You should call it "The Mimic." Because it's like an enemy Moray on the outside, but the inside is different. But also all of the mimics that it once contained.

[@vladfedonkin4731]

The space above Neter, normally famous for being completely blank of literally any stars at all, was currently lit up in a blaze of a full-on space battle. Missiles streaked back and forth between the two opponents, particle cannon beams lit up the space between them in blades of red and blue. Lasers pulsed, shooting down missiles or cutting swathes into thick armour plating, and the pure white tracers of hypervelocity railgun slugs tore through space, armour, and vital components. Amidst all the chaos was a 1200-meter long vessel, one of the many battlecruisers of the Resistance Council fleet. She was covered in weapon emplacements and point defense guns, and at her thickest point she had over ten meters of pure steel protecting her - surrounded entirely by an incredibly powerful shield, capable of stopping incredible amounts of laser fire or deflecting an unlucky railgun slug. Her name was RCV (Resistance Council Vessel) Blood and Iron, and her Captain was one Rear Admiral Owen Wright. “Heavy cruise missiles incoming from vector two-three-five, inclination positive twelve degrees. Targeting with pulse lasers, ETA until railgun targeting one minute.” The ship’s AI, Katherine, called out amidst the controlled chaos of the Iron’s bridge, filled with status reports and damage control officers directing their repair bots to damaged sections of plate. Wright nodded. The salvo of forty large and sixty medium missiles would likely get through his ship’s laser net, but the rail-propelled CIWS and missile interceptors would hopefully knock them down several kilometers before they even got into visual range. Just in case, a 350-meter light frigate had come up alongside his own warship to assist with point defense. What Wright was far more worried about, however, was that damned Legion flagship. The three-kilometer long beast had been tearing apart the destroyers and frigates of the Resistance’s fleet like a hot knife through butter with its five.. super-lasers of sorts. In fact, his ship’s incredibly powerful port shields had just been downed by one of those weapons, which itself had already cut through a frigate. If that smaller ship hadn’t been there.. the Iron would’ve had a hole cored through her at best, and who knows what would’ve happened to his pride and glory at worst. That wasn’t where that ship’s armament stopped, either. The thing had been throwing around railgun slugs as if it was going out of style, and had to have had at least a thousand heavy cruise missiles slapped somewhere. And to add on top of THAT, it had an extensive point defense network, shields at least on par with his battlecruiser’s, and armour to match. “We can’t take another hit like that. Ready bow particle cannons one and two, a full salvo of our medium and heavy missiles, and arm our nukes. Keep the spinal railguns offline for now.” “Helm! I want a collision course with that enemy dreadnought. Make it happen, and give me a ten-second burn from our main engines. Prepare port-side emergency thrusters.” The helmsman looked back at him with a confused expression. “Sir? We just took a hit like THAT, and you’re telling us to get closer?” “Just do it, Lieutenant, or we’re all dead. Weapons, how’re the particle cannons doing?” As the ship lurched forwards and fired a full spread of two hundred large and four hundred medium missiles, a Lathryxian strike-craft was simply obliterated by a slug from one of the portside anti-ship railguns, which had scored a lucky hit with hollow point ammunition. “Spun up and online. Firing on command.” “Open fire.” Two sky-blue lances streaked out from the bow of the Council Battlecruiser, hitting nearly instantaneously on the bow of the Chaos vessel. One of the superlasers went down, but little other damage was done.. and the Iron was now marked a priority target by the demonic crew. Before the Rear Admiral could give out any further orders, two blood-red beams of laser fire were spewed out by the Legion flagship’s bow laser emitters. One laser, it’s emitter damaged earlier in the battle, only managed to bring down the reconstituted bow shields. The second, however, tore a hole straight through the mighty warship - the beam hitting on the port bow, then literally passing through the ship in a matter of seconds and exiting the starboard side amidships. Luckily for the frigate that had pulled up beside them, the beam ran out of power (having used the majority of its charge to burn a hole through the much larger warship) fast enough their weaker shields weren’t even brought down. “Status report!” Wright shouted, as the fire suppression systems activated to stop the fire on the bridge