Early AIRSHIP Aggression! | Part 1 | Campaign | From The Depths 2021

We're BACK! This time, we finish the map which requires some early aggression! I build the Envoy airship a few days before recording this as a bit of a challenge to try and build a functional and low cost airship which is an 'ok' all arounder, happy with the design though It could certainly be improved! :D

[@major0noob]

gotta warn you, max difficulty bankrupts enemies fast; forcing the most expensive ships to be built (they still fight each other). it can be a cakewalk after a single victory, after bankrupting themselves on a single ship they'll panic build tiny stuff keeping themselves poor, or do nothing waiting for 1mil mats to make a fleet of 1 ship imo it's better to experiment on expert and regular

[@septicsauce322]

It would be cool if they can shove the AI into a sort of neural network to train it for a bit; managing economy, territories, and fleet engagement strengths. They won't watch the actual ships fighting.

[@dragonlord1935]

@@septicsauce322 That sounds like more work than it's worth (from a game dev perspective), while neural networks ARE powerful, trying to set one up for a game as complex as FTD is extremely difficult. It would be better to just design a better A.I through trial and error (like almost every other game) and then fine tuning it until it works.

You will either need to use less control surfaces than you think, or use PIDs to moderate the inputs. Frankly, it's easier to use thrusters for control than aerodynamic surfaces.

[@kiwishizzle]

You should at some point do a one vehicle/base challenge campaign. Design a single super vehicle or base that you rely on to gather all your resources and do all of your fighting. One vehicle vs everything the other factions can through at you. You have to either fight on resource points or have enough storage to last through a long fight. The limited resources and constantly being outnumbered can probably be countered by just using the weapons and strategies that you consider too cheesy for other campaigns. Think of the missile spam! I think it would be a cool change of pace, and the concept of a self sufficient capital ship is a sci fi classic!

[@masonworker2670]

I love that still even after all these years your still playing this game, gives me nostalgia.

[@holyordersoftheemperorsinq246]

the Envoy is a good allrounder. Build a fleet of Envoy-type drones, specialize them and name the subtypes in a fancy way (I propose the Emissary for Area Control (builder/repair tentacles, harvester module, storage, shield, 2 times more missiles but only one flak autocannon and an option to submerge - suitable for a daring "Steal you ressource zone and deploy an FOB" raid), then the Thorn for an Envoy-based fighter-bomber ship with a giant thruster, a huge homing nuke and a shitton of flak, but with modest armor (1 layer of armor and a shield), then a Caretaker for a ship that will deploy a fleet of small repair drones (like terribly easy drones with a single repair block and motion controls so that they simply fly around and fix whatever you have around) and will carry a small armament for self-defence and a single repair block, and a last type - the Snare, an Envoy-sized ship to spam EMP. And also make a Colossus-Type Station with a giant spinal long range particle cannon and launch it into orbit. Split the fleet into Strike Forces: Area Control Strike Forces (ACSF, 1 Emissary & 3 Thorns), Raider Strike Forces (RSF, 1 Caretaker, 5 Thorns), Hunter-Killer Strike Forces (HKSF, 1 Caretaker, 3 Snares, 2 Thorns). Humber them or call them nice names for extra immersion. Use the HKSFs to trap a high-profile target with an EMP and then blast it with the Colossus, assault and harass with RSFs and then advance with ACSFs to establish the FOBs. This will provide an opportunity of a campaign with a bit more logistics, but will be very fun and immersive bc you have realistic military hierarchy and shit.

A tip: Making double turreted turrets like a SAM launcher is effectiv, Using the minigun in simple weapons allows you to make a Turret capable of shredding apart anything lightly armored, and even turrets under a hailstorm of weak rounds. Its also good for taking out missles as well. Also if you use grav rounds with the Advaneced cannons. Be careful. its freaking funny as hell watching ships get yeetted but stick with smaller rounds at a slow rate. Lower the enemies accuracy but allows you to hit still.. and never use it with a railgun.

Sir Admiral Mosley's Journal Entry number one. Today was a very terrible day, The troubles began when our scouts spotted what appeared to be som sourt of balloon thing with plates on it, we assumed it to be a piece of floating debris from the other warring factions of Neter, probably the Grey Talons or the Onyx Watch, we couldn't have been more wrong. That was the first of our troubles. Later that day some other group declared war on us, we assumed that this was a rump faction, they only controlled one tile, they couldn't do any damage, we assumed, that was until the Sinner's Outpost called for help. The radio Operator was screaming frantically about this abomination of an airship firing some crude form of a missile, completely demolishing the base, and then we only heard static. Ok, we thought, maybe the Onyx Watch had made some airship and was testing it out on us and knocked out our comms, nothing to be afraid of, right? Right. So we sent in one of our Rapiers to send in some help, besides, it was just an airship, what could possibly go wrong? They sent me out on that ship. I set a steady course for the Sinner's Outpost, or what was left of it. We intercepted the Airship, and I use that term loosely, and we fired off some of our missiles. The enemy returned fire with what I assume to be Thumper Missiles as they carved out the entire deck. I was lucky to survive. I was one of the few to survive, only making it via driftwood. The only survivors were me, some gunner and the Ship's Cat. No idea how she survived, that's one life gone. I washed up near an airship gantry making an Atlas. Fat lot of good that would do. I was immediately rushed to some house and I informed the head of command for the gantry. He ordered that the turret be readied for defense from possible attack from this new mystery faction. One Turret. One. What the hell was he thinking? One damned Turret? They didn't put me in the Atlas, thank goodness, I was too badly injured. hey had to replace my arm with this sort of new prosthetic one they had been working on for the infantry. I had these gauges and was made from copper and wood. It was very well made. The enemy took a beating and completely gutten the Atlas' front and I think they disabled the one Defense Turret we had. They quickly evacuated the nearby coastal village and I ran too. I don't where we're headed, but I hope is far away from this damned place, or this side of the planet for that matter.

If you're planning to play very agressively, harder difficulties could actually suit you. You just need a few good specialized and cheap designs at hand that can travel fast and counter whatever the enemy faction is good at. AI factions have their own supply lines and such, go and destroy that before they can build anything dangerous and they will crumble. That way you could even save the DWG and OW for the very end, only fighting them once they've grown a bit and produced a number of their more interesting designs.
