I actually absolutely love orbital cannons, the thought of high-powered ordinance so high in the sky it's like god just said, "Die" and explodes an area. It's so scarily amazing! This was very cool to me. (Also he took the hard route at sustaining height, which is rather than using the hot air balloon blocks. Though it's best to have those mods that let you input a custom value for that.)
this looks cool as hell (especially the stabilizing wheels), and the slow movement just adds to its ominous vibes. also love the aiming system. one of my favourites on this channel
Creatively killing, killing creatively. State sponsored mass murder war crimes of the gray Knights standing at the little castle. Bodies unrecognizable after defilement by Reid captains obviously secret communist global order leanings. 🤤
It’s complete overkill/pointless to make such a big airship in real life. Much easier and more practical to patrol the skies with fighter jets and helicopters, which they already do.
A note on your original ballista, my guess as to why the bolt wouldn't fly correctly is that the center of mass was too far back. You want the center of mass of an arrow/bolt to be pretty much as far in front of the center of pressure as possible, which is my guess as to why the first bolt design almost worked but had some inconsistencies under high load. If you think about it, you want the air resistance to be a self correcting force, so you want those fletchings to be behind the center of mass so the more your bolt deviates from head on the more force is correcting it. I think that a weight in the point and less weight back by the fletchings would make it way more accurate and consistent. Would love to see a ballista with a sight or maybe a full bow from you at some point.
the uploads just keep comming!! thanks for that :D maybe try to make historically accurate weird contraptions ;) would love to see some of the old failed prototypes in this game (like scrapman)
16:30 You are tending to your crops as a medieval farmer, much like any other day. You suddenly look up into the sky, and just see the embodiment of death.
i saw the the thumbmail of the video and i thought "omg the missile is gigantic! (in my imagination the red alian thing was a missile) Good work! love the content
A "messing around with bombs n stuff in Besiege" might be fun, like instead of building something just do a bunch of experimenting like seeing how many bombs you can explode at once before the game crashes. Would be even more fun if it was a livestream, chat always has some very entertaining (and usually explosive) ideas.
Loved the video @Reid Captain! Can't wait for the next video man! Next Idea: Build a Douglas A-20G Havoc Medium Bomber in Beseige (Day 2 or 3). Would love to see an A-20G Havoc making Gun Runs and Skip Bombing Middle Age Era Villages like they were Japanese Supply Ships!
The oscillations most likely stemmed from the not-so-rigid connection with a structure so large, alongside that besiege hates having too much mass on a block that is too light, so it starts spazzing out.
I'm nearly confident that two rings spinning in opposite directions has zero angular momentum and therefore is not actually adding any passive stabalization.
If you have counter-rotating wheels, it also counters out the gyroscopic effect. Though one trick I've used (in RigidChips) is to have them counter-rotating while they spin up, but then eject the wheels spinning one way, so it's left spinning only the other way.
Ive been waiting to see something like this for a while and I got an idea have you made a railgun in this game yet if you have that's fine if you haven't since railguns in real life are usually powered by magnets you could try it with vacuum
Also, having different conical angles on your reaction wheels means they have different moments of inertia, which is why they don't cancel out. They need to be identical to cancel out everything. Obviously minor perturbations will make it non perfect as well.
I would have loved to see this, but with momentum based projectiles like they actually would use (as in using the hieght of the machine to turn regular steel rods into devastating projectiles)
Would you ever consider playing a different genre of games? I personally would love to see your spin on some games like City Skylines or some old SIMs or rollercoaster tycoon games. Some ideas like making the most efficient cities at any cost (and applying CS ideas like tileable cells and graph theory to manage traffic). Im sure a big part of your audience would find that interesting, and it's definitely a unique concept!
I've watched a few of your videos now, I like your content. I've always thought you sounded familiar, and this episode, it struck me - you sound a lot like NileRed. Actually, it's almost identical sometimes.
I would've love a Mach 20 million big ahbomb barrelling towards the enemy but this is also pretty good and like light-years better than anything I could ever do.
I can’t imagine what kind of strange mechanical contraption Reid would make if he actually lived during medieval/renaissance times, just casually torment the passersby’s below.
you've inspired me to return to space engineers. i now want to waste a month of my life trying to once again complete the nauvoo from the expanse. yay me
Yeah it is a cannon so it had to actually launch the payload, but just mass dropping a load of missiles or one big scatter missile with a main warhead would have been loads of fun too
As an idea,you could make a big wheel landship that could resemble the ,,big wheel machine-1914" concept and maybe add a howitzer on it,for long range egagements

