From the Depths - Laser Tutorial 102

[@OhmIsFutile]

**Super duper important note:** laser storage now counts against your AP so burst lasers are far more tame now.

[@DSIREX_]

Ahh yes flying squirrel 1:24 The reason i learned lasers

[@taro-x]

This is helpful to me by ALOT :D I'm always confused on q nodes and things about the storage system. But now,my hover mech can finally have a Laser blade to cut crafts in half installed >:D Thanks :D Btw,which is better? More Lams in one place or less lams but higher output?

[@zsdfasdfas]

Thank you! I started the game a month ago and I've only been doing Ashes stuff, so didn't have a lot of reason to dive too deep into LAMS, this is definitely good to know before starting any large vehicles.

will you ever do a adventure mode lets play? i'm interested to see how ya would play that with your knownledge

[@OhmIsFutile]

Hmm, I dunno how I feel about adventure. I'm a slow and very deliberate builder... I could make prefabs in the designer ahead of time I guess? Maybe someday, I do kinda want to get all the achievements for the game lol

[@closetochaos1279]

@@OhmIsFutile it's a pretty fun mode imo, Especially as a challenge. There is blue portals where you can take all the time in the world to build(as you don't get attacked at all), but it will push you up a few levels in difficulty when leaving. n' yeah I bet

[@RevolverOcelot79]

Fantastic series sir! Do you upload any of your hover tank designs to the workshop?

[@OhmIsFutile]

They should all be there, though they are not 100% optimized because I made choices for the rule of cool. I don't think I can give you a link in a comment, but you'll find it in the description of my campaign videos.

@@OhmIsFutile awesome, found them. Thanks for the great creations!

Any chance on a laser defense tutorial?

[@OhmIsFutile]

Maybe? There just isn't a lot to say. The cheap option is wood spam. It doesn't lend itself to a pretty-looking vehicle, but it kinda works. The low-effort option is using metal/alloy + strength 10 shields. It's not gonna be enough against the more powerful laser vehicles, but it'll do alright and has the added benefit of shields reflecting roughly 30% of incoming shells. The best defense you can mount is heavy armour + ringshields + smoke. The combination of HA and ringshields will give you very high AC and copious amounts of smoke can reduce a laser's AP by around 80%. This will decrease laser damage a lot. Just make sure such a vehicle isn't moving too fast since speed reduces the effectiveness of smoke. That's about all there's to say about it.

[@coffeezombie244]

@@OhmIsFutile maybe just a gen defense tutorial then to add more content. There is nothing out there that covers shields, smokers, munition warner, etc. Just even running through how to them up.

[@dahlular]

This taught me a lot, thank you!

[@Wolves_Hero]

On middle 3x laser coupler with laser frequency doubler don't worked like this 121 AP, still show 40 AP, only work on laser cavity with laser frequency doubler. Could patched & this video outdated.

[@OhmIsFutile]

Nope, it still does work like this. You need to make sure your couplers have the same number of q-switches. So no, not outdated.
