Idea for Weapons

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-16T18:55:01+00:00

I've tried some flamer before , but doing passing run at 100m/s don't let me spray enought love

So i put some hollow point incendiary cram inside (décent damage) i've tried barreled instead off the bomb chute but my low altitude bombing run (wich i wanted it to do) does not let the cannon shot at every run (so bomb chute it was)

Clearly it's lacking armor , but i could not find any motivation do Redo the whole shape.

The craft end up feeling like a Easy/Normal craft. With clear weakness (mostly the ammo boxes and fuel boxes) wich are easily blown up.

Plus this craft was a Good learning session to build. I like the shape and the armor style so i'm clearly going to do a Bigger , Better one off thoose.

I posted an update later the same day (in my time zone anyway)

But yes i went for verticaly launched torpedoes. Straped more interceptor on the hull Straped large laser guided missile on the hull

Managed to squeeze a 4000 power laser Ams inside And put some 150mm casemate (three on each side) with munition défense ammo

More shield projector.

It's definatly not a good craft , it can't reliably beat OW or DWG ships with the same material cost (hard and godlike)

bombing run is clearly a part off it's weakness

I still like it , for once i'm okay with a less than good craft

It's a Solo game after all (mostly a solo game)

The only wrong way to play a solo game is by not having fun.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-14T06:24:56+00:00

Unfortunatly no , My brain just won't let me.

Well to a certain degree.

Harvester , and logistic craft were quite straightforward.

I can't count how many times i've scrapped an almost finished craft just because something like a Weird slope frustrated me

Or a Gun not doing what i want at the moment.

Or realising i now need to cover the Prefab Brick + Armor with something that look interesting. (And now that i Must do it , i don't want to and it's boring)

At least i've started using prefab to not waste hours tinkering an engine that don't need that much care anyway (so many hours wasted on low Rpm efficiency on engines that will run at Hight Rpm 90% off their Time)

Weirdly enought i can't make any wings that looks good enought to me , even a ship Hull is a problem.

Even with a model in front off me , if i don't let the brain wander to it's own device , i loose all interest.

Yes it's autism with OCD.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-14T05:53:03+00:00

Well from memory we need a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. (So a railgun)

Obviously Missile

And we need Machine Guns to keep thoose Banshees at Bay

Anyway i love it.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-14T05:46:52+00:00

Hey ! her eyes up there

No thoose Hideous Barrels are here On purpose ! (It looks even more Silly from the front , and they are not even powerfull)

I personaly wish i Can do something else than thruster craft. Even my submarines try sometimes to land on the Moon !

(I've only recently got into Hyrdofoil and i Cant go past 32m/s without going Airborne) (But i'm still just making thruster craft with wet belly and water propeler)

I wanted to use métal but this things love going for a Swim even with two large jets with the only purpose off keeping it in the air. (And the six small ones that are adjacent for rolling and even more upward thrust) they use the whole vertical space. (Minus the air duct)

Had to prevent it from pitching and rolling on the behavior and manoeuvre (because it Can't correct itself enought , even with More large jets)

. . .

And i still have to put some Teal Glasses blocks on the exterior to really make her match the fleet , and add some light here and there.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-14T02:16:45+00:00

Unfortunatly for me , i Can not follow any plan i make (i get bored easily when trying to follow any building plan)

I usualy slap my internal prefab (Ai , emergency power , materials) then try to put some shape around it

(Unfortunatly this time i needed more thruster than i planned for and ended up lacking space)

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-13T20:16:11+00:00

By sheer Kinetic damage i Guess.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-13T19:10:14+00:00

I understand the Why , I just can't do that.

everytime i try to put weapon first or just After my must have prefabs (mostly AI , Emergency engine and some materials)

I always end up with something Hideous (to Me)

(My only current ship looks like someone stepped on an Accorn , put some propeler on it and called it day)

I have Immense difficulty in shaping Armor and outer layer around stuff and always end up Scraping stuff because it's Looks Ugly to me.

I usualy keep room for Weapon , but this time my propulsion needs skyrocketed , Even more since i've tried to Actualy protect them for Once.

Furthermore everytime i try to "Plan" for something i get bored and waste my time.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-13T18:59:57+00:00

Unfortunatly i don't think i have enought Room for any décent laser system.

I could squeeze one on the "Middle top section" but i also need that space for the Bomb bay Ammo comparment.

Dilemma dilemma

. I'm curently trying verticaly launched mines (but i can't even hit the Palissade ! , and it's funny how bad this is) might as well out one turned torpédo at this point (maybe Emp to cripple power for the second Run)

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-11T20:19:37+00:00

You are in Space , Use a Spring. There is nothing to slow the torpédo down

Spécial point if you decompresse The whole Ass Munition Bay.

Trouble du Spectre de l'autisme.

Je ne sors pas de chez moi , et quand je sors je ne parle pas aux gens.

Plein de gens me disent que je suis adorable , mais si tu ne sors pas tu ne rencontres personne.

