, Acclamator
CIS: Providence, Munificent
Happy birthday shack!
Ah how beautiful space engineers has become, and now all that’s truly left is to make it so that you can fully crew a small squad of large ships and have a massive battle, if space engineers reaches that point I’ll never play another game xD
That was some of the most fun I've had on Space Engineers. I loved flying the Venetor in the earlier ones we did, and this battle was epic
You should do a planetary invasion in space engineers
That huge, trailing debris field was beautiful.
*A L L B A T T E R I E S F I R E F I R E ! ! !*
Star Chaser *A* *L* *L* *S* *H* *I* *P* *S* *F* *I* *R* *E* *A* *T* *W* *I* *L* *L*!!!!!
Star Chaser why am i hearing that in the tinny droid voices
@@huntsman95 b/c of that one Clone Wars episode
10:15
"Not to worry, we are still flying half a ship."
Best part was the clip of you walking around the ship while it was falling apart, looks much better than just blocks deleting like it used to do.
Never really like space engineers until now, Thanks Shack
That was a space battle worthy of star Wars. Was almost cintematic. Great job!
this is the coolest video ive seen in years, i got the feeling i have when i watch a star wars movie while watching this
You prepare ur butts my eclipse is halfway done
Si Mon where you gonna get the axial superlaser
Pleasantly surprised by your modified Picard Manuver. Haha Very pumped for this clip!
7:40 “ohh no”
It was at this moment you knew... you phucked up.
You should do a battle with a boarding party of two who jump onto the enemy ship as you pass by at point blank range and they jump onto the ship to plant bombs or sabotage the engines / guns somehow. That would be awesome :)
Happy birthday Shack. Been with you for 4 years and still going love your videos and do more AOTR
happy birthday Cap! I totally geeked when you pulled the Picard Maneuver. SE is GOAT
Dude i havent seen your channel in a few months and holy shit what a video to come back to
This was the coolest thing I have ever seen done on SE, Iv tried so hard to enjoy the game but its just so much grinding with no reward. If I could get into severs like this I would play more.
I can't explain to you how awesome that was!
If ONLY star wars battlefront had that much immersion...
"This is pushing it to the breaking point" Jack put like 8 ships against the full version of the Malevolence, most were Venators.
I liked the view from the inside when the ship was being destroyed. Quite surreal
Just imagine a fleet of scrappers coming in after the battle. So beautiful.
That sweet ass mid battle jump, is halo as fuck lol. I applaud that excellent use of jump drives to gain strategic advantage
I wish there could be more people in space engineers servers. It'd be great to have a 2000 person server, where there were literally hundreds of people manning ships in combat with a scale so massive it's hard to comprehend. Imagine being in a 1 man fighter, weaving inbetween ships manned by crew of 50, only to go through a rather intense firefight in space, only to happen upon a massive capital ship roughly 5x the size of the other ships. Imagine watching that ship be rammed by a smaller ship on your side, forcing it down into the planet below's atmosphere.

