The only time in history where a neon orange fighter has been camouflaged against the backdrop.
lol :D
I'm seeing a pattern in this series ep1 " you never need much silicon" sometime later "we need more silicon" this episode "we have too much silicon"
You're not wrong, too much stuff, need to clear stuff, realise we needed the stuff we cleared :P
@@Splitsie a vicious cycle of silicon
@@Splitsieyou could probably create some dedicated storage for each type of ingot, enforced by sorters, that way you can remove excess that's not within that dedicated storage to make space for other things. Should make it easy to see incoming problems further away in time. Or just make emergency backup storage for each, so problems don't become suddenly crippling.
@@diazinth nah. Just make Capac carry it all
@@zoomzoom8749 hehe, though thank you for reminding me that I should change "should" with "could" as I've been trying be better at the last half a decade :D
Am I the only one at 2:46 when Slitsie said “Capac can you fly me to the moon” had to pause the video and listen to Frank Sinatra?
Aha! A man of culture I see!
I imagined splitsie singing it
I did exactly the same.
I did that as well.
Capac:ism of the day
This is what happens when you try to buy a Death Star off Wish.
Bonus Capac:ism.
I am going to build myself a lightcycle so that i can finish this TRON fantasy thats going on down here.
splitsie: "mind telling us where you are?"
Capac: "somone spilt ink on the Armor blocks!"
Splitsie: (ㆆ_ㆆ)
He is far too effective at being obtuse 🤔
I love the quiet judgement, "the reactor is an upgrade you csn earn" :)
lol :D
"Any landing is still a landing." -Captain Shack School of Flight
Ohh, that old series was a hot minute ago.. :) I kinda want to go back and watch it again
That'll buff out
Definately worth giving it another watch@@anumeon
why does this make me think of the kool guy incident
Ooo that’s a callback.
Capac is a hero, chasing the H-Tram down into unknown territory, while Tiffany just sat in the vessel lamenting its imminent demise rather than trying to make emergency repairs... Come on Tiffany, you can do better than that!
Also, the asteroid lighting is great!
It's funny, I didn't think TFE should have done anything there when we were recording, but during editing I was surprised he didn't attempt to use his jetpack to fix anything at all after it started going wrong. Maybe he was happy to see the end of the haunted door? :D
I wonder if the Speed Limit mod had anything to do with the lack of major damage on "Landing".
Maybe the H-tram should get an armor upgrade? Almost every time it gets shot, the damage is to the hydrogen. This time was one of the less lucky times the hydrogen was cut. When you think about it, the Jugg and the Htram are the oldest surviving ships in the series, but aside from upgrades during Skywarps early stages, only the Jugg has been used and upgraded over time
Capac: Whose backpack is this…It could be the villains’.
Um, you are the villains 😂
I really thought the H-Tram was going to die. So glad it survived and will get to be rebuilt (again) but Capac has to be the real hero for cannibalising his ship and chasing the H-Tram down to save it.
Congrats on the capture at the end and the new lighting in the asteroid looks great.
I cannot believe it landed with barely a thunk.
@@pinaz993 especially the speed TFE was going at at the end there. How did the H-Tram not leave a huge impact crater going at 150.5m/s?
C-tram? New Capac ship?
I had a sudden thought... Will the H-Tram's haunted door still be haunted after this? Maybe that landing will count as "percussive maintenance" and fix it?
Splitsie gets back to the asteroid.
A looming shadow blocks out the sun.
Splitsie: " What is that? "
TFE: " What is what? "
Splitsie: " That huge ship above the asteroid? "
TFE: " Oh,, that! That's my fighter. " ;P
Capac adding Solar panels to the guns makes me feel Vindicated ! :)
Ok the H-Tram needs retiring and put in a museum display. It earnt that after not self imploding hitting the deck.
Then we'll get new stories from travellers about haunted museum pieces.
lol :D
Well, if anything, this should mean the H-Tram should be copied and printed for Capac. Then, he may have a fighter that lasts longer....🫢
@@paul_8472
lol "should" last longer, but Capac will ultimately find its design flaws been the stress test pilot he is.
