FYI when you first spawn in, use first person in the cockpit to view the map with an overlay of your ship showing exacty where you are. There are 2 hotkeys on the toolbar, #6 will zoom it in and out, and #7 will toggle it on/off. By default #4 on hotbar will flip and stop (retroburn) and #5 will flip (retrograde) the ship to help you stop. Highly recommend adding "Abort" as well to cancel it and give you back full control.

been watching these draconic expanse videos for a while now, this one was a big help towards convincing me to join

Speaking from experience as a player on this server. I was a new player about 2-3 months ago, and it was a struggle. I had made some comments about how it was difficult as a new player, and rather than just being ignored or put to the wayside, Staff actually listened, and people reached out to help me, and now they have gone above and beyond to REALLY ensure that new players feel more welcome, and have the resources they need to get started and succeed. For the people out there who are overwhelmed, or unsure of playing in a place like this, I can assure you that this IS the best place to be in Space Engineers multiplayer. You will struggle sometimes, it will be hard sometimes, but staff cares... A LOT, and people will help you. ITS WORTH IT!

I look forward to the new wave of crashed rock hoppers. It is a right of passage after all.

Welcome!

After watching a few of your combat videos, where a single torp can distract all the PDCs for a few seconds. I reckon you guys could have a warship fire a trickle stream of torps, one at a time, to distract PDC in melee combat and the advantage would be pretty substantial. The enemy could toggle the PDCs to not target torps, if he notices you doing it, but it's trick to do in the heat of battle, and if you notice some of his PD not being distracted by torps, you can alpha all the remaining torps, they'll hit him before he can toggle back.

Yup! there are a ton of different strategies during fleet maneuvers, but also a ton of different ways to counter those strategies like layering PDC coverage. I will die on the hill of "Our server takes the most pilot skill out of all the SE community servers" Biggest gunbrick does not = win on our server and thats really rare in the SE community.

@@alphamatte4259 well space engineer flying never took any skill and this isnt any diffrent, same with combat, auto locking and pressing a button isn't exactly a hard thing to do, so everytime you say things like "we are the most skillful" just think and remember this: "if you think you're good at something, you're gonna tell everybody, but if you're GREAT, everyone will keep saying it without you opening your mouth". Seen some of those Draconis server PvP videos.. for now it is just, "its our server so its the best", show something skillful and you will see it right back in the comments.

I am still very new to space engineers as a whole so I’ll probably wait to join but this is gonna make it really easy to get started, thanks n

Are you sure you want to set an example of leaving your rockhopper at the docking port after you got the new ship? Station docking master is gonna have a fit if the docks stay occupied.

Server advertisements get downvoted hard on the SE subreddit. People really don’t like them there. Yes we have continuously updated and revamped tons of different gameplay loops and streamlined new player experience over the past year. Our dev team works very hard to make sure our server meets the demands of our players.

The base game never really grabbed me, but your server convinced me to get the game. Is your server friendly for people who are new to the game as a whole, or should i hold off until I'm better acquainted?

We probably have the deepest most complicated server in the SE community - which is one reason why we are so popular. We have had plenty of people learn SE on our server, but it will be hard, if you are okay with that then sure. If not, I highly recommend Splitsies tutorials
