What you DONT know Lathrix, is just how much we appreciate you making hulls on camera.

Ever since long before your neter many a year ago I've been watching your style grow, and it is still amazing to see, enjoy and stay safe.

[@cultistofdarkness1661]

[@jonasfree2]

I ALSO have the worst time in the world making hulls. Despite tutorials. Everything is basically just a giant wedge with no idea how to do the bottom or backside. Making things move with anything resembling speed is practically impossible for me.Same issue with aircraft as well. Can't figure out the CoM/CoL which is silly because I never have an issue with such in Kerbal Space Program, but just enter literal hell in FTD.

[@tommeakin1732]

Good idea that I didn't realise was easy to do until the other week: You can make a turret, place it, make a prefab of the cap, then cut the cap off, increase the height of the "neck" using some kind of connector (you can just use gauge pieces for APS or connectors for crams) and then just place the prefab (that you don't even need to permanently save) on top of the extension. This way you can have a cannon that can be added to lots of different kinds of hulls and you can always keep all of the juicy, vulnerable bits low down in the hull

I just didn't think you could decapitate a turret and then use the prefab tool to add a new head and your turret would still work fine!

That hull is based off the Warspite class British Battleship

[@canisrufusuk]

The Warspite was a Queen Elizabeth class battleship first seeing action at Jutland, she was the second of the class the others being Queen Elizabeth, Valiant, Barham, and Malaya. Queen Elizabeth, Warspite and Valiant were extensively refitted between the wars and Warspite went on to win the most battle honours of any ship in the history of the Royal Navy before being scrapped in the 1950s (not without a fight though)

You could also have deck-launched torpedoes, which is actually really common in modern warships.

[@Telios__]

Is it possible to make a big ship that makes small battle boats and the boats are made in inside the ship so like there is a huge hole/gate like a arch where the boats go out off and what do you think of this idea?

[@Negniwret]

Possible but complicated. Basically you can hold the boats while they're being built but the moment you wish to release them you have to either stop or get very lucky with the collisions. You've got a decent chance the things get obliterated the second they try to leave the main ship - which is why most planes are carried on top of the deck and a couple of metres above it in FTD

[@luansagara]

@@Negniwret what if you put the docking thing on a piston that extends when the boat is ready, releasing it when most of it is already outside the construction ship?

6:43 Lathrix, that IS a turret, you can even see the weapon controller behind/on top of it!

Lathrix, you should make a destroyer similar to the USS Zumwalt. It's basically a destroyer with a MASSIVE power bank that houses the US Navy's experimental railgun. I'm thinking a really high-tech destroyer with shields and such but NEEDS a dedicated power station because it has almost only batteries. Having one EXTREMELY powerful railgun (max shell size with one barrel) is mandatory.

[@alexbequette8399]

What do you think about a weapon system like the Better Future retractable turret? The weapon would have a super slow reload rate in exchange for better damage. When it’s reloading, the weapon system retracts into the ship or moving armor comes up over the weapon to protect it. idk, just thought it was a fun idea

[@roscoe4943]

The boat was a prefab

[@zodiaccowboy2131]

The reason why the turret block isn’t loading it’s because it’s a separate object and due to how they do sub objects you have to place the turret block first so it would be able to spin independently.

The mystery block is a turret block, but the guns are saved as prefabs so when you place them they arent there because its just the blocks, and not the subvehicle

[@Lathland]

That of course makes sense - However the cram prefabs are clearly saved as a subvehicle, as are all other turret prefabs in the build section, this is the odd one out and the sudden change is what makes little sense as clearly It's not an issue elsewhere, as the build section can clearly use both sub objects and standard prefabs.