"aren't the boulders gonna get sucked back up by the drills?"
Wow, Capac really is learning Space Engineers 😳
lol Only took him 8 years :D
Business card: "Capac Amaru...Space Mechanic" Motto: "There is no wrong way if you don't know the right way." Favorite four words: "Rules are for chumps!"
Accurate :D
Epic Skydiving after a ship crashing from orbit to make repairs. This is one of the greatest shows I've found even if he didn't make it in time.
Thanks so much :)
H-tram had side thrust the whole time... TFEEEEEE
Plus he could have been using that time to repair like Capac would have done if he'd caught up :P
Normally, Assertive Acquisitions is a mixture of explosions and silliness. This week gave us a genuinely nail-biting crash and recovery!
And still a better (b)romance than Twilight.
Splitsie: "How DO you feel about me, Capac?"
Capac: "Ambivilance!"
that weird miner demands a gravity gen on a rotor and hinge angled and spinning on top to create a giant tornado of stones around it
Lol if only the moon had less than 0.5g so I could do that, would be hilarious 😂
Its rather interesting the TFE just accepted that the H Tram was dead. Not even bothering to scavenge parts to attempt a midair repair. And then it survived planet fall intact.
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars
wow never knew the landingstilts of the Htram were so strong Tiffany is a genius for coming up with such an impeccable and intricate landing system
Pretty sure what actually broke his fall was the butt turret, as most of his stilts were projections at that point.
That's a pitiful scorpion tail... MAKE IT LONGER 🤣
I can see Splitsie setting up an Escape from Mars type adventure for the next few episode with how this one ended. All of a sudden the crew exits their Cryopods and finds themselves a prison ship or in a prison on the planet, the ship they stole all but parts now,. The Crew must Escape from Prison, and reclaim their Asteroid Base.
The Finglonger needs a beware of falling boulders sigh. That's the second death from falling boulders, in two separate scenarios no less. Congratulations on the 2 Assert large ions.
just a suggestion for the Finglonger... why not convert to have Saddle Bags... so Large Cargo containers, connected via connectors, but each container is only for a specific resource...
that way if either Capac or TFE or you create a ship capable of collecting what you need it means if you are short of Cobalt, you pick up that box, if you are short of only Iron.... and so on....
but each box has a welder to ensure once filled and disconnected it can build a new one that has the same uses to only fill, so you get not only the ingots from the haul, but also the resources from the cargo box
Arguably the team's best capture yet. Minimal damage, minimal loss of ships (probably going to find Capac's latest Rumble in the hands of the enemy at some point in the future) and only a few of lost clones during the boarding.
Gosh my heart, that near-death of the h-tram and dramatic revival was something ;-;
Bit sad we didn't get an after-action report on it this episode, nor saw its safe dock.
Also: Couldn't TFE put a second assault cannon on the bottom of The Scorpion to balance out the top one? :p
For Capac’s Shuttle he could fit some of the newer flat atmosphere thrusters underneath so he can lift off faster with heavier weight.
The “H” in H-Tram stands for “Haunted”
Always has and forever will
Agreed :D
Now steering a mining rover by spinning drills is certainly a somewhat unique thing! 😇🤪
I wonder what situation I could contrive to make that a thing :P
"..and plenty more to come and we will see you then.. catch you next time everybody.. bye~~" this always gets me trilled to watch the next episode in the series. keep it up guys
Thanks, glad you're enjoying our odd little adventures :D
Ok TFE, the H-tram survived the attack and falling to a planet. You have now unlocked the ability to use reactors for your build. 😆 🤣
lol :D
Glad the HTram survived, props to Capac for that rescue! TFE aka Tiffany seemed resigned to dying in a H2 explosion. That WHI ship is cool as looking
I think he was almost disappointed that he didn't :D
Love watching this series and the past ones! Funny how lost everyone is XD Sense of direction is very much missing a lot of the time XD
28:31 you know it’s bad when both splitsie and capac are saying something is a bad idea
You know, you might have a point :D
2:52 🎶Fly me to the Moon. Let me play among the stars.....🎶
Cool that the cargo ship, splitsie, and crew stayed put and waited for TFE and Capac to finish their first planetary exploration and get back for the epic boarding sequence.
