Difficulty Increase! | Ep 2 | Cosmoteer Gameplay!

[@thenecroinniceclothes5019]

Lathrix: all modules have some identifying aesthetic that can be clearly seen from outside without internal view, which is very easy due to pausing. This can be extremely useful when, say, fighting an enemy with cannons/missles; they need munition factories and, potentiality, also have storage, and these are *HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE*; destroying these modules can tear a large ship in half with the right (wrong) placement. Of course, this also applies to you in equal measure. Thank you, and Blood for the Blood God.

[@TehShinegami]

No missiles ? Lathrix are you ok ? Do you feel sick ? No missiles to BURN ALL THE HERETICS ? The blood god is displeased.

Meepo Bellic no woood?

[@osolomons]

DragonHawk you mean aggressive wood?

[@hyper8701]

ಠ~ಠ Yes

[@zombielizard218]

Ahhh, but the Blood Gods followers are the Heretics. You seem to have lose knowledge on the Lore of Warhammer 40K.

[@JustChives]

You might want to include some fire extinguishers to your design. They turn out to be pretty important for Professional and up.

[@Lathland]

Very true! The first thing I do in the next video :D

[@Dxpress_]

Yeah, I was thinking throughout the entire video that if he gets set on fire, even in one small spot, his ship is dead.

[@teaproblems5071]

Mr. Chives im doing vetran and no fire exstigushiers, i completly forgot them xD thansk for the reminder

[@Gothera]

Just open...the doors. He who controls the doors, control space itself! *Shit wrong game*

[@hikmolokov1056]

Firewolf1999 lol

[@Lathland]

Yes - I should use blueprint mode more, but really dislike It as I can't visually showcase what I'm planning quite as well, I do however use it in cuts and off camera in general (As stated in the first few minutes hehe) Yes - Moving items around after you have been in combat OR used FTL travel is a waste of money as items which have been in combat or been through travel do not sell for 100% of the original value according to the patch notes, something i really need to be aware of more in the future. Yes - I was very tired when recording this video haha! But do bare in mind you can buy and sell its for their full cost until those conditions are met, and sometimes the money can look odd due to the corridors and doors being sold and bought along with the cost of the item - in addition to crew from the bunks. That is all!

[@d3rpd0g85]

Lathland where's FTD?

[@d3rpd0g85]

Lathland you have betrayed the god of Khorne as you vowed to finish the game

[@oerwout10]

i tried using the moving walkways but they dont seem to choose the ones that go the right way over the ones that go the wrong way. making it even slower.

[@Lathland]

D3RPD0G8 It's only been two days.. I normally only upload 3-4 FtD per week anyway, its not easy to record compared to other games. Also - Two days. xD Don't worry, its still there.

[@SesfilDarkstar]

Lathland I love your videos and I think your great please keep playing this game it looks great and if you could be nurgle or khorne who would you be

[@battlesavage2254]

What's in this comment section : People asking for likes : People wanting terratech : People giving hints to lathrix : People saying first BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GODS, MILK FOR THE KHORN FLAKES!

[@d3rpd0g85]

BattleSavage 225 and people like me screaming asking where FTD is

[@scrawn9721]

BattleSavage 225 yup

[@hyper8701]

[@Keklord_]

tl:dr of this episode "I'm not pretty give me more thrusters"

[@dutchtheguy849]

Oooh, shiny new video of a very nice free game. Much love to you Lath.

[@glorvalmacglorvas171]

So two things: Missiles are very powerful and quite long range, and there are built in mods that you can enable to make the ship gridsize insanely large, or the galaxy super big.

[@michelerny4820]

Glorval MacGlorvas don't forget about large cannons, they are better than missiles if you have enough.

[@glorvalmacglorvas171]

Well, there are only so many large cannons you can have facing the enemy, but missile launchers dont have to be openly facing them so they are a good support weapon.

