The reason the rail launchers are more expensive than the regular launchers is because they act as a gantry and launcher at the same time. They hold missile modules on its own making it more space efficient but removing the ability to add launchers.

[@Daemonworks]

Oh, a tankiness trick that I think might have come out after your break... certain detection systems can see through portholes, which are full structural blocks tucked away in the decorative section. Detection protected by stacked armor is /lovely/. I think it was everything other than radar and sonar? Can't really check right now. and one that blew my mind due to how long i'd missed this: one or two of the systems that i was absolutely certain didn't work underwater actually work just fine (laser tracker, if i remember right, but i think something else too?) As somebody who truly /hates/ my ships going blind, discovering those two things absolutely made my month. I really do love how much there is to this game :)

[@Lullloser]

True, the potholes are very good to keep those weak detection things safe.

Hello Lath, I'm a viewer of about 6 years now ever since you first started your From the depths lets plays back in 2014. I just wanted to thank you for all of the wit and entertainment that you've provided throughout the years. In 2014 I had a surgery (nothing dangerous really, just a spinal fusion) and was bedridden for about six months. During that time I discovered your channel and probably watched numerous days worth of your videos. It really helped me pass the time while I was stuck recuperating and I'm so glad that you've found joy in this game after so long! You are my go to guy for From The Depths and many other series! Thank you so much for putting a stupid smile on that 14 year old's face whenever something mucked up your plans in game and thank you so much for continuing to put a smile on my face even now as I approach my 21st!

[@GiveMeCarbonara]

Lathrix, please, PLEASE, let us see how you do armor. I know that it could be a boring video, but you could maybe upload it as an extra one, just recording while you build silently. I NEED to see how you make ships that sturdy and spacious while keeping them somewhat small.

[@sphygo]

I'm sure someone else has already done a comprehensive armor tutorial. If you poke around a bit you should find a few

[@GiveMeCarbonara]

@@sphygo already made a research and there are some generic videos that tells you how stacked, spaced and alternated armor works, but those are concepts I already know. I just want to know how he does armor, i don't know if you have played Ftd but it's incredibly difficult to make a ship that's slick and sturdy as the ones lathrix makes. I always run out of space for weapons or make mine too bulky and expensive and I can't get how to do interiors in a good, organized way like he does (300 hours in, still learning but I'm not a beginner)

[@RorstenVT]

@@GiveMeCarbonara Basically build the hull floorplan first then build the armour outwards, that way you dont run out of room and you can shape it as you go

[@Cheesecannon25]

22:05 That's because weak shell heads (like HE) generally detonate on contact. Inertial fuses have become much less relevant

[@loserface3962]

they are useful as i use armor peircing heads for extra speed without the extra barrel cooldown time of a gunpowder casing

[@ydrahkcin]

I cant wait for your new campaign. Your content is interesting historically for me. When i first found you i didnt really like you, then i kept coming back, and now that i know you well (well your youtube persona) i actually really enjoy your content. I even went back and watched so many of your series. Now it is the only content i actually look forward to.

[@oldsoulrathael]

You say it looks weird, but part of why I like your FtD videos so much is that your craft actually look like yours, rather than something standardized. Oh, and the rail launchers are more expensive because they also act as the first gantry, giving you missile modules on the launcher itself unlike the normal launchers.

[@sebbes333]

*@Lathland* 30:00 -ish. I think a better test would be to hold fire until the enemy lands the first hit on you, especially since The Plunderer always fire too soon before it has aimed correctly. Because it's not a good test if the enemy are crippled long before they have aimed at you.

Something I found really early. If you have a problem matching cooling rate to your auto loaders just make the shell railgun casing only and don't use gunpowder. don't have to worry about cooling and only have to add as many belt fed auto loaders as possible. built one that reached 1000 rpm easy.

[@lukasschwager5876]

I've got an idea for the lore of the campaign: The ships are toy boats, that got accidentally magnified to life-size and now want to take over the world. At least this ship looks kind of like a toy.

[@qionsaber2870]

Question, how did you make those burst railgun from the adventure mode? I am trying to replicate them.

[@Lathland]

Railguns using no gunpowder do not trigger the barrel cooldown and are only effected by the autoloader limitations. Set that to max firerate and all the autoloaders will load and fire a shell in near instant succession and cause a burst of shots, followed by them all cooling down.

[@qionsaber2870]

Thank you.

[@doomdave475]

qion saber Additionally have enough rail energy storage to last an entire burst, so you don't have to wait for rail charge either. These can be very effective for APS bombers (although you'll need to use turrets since rails and 3m omnimantlets can't really coexist.)

[@mrmonopoly3176]

Hey Lath! Can you make a ship with one massively powerful rail gun? I've known about this game for years and have yet to see one that can punch through entire "(large) ships. Can't wait for the campaign series!

[@Core-1948]

Lath’s idea at the beginning reminds me of the venture rapid cannon. Fast firing lower explosive damage.

[@guinaepig1554]

A great way to build an armed freighter is to build the entire freighter, then slap the guns on. It would look exactly like it sounds: a ship to be mainly a freighter but has some ability to defend itself. The idea that it is a combat ship that seconds as a freighter is also a good idea. One way to do it is to pretend it was a decommissioned battleship and you could have a reason for its lack of weapons. The good thing about your ship's look is that it doesn't look sleek, but it looks like a common freighter if you were a citizen of the Lathrixian Legion.

For this kind of cannon, you can use a low powered pure railgun without any gunpowder or rail casings on the shell. Which removes all cooldown. Brrrrrt as long as you have the clips filled. Cheaper shells ammo-wise too.

That has to be the derpiest frigate I've ever seen, but it seems to work pretty well. Some form of ECM like flares or radar / sonar decoys might make it even tankier vs missiles, or maybe a small CWIS gun / SAM / AA gun superfiring over the forward autocannon.

[@proph7543]

You have to armour the neck of the turret, as explosions can travel through blocks to kill sub-objects, when they would normally not penetrate beyond the first layer if the turret was part of the main object.

[@luccrafoord7510]

Lath to hide your turning propellers you can use a 3x3 metal duct this will also look really good since you hide them as well.

[@Monochromania1]

Yes, Lathrix. Use the ship with the valuables as a tank. I'm your inner doubt.

[@Logan-dk8of]

Alpha strikes in this game miss so often even if you set the required accuracy of the weapon to 0.1 degrees because the detection averages enemy bearings and speed over time, so when vehicles first spawn in the ai detects them as not moving but before the shells manage to reach the target the ship started moving and is long gone. This is why I gravitate more towards rail guns and lasers, or at the very least higher fire rate advanced cannons. rarely use crams because the alpha strike almost always misses and you could lose 10% hp before you get another volley. Could be fixed easily if the devs added an option for an initial firing delay for weapons which only applies if the target just spawned in rather than say just putting a hard 1-2s firing delay which cripples overall fire rate.

[@tidalgrunt]

Have you tried keeping the ai for your main guns off by default or holding fire atleast, and then turning it back on when the enemy gets up to speed?
