Space Engineers now has its first weapon, the Drill! Similar to the bore in Miner Wars 2081, this one is OP. It’s only for Small Ships, which makes sense. Cause you wouldn’t find a drill on a transport ship.
You can bore through asteroids, and even other ships or space stations, making everything destructible in the environment; the way Miner Wars 2081 should had been.
Also, the player can also have a hand drill! It does the same thing as a drill on a small ship.
To top it off, objects can be rotated better now, allowing better precision.
And there you go. The first weapon in the game that allows asteroids to be bored through, and better rotation. Very nice updates, devs. Keep them coming.
EDIT: And they do! They have released a mini-update to tag to this one;
– Beacons can now be named. Yay!
– And several bug fixes, one I encountered a long time ago. They are…
fixed crash when setting controls
fixed crash when using ladder
fixed ladder movement
fixed asteroid rendering issue
fixed start-up crash after removing second display
fixed character on ladder with drill
Thanks, devs! 🙂 Can’t wait to see what you do for the future of this game.
