Ever wondered if you can get true vector thrust in Space Engineers without relying on scripts like Vector Thrust 2 or external mods? This video dives deep into several vanilla-friendly methods to achieve directional thrust, giving you unparalleled control over your ships!

We explore creative solutions using only in-game mechanics, contrasting them with traditional script-based approaches. Discover how to build versatile ships that can move in all six directions – forward, backward, left, right, up, and down – using sensors, wheels, event controllers, and clever thruster placement.

In this video, you'll learn about:
0:00:00 Introduction to Vector Thrust in Space Engineers
0:00:19 Understanding Script-Based Vector Thrust (Traditional Method)
0:01:49 Vanilla Vector Thrust using Wheels & Sensors (Initial Attempts)
0:02:00 Achieving Left & Right Thrust
0:02:29 Forward & Backward Thrust with Rudder Mechanism
0:11:12 Limitations of this Method
0:05:05 Advanced Vanilla Vector Thrust with Event Controllers, Rotors & Thrusters
0:09:07 Detailed Setup & Configuration
0:05:50 Overcoming Challenges with Combined Thrust
0:09:00 Effectiveness of the Event Controller Setup
0:07:56 Three-Thruster Vanilla Setup for Full Directional Control
0:10:21 Comparing Vanilla vs. Scripted Vector Thrust

Whether you're looking for a challenging build, playing on a server that restricts scripts, or simply want to push the boundaries of vanilla Space Engineers, this guide has you covered!