[@rubenvanholder3108]

Thanks lath for making me play this awesome game

[@SuperTom0111]

Hey lathrix, just a few FIYs. 1. You should build corridors between compartments (beds, reactor etc.). Crew members move extremely slow between areas when they have to go through a bed-area or any area really that's not a corridor, which is why your shields are often less effective during fighting since they aren't being recharged. 2. doors! Having to walk through compartments in a zig-zag course to get from A to B takes even more time and doors aren't that expensive, so usually one defeated enemy is enough for all of them. 3. If you left-click on something on the minimap of when you're zoomed out you will automatically follow that target! 4. Cannons do set enemies on fire on almost every hit, however only internally, and since you see them from the external mode you'll never see the actual fire unless you zoom in reaaaally close. 5. With your ammo storage for the cannon, as soon as the cannon fires all personel will try to fill the storage and the cannon up again, which leaves your other weapons under-manned. Won't be much of an issue now, but if you're beginning to face bigger targets, or targets closer to your force-power it will decide whether you'll win or lose. 6. When you build something and then sell it, you'll lose around 20% (or so) of the credits. 7. The battery compartments are good early on, but they basically mean that, if you need power, someone will go grab a battery from there, transport it to where it has to go, and someone else will fill up the compartment again, so you have 2 people working on one charge instead of just one. I hope that helps a bit :)

[@TheMrThornton]

Awesome little game. Had great fun on it for several days already - and that's without even getting into the micromanaging of systems and weapons. Would love to see more.

[@aftershock2013]

Thanks so much for bringing this amazing game to my attention. I was up till four in the morning last night playing it because I was just too enthralled to stop.

[@catsareawesome8360]

Amazing video lathrix. Keep up the good work. I got this game because of you! :)

[@Red-jb2zj]

I do love the overall aesthetics of your craft. Its very aggressive looking with the prow bristling with weapons, having shielding being your primary form of defense and armored flanks. It does feel very cramped at the moment. A few suggestions with your design that I feel will make it even more of a killer.1. Your ammo factory should be moved towards the aft of the ship and place an ammo storage at its current location. This will ensure an even distribution of ammo for both cannons.2. You need energy storage out on the wings. Its taking your crew far to long to supply those sections when they need it.3. Fill those single gap areas you don't like with 1 unit sub systems like the fire extinguishers. However open hallways are not necessarily a bad thing since they provide a form of ablative armor if you start taking serious damage.4. You need a main passage way connecting both of your wings to make crew movement more efficient. Just try and visualize areas in your current design to expand one or two spaces and add in those moving walkways. It doesn't have to be perfectly straight either and can snake along the current subsystems layout your craft has.

[@lordlj339]

Yes he is still playing it😁😁😁

[@levilukeskytrekker]

Jsyk, Lathrix, the decal mode is the paint mode; it's just sort of block-based painting. There's a full square decal in there you can use to paint a whole space a solid color.

[@derpedkajar312]

According to lathrix, to make anything adorable it just has to be smaller. Works for me!

[@leinine1834]

Lath don't hesitate to go nuts on corridors and stuff, spacing things with corridors is actually way cheaper than you think, plus you have now reached the point where you get tens of thousands of money with no effort, corridors and armor are no longer a thing that will ruin you! Also you forgot that some of your thrusters were really far on front and moving them back by 2-3 tiles would allow you to easily place even more reactors and things But a big Thank You for showcasing this game, i'm addicted to it since yesterday

[@Logarpixel]

finally some good lathrix videos i thought he was going to to from the depths forever :D

[@dragonspaceindustries5890]

Great videos as always, here are some tips: Hold shift while right clicking on enemy parts to set more targets. Press middle mouse button on a part of a ship to let your camera follow it.

[@Killer91Rock]

I downloaded the game yesterday and MAAAN it is awesome, although i have limited my pc to work only at 42fps but still. AWESOME video Mr.Lathrix and I just received the message from the gods and they want moar.