I'd been watching Grand Tour earlier and felt like I would take a page out of their book and that it would all flow better in the video if I just ignored the actual time between things :D
Yay Capac is back. Okay, now to watch the episode
Wow, the lighting looks great in there now Splitsie! Whatever you did, kudos!
To be fair Splitsie, you tend to be a lot less aggressive in attacking, and quicker to run away. I think you need to make a cheap disposable fighter to do these capture runs. Use the Frenzy when you are in an escort or support roll, and the cheap one as a means to close in on large ships for capture (smash and grab style).
"Less aggressive and quicker to run away" you mean I fight with the intent to survive? :D
To be fair to Capac, I'm becoming suspicious that something else might be going on with his fighters such that he's been destroying his own cockpits. Will be interested to find out (in episode 82, since 81 has already been recorded) if I'm correct and if he'll be able to stay in the fight for longer
Great episode, rocks fell but it only caused one death. I was way surprised that the h tram didn’t become a billion pieces, props to capac for the rescue job.
I think TFE was surprised by the H-Tram's survival too - seemed he wanted to go down with his ship :D
I love how smooth TFE’s recording is. Is he the only one recording in 60fps?
I'm recording in 1440p60fps but I'm also hosting this nonsense so sometimes end up with 50 frames rather than a consistent 60
6:40 Y'know, if you found one with some decent rear thrusters (something of a challenge, most of the cargo ships are meant to coast) that probably would work to damage some of the bigger, more evasive ships. Alternatively you could just throw the whole Skywarp at them, I'm sure that would drive them away from the asteroid.
Some of the more decorative parts of the wheel section on the Finglonger are accessible from the ground, so you could get the steel plate off of those to bridge your way up if you needed to. You also might want to consider a folding ladder, because it's been low on subgrids ever since you redesigned it.
16:51 Deimos cameo
The snow patch the Finglonger leaves behind reminds me of how I used to drink ICEEs from the gas station store as a kid, where you'd poke holes in them with the straw once it started freezing up.
I don't know exactly how TFE fights with static weapons (though he seems to remain adament on handicapping himself with recoil), but I think a part of the reason the H-Tram has survived as long as it has is because the turrets do the majority of the fighting while TFE remains in third-person, keeping more aware of his surroundings and location. That, and the H-Tram is something of a relic to be preserved given its long survival in situations like this, whereas other ships - like Capac's Frenzy, this time around - are often just discarded. Not sure if that's also TFE's willingness to repair it which brings it back or not.
I believe the planetside outpost is the first we've seen of PARALLAX since the last major jump, though I could be wrong. Interested on if they come up as an obstacle in the ARC lore regarding the planet.
5 seconds in... CAPAC'S BACK! XD
So, I have a suggestion on how you could, in theory, get the Skywarp's airlocks to work properly.
I would suggest having a motion sensor built into each airlock, with it's detection range consisting of just the center space of the airlock, the exterior airlock door, and two to three blocks past the exterior door, with the sensor set to toggle the airlock's vent fan, so that the vent fan will depressurize the airlock when an engineer is present in the detection zone, and then pressurize the airlock once the zone is empty of engineers.
Of course, one major requirement for this possible system to work, would be for there to be a program set up to close the Skywarp's airlock doors after they've been open for a specified period of time. You may want to have two separate programs for doors on the Skywarp, one for engineer sized doors, and one for the larger hangar doors, each with different wait times before the doors close.
That crash landing was not as bad as everyone thought...
O.o cool idea Splitsie. have a projector build large storage containers on ship and auto attach to connector, fill it up with specified ore and auto drop off when full. Leave a trail of eggs behind.
with ~2k antennas broadcasting what ore is inside, for easy shopping
@@diazinth Lol, but Naw ... Easter is coming up.
Actually thats a good episode idea. have a robot carrier pick up ore from mining site and dropping the container at random places. have to hunt them down.
