hoo boy I think I will be facing them a lot soon, this will be fun. good work spud. (edit: to make things clearer I am part of FCN, and we kill a lot of ships so it will be nice seeing actually good designs lol)
Yeah same, the reason I don't play anymore is it's just not built for the more realistic, long range kind of ship play that I want, but this server does come close.
@@romain5967 We have 16km torpedos and players can kite other ships trying to stay in torpedo range only - but at the end of the day this is still SE at its core the engine can only handle so much
@@alphamatte4259 yeah exactly, engines just not built for it, also i really don't like weapons core lol, what i really want is verging on DCS level realism and interactivity.

The biggest two things are this - your main drives can only point one way (enforced with a custom plugin on server), and your weapons must be 2 blocks away from another weapon (enforced with a custom plugin on server). Other than that it’s just like normal SE.
@@BentleyPoseluzny with the rockhopper you just got to make it for a little bit sell some stuff and buy some better ships and minners and you be more set, I mean if you are still in the starter ship after a week I think you doing something wrong XD
I can't help but think, there must be still be a ugly meta setup out in Draconis Expanse. Like maybe a ship crammed full of torps, for a one hundred torp alpha strike, released 1 per frame on opposite side so the PD have a hard time turning to engage.
ive literally had this argument with someone with 12k hours in se they thought bricks with guns were significantly better then any ships that look nice i got some really good designs from my friend royalwaffles heard he was banned from being adick which i can tell is true lol

Also "Castila System" is mentioned in the Expanse books which is where we pulled the name from. I've never played Star Citizen and don't really care about it at all.
@@RobertP-zk8vh There isn't a single logo from star citizen that majorly resembles the logo seen in the video what are you talking about? Can you elaborate on what logo you are even talking about specifically?
Well, these look great, from the cokor to the lighting to the layout.
I think so too!
Id love to see these things as npc's in the ring system, they go great with the planets color scheme.
These ships are too dangerous to be NPCs
Props to spud, those are some nice lookin ships!
And they’re super good in combat!

Yeah spud killed it on these
Awesome editing! Getting better and better with each video :p
Thanks! 😁
the ships look like a nice blend of the expanse and halo cruisers
That seems accurate
Nice, keep the videos coming 😂
More to come!
Nice job Spud!
He is a really great builder
great video, appreciate the hard work u do on these!
Glad you like them!
I love your ship showcases
Glad you like them!
Cool, stuff thx for the vid
Although I am not gonna be using them myself, would be nice to get a closer look and maybe learn a few things!
That’s partially the reason Spud made them!
Looks wonderful. Are you using any visual mods?
I use the rendering improved skybox
Spooky... Will we get to see Castilla as a ring world in game or is it just for lore purposes? Love the ships spud, keep it up.
Just for lore… for now
Very UNSC and I like it
Every time I see you upload it makes me want to redownload Space engineers. Maybe in a few more months….. sigh

Do you have a video that explains all the differences from a normal SE server, and the unique building process?

@@alphamatte4259 Oh cool. Thank you so much for the reply. c:
Love me a good spud ship
The best
Some good looking Ships but I don't remember there being coil guns in the expanse?
Coil guns are just the word we use for light/early model railguns
Is "Castilia" from the later books?
It’s mentioned once or twice in the books but it’s never expanded upon
Can you guys update the starter ship please shes not awful but still
It’s as good as most server starter ships from what I’ve seen 🤷♂️
@alphamatte4259 fair I just hate how big and bulky they are but still better than most

Could anyone link the modpack? I want to play around with some ship ideas before I start on the server.
It’s in the discord

I doubt those are "meta" the server is just full of role-players who have no idea how to pvp
