Fragments vs Explosives isn't all or nothing. You can max out the explosives to the radius, and add fragments on top of that to supplement it further. Massive shells are the most effective this way.

More _?drunk?_ (does hangover count?) designer mode! Nice. Also very vertical from the thumbnail. 8:19 Or maximum diameter. As in, I think you broke almost all blocks that could be destroyed, so a lot of damage got "wasted". 9:51 IIRC the cap is 30-35 something meters for the actual explosion. The one in the stat card is how distant a near miss can be from a craft for the explosion centre to "snap" on it. Which kind of nerfs flak, but definitely buffs most explosive based weapons.

[@OrdigTroll]

I'm a FTD noob, and I struggle so much with CRAM cannons. Missiles? Easy peasy. Advanced Cannons? Surprisingly intuitive. CRAM? 60+ second reloads to hit for

[@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544]

If your reloads are 60 seconds just lower how many payload compactors your cannon has. The strength of the CRAM shell is directly proportional to only two things; reload time (affected by gauge and payload compactors) And amount of pellets. As long as your cannon has enough pellet-packer connections and a specific reload time it will always do the same amount of damage no matter what. Here’s a tip though; most people who make CRAM craft make them bulky and slow. Don’t do that. Far too easy to counter. CRAMS don’t explode when they get damaged anyway, and because CRAMS aren’t of use at long range or against something fast or erratic, you want to get as close to the enemy as possible before firing. To do this, your craft must be streamlined and fast, when you work out how to get that done CRAMS suddenly become a lot more lethal.

[@muhammadaltairaufa4178]

I dont think EMP depth fuse is going to be very effrctive, but there is an alternativr with APS systems using Semi-Penetrator shells. Since any kinetic damage will apply first until it runs out before any of the warheads start their damage, you can easily apply this to a railgun. Get it up to 1000m/s AP Head + Solid body + EMP

[@ImAdonai]

Love the shape, flying fortress with massive cram cannon as a main weapon sounds great! I think adding 3 grades of advanced cannons, ranging from machine gun with small rounds to once per, say, 15 seconds with some more serious damage could create a beautiful bullet hell scenario. Maybe main cram destroys most and then advanced cannons clean up? Or maybe advanced cannons open the path and then doom cram finishes the battle? Either way, fortress "terraforming" the land through use of explosives, wrecks, corpses and absurd amounts of lead!

does it have a max fragment number though? send shells that end up firing 2000 fragments or something?

[@MrEuklides]

@@carlwheezerofsouls3273 it caps out at 60 fragments. Any more will increaze the damage of each fragment. The point is that the HE have a hidden max radious but oblitterate anything inside it at large sizes. At a sertain point any more he is wasted. If you max out he and go with frag from that point you get max explosion and more damage compared to pure he

[@JabberwockOclock]

@@MrEuklides As I recall, the current radius cap for HE damage to blocks is 35m, while the previous cap several years ago was 11m. Explosives can however do damage to entities beyond that cap (so missiles and Rambot basically).

Essentially a shotgun of mortar shells that spread across the craft going straight through as soon as they impact causing Mass devastation.

[@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544]

Even a 500mm 8m railgun shell will never be able to do close to the damage a doomcram can. The only way to make it on the same level of destruction is if you made it seriously massive by amplifying the firerate, but an APS system will simply never do the damage a CRAM one will for size and certainly not cost.

[@lucasconley1394]

Advanced cannons are way more expensive than cram cannons and I feel like if your were to make a doom railgun it would have to be even bigger than the doom cram and have 500mm shells which fire with a burst at like 500rpm. Hell why not raise that to 1000rpm.

[@D0OMGUY]

We cease fire, and open to four absolutely massive missiles that open up to tens of medium sized missiles, said missiles slowly cross the gap and finally open up into hundreds of sun blotting mini missiles.

If i recall correctly, CRAM cannons have a capped explosion radius (or diameter? probably diameter) of 50 meters. There's also the problem of, while the shell make be *able* to do 5 million damage, there simply isn't enough ship to make use of ALL 5 million damage within the radius.

[@milanpeeters6305]

After years of From The Depth i am still so inlove with this game

[@shawnreed343]

Hi Lathrix, Doom Cram fan here- 3D Diamond tetris is still going to be your best for efficiency. Although 6-way connection can actually be cheaper on CRAM parts, its space efficiency is lower and the cost of armoring the extra gun radius ends up making it less efficient than 5-way connection. Mixing explosive AND frag will actually bring the reload time -down- for some reason compared to having entirely one or the other. I -believe- that the explosive actual cap is at a 60m radius currently (the hidden cap) but things change in the game so fast I'm not for sure for sure. At a certain point, there gets to be so much kinetic damage that adding only a little bit of hardeners is sufficient with proper fusing and more is either wasted damage or overpen. I've tested with some 70k resource DOOM Crams (unarmored) set for just over 24 seconds. It's capable of firing the equivalent of very good normal CRAM shells at 10 second intervals. Likewise- with two DOOM cram properly configured, Borderwise has proven it's possible to overwhelm the Meg's LAMs and take it out that way. :J

[@staoutlawx1007]

I believe that the explosive radius cap for CRAM cannons is 29-ish meters, I might be wrong though.

[@tolbryntheix4135]

Yeah, I remember hearing it was changed to 30m. So if you want more annihilation you gotta use fragments after that, but honestly, that's also kind of disappointing. I'm working on a turret that has a 65m radius for the innards of the weapon and goes up to around 75 blocks, but neither advanced nor cram cannons allow for a satisfying weapon. At that scale, even 500mm advanced with 8m autoloaders turn into machine guns and cram cannons have too many hard-caps.

[@160fame]

A fun, maybe not so effective idea. Would be a extra large missile with lots of fuel, minimal fins, containing several smaller missles inside, which fire on a long stagger time! The idea would be to almost create a "Fighter" missle that never really lands but instead flys around the target doing straffing runs. Adding interceptor missles to the inside may also be interesting, basically having anti-missle, missle ships flying about. May not work but could be fun to try!

[@suddenlythatenderman5800]

The cram cannon alsp knows as the primitive missle

[@Crazymoniker]

From the Depths limits the explosion radius to 30 meters from the center of the explosion, if I recall correctly. I always build "big boomers" to 30 meters radius, and use secondary effects like fragmentation, flak (for advanced cannons, which have a separate 30 meter cap), or EMP to fill up the rest of the damage. HE is always my primary method of dealing damage, because of how reliable it is. It will *always* hurt something.

I personally think that we need more unconventional design ships; namely the "sunfish cannon" style with a platform separating the two, hovering in place.