Youve got the patience of a saint, heh. Telling TFE to align the big guns as close to the center of mass as possible, only to come back and see literally the complete opposite has been done. At this point, Im assuming its intentional!
Hi splitsie i love your vids i have been watching you for the longest time now
Epic crash and recovery.
I'm pretty sure tiffany had all the stuff he needed to repair the H-tram.
Love that morning rover thing. Great design.
Thanks :)
That was the best team work. Capac saved the day.(unusual) F the transport get the boys home lol. TFE, Medal of Valor. I can't believe you guys saved it all.
I feel like TFE deserves the medal of 'I guess I just sit here instead of fixing things' but at least he took his captain's duty of going down with the ship seriously :P
I knew right away, Splitsie would run out of hydrogen, after seeing him floating around without a care in the world (-:
I didn't see it coming but was impressed that he made it up to the top before running out.
I love how at 28:07 nobody noticed that Capac had broken his arm and was doing a midair lunge.
I was worried about the fate of the H-tram more, than about my relationships
With the blue/yellow lights on the ends of the tunnel, now the entrances now need lights that blink in a way that is slightly offset to each other to guide ships into the tunnel, like they have in Sci-Fi films and on airport runways. Well, I guess that’d make you reach the max lighting limit a bit quickly though.
Yeah, unfortunately we're already kinda up against that limit (at least the ones for the point lights e.g. spotlights), which is a pity as those runway style lights can look really cool
TFE goes down with his ship 🙂
Capac did really well with the diagnosis and repair. Now, where have I seen a launch like that before?
Hi splitsie I love ur creations that's on the workshop and I'm currently using them in my single player and in my servers that I play in cause there so awesome and well designed so keep up the good work
Haha I've been binging sg1 for last few weeks ATM up to season 8 I got that bomb ref straight away nice splitsie haha
Wednesdays are special because AA. And now i am spending the next hour immerse in my favorite series. Thank you.
You know you’re fighter is a little questionable when even Capac has a reasonable argument about why it is unreasonable
lol :D
The RBLF’s attitude towards the Splitsie is politely jokingly adversarial. At least until he recognizes the Superiority of the Glorious Red Battery 😂
Long may it Power Us
Ohm Ohm Ohm…
I'm working on something I think you'll appreciate, no spoilers though ;)
The Schnozz is no longer really a Schnozz... it's more like a baby Narwhal...
2:47 and let me play among the stars?
Everyone seems to love the banderite color combination...
I'll admit I lean towards brighter or more visible colour schemes and have been trying to push TFE that way. Building too dark just makes it so hard for anyone to see what's going on, but maybe the orange neon is taking that a bit too far :D
I kinda hope that you capture a mining and refining system on that asteroid.
You know your build is bad when even capac tells you to make it decorative and put your functional ones lower
So, it would appear that Capac is a fellow member of the "Ambivalence is bliss!" creed 😂 - Not that we're ambivalent to ZMP series - we wouldn't be watching, otherwise!
I was wondering how long it was going to be before someone got brained by ejecta from the Finglonger.
Another good capture / skirmish and a surprisingly exciting SAR of the H-Tram - Good job again, ZMP and associates 🍻
I think I got complacent due to not being harmed while standing at the helm, forgetting of course that I'm effectively a ship block when in that position so am immune - not as immune while standing on the drills :D
You know, I feel like retro fitting the Cargo transport into a cargo carrier for the Finglonger might be a good idea. Might be a bit expensive on the ice, but having a dedicated cargo ship might be a good plan.
I think you should build a heavy small grid fighter. Something that can be used for attacking large ships. Since its seems that the hardest to fight ASSERT / ICON fighters, are pretty large. Like, have 10 gatlings and 4 assualt cannons. Especially since you don't need to worry about fitting in the SkyWarp, I feel like the Scorpion could be quite a bit larger, as it isn't really utilising the fact that there arent size constraints on it.