After much teasing, it is finally here! Would you guys rather see me make a VTOL in Besiege or a machine gun in Poly Bridge?
both ;)
a machine gun in poly bridge would be interesting, i'm up for it!
VTOL
Both or VTOL.
VTOL would be cool
what mods do you use?
Just imagine being a peasant in medieval times and out of nowhere a ramdom dude straight up comes with an orbital canon
Welcome to sandbox games
More likely, an Alien Super weapon.
Ugh. Honey! Theres *another* Orbital Cannon outside! Get into the bunker.
Reid Captian would be the most feared man in history 👀
@@Solegate Or just burned at the stake
Developers: lest's make a game where you can build medieval times machines to destroy camps.
TH-camrs: So we are gonna build an orbital cannon
accurate
You should create a shotgun in Kerbal Space Program. I think that would be cool.
And it shoots austronauts
@@TARDISES i tried it and yes, it is indeed a kraken drive.

Rods From God
I have to say the rings from halo are super scary if u aren't a fan I'd recommend looking into their lore
@@Bos_Sentinel Oh I know what they can do, gods is it spooky that a few metal funions could destroy all sentient life in a big area

I love this channel because of how creative he is.
Facts bro
Estonia is better.
And that creativety leads to deaths of meany bots around the map

how did u comment 12 hours ago?!

You mean, the space force 😂
It’s complete overkill/pointless to make such a big airship in real life. Much easier and more practical to patrol the skies with fighter jets and helicopters, which they already do.
Next idea: perhaps a bipedal mech suit that is able to complete every level of besiege?
Oh boy, are we going to have a resurgence of mechs?
Nice to see that NileRed has finally branched out from chemistry videos to Besiege.

These videos keep getting crazier and crazier
They’re awesome
I swear, one day this guy is going to publish a paper with the instructions to make a mecha.
My man really made an orbital bombardment machine! Insane! Great video.
The ICBMs do get a bit quirky at night
Phone guy works at the CIA
Probably one of your greatest Besiege builds. The bomb targeting is really cool too!
the uploads just keep comming!! thanks for that :D
maybe try to make historically accurate weird contraptions ;)

(like scrapman)
Yeah in trailmakers
@@ihiminen3393 exactly
Huh, I haven't thought about Besiege in years; it's crazy what people are still able to make!
these builds just get more impressive as time goes on
My lord what do you think about the furrys
@@xander-the-minecrafter if they don’t turn from their evil ways, they should be unalived
@@xander-the-minecrafter theyre alright. Pretty weird but it's not like they're hurting anybody.
@@the_egg_ wrong answer
@@xander-the-minecrafter no
though the destructive potential is not much, the means used to make it hover and stay stable are very cool
The plan is that your targets will just simply die of a heart attack when they see that thing in the sky
This has to be one of, if not the prettiest design(s) you've made in besiege so far, great work
next video:
"Hey guys, today I'm making an artificial sun, this should be pretty simple so lets get started!"
16:30
You are tending to your crops as a medieval farmer, much like any other day. You suddenly look up into the sky, and just see the embodiment of death.
very quirky, reid
he is always making quirky stuff
This is certified military hardware.
By yours truly.
Really like this build. The aiming lever was above and beyond!
These videos are the ultimate example of “trust the process”
Simultaneously infuriating and highly satisfying. Good stuff.
wow this was your most insane contraption yet :)
i hope you'll come back to that precision bomb dart launcher thing, that seemed pretty cool
That looks amazing with the two rings moving around the central pillar! And definitely a VTOL.
Great Job! Cant wait for the next vid!
This is absolutely incredible. Design, visual, functionality, just amazing.
i love the look of the steam in the distance it makes it look like its not made of wood but rings of energy or something like that
“What you’re seeing here is advanced warfare”
Amazing! Don't know how you come up with these!
Oh this one’s gonna be a good one
Yes
Awesome video and interesting. keep it up!
i saw the the thumbmail of the video and i thought "omg the missile is gigantic! (in my imagination the red alian thing was a missile) Good work! love the content
The kind of thing to make aliens impressed with out tech.
I Love these besiege videos, please never stop
This is cool af I love hwo you can pretty much build whatever you want
god you're like my favorite TH-camr ever everything you do makes me worried for your health keep up the great work

