- 3 huge player groups face off over the course of a week fighting for control of an admin station!
The Draconis Expanse server is based on the popular show "The Expanse" featuring PDC-Torp-Railgun based combat, a scale Sol system, the ring space, and Epstein drives.

Those PDC's tracking torps are amazing to see. So awesome.
When I see those clips I really do think the dev team got it right on this server
That's my favorite part of the expanse show and server yes. Love watching PDCs just unload soooo much hail on torps
THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN!!!! KEEEP IT UPPPP!!!
Excellent footage Alpha
Awesome stuff as always!!!!!
FORMIDAN COLONIAL NAVY MEANTIONED !!!!!!!!!!!! RAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
lol
this looks pretty cool, I might want to get back on the server. I haven't played since before yall redid the system and squished it down a bit and my base was already pretty far out, is there any chance I could get everything moved to a more reasonable distance or has that ship sailed?
Yeup! we offer free moves for anyone coming back from before the map update.
You should do a new tutorial for the sever.
We have a new player guide google doc that is constantly updated. It’s much easier than trying to make a new video everytime we change something.
So much data was lost haha, couldn’t let the enemy get a hold of the data.
Asset denial
rest in piece carl, you were a good pet rock
RIP
Launching Carl head first into the whole MCR fleet was absolutely hilarious.
my jaw was on the floor watching that@@yeet7487
@@alphamatte4259 i also saw you included me messing around with a seraphim shooting into the station, fun time.
What pilot skills are needed when railguns shoot themselves, PDC too, and all the control players have is distance to target, communication between each other and who grinds the most guns?
Not a complaint, just want to see what else is out there
- Using torps to create distance
- knowing when to turn and burn when a large torp volley is coming your way
- staying at optimal distance to have good railgun accuracy
- painting your targets critical points with the target painter mode (thrusters and railguns)
- rotating your ship between torp volleys so that your PDCs don't overheat
- making sure that both your railguns have optimal LOS to your target
- making sure your PDCs have optimal LOS to incoming torp volleys, etc.
This server is MUCH more than bigger gun-brick wins. I watched an incredible pilot in an inferior ship take on two decent pilots in meta grids and walk away to fight another day.
If you are looking for brick meta, this server is not for you. If you are looking for real skill and grid design based combat, then you have found the right place.
@@alphamatte4259 how about making video tutorial about this skill in combat? )
Sounds interesting, wanna see how skill can take two meta builds )
@@MENTOR_PICTURES I'd have to interview another player lol - i am far from the best pilot on server
@@alphamatte4259 just giving you an idea 💡
I'd love to see such content on your channel ))
for sure I'll look into it @@MENTOR_PICTURES
It was a pretty cool event and we really look forward to more, but uh... it was mostly logistics and resupply for us out here
Time to build up that fleet to be ready for the next event!
@@alphamatte4259 excuse me sir, but I am a poor impoverished belter, being strangled under the heel of Inner's Imperialism. I can't afford much fleet building
@@matthewpohlmann6623 Sounds like you should join a nation or a larger faction, or recruit some new members. This server is focused on large group gameplay and is difficult for solo players.
@@alphamatte4259 man, I'm in a faction already, It's just me that's poor bruh
*Would be interesting* with a game & event like this, but everyone starts off with unlimited building resources, so the only limiting factor is the players skills: Building, piloting & fighting.
Everyone has the same amount of time & resources, so the winners is those who can design, build & use those designs. And I bet that if this is repeated several times, the designs will evolve too, because the same design will not work, because the other factions build "counter-ships" for those ships, so the fist faction has to build "counter counter-ships" and so on.
It would be interesting to see which are the best designs each round :D
Ships cost in-game money and time on this server and we want to keep it that way. It makes players make smart decisions with their ships and not always suicidally charge their enemies.
@@alphamatte4259 You have more experience, what changes do you think would be beneficial to creating a "beneficial environment" for making big (multi-crew?) capital ships?
Or maybe some kind of carrier ships?
@@sebbes333 Carrier ships don't really exist in the Expanse Lore - which is what our server is based on, so that probably will never happen.
Capital ships will probably not be multicrew either, because of how SE is coded. Almost everything needed to run a ship can be controlled from one cockpit so players never need to multicrew unless they want to.
@@alphamatte4259 sorry for asking, but how come you folks don't also play starbase from frozenbyte? literally thousands of players play in the same universe, players build their own voxel spaceships, spaceships with structural integrity and even actual powercables that can be cut by a bullet, players can build on the moons also, can build massive mobile bases that can be conquered by rival clans, same for clan built spacestations and moon bases, each bullet damage in the spaceships actually exists in their really super tiny voxels, it's a game really catering for your type of gameplay
there are 4 groups, unafilliated exist as well!
Unaffiliated just means you are not in a group. It is not a group.
Is it a bad idea to play this server without watching the expanse?
No - that’s perfectly okay
this looks amazing but I do have a question regarding ship combat, is stuff like spin to win allowed? I'm asking because I know a lot of people don't like it because while it is one of the most effective pvp/pve playstyles for ship combat it also takes a lot of the fun out of it so I wanna ask if it is allowed and whether it is or isn't what your opinion is on it
We’ve had plenty of people try it, they may get a slight advantage but most of our weapons are not really affected by it. The combat you are seeing is from hardcore PvP factions flying meta ships. If spin to win worked they would be doing it lol.
We only allow main drives in one direction and it’s enforced through a mechanical plugin. So spin to win is insanely hard to do and doesn’t really help that much as I said above.
@@alphamatte4259 fair enough, but I do genuinely love how cinematic the combat looks on your server, I hope to see more in the future! Have a great day!
what server is that?
Draconis Expanse
How do I sign up lol

Rest in peace Carl you beautiful Hero o7

Hello, I just downloaded Space Engineers recently and I am very new to the game.
Is this Expanse server beginner friendly? Because this was my main reason of downloading it to have some Expanse fun
You can join the server as a beginner but I highly suggest watching a lot of tutorials on how to play the game. Splitsie on UA-cam has the best beginner tutorials.
