For a naming scheme: use of wood types and various suffixes and prefixes based on the type of ship. As an example; Airships could have the suffix of Areal, Light Ships: Alael, Medium ships: Interim, Heavy Ships: gros etc. etc. You could also serve fast and lose with the wood and suffixes etc to make it sound better, be it with spelling or indeed whether the points in question are fused or separate. And ofc classic portmanteus are also great. So, for example; For the initial light barge, we can classify that as a light ship, and we can say that, due to it being an early and likely common ship, it should be described as a common or at least cheap wood type. Oak, Pine and Birch come to mind. So: Pinaleal, Oaleal. or indeed Biraleal could work. (Benefit to this system: no wrong way to pronounce it!) So, on these craft i propose, on the basis of the above (In order of apperance in this video): 1- Biralel (birch, Aleal) 2- Chari (Cherry wood, Carry, Chariot. All work) 3- Mapariel (Maple (Based on maple seed also referred to as helicopter seed.), -Areal) 4 - Ply (Ply wood. Fly. I couldn't help myself), if not that: Cedariel. Yes I'm aware this is too overthought and complicated. No I do not regret being such a nerd about this.

[@Loooom555]

There should be a catamaran canoe airship with four slightly larger turrets (one top one bottom on each part)

[@DarkAnd1000]

maybe some decorative sails could fit into the faction's craft? a couple square sails could very easly make the cruiser/helicopter carrier look more like a chinese junk, which could fit the "improvised warship" thing you mentioned. Also horizontal sails on airships can make it look like a kite and I just think those look cool

[@3dwrecker_4660]

15:00 Idea for the backstory thing; It could be a refit carrier that was no longer needed as a carrier, but Hawa lacked the materials for a brand new designated large cruiser.

[@SephirothRyu]

One thing to go for with any custom faction is a theme, is to sometimes conceptualize not only a style, but also a weakness. An airship faction for instance being bobby and weavy, but having... almost no armor and thus being weak to very fast weapons.

[@nyanno]

You can also do the bouncy by having your altitude change the PID system, When at 50m above water change PID to set alt to 150 and when at 150 alt change the PID system to set to 50.. This is something that I liked to do back in the day before I used PID's for stability 💖

[@leetheeagle7264]

The new Crossbones is once again able to kill the Bulwark with ease. In fact, that CIWS is capable of easily downing an entire volley from the Bulwark. It's CIWS is better than the godawful LAMS the bulwark totes (it has 6000 storage, i WISH i was joking)

[@3dwrecker_4660]

Yeah I recently discovered that too. Kinda upsetting tbh.

[@Cobrax_x]

I think ow generally needs an upgrade, the trebuchet is basically an exploding target

[@revengefullobster4524]

real easy way to get an airship to change altitude is use the circle ai and set upwards and downward evasion altitude to whatever you want and 90 degrees. it will circle and go up and down. if you set the minimum approach angle to 0 it will almost make like an attack run.

[@aleksandermate439]

Maybe the hawa confederation needs like a marauder? A giant gun on a little boat, maybe 4 500mm 8m hesh gun with long reload and abismal velocity, and some frag sprinkles in the shell? So it can take light and heavier targets alike?

[@BorderWise12]

Good idea!

[@aleksandermate439]

@@BorderWise12 like the onyx watch marauder counter part but eith 500mm guns

[@ZackHab]

I would also love to see another faction which are really improvised and scruffy, with bits of armour gone or replaced with wood

[@scorpion563]

24:58 Reason it can shoot down iron cordon missiles is because the thing fires them slowing and spaced out and they have no reinforced bodies or a dedicated tanking missile at the front to soak anti missile munitions. Just a onyx watch moment.

[@jadekaiser7840]

If I were to guess as to why the Crossbones focuses so much of the helicopter, it probably has the weapon controllers for its CRAM turrets set to prioritize Detection Signature, coupled with a heavy tendency to mostly Radar for its detection components. Possibly even set to target Radar Only signature type to prevent them from shooting at subs. Aircraft have strong Radar detection signature for their size, and it would suit the fact that DWG stuff is still supposed to be the "beginner faction" if they chose to intentionally introduce a subtle weakness like that instead of just setting them to not shoot at targets below -5~ish elevation. The superstructure getting hit a lot might be an artifact of not only the target prioritization, but also just the fact that you made the superstructure very large and put it smack-dab in the middle of the ship. At that point it's kind of inevitable that things will tend to hit it more just by the law of averages.

[@Knot_Sean]

I think the ship should have a slightly reinforced citadel in the front. However the back could be left be as a blown up frontal turret and engine is more damaging than loosing the rear turret. Rear turret going boom keeps the making things go boom

[@Garethaxz]

YESSS, Reinforced Wood and Applique are underrated lol. Reinforced + Alloy + stone is surprisingly light and resilient, but expensive lol. Why not try ring shields to boost the armor value of the weaker blocks? Also, Wood neter was equal parts fun and salt XD

[@Snicshavo]

Next: orbital strike Airship with few powerful canons on bottom

[@admiraltorvosaurus8513]

Here's a ship name scheme Idea that I did for my story factions. Find a random creature like a beetle, and name the ships after the species of beetles. This eases the pain of coming up with creative names.

[@admiraltorvosaurus8513]

Google is your friend in naming ships.

[@thebevil8127]

I'm likely late for giving suggestions but I think a submarine focused faction would be quite fun (and evil) Although- you do already have the amphibious tank faction, so I don't exactly know how a sub focused faction would fit.

[@sovietpotato3336]

personally I would say to keep the heavy barge's explosive turrets, as it would balance out the damage it can deal, which is neat (also what would be your opinion on casemate guns for the hawa ships?)

[@Un_soldat]

What about naming all of the ships the scientific names for trees? Nvm some one else suggested it lol

[@Gebunator]

Custom Canoes and Cannons.

[@rainfyre2694]

So, any torpedo boats?

[@BorderWise12]

Not yet... good idea! 👍

[@Kieselmeister]

The flimsy deck is WHY the heavy armor belt was useless in the original version... anything hitting the deck only had to go through 2-3 layers of wood/alloy. If the inner HA belt around the vitals was also capped with an HA armor deck layer, (as well as the roof of the turret ammo compartment and the neck being HA to deal with HE propagation), the armor scheme may have actually worked as intended.

[@BorderWise12]

Yes and no. You're right, using more HA in the right places would make it more survivable. But it would exacerbate the buoyancy and cost issues even further, and the whole thing was already struggling to float and struggling to fight craft of the same cost. The whole HA-Wood scheme is just not an effective one.

[@cameronhunt8044]

Does the titanslang have ap crams? because your ship kept going right through like 8 meters of armour and 2 layers of era or is it the aps or lasers?

[@BorderWise12]

She does have AP CRAMs, yes. At least I think so, I haven't changed the workshop version to hollowpoints yet.

[@ravenschihl4038]

I thought there would be more comments by now

[@killer_F2P]

What's the latest version of ftd?

Mr border the wise, why do you call it the appliquea?

[@zjanez2868]

thats what the blocks are called

@@zjanez2868 isn't it "applique" pronounced "ah-pleek" and not "ah-pleekay"
