    do people multicrew on that server? obviously it wouldn't be to manually aim pdcs but are there people looking for crews? I love the expanse and space engineers but im always weary of joining servers, but id be very happy to just help crew even if im relegated to mining or dc/repair.

    • @alphamatte4259
      @alphamatte4259  ปีที่แล้ว +9

      People don’t usually multi crew but there are large factions that recruit players. For example when scrapping enemy ships I’ve seen 4-5 players all buzzing around with grinders stripping everything valuable while one person flys a grinding skiff for the big stuff.

    Awesome video. I've been watching a lot of your more recent videos and really getting hyped about jumping back into SE. I love that the server has NPCs you can hunt for tech, it makes material gathering meaningful. Had a couple of questions. How active is the server on a regular basis, is it mostly nights and weekends? Are you able to build your own ships in creative and project them on the server? One of my favorite things is ship/base design on this game.

    Minor issue; the PDCs in the book are nothing like the ones in the show. Rather than being rotary canons they are single barreled tubes that fire Teflon coated slugs incredibly fast; they're only rotary canons in the show because that looks cooler. You can block the tube of a PDC with the palm of your hand they're so small in diameter.

    Im a bit curious since it seems kinda like the belter stuff is < core, are they limited to players on those factions and if so why would people play as belters if its basically guaranteed they go into all combat at a disadvantage?
    As a outsider it just kinda seems like: "Team Blue has better stuff than team Red"
    so how does that work?

    • @alphamatte4259
      @alphamatte4259  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So - on this server ALL players start as belters, and then like Ashford in the books and lore they have to salvage better weapons off of MCRN and UNN NPCs. No one can "start" the server as MCRN or UNN at all.

      @@alphamatte4259 I just think that spam of blocks is boring. So... I play another game for that interesting expanse style torpedo gameplay - nebulous Fleet command. I wanted something like that in SE - not simple spam strategy, and for that we need to have access to make own torps

      @@MENTOR_PICTURES Nebulous fleet command is a great game! Again with the torps it comes down to cost analysis on server - a 16 torpedo barage is 160mil credits in game. Which takes time to get.
      If you are talking about creative sure spam will always win. But the weapons on-server are meant to work hand in hand with the economy.