from getting any worse. An ensign manning one of the sensor consoles screamed as her console exploded, showering her with sparks. Katherine spoke up again. “Hull breaches on decks eighteen through twenty six. Explosive decompression on nearly all outer decks, already sealed or sealing all bulkheads in affected areas. Twenty-three percent of our crew is either dead, or missing and presumed so. Particle cannons one and two are offline, anti-ship railguns four through eight will need extensive repairs. Missile pods eight through ten are permanently down, and CIWS/LAMS mounts twelve through seventeen have been vaporized. Our spinal railguns and our nukes are still online and loaded, however, and the enemy’s shields seem to have been downed from a salvo by the frigate Bombay. The Rear Admiral, shocked at the amount of damage his vessel had taken from a single salvo and realizing how lucky he was it hadn’t struck the ammo or engines, nevertheless kept his composure and nodded as his mind raced to come up with a response. “Turn off every single system, barring our spinal railguns. Shunt all power to them, and turn on every single backup engine we have - I don’t care how badly we’re going to overload their capacitors, but I need those guns firing as fast as we can possibly get them to fire. Fire emergency thrusters to avoid the remaining missile salvo, and let loose both of our nukes. Cover them with a salvo of every single anti-fighter missile we have.. we need to distract those point defenses.” He looked back at the view screen, showing the accursed flagship far out of visual range. The thing’s ventral and dorsal lasers spun up, both targeting some 550-meter Resistance Destroyers, and glowed red as they prepared to fire. “Fire those guns as fast as you can make them, Lieutenant. Now.” The bridge lights dimmed to a dull red emergency lighting, as nearly a thousand anti-fighter missiles came off of their rails and streaked towards the enemy flagship. Following them came the two massive nukes the battlecruiser carried - they were intended for orbital bombardment, but they would have to do for now. Most of the missile swarm was picked off by the thing’s lasers and railguns before they ever impacted, but one of the nukes made it to its target. The railgun slugs hit first, however. A five-hundred millimeter hollow point slug hitting at just over a hundred kilometers per second was certainly a powerful weapon, and those guns were firing at a rate of one slug every ten seconds. The first two splattered against the armour, but then another two impacted. And another two. And another two after that. After the sixth shot, both railguns simply collapsed from the stress of having their capacitors overloaded by such an extreme amount... ...but the damage was already done. The Lathryxian vessel was full of holes, belching flame and fuel from one of its several reactors, and most notably had a massive gouge torn through it by one of the slugs. This massive rip in the ship’s defenses was exactly where the nuclear missile flew into.. and detonated. The crew cheered as the demonic flagship broke apart in front of them, emerging from the nuclear hellfire with no less than one-sixth of its mass instantly vaporized - more than enough for a mission kill. The Chaos fleet, meanwhile, jumped out of the area. For now, they would be content with sniping any brave shuttle pilots that tried to send reinforcements down to the surface.. but they would be back, and with far more ships. Looking at the carnage around him - the Council had traded no less than forty-three ships for barely sixteen of the enemy, and nearly every Resistance vessel had suffered minor to moderate damage - Wright sighed, and looked at his helmsman. His ship was now the flagship of the fleet, the previous one having been vaporized by a full alpha strike from that behemoth of a flagship, and so he had command.. “Reform the battle line over the Watch’s fortress. We still have a battle to fight.. and I think I have a way to win it.” Let me know how you like this longer, much much different style of writing! I’ll be doing the other type, of course - those are actually based on events that happen in the campaign, after all, and I can’t exactly just stop making them. However, I was thinking of adding on another story from a different perspective. So just let me know if you’d like to see me alternate between the two storylines, posting the campaign-related one on one video and this side-quest of sorts on the next, or if you’d prefer I did purely the campaign-related stuff. Also, criticism of any kind is always welcome - I’m just some random KZbin commenter, so go ham. (But please keep in mind this was all written in barely a half hour, 45 mins tops.) I’d prefer something constructive, of course, but.. Flame me if you’d like! :)