[@inkyboi7687]

Also ,for Lathrix- fires only travel through corridors and doors, so putting all of those doors on the bottom reactor makes it very vulnerable if you were to have a serious fire.

[@X32Amnity]

Crew moves faster outside of rooms so corridors ARE actually useful to have between rooms, also the love boop you do every time you go towards an enemy can be avoided by holding Shift and moving the engagement range back. all of that said pls keep playing this, all the thumbs up!

[@Permarin1]

Lathland, if you middle mouse click you focus on that's sips block you clicked, and if you ever do use up the building zone, there is in the main menu the mods option for bigger ships largening the building space if you so choose to enable that.

[@bigal9089]

The fleet mechanics work fine in this game btw. The only hiccup is all of the ships need FTL drives. the ones that don't have them will be lost when you jump out of a system. Also it is more expensive to warp a fleet. However, this allows you to build Specialised war machines. I currently use two "Tanks"(fast mostly armor/shields) to get the enemies attention, while using a missile/ion beam ship to melt the foes from a distance. Tons of fun this game! So much potential. :)

[@Gothera]

I love watching Lath play games like this. Mainly because I want to play them but I can't design for shit.

[@chirilarares6154]

KEEP PLAYING, KEEP PLAYING, KEEP PLAYING

[@amphitheremajesticon4928]

I ABOUSLUTELY ADORE THIS. I got it as soon as I finished watching the first episode!

[@birb2200]

Hey, Love the content and decided to just give you a little tip. You might have already read this as a comment but I decided to say it anyway. If you middle mouse button click (Scroll wheel button) You lock onto the block. Also, it's more effective to target the reactor then letting loose at the ship in its entirety. Lastly, you can queue actions by holding shift. If you hold shift you can target one gun then have your guns target another without having to try to move your mouse about to hit it. One very last thing Or two. If you decide to go with cannons place an ammo storage right up in the rear of the cannon and the factor just as close so the crew can easily reach it secondly, if you decide to use missile, place them either forward facing or to the side at the very back because missiles are VERY powerful but they circle their enemy really weirdly. Same tip though for placement of factor/storage. Anyways continue this series and I hope you have a BLAST! I myself am having a blast too! It's an amazing game. I'm a very happy customer :P but I'm even happier for the fact you continued the series. I hope you make a battalion to show off because your designs are very smart. Sometimes I copy them myself (I don't post the design I usually edit yours but I use it for personal use) Anyway, good luck! Extra little edit, when you go to attack an enemy you see the red ship along a line, if you hold shift you can rotate where the ship is facing RELATIVE to the ship itself and you can also move the distance the ship is relative to the enemy craft too! There's a lot to do for just an alpha (Or beta?)

[@birb2200]

Sorry for the long comment, I had a lot to say.

[@teaproblems5071]

thanks to you lath i got the game, im already way ahead of you just started today and have about 6 shields 12 guns and have cleaned out 7 sectors already, its an amazing game!! and where you place items matter, shields are super game breaking use as many as you can if you can afford it i have dual stack shields and it works amazingly, wider and longer ships are better!!!

[@Bandit2033]

the power confuses me, it's like: Captain: how are we going to power all our weapons? Bob: we could wire-- Derp McGee: Batteries! Haul Batteries Everywhere! Captain Derp: I love it!

[@dr.beardie9894]

Watching this again and seeing him put an ammo storage instead of a factory hurts me.

[@samanthagerritsen3585]

You made me download the game and i have been enjoying it quite a lot! If you might already have noticed that making corridors and armor inside your ship wil be able to protect your fragile bits! , The thing about "empty" space is that crew moves a lot faster in them so that a reason to plan around them for reloading o-o.

[@margakis]

I feel like this game would work nigh perfectly on mobile

[@buhamutlotde]

If you middle mouse click on a ship it will lock your camera to the ship so you don't have to chase them down with a jerky camera. If you press ALT and make a box around 2 or more ships, the camera will focus in between them so you can see both ships at the same time. Hope this helps!

