Both of these ships are indeed ingame creations! The Imperium vessel Shrike and Monolith vessel Anvil are both available to be spawned into creative without any prior downloads! 1. Open a creative game 2. Open your ship library and navigate to built-ins 3. Select Imperium/Monolith and then the subtab combat ships 4. Type in Saris or the ship's name, and drag it into game! And voila, you can see the ship, observe its internals, modify its organs, and try railfanning yourself!

This video is a life saver. I have a deep love of railguns and when tiny ships started strafing at a snail's pace while my fat ship wouldn't just turn and shoot them, I thought I'd have to give up on them. Now my rails shall elongate and penetrate deeply. A toast to you sir.

@@christopherrogers532 well that is why you need an armoured "barrel" infront of it with some shields protecting it. if you design your ship around it it can be very powerful.

Hey dude. Nice vid. Could you please make a detailed video on shield generator setups? Shields can be tricky to set up correctly and I've noticed that some of the better built-in ships seem to have way sturdier shields than my ships. Like, sometimes I'll need 3 shield generators to mimic the effect of what the enemy achieves with just 2 shield generators.

*0:03* We are three seconds into the video and I'm already laughing uncontrollably. That's when you know you're in for a treat. Anyways... Yes! I *needed* a guide on Railfans! Even if I'm not that much of a meta enthusiast, I still like building railfans and trying to make them look as unique as possible even if that's not their point, whilst maintaining their shredding abilities. But I always struggled a lot with controlling them. For example, I always fell into the trap of rotating railfans too quickly for their own good, making them hit their projectiles in different places and hit the part I was aiming at from different directions, which ruins their whole point of being a ship shredder. This guide really helped me, thanks. .....Also, could we mention how straight up gorgeous that Imperium-style railfan is? I wish my building and more importantly painting skills were 10% as good...
