Since that question always comes up, the grey background is a depth based greenscreen filter from reshade. There's a tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/NHZUNGNXImY/w-d-xo.html It can do way more than just that though if you install all the filters.
it only looks so complicated because nobody ever builds the ship around the conveyor system, you do it as you go. so whenever it's revealed from the finished design it looks like spaghetti
Another amazing design, and I LOVE how you show the process, really helps to understand your design process and thoughts, + I cannot build anything like this also your interiors are great too! keep it up love these vids!
Wow man, this design is great! I like the parts on the top you added to create armor, along with the wing design in the back. (Also want to gives props to the front design, I always get stuck on that)
As always amazing work and the evolution from first to final interesting to watch. The quad small thruster clusters under the rear wing with the spotlight in the middle is an awesome look.
There is no specific inspiration for this build. I just started building a bunch of prototypes. You can see that the entire shape is pretty much dictated by the first 3 steps and it takes maybe a minute or two to get there, so I just built these super basic prototypes until I had one that looked decent. I probably throw away 80 % of these prototypes, you just see only the nice ones.
Yesss!!! I was waiting for the day when you'd design a ship with a jump drive, an assembler and a refinery all in one! Thank you soooo much!!! I love all of your designs and this one was something that was "missing" in your awesome collection!!! The Cepheus collection is definitely one of the best in the workshop and definitely one of my favourites!!! (Building in survival multiplayer in 3...2...) :D
I bought this game all the way back in 2015 and played just a few hours, and then never came back. I randomly found your videos and it's inspired me to go back and play the game again, your constructions looks so cool and I can't believe the developers have still been working on it!
I always desperately avoid starting with a brick because i have a hard time building out from there, so i tend to make odd shapes to start, then expand from there.
Wow. Im still a tad bit new to creating fancy ships in space engineers, and this is at definitely a bit inspirational. I will never be able to copy this process, but I can say it is impressive. Good job!
I don’t make ships normally I make a conveyor skeleton of a ship and build around it adding detail and helps me figure out what I could add and what isn’t necessary
lol... we just printed this ship for a guy in the faction and for no reason the algorythm recommends it to me. The ship is cool but not very printable, at least from back to front.
Because I think that design should come first before function, since it's hard for conveyors etc. to dictate a shape on which you design a ship. At least in my opinion
Thanks for making that video! It's exactly what I needed. I like your method. Don't worry about the interior, it's perfect to me, an estethic, compact and functional survival-friendly ship that is not full of useless rooms for roleplay purposes. It's big enough to be fun, small enough to be parked in the hangar of a carrier. I'll go check your other videos to see if you made anything else like this.
This video is giving me some major inspiration. I can never figure out where to start building a ship or what to do, I always end up making a brick, meanwhile you start with a brick and make it look good. I've finally realized what I need to do, thanks to you. Use brick to get basic size, add extra parts to define shape, add more little details over time, then start adding in systems. Thank you for this!
This method of starting with a hunk of armor and forming it and adding to it like clay is really smart, I usually start with the internals. I really like the shaders, too.
Mate you are a master at what you do i love the builds cant wait for the next one and have you ever thought of building a ship that's meant for PVP like some of yours can if you tweak them a bit but what about a full on Warship? Respect from Downunder :)
You should post the world files for these ship showcases to the steam workshop. I would certainly enjoy the chance to look at them from angles you didn't show, and look at them in more detail.
That's pretty much how I usually build aswell, yeah. It's makes it easy to do some "risky" changes, cause you can always just go back to the last version.
What is the Grey background in your videos and workshop items? is it a world? Because it looks like it would be fantastic for building as you don't have to worry about the light from the sun and stuff.
I could never make my own SE ship. Tried my best with the MCS James MacAllan from Titanfall, but couldn't even get a quarter of the way through with it. Should've made something smaller.