[@jacobbayer6873]

what you call blank spaces are good because they give a slight speed bonus and it does tell u that if u read it. its located above the doors if u didnt notice

[@jorelski18]

I've never been so quick for a lathland vid.

[@1coolseth]

FYI press f to orbit your ship, and middle click on enemy ships to orbit them, it's a bit distracting with the camera all over the place. Also use shift to queue up multiple targets when fighting ships. Really enjoying the gameplay, keep up the good work!

[@TheFlame0110]

Hey lathrix, during battles you can just hold ALT whilst selecting the enemy weapons. That way it will fire all selected weapons off in the order you selected them, also I really like this series keep up the good work.

[@Flobinton]

This games speaks to me like a fine wine.

[@sleepless2899]

i started playing this during ur first game, im addicted

[@hor1zonz368]

Thank you for more cosmoteer! My new favorite!

[@kaylo1499]

you should move the command center (if moveable) underneath the newest bunk bed at the end of the video and put another reactor in its old place. You should also move all the small thrusters and move them down to enable you to have more space to place ammo storage, factories, rectors and bunkbeds.

[@ARockyRock]

I usually wait until the second series of a game to start watching it, as the KZbinr who made the video understands the basics of the game and it is not hard to watch... but in this game, you already get most of it! it is so similar to other games that you pretty much understand the basics of the game... so... well, I will watch the first series.

[@wassim4706]

There is a very interesting idea I think you might like, and it's the idea of having the 4 sides identical, kinda like a.. shurikan.. basically when your fighting an enemy, and say.. your sheild goes down, you can turn your ship, allowing your other side (identical in weapons, sheilds, etc) to take the fight while the other side's sheild comes back on online. I tested this on creative mode, and the results were very promising.

[@Kaiimei]

Also Lath, you should use armor plating in front of your shields, so have a 2x2 inside your ship for the no-placement areas of the shields, then have your guns and armor in that section in front of the area. The shields still cover the guns, but the shields are also not exposed, since they are 5K apiece. So it's better to lose 2 lasers or two small cannons than to lose a shield generator.

[@danielgliksberg4498]

holding shift+Right click will let you choose an order for you ship to follow of what to attack, so you don't have t micromanage what to attack, just set up and order an watch

[@hf117j]

More please. And thank you for the idea on what to build next on one of my games.

[@deitus]

More Cosmoteer Lathrix! We and the Blood God are very pleased with this savage murdering spree!

[@pandabear9541]

Now that i've taken a look at those motorized hallways... why not make a T-ship? Have all the essential systems such as cores, storage, etc etc within a long middle/back, with the weapons along the wide topside, with engines along the bottom of the top, using motorized hallways along the middle in order to get quick access to the rooms /doors the crew need to get to?

[@abdulellahatl8714]

Lathland in cosmoteer if you press Z you get the corridor if you press X you get a door if you press J it will automatically launch FTL if you press b it will enter build mode if you press M you enter the galaxy map if you press E you activate delete mode G opens move mode T opens select tool if you press I you toggle on or off the interiors of your ship

[@jasperr5400]

lath, if you hold Shift while selecting aimpoints fore you weapons you can make An order in witch they destroy thé targets (you can select multiple targets in a row).

[@karbengo]

9:40 Not only does it make a pretty light show in fast forward, it also sounds like a pinball machine.

[@chazkranz5618]

Hey lathrix I highly recommend looking at the camera instructions in the how to play menu if you haven't already. Alt+drag over the ships you'd like to focus on to center the camera over them

[@L33TIMP]

keep that series going pls its really fun to watch u play it

[@Blewlongmun]

I'd recommend building the power stations more spread out across the ship, and try to built them around the important stuff like one on each end, then people aren't always cramming to get across the entire ship to move power to guns.