Imagine being turned away from the spectacle, due to the fact your ship has been damaged, and you are falling. Imagine struggling to control your ship, and surviving the crash. Imagine trekking towards the ruined capital ship, now sitting dark and still. Imagine being captured and killed by survivors of the crash, only to respawn in a ship in orbit, and doing it all over again.
THAT is what space engineers combat should feel like.
Not these tiny ass skirmishes involving 2-3 ships and a few fighters.
It's just not enough.
-Gets recommended
Me: k
Also me: this is fucking great
Happy Birthday and This is actually the coolest thing ever
About 5 minutes in demonstrates the main problem with the bridges on star wars ships. "WHERE'S THE BRIDGE?!? THE BRIDGE IS GONE!!"
Your music is awesome! Can you put your playlist somewhere, or just make a little Top 10 Sci-Fi / Exploration music and just name them off? Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN SHACK! You're awesome and the videos are always well put together and just a fun ride. Thanks for existing and have a great day off!
This is a great battle. U should have a fully crewed ISD vs a mon cal cruiser. Happy birthday shack
Holy shit what is this your able to control a venetor star destroyer?! With full details and your able to actually repair and contorl everything in the ship?!? Crazy
Happy Birthday Shack! May you have all the coffee in the world!
The only problem I had when you said the bridge was gone, but it was the observation deck, the bridge is close to the bow and on top of the Providence
7:39 the "oh no" got me rolling
I downloaded Space Engineers two day ago, so far I've logged 31 hours. I love this game.
I like how the short range ambush hyperspace jump is actually a tactic Thrawn uses in legends.
Happy birthday, and awesome video!
7:36 we could see your life flash before your eyes
Morph Buddy, Its So Nice To See Your Back In Full Swing Also I Love The Colab You Have With XPGamer
Loved it!!! I wish that a real Star Wars game was made like this!
Providence was a little undersized but still fun to watch
(Also needed your vulture droids :P)
Only A Providence?! You should add A Bankenclan Frigate, And the Recusant Cruiser for the CIS fleet...
Super Tactical Droid: "Prepare for frontal assault." "All Units, to battle stations"
Bridge droid: "We're going to show these meatbags how powerful the Confederacy is" FOR THE CONFEDERACY
All droids on deck: "ROGER ROGER."
the moment he said to an acclamator arquitens RIP Star Wars Heart 5:53 He said then Acclamator but this fail will not be forgotten.
Omg this game is like a childhood dream come true. Looks so fucking fun
i have 10000 hours on space engineers. awesome game. great battle shack.
What great timing since... well you know. A fan favorite show is making a return for one last time.
That ion cannon from the series would've been useful.
A-WE-SO-ME Do more, and thank you for recording that !
Good News: Shack made a SE video..
Better News: Shack will make a SE Cinematic.
Best News: WAIT WAS THAT MORPHS VOICE!
*brace yourselves* _SE Group Survival is coming._
7:38 is exactly what a Droid would say LOL
You know in a real battle the providence trounces the venator with no fighters allowed it has more weapons and the 8 powerfull turbo lasers can be destroyed with the providences proton torpedo launchers quicking tacking out the main fire power of the venator
Joaco 21O uhhh the Providence is a MON CAL ship so it has better shields cuz Mon cal shields are ridiculously OP
Jedi Wolf No, it is not. It was designed by the quarran, a different race from the same planet.
Joaco 21O Those 8 guns, despite their power, will not carry the day. In the clone wars series, 3 venators were ordered to retreat when confronted by 6 muificents, which are basically glass cannons. A providence is probably better than 2 munificents.

This may actually make me come back to it
darklyt750 emp is great until you have everything set up and there's Nothing left to work toward. I played for months
Josh Long Yeah sadly that’s true. I’m currently the farthest I’ve ever gotten in the game, in a purely resource/amount of crap I’ve got way, and I can definitely see the end of stuff I’ll actually have to do soon.
That jump was sick!

Not to worry, you're still flying half a ship.
Anyone else angry how he called in the Malevolence? At least he declared the Venator the winner haha
Happy birthday shack! And hey its Morphologist!
-Incoming lazers to the bridge.-
Oh no.
Awesome video! I love the scale of these ships!
This is more entertaining then the last jedi
Honestly not surprised a capital ship and two Cruisers versus one capital ship it's obvious who's going to win
Put "Anakins Betrayl"/ Order 66's theme over the destruction and I could imagine this being the end of a Jedi Generals ship.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
That is such a satisfying game to watch
Happy birthday, Shack
7:30 - "Oh no" Famous last words
>fully crewed capital ships
>16 people total
ok
Turrets kept targeting the fighters over the larger ships. Wish you had an escort frigate or something, or at least more fighters. Was still really cool anyway, and pretty amazing that the engine has come so far to be able to handle it.

Enemy fleet be like "wtf was that bullshit?"
At least we're still flying half a ship
Oh man you guys got Roger Rogered!
Cheers Commander happy B Day mate.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I subscribed here and the recommended because of this
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY SHACK
A solid abbreviation of the clone wars
This video made me want space engineers
Sorry for the lateness but happy bday cap
This. This is what I’ve wanted.
3:51 he is pulling the Picard maneuver