[@R4V3-0N]

Great comment but as the lad who updated the Gantry myself I have to say not the most accurate. All those mimics are in place where actual functioning parts would be. But structures (Moray Gantry) can't have movement parts like thrusters, wings, etc. So I mimicked them on. The engine is mimicked due to it being a huge performance hit for something that doesn't need that much HP (Moray Gantry) as it isn't using that power for anything. The regular Moray is very lean on mimicked and barely used any.

[@Mekcanikel]

“The Lathrixian Legion’s technical division’s completion of the Moray took place at their ‘Open Water Workshop’, the same facility which gave birth to the formidable Prototype 2 bomber, which terrorised the Deep Water Guard. Despite possessing some data on the original vessel, the engineers in charge of the project decided to build the vessel’s internal systems and weaponry from scratch, keeping the hull as the only link to it predecessor. This turned out to be a good decision as the project engineers discovered, much to their despair and annoyance, that many components had been replaced by facsimiles and mimic. To this day the reason why the DWG replaced these components, which included sections of its armour, but one theory was that the DWG was struggling to complete the vessel, but tried to hide it from the Legion. Despite this set back, and the Engineer’s reputation for drinking on the job, the ‘refit’ of the Moray was successful. The airship was equppied with a medium caliber railgun, which was capable of gutting battleships. It was designed to act as assault artillery ship, pelting the enemy from a distance with rail gun slugs, with its secondary armament mostly intended to act as a defensive measure against opponents who managed to close the distance. Despite being close to the cost and weight of the original Moray, it was without doubt, a superior craft, further demonstrating the technological superiority the Legion had over the DWG.” -Archivist Mekanicle

DWG Intelligence Report: The demon took the bait. He went after the Moray we mothballed, and our spies report that after his engineers found out we replaced all vital components with cheap plastic mimics, the demon retreated to his quarters with a bottle of liquor mumbling "damn mimics". While in the past, his binge drinking sessions have produced terrifying weapons such as the Prototype, a cargo plane he accidentally turned into a bomber, it is likely he will waste hours upon hours trying to make what is essentially a 1:1 scale model into a warship, which should buy us some time.

[@dragonlord1935]

Addendum: THAT DEMON! According to updated intel that son of a cur came grumbling out of his quarters with an empty crate of liquor bottles under one arm and a blueprint for a retrofitted Moray in the other hand... in less than 16 HOURS!! Needless to say, Operation Fishbone-in-throat was a massive failure. We have just added a new warship to the Legion's catalogue.

Scarlet Dawn Scout Report 1: Today we sent out a small satellite that the Legion wouldn’t detect at their current tech level. And what we discovered was quite worrying having faced this Chaotic Legion before: The Legion had captured a “Moray” and last we checked it wasn’t operational but now it most certainly is. We knew he was an amazing engineer but this is mad. In a single day Lathrix (The Legions Leader) has converted the empty husk of the Moray into a powerful weapon for long range. Where there was once empty space now contains: a Railgun that takes up about a third of the total interior of the ship, missiles (as usual) and surprisingly that’s all. But even with its limited weaponry the modified Moray husk managed to kill a Crossbones with little trouble. So, what did we learn today? We learnt that The Legion is advancing far faster than anyone expected or wanted. We will make another report when The Legion, especially Lathrix, does something interesting.

Addendum: getting drunk counts as interesting.

Lathrix should fight the Scarlet Dawn after the DWG. I think it would be fair. By that I mean: there wouldn’t be any challenge otherwise (he is too powerful) and it would be an interesting addition to the story.

[@R4V3-0N]

It's me again in the comments from your last video. The reason why it has so many Mimics is because Structures can't have movement components such as thrusters, jets, ion, wheels, sails, wings, paddles, etc. The mimics for the movement parts to give it the unfinished and unbuilt look but most importantly for people like you who wants to know where to put thrusters and components back in if you want to finish/ retrofit the Moray! And I am so happy that I planned for something like this for me to see you do it first thing when you saw it.

[@R4V3-0N]

Oh and those wooden slopes were mimics so they better connected to that weird angle on the Moray. Also the winglets are mimicked on the Moray too as I said earlier you can't have wings on structures. I am pretty happy you enjoyed it so much and me over designing it came into fruition here. It made me happy that I put in the effort and it paid off.

