If anybody was wondering, yes you can fire a railgun down the Willis Duct block if you want a protective/decorative cover over your weapons.

Also, the Emotion controller can be a stand in for a full block LCD panel to inset into a wall, same PCU cost.

How dare you point your weapon at that plushie

Something i would like to see a tutorial on would be something i was wondering about a while ago; how to get my ships to fly in formation. Like if i had a really big carrier and i wanted two cruisers on either side to maintain a formation and follow me around.

The down side to the ducts is there is no up/down holes. And one with a door in it would be nice cause if you use these than you won't be able to compartmentalize your ship/station to keep it air tight.

I loved the way your transitioned there.. Decorative paid panels > why should we buy > added depth, for example: new event controller trigger > panel reset > emojis. Well done.
Same with the alien vibes of air vents and plushies.
That was different than all the alternative SE YouTubers.

Target locking at max range for turrets, thank you Keen!

[foxtrotunit]

I can see it already: Guided torpedoes, PMWs, "Jerricho"-style cluster munitions, AI drones, ...
This calls for a "Mad Aaron 3: Full Auto...mation" server.
Absolute madness, absolute Aaron.
This spring, 2023.

I sure hope that when SE 2 is released, they integrate all these awesome DLCs into it as a base content so that there is consistency between various people's blueprints.

Was waiting for this! (But for the hundredth time, it's "Automatons" not "Automations")

[mindlessmrawesome]

Awesome update, I really can't wait to see what kind of creations make it to the workshop using these new blocks.
My one gripe: that top mounted camera really needs to be a base-game feature. That's some functionality that can't really be accomplished in the base game.

[nuker]

Hope this AI development eventually leads to more NPC type content being developed (pirates and the like), as a PVE player I'd love more meat on that side of the game

[nakdxsnake]

I love that they just keep building out this game. It would be cool if we ever got some new ramped curved and cosmetic shaped pieces to flesh out builds.

[Coleo]

The new camera block makes me really wish they'd add a feature to both cameras and turrets where you can rotate the camera orientation by 90° increments. Like what if you want to mount the new camera under the nose of your ship instead of on top. Then you could just adjust a terminal slider to flip it by 180°. Similarly what if you mount a turret upside down or sideways?

[Leaglestalon]

With this can see a truly new terrifying return of the purple drones. Also am glad I held back work on my own design till after the update so many things to give more life and enjoyment out of my ship build. Only question I was wondering is if the AI system can interact with the store areas? A good example the AI drone deliver ores to the store to be sold or to pick up something you need without having to run there yourself. If not it defiantly a good idea for whatever updating they'll add after this

[solidmoon]

The improved turrets will really help me for playing solo so I can have a much more fun experience in combat rather then trying to avoid it.

Also: "Custom Turret Controller now has the much requested “Sun Tracking” option!" - from the blog post

[maskdparade]

I have to say the amount of roleplaying available with this is going to be awesome. you can make it so the crew has to go through ducts and then peeps on a enemy crew talk and you can have all this hiding and puzzling with moving around. you can making actual tiny drones and warthogs now that would provide an awesome cinematic for running or chase scenes

[lightspeedvictory]

The new camera will be really useful for custom turrets

[hanswolfgangmercer]

I wish those willis ducts worked as conveyors so they would act as natural access corridors for repairing various hard to reach systems in ships

[SamaelVR]

So many good tank related blocks here…Hatches, sleeker cameras, 2x2 wheels…
