@@teathesilkwing7616 You can also seal the hull into upper and lower parts and rig the air pumps to act as backup roll control. If you can get away with only turning on the upper air pumps and if that keeps your vehicle above water it'll be much more stable. An added bonus to this strategy is that you can segment up the hull like the bulwark and all that can be a very efficient way to add survivability. I always forgot to add air pumps to my ship and now I realize why I had to add so much more alloy then other people to make them float. That's another way to make it more stable if your main armor is metal make the deck out of alloy in order to save weight. Since the deck doesn't usually take as much fire anyways. You can always replace it later if need be.

The largest gauge you can make an advanced cannon is 500mm, and the largest clip is 8m long. To get bigger shells you have to use CRAM (which goes to 2000mm and clip length isn’t a factor) which are sadly locked to below 200m/s of shell speed.

Build your wooden platform a bit bigger, add a couple of metres of sides, back and front. Put in a small engine. Add resource gatherers. Add four props under the craft quadcopter-style and a couple of pids to stabilize your craft. Add a couple of small missile launchers and a fire control. This should deal with early attacks (anything that comes in close, rip it to pieces with your character's minigun). When your resource zone is running out (make sure you are building containers to store them), add steering and propulsion, a few more missiles, and a bit of metal over your ammo and heartstone. Sail around slowly gathering up corpses. Hopefully you should soon kill a gatherer craft, which has plentiful resources. At this point you can decide what kind of craft you want to play with, build the base structure of this craft around your starting raft. When you want rid of the raft, delete the heartstone, and quickly build another - preferably around plenty of metal.

[@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544]

@@Debbiebabe69 each time I’ve tried I did something very similar to that, I built out a basic sort of boat hull, an engine, resource gatherers though not bothered with PIDs, though instead of missiles I went with super cheap CIWS cannons that also function offensively, as that’s the only thing that I’ve found that protects me from some of the early attacks with things like missile planes. But I always end up engaged with too many things at once, running out of materials spent repairing or with the engine, and before I’ve ever reached a portal my ship is always entirely destroyed, even if I think I’ve kitted it out fairly well. Maybe speed would be important, I suppose I could use prefabs to quickly get well shaped hulls because otherwise it’s just too much time, though I always end up with balancing issues early trying to get it to actually move which I can fix but by then I’m already being attacked by loads of things :(

@@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544 dont bother with propulsion until you have sucked the first resource zone dry. If you move, you spawn more foes. Just build a 2 or 3-block engine, all you need to power is your gatherers and your stabilisation props.

In pop culture, the Alicorn is the name of a super-sized submarine in Ace Combat 7’s DLC missions. This Alicorn’s most well-known armaments are a vertical launch system capable of firing swarms of missiles, UAV fighters and (most notably) three railguns, one of which is capable of delivering a nuclear payload. The captain of the Alicorn is a man called Captain Matias Torres. His best quotes are “SALVATION!” “Don’t you see! One million, one million lives!” and “(maniacal laughter)”

[@Garethaxz]

I have a triple doom cram sub that looks like a sofa (the arms are two huge missiles of course) that ended up surprisingly cheap @ like 450k. Cram's, even when controlled by AI (and so especially mortars), just don't work well at all if they're submerged, the only real way around it I found was to keep the craft shallow enough to have the barrels sticking out of the water (15-20m IIRC). Otherwise the AI appears to fully-expect the shells to move at their exit velocity the entire trip, water slows them down, and then sadness ensues.

[@patrickhector]

Just some help with fuse timers- it'd be easier to work with distance instead of time (for obvious reasons, you want it to penetrate a certain depth, you don't really care how long it takes). So, figure out how long it takes to penetrate a metre and you can work from there! Your railguns are travelling 1,112 m per 1 second, so to change that from m/s to s/m just flip the fraction upside down- in this case 1/1,112 = 0.0008993, so just up the fuse by roughly 0.0009 seconds for every metre you want the round to penetrate.

It's what I designed after my destroyer before I had the confidence to take on my aircraft carrier/command ship and its strike crafts. Watching this makes me consider giving FTD another go, but things have changed so my designs might be broken now. XD

I wonder what you'd think of Space Engineers, Lathrix. there's not as much customization or enemy variety as there is in From The Depths, but it can still be quite fun.

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

Yes Lath! More FtD please!

I'm still in the spaceship camp, but I have to say, this sub probably has the coolest interior of any vehicle I've seen you build, in large part because of how open and functional it it. I hope you continue to make use of cameras, screens, and open interiors in future series, even if they're mostly relegated to flagships in campaign. Something about the view from your captain's chair makes combat feel a lot more immersive, especially with the occasional explosion sweeping across the glass ceiling. Also, if you're looking for missile suggestion, have you considered a vertically firing Huge missile that then releases a cluster of medium missiles that then home in on the target from above? So a MIRV, rather than the normal cluster warhead style where the delivery system follows the smaller missiles in. Alternatively, rather than go with missiles, you could try to build a KKV by spawning an independent ship/projectile, and then hitting it in the back with a graviton ram. It's an unusual weapon system and it can do quite a bit of damage, if you design it projectile correctly.

Yeah, if you normally have -25° in winter you usually don't invest into AC. That bites you in the ass when you get 35° in the summer.

How about using the largest missiles to deliver cute baby clustermissiles. So we can, you know, break all of the Geneva convention. Cuz we are the good guys

I like your videos. They have a "home" kind of feel. Like it's always nice knowing it hasn't changed much and I can always come back to a big dose of funny but not obnoxious videos about interesting games. Thanks.

Hey Lathrix, loving the ship. I couldn't build this if I tried. However, what's the plan for shooting at targets in first person?