[@lonniehodgejr5900]

great gameplay series. might i suggest taking a look at your door situation?

[@theartismix]

plz do more lathrix i love this game!!

[@RubberD3]

Lathrix don't know if you knew this but if hold shift you can cue which parts to target just like you can cue the movement

[@birb2200]

I said that too! It's a life saver though, you can queue up tonnes of targets like all the turrets then their reactor and just speed it up to 4x

[@davemcfiddlebuster1491]

Yay we get a new series

[@Vulpsune]

What this game really needs is when you connect the reactors into a 2x2 square, it makes one big more efficient reactor, same with the bunks, I just think it would make it look a lot better.

[@Gurren813]

Shields block missiles. I build a dreadnaught that used them and the cannons just pummeled it. Also cannons can penetrate multiple blocks. and lastly design some stuff in the creative mode then buy them as drones in the campaign.

[@James-gd3sp]

lath! the Ammo generator and the ammo storage need to be close together, the amount of time it takes the crew to transport the ammo is a big no no because if you get attacked after a battle then you won't be able to use the canons as fast For example 26:35 the workers are having to walk all the way across your ship and I haven't tested this, but it would make sense that if you put them together the required crew amount would lower

[@lightningcutey9852]

lathrix, you only lose crew if there is a fire or if a part is destroyed with them in them, your lack or full crew is because of money(as you know it costs 1000 to hire/rehire a crew member) also the ship can go faster if you put rear thrusters because it knows it can go faster to stop in enough time and finally, cannon shots can go through components and corridors and continue dealing damage, although you probably know that

[@thesuperiorgamr451]

Make this a series. Please. I need this. ~Ily lath

[@Informantpink]

Hey Lath, thanks for showcasing this game. Picked it up and been losing hours of my life retrofitting my ship. Do you know if you can recover a ship if you warp one out of the sector but leave one behind? Keep on making those vids :3

[@bobsma12]

I found side thrusters and reverse thrusters very helpful during the professional fights, i'd recommend incorporating some into your design if you haven't prerecorded the next episode already.

[@ojomaze7777]

Remember that rooms like the crew quarters slow the movement speed of your crew, i think. Just something i noticed whilst playing it myself.

[@douglasscullion6440]

i play the game and the missiles and I've found the missiles are great for professional but in elite they have anti missile defence id recommend getting some soon

[@TropicanWars]

11:03 its the backwards Millenium Falcon XD

[@calcium4222]

Please do more. this is really fun to watch

[@KitsuneNoMeiji]

Middle-click on the enemy ship or your ship to focus your camera on them. Or, you can hold ALT then click and drag around all the ships you want to focus on (enemy and yours).

[@zalcsibalcsi]

You can put engines inside the ship and make really wierd "inner trusting" ships.And when you see one (even your own) it is really funny!

[@TheNokdaig]

After the first episode I downloaded the game right away it's really fun!

[@sebbes333]

The end design: 1 missile 45 degree from the behind to the right power core... *BOOOOOM* And misiles tend to miss and come back from behind...

[@brasilman11]

please make a series. This game looks really fun

[@ronkaconq7968]

Lath just a heads up, the thrusters on the sides facing up and down actually function as turning thrusters.

[@happyhafer1403]

an advice to make battles easier to watch, middle-click on an enemy, or any module you want to focus on, and the camera will center and follow it. just like in buildmode with your ship. and an advice for ship design, build an reactor behind anything that required a lot of power, like the shields and big beam weapons. its a bit vulnerable but solves the energy problems very well. as long as there is enough space between reactors to prevent chainreactions of course. and you can build in front of an shildgenerator, as long as its two blocks away.

[@odradek5710]

Really liking this series, and totally not saying this because i downloaded the game as soon as your first video about it went live... One suggestion i could give is you could lock the camera on targets more often, giving the video a more fluid look instead of dragging the camera aroung with WASD. But hey, you do you ;P

[@lenniegaming1001]

Lathland you're the blood gods favourite!!!!