My Recommendation: planning ahead the "Lore" of this Playthrough, this should be the Early Prototype of a Full Railgun Airship based on the captured Moray Shell the Full Railgun ship should be a long range support bombardment ship, snipping foes from affar while the brawlers absorb the damage it should get a beffed up spinal railgun and energy generation and maybe the Ability To Change Shell Types depending on the target (there is an option for the ACBs to change what shell a gun should have, but never figured it out how to actually change it) the idea here is to have different shells for armored targets, maybe APHE or full AP, and HE for lighter targets and should be Build AFTER the Deep water guard is defeated, as a counter against the Onix Watch armour maybe meanwhile this one is the only one, or one of two prototypes for testing and gathering data for the full version maybe you can figure out the interchangable shells in this prototype

[@prosparkour9200]

This comment is probably gonna get lost in the sea of comments but I just want to tell you a little something about frag vs wood. Frag has a very low AP (6) but a very high damage potential. Wood has extremely low armor class (3) and since you need 2x the AC in AP to deal full damage, this means frag deals 100% of its massive damage to wood. It is undoubtedly the best shell to use vs the DWG, and it is best used at 23° cone angles. I hope you see this and find it helpful.

[@vladfedonkin4731]

Heh. Back before the APS nerf/limit on railgun power draw, I had a railgun that shot a 500mm hollow point at 100 km/s.. if the game’s hitreg actually managed to detect the shell, it could literally delete the fore half of a Bulwark. What do you use nowadays for long range fire? I’ve not really been able to get railguns to work really well at far range.

[@wuzz111]

I used the same thing, 500mm hollow point. But not at 100,000m/s instead it was around 1,250 - 1,500 m/s. And they did destroy a good chunk of armour (from the bulwark) BUT the railguns are rapid fire with around 2 - 3 shots every second.

[@A._is_for]

When it flies in the skies Rains down streams of fire It's a morray!

[@crabe1178]

I currently only know simple weapons, missiles, and I can kinda build a cramped cannon. I only use electric engines. Because I dont know how to build the other ones yet. I just started using detection systems rather than the automatic detection. I have found a whole new love for this game. I am quite new with about 60 hours. It amazes me how anyone builds like this. Thank you for introducing me to such an amazing game.

[@jeremiahrussell4913]

"This took way longer than expected." Honestly everything Lathrix does or thinks of doing... New channel theme-phrase?

[@gaberielpendragon]

Casements are really sweet weapons. Currently using them on a sub build I am working on, super cavitation base is really nice to be able to shoot guns underwater.

[@starshine_project]

Totally mathmatical: Lathrix+alcoholic beverage = MOAR vids

[@taylorsherman5006]

Is the stellaris just taking an astronomical amount of recording time again? No complaints I love your stellaris and almost watch it exclusively in the genre and depending on time your channel, I really appreciate how much work you put into them, they’re lovely to watch after a workday.

[@williamsinciline8505]

“We are making this lathrixian, AKA terrible.” I think you meant to say masterfully crafted with absolutely zero flaws.

[@major0noob]

APHE to put the kinetic energy from the rails into use, there's also a option to view only mimics now (middle mouse button, the ribbon top right). if the cooling/recoil/chargers are a PITA; a squash head strong enough to take out a metal beam and frags with low cone is also pretty cool, it's like a inverted tandem shaped charge.

[@JabberwockOclock]

Reason for all the mimicked propulsion parts is that it was part of a building, and propulsion parts cannot normally be placed on buildings or fortresses. There is also a mimic view which identifies all mimic blocks. I can't remember what you press to get it, but I'm certain it can be accessed in the bottom left where it says "Press middle mouse to scroll down." That's also where the cross-section tool is.

[@deltageo512]

I really dont think the fights look boring if you have the airship stay far away. Also i think its kinda sad not to use the full potential of a craft. Its way more satisfying to see a craft be efficient and deadly than having it behave cinematic :)

[@LordRunolfrUlfsson]

Point-defense on the sides to deal with enemy aircraft and missiles. Maybe something heavy but fairly quick in the forward turret to counter glass cannons that keep moving out from in front of the ship.