My absolute favourite videos to watch at 2 am
this is completely nuts
subbed
Every episode I think that it can’t get crazier
I am wrong every time
cool video I like how u explain and find solutions to the problems

I really love the design of the double stabilising wheels
The oscillations most likely stemmed from the not-so-rigid connection with a structure so large, alongside that besiege hates having too much mass on a block that is too light, so it starts spazzing out.
That is SUPER intimidating :O
This channel is insane
the fact that reid doesnt work as an engineer in the us army is a disgrace
that looks sick, didn't know a hover design like that would work

not surprised if one day this guy build a Star destroyer in medieval cover with wood
Definitely the coolest thing you've built so far
I can't believe how much this guy wants things
You're a flippin madman what in the world man
Your videos are amazing
Imagine chilling as a guard at your castle and you hear Captain Reid start narrating
Ive been waiting to see something like this for a while and I got an idea have you made a railgun in this game yet if you have that's fine if you haven't since railguns in real life are usually powered by magnets you could try it with vacuum
i love the stabilisation. actual rcs thrusters and gyro
Problem: *exists*
Captain Reid: MORE BRACES
This man could get a degree in engineering from just his besiege videos
this thing looks awesome. love the mothership vibe
I liked the dart launcher concept, and disappointed that you abandoned it. Still a very very cool build. Maybe you can revisit that in the future!
Also, having different conical angles on your reaction wheels means they have different moments of inertia, which is why they don't cancel out. They need to be identical to cancel out everything. Obviously minor perturbations will make it non perfect as well.
Maybe like a secret agent car? Hidden missiles, guns, blades, bombs dropped to stop pursuing cars, ability to transform into a plane etc.?
every video i watch from this guy i learn that its not the game that has limits its my creativity
One of the coolest ones so far!
Welcome to PID control lol. But great video as always
6:43 : cool to see standing waves simulated in besiege!
nice work bro
I would have loved to see this, but with momentum based projectiles like they actually would use (as in using the hieght of the machine to turn regular steel rods into devastating projectiles)
This man made reaction wheels and RCS thrusters in Besiege.
He's falling into madness

Awesome I requested this when you asked for requests some time ago.

This sorta looks like the Gyro-evac balloon from Atlantis and I’m here for it!
Man, this reminds me of the balloon from Atlantis the Lost Empire, it's beautiful
This looks like something I would see in Evangelion.
That's awesome.
6:40
Top part: Jiggly wiggly, the jiggle wuggle *_*woulouloub*_*
you've inspired me to return to space engineers. i now want to waste a month of my life trying to once again complete the nauvoo from the expanse. yay me
I'd like it if you show off more testing of the completed product in your videos
In Trailmakers, make a jet that can dock itself into another, bigger jet, that then lets you fly the bigger jet without leaving the smaller jets’ seat
The appearance very loosely reminds me of a super cool game called Far: Lone Sails
I think it'd be epic if you made more autonomous vehicles (in different games (maybe even in plasma, the more math the more fun!))
that thing: *hovers over the city*
Villager: i knew it, we were never the heirs of this land to god,
We were the plague.
Reminds me of the airship from Disney Atlantis.
"Angel of Death above your position, hunker down, we got this..."
Yeah it is a cannon so it had to actually launch the payload, but just mass dropping a load of missiles or one big scatter missile with a main warhead would have been loads of fun too
As an idea,you could make a big wheel landship that could resemble the ,,big wheel machine-1914" concept and maybe add a howitzer on it,for long range egagements
Looks epic when it's flying
you should try to make an all terrain car (ie one that can ride up mountains and have good suspensions and good grip and good torc etc...)
