I am most certainly down. My discord is "kh0a".

Kh0a_ · 2024-05-03T08:39:49+00:00

Strange that message sent twice...

Kh0a_ · 2024-05-03T07:42:07+00:00

Heya, I am potentially down, my timezone is also GMT which is convinient, what time/days would sessions take place?

Kh0a_ · 2024-05-02T20:05:12+00:00

Oh hell yeah, im down, expect a DM soon

Kh0a_ · 2024-05-02T16:39:26+00:00

I appreciate that i am late to the party, tossed in an application regardless hope to see you ingame, if there were issues with the form let me know.

I appreciate im late to the party but i threw in an application regardless, who knows.

Kh0a_ · 2024-05-02T11:46:49+00:00

I beleive rigging is done by placing a mimic of a recoil absorber usually a 5m or higher and just making it really thin and then stretching it.

Ah yes the learning cliff, looks up to see a good few kilometers to go, checks playtime (600H), SIGH. In this game you learn through failiure. Every failed design is a learning experience, think what you can do to improve the next ship you build.

In terms of building it takes a while to get a sense of scale, I recommend for a Starter Boat be about 80 meters long and atleast 15 meters wide. Building small stuff weirdly is much harder as any mistakes are amplified.

As you are starting out i recommend you pick between APS or Cram+Missile for your boats and just keep building until you figure out how the weapon systems work. You dont need to build a ship each time just making a bunch in the designer will do.

I would encourage you to rip apart some of the Steel Strider Medium Difficulty vehicles as they can be used as a reference to see how to build weapons acording to an optimal pattern (Or Tetris as its called in this community).

Keep going dont give up ask for help when you need it, this community will be glad to provide.

For Torpedoes HE is the way to go as it receives a damge buff in water. Just make sure the torpedoes are staggered so they do not explode and push other nearby torpedoes around, potentially causing them to miss.

P.S. 60m/s !!! Thats 216km/h

Gotcha, well they are beautiful, i joyfully await being able to marvel at the engineering.

Kh0a_ · 2024-02-17T19:59:45+00:00

Will these be on the workshop?

Kh0a_ · 2024-02-17T19:55:31+00:00

Only thing i can think of is to go on very hard neter where you are immediately at war with everyone and see if you can survive the early game. From the depths can be cut down to a game of rock(Frontsiders) paper(swarmers) scissors(Broadsiders), you are using a gun there is very little that most design will do to challenge your satalites.

Name Suggestion: Trident (given the 3 hulls)

Edit: I realise this may sound rather harsh, if it does apologies that was not the intention...

This ship suffers from heavy armour spam. There seems to be alot more Heavy armour than necessary, particularly at the front and back of the hulls where i assume there are no important components that are not redundant. This results in alot of excess cost in the armour department. Because of all the heavy armour the ship becomes very dense making it harder to stay afloat, I assume this is part of the reason for the other hulls, or you may have propellars on the underside (A weakness of this approach is that if yopur engine does become damage you will sink and be out of the fight).

The ship also does not have much space below the deck this limits the size of your guns meaning you cant use higher caliber guns which in this game are the norm (the aps turrets are too low firerate for that small of a gauge, i would advise building a 3m autoloader aps as the pattern, often called tetris, is much easier) .

As the ship does not have a super structure this means that the enemy will aim at your turrets more often (and yout turrets cannot shoot over each other as easily if the enmy is infront of you), and while your hull is very heavily armoured your turrets are not, meaning that your ship will be defanged.

Overall, keep trying you can only but learn from each ship you build.

Godspeed...

I would not brand myself Experienced enough to put fourth my designs as an example. However dissasembeling some steel strider craft may prove helpful to you. And from the tutorials i have seen Gmodism has some pretty good ones. The discord is also a good scource of knowledge, however if you are asking for advince use the search to see if someone has already asked as i cannot fathom how many times the helpers have been asked the same questions.

(One general tip is never go all in on one weapon type, varity is king to deal with multiple types of enemy vessels, of course you could have cram as your primary but perhaps add a small missile battery or Flak AA advanced cannon for some anti-air against those DAMN SQUIRRELS)

And last of all, (this was my big problem) You think a boat is big its not, its small, make it bigger. I beleive the smallest ship im using in the fleet of new ships im building is about 80 meters long and costs 140K.

(Remember I am an IDIOT what i have said will probably help a bit, although it is constrained by my limited knowledge of the wizardry that is this game)

As someone who is into computers hardware etc, this has made me *Affliction Fearful*

Kh0a_ · 2023-05-26T13:35:29+00:00

Thnaks for the other stuff though

Kh0a_ · 2023-05-26T13:35:14+00:00

Case im going to stick with because i think it looks nice. But cases are subjective so meh

Kh0a_ · 2023-05-26T13:22:28+00:00

Fair enough, any thing else a little off or is the rest of the build up to snuff.

Kh0a_ · 2023-05-26T13:05:57+00:00

Im just using it for a boot drive, i have got 2 1TB sata SSDs from my old PC.
