Thanks a bundle for sharing, very well made little tutorial that covers all essentials. Kudos!

Thanks, I'm glad you took the time to make this video. I like the foot hanging off the station to get started idea!

I enjoyed this, I'm brand new to Space Engineers and this was really helpful. Thanks!

Glad it helped :) Happy buildin!

I'm new to Space Engineers, and this was very helpful. Thank you.

As a final word you can use more than 3 clips at will, resulting on more effectiveness but its more resource costly, and that you need Co, Ni and Fe i believe (Cobalt, Nickle and Iron) to create guns and ammo.

Adding on-to that, going for a Grinder can also be effective but putting you at risk to the noob having a grinder to also cut you up.

@GwammarWolff i have done alot of research on Space Engineers gameplay i don't have it but i MAY have a solution. So, try to get atleast what you need for a Assualt Rifle, and atleast 90 or more bullets resulting in atleast 3 clips needed, Because atleast 90 bullets as shown by LSG can atleast kill one guy with concentrated fire.

my first survival ship was destroyed by a noob, any ways to prevent nub-struction?

@theonetruetom sounds like some fun ideas, glad the video got you trying to improve the design and thinking about other routes. Have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yntkba4kOZE as I've done a video on a similar idea to the merge blocks you are mentioning. Thanks for the comment.
