I try my hand at some small grid fighter combat versus ASSERT ships and fighter escort. I prefer close range “knife fight” with my Small Grid craft but I will still trade pain with my Large Grid ships too. Is it all in the ship or is pilot skill a bigger factor? Is snipping at a distance really a “fair “fight or do you not fire until you can see the terror in their eyes? Is it really PvP when you have turrets fighting turrets? “I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.” (John Paul Jones) Spacedock does a good breakdown of the Survivability Onion and science ficion that can also apply to your builds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GrddRdLZ4w Try some lessons on movement through space and targeting with Avenger__One https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fQzp2k4Nas&list=PL6PTNBCeyrc9I8czA2Qn8Jgn2hHulNeOd&index=2 Johnathan Winters also has excellent special movement comprehension and explanations that translate well into to Space Engineers ship movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-44Y7z7QCq4&list=PLvw-s-U1ebL7Qq36Y3nYnG-EMtv6mkuCs&index=6 Some ship evaluation tools can help analyze acceleration but does not seem to calculate for ion thrusters. https://spaceengineerspraisal.net/ Why did it take so long to find a classic Gaius Baltar rant?!

Just the fight from the end of the two time lapsed build and test videos of my take on a couple of Colonial Fleet ships. AI does not like to give a good show so I had to compile this footage from a few takes and a couple of points of view. These big ships tended to just circle or ram each other which I had either swap the AI combat method or pilot myself to get back in to the fight.

Chappa Four was long in the tooth and its replacement frigate was not settling into the job well. Another Battlecruiser was required; one far younger and far stronger. The project was shipped off world to a developing space station where the project grew more powerful than expected. With massive drive nacelles and bristling with heavy weapons she was built like a steakhouse but landed like a bistro. I found a cool looking ship on pintrest and eventually ran down the original source to Space Gooose on Art Station (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/48PJa2). There are some interesting ship designs from ordinary objects; very cool. It has no interior and comes set with the AI already active. Drop in a world and let it rip in to your ships. I like to set this ship in first and set to an enemy faction before relocating to at least 3km away and pasting in my ship to be tested. When using multiple of these AI ships it seems to be easier to leave them as your faction and then set your ship to be tested as an opposing faction so they don’t try to destroy each other before you can get control.
