Space Engineers Supporter Server - The Next Phase!
🕑 Added 2021-02-05 16:54:27 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
It's that time of year again where we talk about updating the current Space Engineers Supporter Server. We've been playing on this iteration for some time now, and hopefully, you've all had fun with it, but now I think it's time to change it up a bit, especially as we're well underway into the new year of 2021.
To make this change, I'm going to need your feedback on what to do, so get those creative minds to good use, as we really want to create a fun scenario and environment for you to play in.
The Theme:
I've been trying to think of a theme for this next part of the supporter server and can't really develop one right now, likely because I'm juggling writing the next two series aka Frontier and the unannounced one (spoilers :P ).
What are everyone's thoughts on a Water World setup? Would people find that interesting for a change? Even if it was a shorter Supporter Server iteration. For example, we do water for 2-3 months then switch it up to something new. Let me know what you think.
I've spoken with Chris, Reece and the Admins and it's something we can certainly attempt pulling off. Plus i think it would be rather fun and unique, imagine the in-game events we could do...
The Mods:
Mods as usual require some thought and usually go hand in hand with the theme. Therefore we're open to your suggestions on this one. Obviously, massive game-breaking mods may not work, but i know some like the "Industrial Overhaul" have recently taken the spotlight here on the Space Engineers Workshop, perhaps that is something to think about!
We'll likely include WeaponCore as per, given that's the default weapon system handling right now. But perhaps we can spice up the combat selection with some energy-based weapons and such? I'm thinking boats, if we go with the water mod, with giant laser rail guns would be kinda funny... reminds me of that weird "Battleship Movie".
Conclusion:
The choice is yours! I'm going to leave Theme & Mod suggestions to you, as myself and the Community Team would really like to build something that you are all going to find vibrant and exciting.
PLEASE provide your feedback via the comments on this post, and of course, you're welcome to discuss on the Discord Server where we'll get involved in your discussions as well. Looking forward to chatting with you all on this subject and seeing what we can do.
- Jack

oh definitely, plus i think the water mod that's planned to be used is designed to work with Plane Parts and Deadly Re-entry's atmospheric physics, so hinged rudders can be a thing.

I really would like to see the plane parts mod for extra aesthetics. https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=837058476

water world sounds interesting, would we be confirmed to just one planet?
water mod, Northwind weapons and MWI homing missile mod? maybe have some custom SPRT Points Of Interest (POIs) like Oil Rigs, Dockyards, etc for PvPvE raiding? Either way, i'm looking forward to the next iteration :D

The water planet mod sounds like it could be lots of fun :) And adding the energy weapons, yes i can see the parallel for the 'Battleship' movie. That would be awesome I think. :D
