Space Engineers [sandbox goodness]

This is pretty good. I've been playing survival & built a small mining ship with 9 drills. It's also pretty fun boarding the ships that spawn & pass through and blowing them apart from within with explosives.
 
I was mildly interested in it until I watched 3 of the creators videos. They seem to have nothing but spaceships crashing on it. Way to lose my interest fast. I want to know what it's like to create stuff.
 
I picked this up on Steam, playing survival mode and really enjoyed it! Suprised that its not more popular than it is!

It's getting constant updates with new items and features! Looking forward to playing this at a LAN i think it could be awesome!
 
I kill myself often enough without weapons lol it is good fun, hoping proper hosted multiplayer comes soon, would be amazing fun to play with even a small group of OCUKers :)
 
Weapons are in it already, I'm currently building a lightly armoured carrier type thing inside a hollowed out asteroid I found.

Here is my progress so far -

 
Was the weapons added recently? i only picked this up last week! Seems like features are constantly added to the game though!

Also ^ Impressive ship, are you building that in creative mode? or Survival mode?

I'm building it in survival mode, as for weapons they have been on small ships for a while but only just added to large ships.

Multiplayer could be a lot of fun, given that it is possible to copy & paste creations into new maps you could have proper battles between ships with a crew of say 5-6 people each if they implemented some sort of team system.

I could imagine the battles being rather epic with the damage system with both ships tearing each other to pieces, especially once the interior turrets are working properly as a properly set up ship will either need to be disabled or just smashed to bits before you could then attempt to board it & fight in the corridors with guns.

First team to the other teams bridge wins.
 
Been finding myself, jumping back to playing this in small bursts over the past few weeks. Updates are coming in thick and fast. Almost guaranteed to get some form of update every 2 weeks.

Most recent and important update, was the addition of tubes and methods for moving items around storage containers. Along with turning physical items into stored ones and ejecting items from storage into physical items.

Makes for some great mining ship setups.
 
Been playing this rock solid for a few months now and its so addictive! Have yet to fully utilise multiplayer but if anyone fancies playing some scenarios together im up for it. I created a neat battle carrier as well which houses fighter.
 
Do we think its going to end up a survival sandbox multiplayer? Kind of along the lines of Minecraft in terms of different resources, but more obviously in terms of building ships, space stations etc?
 
To be fair I find there isn't enough in it to keep me playing more than a few hours messing about. It needs more units etc especially in survival - which is the only mode I'm interested in.