To TFE’s point about gameplay reasons not to make every build do everything, there’s a very big reason. A specialized build will always do its job better. You can kinda see it with the SkyWarp; it’s a hybrid battleship/carrier. It does its job alright, but you’ve had to make sacrifices in the design that a full battleship or carrier wouldn’t have done. It’s still a good ship, but it doesn’t have the fields of fire that a battleship would (there would be artillery turrets where the hangars are), and it doesn’t have the hangar space (and drone fighters) of a full carrier. As a challenge, you might consider a future series where you define a role for a vehicle and specialize it to that role, instead of having it do a little of everything.
While that's true, we could simply make the SkyWarp larger to fit those guns and be able to squash most of the enemies we'd run across. Of course you can always add worse enemies, but I think TFE's general point is valid in that there's too limited a downside to adding extra functionality that the temptation to do so often gets the better of you
@@Splitsie But then you could use that extra space to add more guns or hangars to the specialized version. I get what TFE is saying, but the downside is the same thing real life militaries have faced; if you try to build a plane, tank, or ship that can do everything, it turns out to also not be spectacular at anything. Maybe it’s just a fundamental difference in thought processes, but that alone is enough of a downside that I don’t really have the temptation to try to do everything with a single grid.
I would have added the ejectors on the drills so the unwanted materials don't have far to drop.
Skipped forward 30 episodes, skipped 30 seconds, I see the Purple Menace is still there, I am relieved.
Time to go back and watch TFE's pride
...or upgrade my starter miner (2x hydrogen, 4 small tanks, on the moon, 2 drill heads)
Surprised he can't just fix his fuel line for his engine. BAIL OUT, BAIL OUT.
I was a little surprised TFE didn't at least try to fix it while plummeting toward the planet :P
@@Splitsie Pleasantly surprised the ship didn't evaporate, even popped right back in the air/space.
I wonder if it would be possible to make massive concertina doors for either end of the hanger tunnel?
Poor Rumble, it knew only a short life. Like all those that came before it.
I might be working on something to make the next Rumble last a little bit longer, will have to see how long that holds true in the hands of Capac :P
there really should be a way to change the skin of those thrusters. that way you dont get a bunch of thrusters you dont want to use cause they dont look right. either a paint tool type mod, blueprint type mod, or fully custom components that dont grind to scrap but cant be broken down in an assembler.
Let’s go new video❤
The scorpion might do backflips whenever it fires the big gun 😂
And as for catapulting ships at enemy bases, that has far less plausible deniability than if you emulate the Bugs from Starship Troopers, however they don't need to know that the giant "meteor" is hollow and crammed full of high explosives and/or heavy mass material so it does maximum impact.
"Oh no!, your base was annihilated by a meteor, so anyways" 🤣
Hello Splitsie, Capac & TFE :) always a pleasure watching you playing, i'm rewatching the AA Series for the third times, i love it, and basically all of your series. :D
I have a quick question tho, i have a solo game where i chill where i basically have all the mods this series have ... My question is about MES i think and the drone attacking you early with TFE on the moon. My mods seems to be working fine, i have multiples planetary cargoships and stuff that flies that spawn but they are "passive" unless i get to shooting range, i have a few planetary base spawn (apparently only "ASSERT research base" for now) but if i get closer to those (and i mean shooting range) then i get attacked but I NEVER get attacked from drones attacking my base like you and TFE seems to have early in the series ... Could you point me toward a explanation/solution to that ? or am i missing something ?
Keep up the good work you are all awesome !
Capac is a gem, did you know?
I didn't realise Obstinate was a gemstone - but now that I say it out loud it kinda almost sounds like one :D
TFE didn't even thank Capac after his daring rescue. And then like 2 minutes later tried to eject his cryopod into space😢
that's how you get rid of witnesses
I like how the plan was for Capac to cannibalize his own ship to bring parts to TFE to repair the conveyor line, yet it never crossed anyone's minds to have TFE cannibalize his OWN ship for the same purpose. Might lose a turret or thruster or two, but better than the whole ship...
