Tried making a large-grid warship. This is literally the smallest possible design I could come up with. It has only one single weapon, and is over twice the weight of my small-grid warship with way, way more armament, and has the same delta-V and twice the fuel usage.
Dolly's attempt at a large-grid warship. It's literally the absolute minimal setup of cockpit, gyro and thrusters strapped to one single rocket launcher and a docking connector. It is gargantuan despite being composed of only 22 parts.

This is what I have to deal with.
Picture of Dolly's mining ship flying through an extremely narrow and long tunnel, only just barely wide enough for the ship to fit through. There is zero room to rotate the ship.

I may not like it, but I suppose this is what peak performance looks like.

(The numerical stats on this thing are genuinely fucking good.)
Side view of Dolly's mining ship, showing that it truly is the absolute bare minimum. No armor, no external support structure, just cockpit, drills, cargo, fuel tank, engines, all directly connected together with as few conveyor pieces as possible. The reverse thruster is awkwardly mounted on a curved conveyor, sending the flame directly towards the cockpit. A sorter-ejector setup is crudely welded onto the back.

You know what it's fucking ugly but I tested it and it works.

Good enough.
Picture of Dolly's mining ship, the drills are mounted with weird corner pieces, making them look like arms held forward at a 90 degree angle, as if striking a boxing pose. The rear of the ship is only slightly less of a mess, with six large thrusters mounted in the most utilitarian way possible. It looks like it would only just barely fit through the hole it might dig.

I figured if I'm gonna ride a space bike, it really should look the part.
Space Engineers screenshot showing Dolly's space bike, effectively a saddle with six rockets and some fuel tanks welded to it, but the entire assembly is now painted black with very sci-fi looking intense red glowing decals. It looks very tacky but in a good way.

This is genuinely exciting, I didn't think it'd feel so special!
Front camera view of the ship flying very low above the lunar surface, flying extremely fast just above the terrain.

This is still the Lost Colony scenario. I'm about to land on the Moon.
Space Engineers screenshot, Dolly is approaching the Moon in a very small ship.

I made a thing! Be proud of me!
Space Engineers screenshot, showing Dolly flying an extremely tiny "ship" that is barely larger than Dolly is. It's a "flying platform" design with Dolly standing on top, extremely similar to the VZ-1 Pawnee or Williams X-Jet.

I hate that this is actually making me thirsty. Now I have to get up to get a drink, and that's very hard to do on skates!
Multiple cans of Clang Kola on a counter. They are extremely similar in style to another more popular brand that shall not be named.

It is really really funny to me that I can say I have 3.6 gallons of knowledge in this game.
Cropped Space Engineers screenshot, showing an inset bookshelf with a lot of datapads. The total mass and volume are listed at the top, showing 6.8 kilograms and 13.6 liters of datapads, respectively.

I was playing Lost Colony but decided to take a little vacation by flying up into space. It's pretty.

I stole another ship~

Also gave my WIP sniper ship the same treatment to see how that looks.
A much smaller warship, painted in the same black color scheme, with far fewer exposed yellow conveyor ports. It still has a massive engine for its tiny size, and a single very long assault cannon mounted to the side. The rest of the ship is the same size as its cockpit.

@shadowanarcho.bsky.social Here's an attempt!
Space Engineers screenshot, showing Dolly's small warship, painted almost entirely black, with exposed conveyor ports adding yellow accents all around the ship. The engine nacelles have yellow rings around them. Four storage barrels welded to the hull also have black and yellow hazard markings. The ship has a Y-shaped configuration, with two massive engines at the back, tapering into a narrow cockpit and six autocannons at the front.

Amazingly, I was able to repair this thing enough to be able to fly it on its own power! All my worries about how I am supposed to tow it are over!
Dolly is flying the big privateer ship from yesterday. Smoke is billowing out from multiple places.

Just for context, here's the ship I captured (blue), and my own ship that I captured it with (purple).

I think I deserve to be really damn proud of myself for this!!
Two warships floating next to eachother, in low Earth orbit. Dolly's light warship, painted purple, has no armor at all and is extremely tiny even by small grid fighter standards. The big blue privateer ship is a large grid ship and is well over four times its length. A single one of its guns is over half the size of Dolly's ship.

I uh..... I stole this. It kept destroying my ship, so I jumped out and dodged its fire with the spacesuit jetpack, tore open the hull, and disabled its AI controls. I can't fucking believe this gigantic thing is mine now. What do I even do with this????
Space Engineers screenshot, a very, very, very large warship takes up most of the screen, with a big railgun prominently visible.

"Hmmm, shipyard's too dark, I know how to fix that!"

I'm not sure this is better.
Space Engineers screenshot, showing the cockpit view of a ship parked at a shipyard, with very, very, very bright floodlights shining into the cockpit. A large chunk of the screen is entirely swamped out by the lights.

Pretty game.
Space Engineers screenshot, showing the view inside a fighter cockpit. The Earth-like planet is extremely close by, taking up almost half the view. It looks welcoming.

Different angle but I got back into my ship because scary.
Different angle of the same location. Dolly's ship is parked on top of a very large yellow ship, high above Triton. It is the same ship you spawn in when you start the scenario, as well as the ship that drops you off on Triton with your truck.

I love that every "cutscene" is actually just in-world so you can fly up to the respawn ship and land on it! Scary to be walking outside of my ship in space, because jetpack is disabled, so if I fall off, I'm screwed.
Space Engineers screenshot, showing Dolly standing on top of the exterior of the Frostbite spawn ship, with Triton seen in the background, and Dolly's ship parked on top of the large hull.

There was a military recruitment poster here so I uhhhhhh.... fixed it.

Went and completed Frostbite a second time with the alternate ending, and now took a victory lap by flying to space~
Space Engineers screenshot showing Dolly in orbit around Triton in a small and very rusty warship. The ship has two big engine nacelles at the back and six autocannons at the front, a very "hit and run" design.

Eclipse except it's Mars blocking out the Sun because I just took off from the Moon.
Space Engineers screenshot, showing an eclipse in progress, with Mars being not quite big enough to completely block out the Sun.

Yes this is a subgrid on a subgrid on a subgrid of a mobile ship.

Yes it is vibrating exactly as much as you think it is.

Putting a camera on it with a custom turret controller has been a regrettable experience.
Space Engineers screenshot showing a mining drill, attached to a piston, attached to a hinge, attached to a rotor, attached to a long conveyor pipe coming out of a big ship. The drill has dug some very ugly holes into the ice below.
