The Onyx Watch! 🏰⛵ From the Depths Faction Overview

[@BorderWise12]

IMPORTANT! I know I said the Twin Guard would be next... but I have been informed that most Neter factions are getting major updates soon, so the faction overviews might have to be held off for a while. Hopefully I can still cover the ones which aren't going to get too many changes. 😅 Also: handy links!

Imagine making a new series, but the devs decide hey we are going to rework them! You should add the faction icon to the thumbmail to make it easier to spot those videos (faction vids) from the other ones

Onyx watch, the faction that LOVES crams but manages to use them as bad as possible

[@BorderWise12]

@@dripwastaken7884 Yup. OW is weirdly outdated in their CRAM spam, it's a meta that stopped existing years ago.

An Eyrie made a horror film out of what was supposed to be the latest and most powerful of my battleships. The fact that you get an achievement just for killing an Eyrie in a fixed-difficulty campaign should tell you all you need to know about how much of a pain it is to deal with. Also I've gotten a Stronghold that beelines straight for my home base in two separate campaign playthroughs.

[@BorderWise12]

The Eyrie is the absolute boogie-man for ships. XD And wow, TWO Stronghold encounters? I've literally never seen one in the wild, I should play Neter more!

[@reokobalta8839]

I use to play with Legos when I younger. But playing this game is one hell of a challenge for me. Thank you for your videos.

[@BorderWise12]

@@reokobalta8839 You're welcome! :)

[@ithuriel128]

This is super fun! My favorite videos of yours are where you cover the campaign craft and factions and show off what the KOTLs are capable of.

[@ithuriel128]

I adore watching faction craft bully the heck out of things.

[@drkreuzer670]

I want it to be a little more chronological, so white flayers can be the next one, then thw twin guard, then the steel striders, grey talons THEN scarlet dawn

[@BorderWise12]

@@drkreuzer670 Good news, that's happening anyway due to forces outside of my control! XD

[@dillonschroeder985]

I love the Alcazar, its my testing ship when I want to test my general purpose ships and to ensure it can do good damage.

[@BorderWise12]

@@dillonschroeder985 It is a very good benchmark, yes! Precisely because it's potentially such a pain and it's so likely to be encountered. XD

[@speedyling]

im early for once! excited for the next episode, the twin guard is probably my favorite faction

[@knightlygeorge6459]

I do like me some CRAMS. This looks good.

16:24 - FWIW, Anvil Has Always Had LAMS!! The Laser Update Messed With Its Regulator And Broke It. Fixed In Next Update, But It's Been Months : / Source: I Made That Boy

[@BorderWise12]

@@old_pork I dod wonder why it had laser bits it didn't seem to be using... 🤔

[@dragon_striker3000]

then there is me that is working for hundreds of hours on a ship (still isent finished) and would love to get some help

[@mattginsburg3511]

I will warn you that nearly the entire TG roster has updates queued up right now, so I'd either recommend waiting for that update or, if you DM rorsten, I'm sure he could get the files from me for the updated craft. I've had the update waiting to go for a few months, but no updates have been pushed for a while as the next game update is decently big

[@BorderWise12]

Cheers! Which factions are the ones which I should avoid pre-update again? TG, LH, any others?

[@mattginsburg3511]

@@BorderWise12 Just TG and GT - LH has some updates, but no clue how long it'll be till they're in

[@ithuriel128]

What kind of updates are in the works? TG are one of my favorite factions to watch because they do *so* much cool things within the FtD engine.

[@mattginsburg3511]

@@ithuriel128 A lot of maintenance, and a few replacements - big updates to the titan and amusement as well

[@cosmicbananas8084]

the one thing i really hate the most about the onyx watch is it limits my settings (the small heavy ones anyway). i increase the total mass of everything, and the buoyancy of airpockets so ships designed for normal neter dont just sink. onyx watch hates any kind of mass increase. also they feel cheesy to fight against with even my normal craft because in my opinion, DWG is often harder than them because OW can't seem to hit even my slower craft (18M/s), they are easy to hit. the only really annoying things with them for me is the LAM spam, and their Uboat nature. only a little bit in

[@JohnMcFist]

Why the change in settings?

[@fairygoodmuller8065]

i'd say ship based lasers aren't great vs onyx watch because damn those waves can fully obscure ships meaning you do a lot less damage

[@BorderWise12]

@@fairygoodmuller8065 Very true! Lasers are better fired from altitude anyway. 😁

[@doritosama8854]

How do you get the foam trails for ship and torpedos?

[@BorderWise12]

That is the Render Distance Mod, which I keep forgetting to mention and leave a link to. So here it is! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3252406735&searchtext=render
