Proportional navigation is a type of navigation where you try to keep the same angle with your target at all times. It behaves similarly to target prediction but it can deal with rapid direction changes better. It is worse at hitting a target from far away. So you would likely want to use two intercept blocks, one to close distance and then swap to proportional once close.

Back when I was more actively playing SE, my friend and I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get remotely-piloted ships operating properly in squads. We were on the Draconis servers and were fighting a much larger player-faction, so we needed to operate a lot of drone ships simultaneously to stand a chance. Doing so had a significant impact on sim speed, though, due to all of the scripts involved. Having the AI blocks back then would've made it a cake-walk, though, admittedly, it would've meant they could have done the same. Regardless, excited to see how this changes the game.

I'm finding that I rather like how these blocks fill a niche in between manual control and what scripts are capable of. There's always been this awkward niche where the remote control that we had before wasn't quite enough but scripting it was enough of a pita that people tended to just use a script somebody else published, which would almost always have a bajillion more features than what they needed and all of the resulting complexity and set-up difficulty. And we can now have these things on official servers and other servers without mods and scripts, which is going to be so, SO nice.

I can now make my ECM decoy torpedoes dance around enemies confusing their turrets.

AI Recorder block works kinda like Remote Control autopilot, but you record the waypoints by moving the drone manually instead of putting GPS coordinates, and like the autopilot you can assign actions for each waypoint. Unlike the autopilot, waypoints can be relative to grids. So recording the waypoints towards connector on a ship and assigning Lock on the last waypoint will make your drone dock regardless where the connector is. Best way to do that is to record one waypoint under the connector, then another when the connectors are touching.

We did see a teaser of that before so maybe it's coming in the full update.

Two things I have become addicted to in the beta are: Using the event controller to put batteries and tanks on recharge/stockpile when connected via connector, and setting up an auto docking system.

1:56 The AI flight (move) has both speed and altitude settings, meaning if you could the values right, you could make a proper orbit within a gravity field. Since once it reaches the target speed and altitude, it'll stop using it's engines since it already stays at the right values naturally, but if it starts to veer off course it'll make micro adjustments until it's in a stable orbit. The only catch is that it has to orbit high enough to have an orbital velocity below 100m/s. This could have a few applications, for example, a heliosynchronous orbit where a grid would orbit in such a way that it'll always be in sunlight, helping with solar panels' intermediacy. Of course it'd be different in SE since the sun moves around the planet instead of the planet around the sun in the real world, and real heliosynchronous orbits require the slight bulge around the earth's equator, but that might not be necessary in SE because of how the sun moves.

I believe proportional navigation is similar to the auto inertial damper setting in that it keeps the lateral movement relative to the target as close to 0 as it can. This means that it will also just fly straight to the target relatively speaking but is not as susceptible to evasive maneuvers where prediction guidance aims ahead of the target but sudden course changes can give it trouble. For big lumbering targets prediction will get it there on the shortest route, for smaller more agile targets you may want proportional to let the missile counter the evasive maneuvers with its own micro corrections. Whether or not this holds true in practice and will remain so is yet to be seen. Fingers crossed this goes well!

This game is slowly becoming a factory building survival game, and I love it

A quick note: Trees deal 0 damage to your ship, a good trick to lower your momentum when your ship is out of control is to hit as many trees as possible. Also I would love an AI block that will allow a drone to mimic the actions of a main ship.

9:40 from the depths has similar options for missiles and according to a year old reddit post (very reliable source) Prediction Guidance flies the missile towards where it thinks the target will be when it gets there, which is better for targets that move in straight lines Augmented Proportional Navigation (APN) is better against more maneuverable targets, but takes a less direct route, making it have a better window to be shot down

Had a few goes at the drone creation and honestly it is game changing, especially for single players who can now command proper carriers and launch swarms of drones against NPCs, can see the NPC mods getting an overhaul and making for some great fun. The intercept option for custom missiles now saves on the rotor gyro annoyance while it seems also adding the ability for missiles to have some self preservation in evasive actions, so missiles avoiding PD might be a thing. As for the ejector, finally, now if we get the small grid 3x3 piston and 3x3 standard rotor we will complete the set.