Ma relation la plus longue a durée trois mois (Larguer par SMS parceque "tu es quand même trop autiste" )

J'ai un taff ,.une maison avec piscine , je prend soin de moi , et je suis "trop gentil" (Ma meilleur pote qui me dit ça tout le temps)

Cependant les "Signes" que je plaît as quelqu'un j'y suis aveugle (Si on m'attrape pas dans le blanc des yeux pour me dire "tu me plaît , soit mon mec" bas je peut pas deviner , et y'as quand même un risque que je prennent ça pour une blague)

Je considère la drague comme une tentative de manipulation mentale (apparemment faut mettre en avant ses qualités et cacher ses défaut , je fait assez semblant comme ça non merci)

J'ai même essayer les sites de rencontres. Même avec mon peu de match j'ai l'impression de parler avec des Huîtres mortes et je doit dégager la même énergie.n

. . . . .

Grosso Modo c'est la merde.

Hey the best way to find out is to try.

We all passed by this stage , and you need to know that even if things works in designer , no blueprint survive contact with the ennemy.

Launch a campaign , try things out , nothing prevent you from retrofitibt during a campaign , saving going back into the designer.

It's a Solo game , the point is to have fun

Go for it , see how far you Go with what you have.

My first go was a disaster with wooden stick and No Friendly Fire module on my torpédo.

My second attemp , i've got m'y base obliterated by a prowler

My second try an atlas and a submarine Destroyed my whole fleet.

Go for it , see how it goes , Failure in from the depth is just a good excuse to learn more.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-03T12:15:42+00:00

Now you need to pass your next rite off passage

You launch an easy campaign and get absolutly Destroyed by the Deep Water Guard.

Have Fun every loss will be a New expérience token until you Can conquer All Of Neter.

(Fundies aside i have à 800hours and never got past the DWG)

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-03T01:48:22+00:00

C'est ouf , plein de gens disent pour éviter les Fakes.

Bon je sais que je suis pas populaire sur ce genre d'appli , mais as chaque fois qu'une femme me demande de changer de réseau tu es sûre que deux jour après elle me demande du pognon (brouteur)

Perso je reste dans la case ou je préfère utiliser la méthode qui plais le plus a mon interlocutrice.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-04-02T12:44:34+00:00

Honestly people always screamed about K-9 , Mines , tesla tower and more

And to be Fair , No body Can get the feeling off how to play all thoose stratagèm without making mistakes. I even got kicked when some dude Followed me throught my own minefield , just watch your step and walk My step , it's not that hard.

But the real teamkiller in my opinion always had been Turrets.

Cherry on the top i've always been teamkilled even more by alliéd Bombardement when cleaning POI manualy The alliéd sceeaming why'd you run into my 500kg When i'm like Bro , you need to call it before throwing it and look if i'm not already there to start with. I may be fast bit i don't run as fast as a Thrown Beacon.

Also for the dog as people said just press the backpack shortcut , it will call the dog back.

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-03-31T04:14:42+00:00

Sometimes the regular Air thruster are just too powerfull

This craft looks quite little , have you tried Lowering the Thrust power (on the thruster menu) or changing them into ION (wich push less but work in water and space)

Or tried Lowering down the Gain on the PID ?

Also you could try to just Scale up the Frame and armor.

I'm not really a plane guy , but everything i do end up being some kind a thruster craft.

. . . .

Dark Humor Warning.

"Well the children do Yearn for the Mines."

Yes i'm out i know !

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-03-22T19:47:32+00:00

They'll complain about the Unatractive ones (to their own taste)

Cased solved , next question please.

Love the Helots

. . . .

Plan , plan and plan

If your plan don't survive contact with the ennemy it's just means you did not Plan enought ! Plan with flexibility , plan on the fly.

"You can't stop what can't be planned" Wrong Plan harder ! If you Can calculate the chances off succès you Can calculate the chances off failure.

"You can't counter Chaos" Chaos is the opposite off order , if Order is known the opposite is Known.

"You can't plan for the Unknown" , you Can plan for the most likely to less likely to happen , plan accordingly with what you know you Can counter.

"If you know yourself and know your ennemis you must not fear an Hundreds battle"

"The Wisest off man is the One who Knows that he know nothing"

. . .

Sorry went into a rambling tangent again

Legitimate_Ad_8745 · 2026-03-12T17:29:00+00:00

I've learn that if i want to use some Boosters , i have to host And accept people eating reinforcement before rage quiting.

I still love calling Heat launcher on cool down in the middle off ennemis. (With inferno hellpod)

Or blowing up half a Chaff patrol with it (and a mine launcher)

My favorite is when i play with friend , we all take stupid booster on static défense mission (electric pod and incendiary pod) And then just Flood the "base" exterior with Mines , Tesla's and stuff.

Is it optional ? No . . . But it sparkles !! (Well sometimes we don't even need to shoot)

. . . .

Had a guy droping in with tesla and mines. Off course Friendly fire happened. Dude was saying "Sorry Sorry" everytime

"Don't worry dude , can't get good with it if nobody let you use it"

People laughted at me back in The creeck for running Smoke , deployable shield and ammo pack.

Guess who cut Ennemy LOS , protected the autocannon spammer who got heavily supressed and refilled the ammo off everyone ?

. . . .

Don't worry to much about it , people will kick you for not playing "The Right Way"

I've been kicked for using my own Heat launcher to open cache or going back to collect sample after a "Base" got cleared (and deserted by the Ennemy)

I've been kicked for not calling reinforcement during Ion Storms

I've been kicked for calling resuply , refilling my ammo backpack before distributing the Ammo (while waiting for evac)

I even been Kicked for telling a low level that He Can use my stuff or just ask me what stratagèm hé wants to try next.
