Space Engineers players freaking out over warfare update that has no new weapons meanwhile in From The Depths rando update: We're out of anime tiddies, here's a new weapon or whatever have fun.

i think plasma shots should scale their visible model size with damage, so we can easily see which shots are the "doom charges" (im thinking like 5m sphere of death)

As one of the people who tested plasma in the closed branch - it felt really well balanced even prior to release - in addition to what's in the patch notes, I know there have also been a bunch of new Neter craft updates in the patch and a ton more on the way due to plasma

One thing I really like about the new Plasma weapon: it democratizes anti-heavy armor. As someone who has always struggled to build AP railguns to any level of mastery, this is a welcome addition.

Borderwise: *makes APS frag shotgun* FTD devs: "Did someone say... Shotguns?" I can imagine a jet or small and fast boat that buzzes around your craft and shotguns you to death. Or I can make a new awesome plasma tank for ashes that SHREDS those dang heavy armored tanks.

Not sure how I feel about plasma yet, I'll need to mess around with it more to find its use cases. I do know I want a flamethrower emitter, though

I like how this is a counter against blocks of armor.

Borderwise got distracted by the new toys. 🤣

13 hours! Fine, I'll get popcorn

good to see that raming got an upgrade, makes the dream of the uber-nuke missile easier to realise

Certainly an interesting patch. I concur with the plasma from my testing. A good weapon that scales well from small to big but isn't OP.

I feel the plasma cannon is what the particle cannon was supposed to be

Let's go! Always happy to see BorderWise covering these things! These are really good content!

Has anyone else never heard of this coming to the game? Damn it looks good tho.

btw you can als oplace the heat sinks on the bottom of the barrel.

im just adding a comment for support . Have fun borderwise . i love you videos

Good vid, also please make more craft like your little plasma gunboat, i love him

New weapon system!? EPIC!

Honestly i find plasma to be a bit too overpowered right now. Like, i get that stacked heavy armor is hard to defeat, but that is the whole point of stacked heavy armor, and we already have heavy armor piercing weapons like PAC and railguns to deal with it. I think the devs could have nerfed slopes in your armor, for example reduced armor value for blocks in front of slopes, kind of like the reverse of the buff you get from full armor blocks, this would have made heavy armor filled with slope blocks more balanced. Because right now, because of plasma, heavy armor vehicles in general are kind of useless, unless you just widen your ships with 2 or 3 air gaps (this makes HEAT and HESH even more obsolete since they get hit by those defenses too)

When you use it like a regular weapon, it feels pretty balanced. However, plasma alpha strike is ridiculous. I built a plasma cannon worth 120k mats with a 40 second reload that can mostly disable the singularity in one shot from the front, depending on where it hits.

I saw the lathrix video and it looks like it could be like aps or a doom cram

I love making CIWS; on one hand I'm happy that I have a new flavor of counter-dakka, but on the other hand I don't like how my beautifully tuned 2,000 RPM sustained ROF bricks of BRRRRT are now almost obsolete... On the other hand this might be a weapon other than PAC that I might actually be any good at!

GYATT DAMN i tried to make a big plasma gun many batteries were emptied in the span of minutes

Bruh im tempted to go to sleep early so i can wake up to watch this

yeaaaaaaa, I'm going to redownload FtD. I'm curious how well this will work as a dedicated AA system as I really want to replace all my 5 in flak guns with Plasma now.

i wonder are these possibly a good option to shoot down cram shots ? answer : obviously

Try the magnetic splitter it’s pretty nice

Plasma only Neter when?

Plasma bomber when?

Split emitor plasma bombers?

I saw the update and was like "border wise update video"

ok, but can it shoot in a morta arch so i can make a halop wraith now?

12 hrs remaining, cant wait to see this banger

Look... to everyone crying about its role or its power... I don't care. I'm never using another weapon type. The aesthetic is too dang good.

*Imperial March starts playing*

So this isn't really the point of the video, but DAMN the Rook looks awesome.

Plasma lose vs Stack (or Gliched) Armor becous the DMG split

I love those. Using them a shitton in Adventure mode atm and it's working perfectly.

:)

the only thing i hate so far from this update is the new look for all the AI stuff. it looks very ugly in my opinion.

I'm done buying video games until they STOP adding major features. I want to play a finished, coherent product, not have to constantly study like it's my job.