[@comingviking]

Every thruster that is even slightly removed from the center line, is in effect a turning thruster. It does not have to point sideways. Actually,pointing them sideways, with the hull shape you presently have, would be less effective than setting them up pointing forwards and backwards. Slap on a couple of more reverse thrusters, and you will have all the maneuverability any sane man could possibly want. You will be space wars version of the Fidget Spinner.

[@guythatsgoodatnames6032]

Hey lath. just so you know I like the ship design. It looks a bit like a sting ray :)

[@aabattery2095]

YES, YES, it became became a series

[@KitsuneNoMeiji]

I absolutely love this game... easily one of the best in its category. I am looking forward to it being a finished title. I have high expectations for this game.

[@mh-ki2dv]

Cannons are much more effective. I also tend to give a pair of shield generators their own power storage. Same for cannons. Once you get to the large cannons your going to have to give each one its own storage (armour the strorages up tho as they can detonate). Another thing is that once your ship is big enough move the shields into the ship and put armour infront of the shields. This means your shields won't be destroyed.

[@galenrichter41]

what do you mean it has no turning thrusters?? all those ones that are far to the right or left of the center of mass add a lot of angular momentum.

[@michaelroberts8881]

I would recommend you build a ship of the line style ship. with broadside cannons. just fire so many that they can't dodge cause when those shots hit they devastate. coupled with shields you could become unstoppable. either way really liking this game

[@jeffwillsea6757]

Have you ever played Particle Fleet Emergence? I think you would like it.

[@kevinburk5865]

lath thrusters turning is not a problem so long as you keep adding to the left or right of them mirror line one side of throat hurts activate turning you one side or the other

[@All_Mighty672]

Hey is there a way to share ships with other people? Or put it in as an enemy?

[@michaelmccartney6338]

Make a wall of death lazers

[@Imppyman09]

are the guns blocked by your own ship or is it similar to Reassembly?

[@hamongwells3378]

lathtrix take note that reactors/ cannons/missiles & there storage are highly explosive and can chain each other also fire extinguishers and point defense are a must

[@Kaiimei]

Honestly, the one thing I dislike is the lack of options in weaponry and such. It's incredibly early alpha, so that's 100% fine, but I will say this......Having more of practically everything would be awesome! xD

[@NumbingDisasterAnon]

I've been playing the game for awhile. And really, all I gotta say is that the energy weapons are OP. I just cut through enemies like a hot knife through butter. Got like 6 ion emitters, 8 electro bolts, and 10 laser blasters. Just get a crap ton of reactors, energy storage, and shields. Since I don't have to worry about factories or ammo storage, I can run a very space effecient build

[@NumbingDisasterAnon]

ALSO! If you get multiple FTL drives, you can not only brute force your effeciency, but you can also increase your FTL fuel storage amount

[@NumbingDisasterAnon]

Another hint, it's a good way to make space is by moving back the engines, as in streatching your ship backwards and using the new space to clear up the front

[@Jcewazhere]

Wide at the front with a tail and lots of mini-lasers... You're talking about the Lexx, the single most powerful destructive force in two universes :) 42 nerd points if you get that reference.

[@ardelocampo7362]

Lathrix, you should know that the shield generators have very little durability and are particularly vulnerable to electro cannons. (those 3x1 weapons that can disable components that run on power) Because of this you might want to sculpt some armor to cover it giving it a little protection. (you do not want something at expensive to explode on you with a few hits right? Also placing at least 1 power storage next to them to lessen the downtime to recharge the shields.

[@alexmei4602]

You should really do fleets, maybe a ship specially designed to hold missiles (I tested such things out and I found that missles are underwhelming unless you have a lot of storage) Sry for the spelling mistakes as well as grammatical errors XD
