Medieval Space Engineers - Trebuchet and Balltista!

Description
With the recent Medieval Engineers announcement I'd been thinking about whether some of the concepts from that would work in Space Engineers. So today as the last of the silly bits I've built some seige weapons to test out whether the physics can work in the SE wo

The world to accompany the attached video from my YouTube channel!

hello

great mod

i dont know about you
but, i have read that space engineers is a better game. im one of those people who sees something good in one game and wants that to be added to another game.

what i was thinking was "adding or combining medieval engineers to space engineers"
creating a better game than just having two games completely separate
do you think that this is possible?

thank you

:D
After I finished it I had a moment where I was like "...This has almost nothing to do with trebuchets." *Shrugs*

Haven't tried it yet but you're getting 10 points for style at the very least.. lol wasn't expecting that despite the name :)

@Baron Samedi Would like to check that out yeah, because ur profile is private can't find an easy way to do so.. If I ask for a link thats not spamming right? :)

Nice, I'm not the only one who started thinking ahead towards ME :D
I was thinking about Edward Longshanks' "Warwolf" trebuchet, so I built something based on it, but it has nothing to do with trebuchets I'm afraid. It's just a massive gravity ram that fires meteors. Check it out on my workshop if you want, I won't spam you with a link.

@Psypop technically anything that launches an object using a stored force is a catapault, however this design uses an approximation of the trebuchet physics so I called it that, although as I mention in the video the 'cup' end is more of a 'typical' catapault feature as trebuchets tended to use a sling.

The difference being that a trebuchet functioned by using a heavy weight (or a load of guys pulling down) on an unequal length lever to create a strong swinging force made stronger by the sling effect, a typical catapault used tension in either rope or wood to achieve it's force around a static point.

It is a nice experiment, it inspires me a little. But what you actually made was not trebuchet it was catapult.

@Reppy022 that's even weirder than this one.. good luck! Wish I could help but I'm clueless it seems :)