[@Phantom-rk9kn]

I was hoping u would’ve add the water rocket launchers u mentioned in the previous video to the craft it would’ve looked cool. Keep up the great work love a flying pancake

[@prupuponcio]

I think a cool design for a missile system would be one that launches missiles radially from all directions, and have them turn to face the enemy. E.g missiles shoot up, left, right, and down relative to the front of the craft, and have them track from there. I think the effects from the trails will be neat. Plus missiles!

[@3lli384]

Thanks! Love FtD :-) This series is turning out very air oriented. Just an observation :-)

[@user-ts2nd2jw1k]

Lathrix: "In the next video i will retrofit this ship." Viewers: "Oh, so you load captured ship design in sandbox and retrofit it?" Lathrix: "NO. I will do even better! I will load captured ship PROP in sandbox and retrofit IT!"

[@personperson1148]

Lathrix you should build a ship where the gun barrel goes through the middle of the whole ship like halo

[@scytheseven9173]

Since it uses a railgun and the original is the Moray, how about calling it the Electric eel? (I know they're not technically eels, but electric 'cuz railgun...)

[@garfieldsans967]

I’m ready give to me more From the Depths content also can you give the moray a more Nurgle vibe?

[@hellyeah1093]

You could use the simple AA weapons to target missiles rather than aircraft, since there is the darts for that very same purpose and that the key word of that campain is specialisation.

[@auroramistressofshade4687]

i like the long distance fighting

[@kevski3770]

Lathrix... This is an intervention. You love spinal railgun cannons too much

[@lemon88]

To do time-lapses couldn’t you just use multiplayer and use a “camera account” that just sits on a floating platform and records.

[@jonasfree2]

I don't know if this is possible in FTD, but It sounds like a decent enough idea

[@zynstein8059]

@@jonasfree2 Multiplayer exists so yea in theory it's possible

[@fishstick3330]

Multiplayer is annoying as it removes features like god mode and undo/redo whilst building

[@braydenbabbitt5917]

Lathrix could never get rid of all of the mimics

[@colourbrine]

I always forget to like when there are no amazing reminders

[@krathoboom3836]

first time seeing a cram bounce of anything except for shields

[@Kekatronic]

I love all the writers in the comment section, seriously the best comment sections of any youtuber can be found right here

[@blackchow8979]

I love from the depth!!

[@mach5620]

A bit late, but under extra functions (middle mouse), there is a view option to view only mimics.

[@raptorjesus5870]

Moray: You are but a usurper, a false idol. Lathrixian moray: *loads rail gun*

[@kittenandtheboys7965]

Lathrix you should call this the Thousand Sons because they're a show of what they were originally

[@kittenandtheboys7965]

Sorry I meant a shell of the original self

[@EgnachHelton]

Finally a spinal mounted design!

[@thecowgod2575]

this might be the single coolest thing lath has ever done in FTD

[@vladfedonkin4731]

You must be new here.

[@Core-1948]

This sates my hunger for FTD very much. It pleases me.

[@thegamingcat3202]

The reason is has so many mimics, is because a lot of blocks, like thrusters and helium pumps, can not be placed on structures, they had to replace a lot with mimics, the engines are probably mimics because that way it wouldnt use an fuel or have any performance impact and other mimics were to alloy blocks to intercect.

[@micahmyers6768]

I've found that extremely fast hollow point railgun slugs work well against the DWG, White Flayers, and Lightning Hoods.

[@doritosama8854]

Unusual time for him to upload :p

[@Raj-df7wf]

Boi SomeStuff it’s a surprise but it’s a wellcome one

[@dylanwatts9344]

It would be awesome for it to sway left and right when it fights for some passive shell defense

[@nathangreenberg195]

Anti-missile/AA cannons on the sides, use it as a limited dual role ‘cruiser’, some heavy fire power, lots of AA/point defense, medium low armor. Just a thought

[@hazir7618]

"The Mockray"

[@silverseth7]

I would suggest going with another Eel name. Doing a little bit of research I found a nice one to fit yellow-tone repaint called the "Goldentail Moray"

[@petlahk4119]

Lath, it *always* takes longer than you expected xD

[@scorch3677]

Pew pew cannon engaged