can u post your reshade depth settings ive been trying to replicate your screen for hours now but cant quite get the same smoothness
my screen is cast with this dark shadow and the light values dont stay consistent like yours
@@jay-reezy3952 Not really sure what you mean, but I uploaded my preset now, maybe that helps you: sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/11566/
@@MajorJon finally got it to work just had to watch a couple of extra tutorials thx for all the help =D
That conveyor system looks like spaghetti, never understood how people can make stuff in this game, you’re so good
Yeah I feel the same.
it only looks so complicated because nobody ever builds the ship around the conveyor system, you do it as you go. so whenever it's revealed from the finished design it looks like spaghetti
@@Black-vo2tv I've always built my ship around my systems.
And the ships always turn out looking terrible.
so that's funny.
@@Gxaps somewhat subjective in my opinion, e.g. the expanse. All ships are built around internals (I think??)
@@entofw2650 I mean, I don't see how it's subjective if I think my own ships look terrible.
I’ve had this game for 7 years and you make me feel like a clown every time you upload. Well done, I guess!
Same lmao
What my ship looks like when I start building: 0:08
What it looks like when I finish building: 0:08
Same here 😂
teh good ol' brick
3:51 nah bro the blue one looks great. Your standards are too high
Although that only leads to top notch ships, so...
Love these videos! They're a huge inspiration when it comes to designing ships.
Me: I started out in the shape of a brick. After days of welding and grinding I ended up with an even bigger brick with thrusters in all directions.
2:45 “it’s not very big but it does the job” me looking at my single large ship which is just a tube

cool
how do you fit the interiors? i always start building from inside out.
As always amazing work and the evolution from first to final interesting to watch. The quad small thruster clusters under the rear wing with the spotlight in the middle is an awesome look.
I just wanted to ask how you come up with designs for ships like these. Where do you take inspiration from? Besides that, great video as always.

Great video Major. I really appreciate the effort you take to show how you build a ship and how it evolves.

Meanwhile, I'm still flying bricks--
size bloc missing, (example: 12x3x2) it's hard to build without
I don’t make ships normally

This is huge compared to my ships, though i only really do corvettes 🤔
I like how you show the steps of your builds. I always get stumped at the start not knowing where to go. Im gonna try how you build :D
Love this video. You should make more like this.
how much time do you spend on ships on average?
How do you get inside the walls and map out conveyors?
Can you fly the skeletons without all the hull blocks. Or do they fall apart when you try?
if its cool with you id like to make a design similar to yours (i dont really upload stuff to the work shop
my ships usealy look like big flying bricks
Hey man I want to show you my work. Let's find each other in the game
always reminds me of robocraft
so is this just ksp but better?
It looks so amazing.
Blue kind of worked for it
I will never understand how people build the hull, then the systems instead of the other way around
They think the Hull is the most important part
Because I think that design should come first before function, since it's hard for conveyors etc. to dictate a shape on which you design a ship. At least in my opinion

I've always built ships inside out, but this approach seems to be pretty interesting, gonna give it a try. Curving out a ship inside a blob of steel.

Thanks for sharing your building process! It's especially helpful since you make really good ships
I really like your design process. Most of my ships I start with the inside and work my way out.
These videos are absolutely amazing dude

wow this is actually amazing showcase o_o
great work btw!
Legoo🤣🤣🤣!!!👍
can you post the other colour tests i like those compared to the final design but i know you chose the one you prefered
use blender
realy nice
Looks nice but not something I'd want to fight in
how
It always amazes me how people can fit so much in such a cool desing,
Subbed to mod, awesome ship designs.
Love these... thanks for posting another!
Do you also build the way shown here, regularly copying the ship and then working on the copy or do you just do that for the videos?
That's pretty much how I usually build aswell, yeah. It's makes it easy to do some "risky" changes, cause you can always just go back to the last version.
That's some really tasty spaghetti
What is the Grey background in your videos and workshop items? is it a world? Because it looks like it would be fantastic for building as you don't have to worry about the light from the sun and stuff.
Check the pinned comment ^^
On console I just use the mod that makes it grey skybox
Really like this design.
Nice evolution major
Woah thats nice
Excellent !