It was a bit odd how resigned TFE was to his situation, I was a little distracted at the time as I was picking off drones and turrets trying to get the WHI ship ready for boarding :P
Think TFE just wants to build a new ship mayhaps
Nice team work from TFE and Capac, engineered the solution. Would a blast shield be of use for protecting the asteroid base contents? Hinge/rotor to raise a large area of blast door blocks in case of attack. It would be open during normal circumstances but potentially closed if you come under attack from the far end of the asteroid?
It might be, but the main issue is that the floor and ceiling don't align to the grid of the base, so I need to level out the cavern to be able to have it lie flat or we'd need to cut into the walls to nest something in there. I'm slowly working on leveling the floor though :)
Remember the scale of the drill rig, that's the scale they would need for the doors...
It could be cool if they worked multi part ones but idk
@@SplitsieThe leveling thing at its current approach is a joke. You like overengineering. We like you doing overengineering. You can do better than that. ;)
On a "completely unrelated" note: Blueprint of 50x50 light armor blocks is something everybody should have. Especially when building large floors.
I've got a question for you Splitsie or anyone who can help. I have a large grid ship with torpedo tubes capable of printing small grid torpedoes with the help of a small subgrid to connect the conveyor system to the torpedo to fuel it before launch. I was thinking it would be nice to also make a printable recon drone that you can control remotely from the large ship. But that would require an antenna on the large ship, and a large grid antenna is simply too big and ugly to fit. I got the idea to put a small grid antenna on the small subgrid in the torpedo tube and control the drone that way somehow. Is that possible. Can't test it myself currently so I'm wondering if it's worth trying later.
Um... Maybe I missed it, but where did the H-tram go? I didn't see it's beacon on the return to the Donut base... Can you also find the Rumble? Considering the H-Tram's 'catastrophic' landing was a... Donk... Maybe the Rumble survived as well?
The H tram made it back, I just edited out a lot of waiting for TFE and Capac to finally get there because TFE took forever to secure it :D
The trouble with the rumble is that it's out of power, so we have no way to really spot it unless we fly very close to it, but it certainly could be down there somewhere
And the h-tram lives
By some miracle :P
We need refineries per ore, then it doesn't get stuck doing the slow ore's
55:35 Capac's backpack stuck to the ship due to forward thrust. 😅
lol :D
Would still loved to see a atmospheric miner with the name of mole five drills in star shape to fly underground and chew your way through the deposits. Also would a drone even work? your missiles stoped calculationg becaus server said to much load ignore the small stuff.
32:25 survive 5 battles to unlock the reactor upgrade
lol Sounds reasonable :D
well, now you need light\paint lines inside the tunnel base as a reminder of the direction like giant colored arrows , so you don't need to go in the tunnel and look for the lighting , but already know the direction .
too much ? too much .
How and When did you find so many resources so close together? I can only ever find up to 3 resources within about 150 meters. But you found all of them!
Maaaan, I caught up.
Handy that a new one will come out in about 5 hours then ;)
This is my favorite series that you guys do but the episodes are too sort. I feel disappointed when the episodes end haha.
You see TFE if you had wanted to kill it you should've made it slam face first into the ground, destroying the helm. Though... I guess he hoped for the tank to go boom.
I appreciate all the camera angels that you used to hide it, (lol) but are not your rocks being ejected back into the hole?
Yup, I'm totally that devious and sneaky and definitely hiding that the rocks nearly all get deleted before they reach the bottom of the hole... 🤨
@@Splitsie you madman
@@SplitsieThats right, you just remember 'we are watching you' hehe
o7 to the H-Tram, current longest serving vessel of the ...oh. Huh.
Of course, the H-Tram getting its fuel lines cut is nothing new. How has that thing survived so long? It's got some decent plot armor (adlib armor?).
I think its little legs keep making the game confused on impacts so it somehow survives more intact than you'd naturally expect :P
Every time the view zooms in on Capac or TFE I don't know whether to expect explosion or if it's just because what you were doing at the time wasn't particularly interesting
It's usually one of those. The way I edit these I use my POV as 'default' then switch to one of the others when I feel like it's more interesting. Since I do more than 50% of the talking though, it's also got to follow the conversation or otherwise make sense to do the switch :)