I just realized that you can have a fighter screen around your bombers while also having a fighter screen around your carrier

This has the potential to make awesome drones for scenarios

Not sure if anyone has answered yet, but I'm pretty certain that the different guidance types for missiles are virtually the same barring Target prediction. Basic seems to always keep the missile pointing at the target regardless of the target's speed, target prediction of course creates an intercept between the target and the missile and aims for that rather than the target (These will be foiled by reasonably fast manoeuvrable craft, as the craft can just do a 180 and the missile has to drop a substantial amount of velocity to change it's course). This will likely be the best bang for your buck guidance type, especially vs vehicles that you can expect to be at the world speed limit. Proportional Navigation IRL means that the missile is constantly facing the target, and always keeps the target directly infront of it rather than trying any fancy intercept manoeuvres. As I say this seems to be the same as basic from what I can tell? but I haven't actually played with the new blocks so this is just from your description. This guidance will struggle against ships that are at full speed, as they won't be able to catch up to them, atleast not quickly (Even if it's a small grid missile chasing a large grid ship)

That's not what proportional navigation does. APN guidance tries to keep the target at a constant angle from the missile (It doesn't care what that angle is, it just tries to keep it from changing), so if the target is moving left from the missile's POV it steers left. This results in the missile achieving an intercept course. It is foiled less by rapidly-maneuvering targets than target prediction guidance.

@@Zer0sLegion I think it's just a matter of the math being used internally ; it sounds to me like target prediction is basically like basic guidance offset by a vector that's proportional to the target's velocity vector, while proportional navigation seems to be a bit different (and more elaborate), where the idea is to keep your trajectory as a whole aligned with the target, including considerations of your current angular velocity & acceleration. They should amount to the same thing in practice given Space Engineers' limit of 100m/s, but I suspect proportional navigation to be more accurate for scenarios where your missiles are extremely fast? It could still matter in scenarios where you're trying to design an anti-missile and they're traveling 100m/s head-on, though :-) EDIT: It could also matter with the atmospheric forces mod, I suspect proportional navigation to behave better when there's external forces acting on your missile too?

Really excited about the Recorder Task... hoping I can finally get my ship to auto dock with my orbital station... Tried using scripts that were really good yet they failed to update the fact it was moving... worked well at regular speed, but with a speed mod anything over 200 required manual landings.

I hate losing stuffs for some reason while I'm away and I didn't pay attention to it... The circle attack mode and the home to a ship and the record of paths will make some scripts I've subbed before (but never used as it had quite a long way to configure it) as well as following will maybe make me do drones. It also made me think of a blueprint I saw where it was a drop pod falling on a stationary target, with the drone option it could be made to aim at moving target... I want to see what the others will do with it but I hope there will be someone that make a 1 button have a lots of small drone fly out of a carrier ship and attack a target... And also the target the sun, I'll probably still use the mod "SmartRotors: Solar" as the skinny rotor is one of my favorite option but having it as an option is nice... So what I'll do with this? Maybe having decoy drone flying around drawing fire? TBH I don't know yet, I'll need to know what are the possibilities (and the limits) and being inspired before really using this...

My own personal gripe is that the list of conditions is severely lacking.

As you may know, recording a path relative to a beacon and all that for accurate docking. On the final waypoint of a drone going to say, your refinery, make it lock the connector. Oh but we're not done yet! Manually lock the ship now after doing that, then add another waypoint. But this waypoint, tell it to "Play" the second path recorded: your mining vessel. Then do the same thing at your mining ship or rover, a connector locking waypoint, then add a waypoint after the locking phase to "Play" the first path recorded. Right now, i don't know how to make the mining ship fill the drones cargo container automatically, as i've never really spent time learning the game before so I manually do it. as filling the "Connector" with the pull function generally isn't enough to be worth sending a drone back to base. Soon as I fill the cargo manually to full, i use the controller to unlock the connector automatically. then when the cargo is empty at base it'll unlock itself and return. I'm not good at explaining so sorry if that's a jumble lol, just thought i'd share a workaround if it was needed or if you were frustrated about To and fro cargo drones not doing it.

The new blocks are really interesting. As well as the opportunities that they give. For example, returning HOME. But it's not enough to just go home. Now you need to add, for example, a "Programmable Gateway or connector". And make it possible to set the "Home" point there in the settings, since this will make it possible to use all the capabilities of different drones more correctly. The drone will return home and will be able to join the desired connector. For example, a mining drone; it will fly to the base itself and directly transfer resources. Moreover, it will be able to charge the battery. The same goes for a combat drone. He should be able to return to base. Dock with the base. Replenish ammunition. Must charge itself. Otherwise, many features will not work correctly.

You can do that using the event controller an AI Recorder (Task)

WELL! This will make my custom missles even better :U Also launch the Drone army! (20 Drones) with auto build :)

wish the event controlled had a hotkey event or even a thruster fired event

Well, now I'm stoked for SE once again. My most played game, how can I not let you go? *Probably because I don't want to let go.*

Re the turret controller - noticed the ‘3rd person’ view of it seems to have been removed. I always found it very fun / useful but curious if others feel the same way about it. Not sure it wasn’t just a bug to begin with.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think it's probably better not to have it though as it seemed quite buggy before.
