Assertive Acquisitions

Assertive Acquisitions is a Space Engineers Let's Play series and a Zebra Monkeys production. It follows Splitsie McSplitsington, TheFinalEvent97, and (after episode 11) Capac, as they fight against the ASSERT faction to acquire the unique uncraftable ASSERT thrusters from their ships.
== Setting ==
Assertive Acquisitions apparently takes place around the year 2081The date Splitsie McSplitsington wrote on a cheque in "A Helping Hand - Assertive Acquisitions #11" 18:40 into the video - https://youtu.be/h01FaiD1LL0?t=1122 (though it is unclear what calendar that is using).
The first 33 episodes are set on a system of moons of a blue gas giant (an Orunos with modified gravity falloff), with the focus mainly being on an unnamed Moon-type moon. Later episodes are set out somewhere in deeper space, with the occasional asteroid around but no planets in sight, until the end of episode 67. Later episodes are shot on planet Crait (?).
== Release Schedule ==
New episodes of Assertive Acquisitions are released weekly on Wednesdays (in Splitsie's timezone; it may be Tuesdays for other timezones).A little update on what's happening on the channel :), 30 June 2023 https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx_dT4z2vO9QvKydl0Ga8lGlDAGQ6ysaCx
