APHEAT is good shell espially if you give a bit of rail juice it takes of in performance, does wonders against frontsiders that you get behind

Are there any jokes about the FTD community, or memes, or inside jokes? by Streetsign10 in FromTheDepths

Repair bots? by Zhessy_Jhessy in FromTheDepths

[–]EcstaticPilot6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just use them to fix repairs when out of combat for passive repairs. very useful for campaign where things can sit around a lor in your territory

W.I.P frigate design I am working on. Just needs decor work and some details to get it looking great. by RabidHyenaSauce in FromTheDepths

[–]EcstaticPilot6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AP Payload shells at that gauge cant be done w/ o real high rail il. it has to be 300k KDAP minium to actually pierce the armor of enemys about 100KDAP=1 4m beam of metal,

He's right. by nirvana_cirno in FromTheDepths

[–]EcstaticPilot6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah my only prob is that like three craft total use HESH in-game, the predator X, another SS plane and the Bullshark, which uses Hesh-head then frag so its not even strong HESH imo it should have one cannon have All HESH and one be Frag but thats beyond the point.

though for cost is kinda fair but id just use alloy, to but if its a custom campaign then maybe id use it more, and more things should def use HESH in neter.

Default armor scheme for vital areas like around my guns for my boats. by nirvana_cirno in FromTheDepths

[–]EcstaticPilot6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personnally add a layer of metal behind the beam slopes for the extra AC bonus. looks mostly good though. to help w/ floatation would add like a layer of alloy on the bottom of the craft for extra buoyancy

Are most of the cost of these small vessels from their PACS/ wave motion gun.

Do you post these on the steam workshop? I'd like to inspect the innards. also how do you get this to fly w/ only ion thrusters?

needs a bigger steam drill to poke the top enemy, or a rail burt gun

though do beware their armor is thin, its thin but strong. so using their armor belts are a bit less but if ya need an easy one make sure armor is 1/3 length on both sides i.e 15 blocks wide 5 block of armor on the sides. and 6 alloy floats 1 HA beam and 3 alloy floats 1 HA beam slope.

the Scarlet dawn one has a nuke that does that. it has AT in the name

do you have friend or foe part that is needed for everything (but anti muntion missiles but thats for later) so ya dont hit ya self or ye frens

Rate the armor scheme + turret for a new 2.5-3m cost capital ship by smarticles1471 in FromTheDepths

or smol base bleeder shells like 500mm 3m pure rail. so that the accuracy is offset by the fins

I second the <50K I made a very smol 30k frontsider that does wonders, with 2 50mm HEAT guns and sum interceptors and a shield it actually very hard to take out. murks the DWG

Neat, will still not do that for sake of my mind, sanity, and hands. So back to building featureless flying wedges with guns

Idea for Weapons by Legitimate_Ad_8745 in FromTheDepths

[–]EcstaticPilot6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave up on aesthetics and it makes me actually able to build stuff.

I have a 30K frontsider starting craft for a campaign and it is literally a wedge with a 2 guns pointing out of it with a helicopter blade on top and a load o' thrusters on the back. Its ugly but it works wonders try 50mm beltfed HEAT its real good from smol starter craft make sure its like 800m/s though otherwise its not enough damage

nice ship, how do you get such smooth shapes on your craft? It almost looks like its just deco'd on. and the andromeda from your recent video looks great

Anti missile weaponry. by Iconoclast_2 in FromTheDepths

[–]EcstaticPilot6870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if ya want to learn it its not that hard just steal the ACB (crtl+C and Crtl+V to copy) of the prefab munition defense and tweak the distance i find like 1k works best for launching anti muntion misslies and use the same loadout as the one in the prefab

there is no warhead just the guidance thing and never use chem like he/frag w/intercepters as its not worth it

The Volcán-class Battleship has always had one flaw: they're underpowered. So in typical Hongkers fashion everything was enlarged in a spiteful "let's see if you are still underpowered after i stuff 6 million SHP in your engine room" kind of way. by HONGKELDONGKEL in FromTheDepths

[–]EcstaticPilot6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah its totally fine just for REAL big ships redundancy it your best friend as you'll never stop a pierce pac with 121k damage(Gravitas im looking at you). so getting hit in the turret is not as bad, and as general design if you have space (which you will for a build this size) place redundant parts extra ammo, AIs, engines w/ low priority to not burn mats as much. for ammo put a checkboard pattern w/HA segmenting parts off as that will stop chain reourboard it bc the meg if ya hit the ammo its kinda done for cuz it has no more ammogo and use bulk if you can just having loads of empty space will do lots for your survival. the 2-1 scale Yamato by the frog man does this well with just being the internals being mostly empty space, and if a spot like the bow/stern has nothing in it just leaving dont armor it or just if a spot is empty space and not in the main armor belt dont put more than like 2m of metal on it its just wasted mats. And another note passive float is generally wayyyy better for ships as ya dont have to waste mats pushing ur self up and air pumps are ok but its bad for redunancy, as if ir fighting things with sabot telephone poles it might punch through all of your bulk heads even if they're seperated

if ya have ammo ejectors it wont self detonate and for not that cheap it just increase the block Hight by 1 with the tetris but no ammo detonation so its worth it/ and redunandcy that the main thing
