You need to build large-scale and metal for anything worthwhile, and to do that you need to keep it floating first, so you have to start with wood, but then you need to replace everything with metal

how the fuck does the advanced cannon laser targeter work?
>>121856586
Sets the time or altitude if you have a timed or altitude fuze on your shell, determined by the enemy the AI is currently targeting
>>121856586
with a timed fuse it works best, i'd only use it for flak at relatively close range or against slow targets, or for deploying smoke around the enemy to negate the effects of their lasers.
>>121856697
Yes, but how? I can't get it to work. I've got it on my cannon and I've got an altitude fuse in the shells.
>>121857102
Is there a lwc controlling the cannon? That's how it gets the data from the AI mainframe
>>121857102
the ai has to have a target, spawn a ship and it'll auto set the fuse to whatever the target's distance is. it doesn't work well with altitude fuses and long trajectories, as the shot will detonate immediately upon leaving the barrel. alt fuses are really only for shooting at things almost directly above you, or with guns that have such muzzle velocities as to not need an arc.
>>121857383
Yes, it's on a LWC connected to an AI.

It's been a while since I've been able to update it, so it might not be quite as solid as it was at first.

Higher muzzle velocity can be achieved with:

Anyone has a spare Space Engineers to trade?
So, FtD, it it possible or even a good idea to make a hull almost entirely of metal blocks?

Pretty difficult to use when you play on a slow-ass toaster like mine
Any programmers around here? Does Spengies allow you to create classes of your own? I can't find any documentation on it, and the logical options I assumed would work do not.
the ai won't stop fucking using my downward facing roll props to flip the ship. i've inverted the controls from roll lhs to roll reverse rhs, set them to thruster, thruster reverse, even main, the ai always fucking rolls the ship over like a beached whale. it's perfectly stable without the roll thrusters, they're just for recoil compensation, but the ai is too fucking retarded to just leave them the fuck alone and instead decides the unarmored underbelly of the ship is the best part to face to the enemy.
how the fuck do i tell the ai to never touch my goddamn roll thrusters when using the fucking naval ai card? why the ai would use them in the first place is beyond me. i'm getting very close to removing them entirely and putting in ACB controlled spinblocks for roll, which is fucking absurd in a goddamn ship.
Am I the only one who hates the look of low-caliber nucannons with stupid-long barrels? I know it's for accuracy or whatever but it irks me to no end.And I really wish the 4-barrel setup was in a square instead of a diamond for proper AA guns.
>>121875341
I too am annoyed by the stupendously long barrels required for decent accuracy. Given the cannons are best at extreme ranges (most of my engagements are broadsides from 1.5km or more and end before I take any fire), it'd be nice if the barrels didn't need to be so bloody long to get a reasonable degree of accuracy.
You can use the stabilizer fins, but they're woefully ineffective on large gauge in exchange for an entire module slot. They're worth doing on small gauge, long HE rounds as the accuracy is a scaling % modifier and, like fuses, has the same effect regardless of gauge, so having a long shell offsets the lost slot.
I really wish we had rifled barrels that reduced speed and increased recoil and accuracy more than the regular barrel, would be a nice tradeoff.
>>121875672
Try building barrels for optimum propellant burn
This build is also what clued me in on 8m loaders being borked
>>121876654
My god, I just realized how much barrel length we'll need to get any kind of accuracy on an 8m/500cm shell.
I mean at that point why even have it in the game, a cannon that fires once every minute and a half with mediocre accuracy wouldn't be worth the colossal investment even if it did 1 shot whatever it hit.
I mean, I'm still going to make one and attach helicopter blades to it, obviously. I wonder how much m/s you can get from recoil.
>>121876654
8m loaders are fucked? No wonder. I went to finally mess around with the new cannons, figured I'd go big or go home and tried making an 8m gun. Couldn't get it to work, and now I know why.
>>121876959
Those cannons in the pic, are 8m and max gauge.
It was 106m of barrel length for optimum propellant burn, some 60~ or so for accuracy
That's just from the calculator though.
I had to completely refit the hull to fit the guns though, they threw the CoM about a 3rd of the way up the barrels
>>121877383
Sounds totally stable, especially when firing, surely the recoil being applied at a wierd down-and-backwards angle while your CoM is elevated and infront of the ship will work out in your favor.
I feel like the actual retrofit of the paddlegunner should still have 6 guns, but 6 beltfed 125mm/1m shells that are half gunpowder half HE, or maybe less gunpowder, they should be slow enough that the AI has to arc them down so it creates that rain of bullets that the classic model has.

Just finished my first 'big' ship in the campaign, has 3x 200mm guns and 8x 60mm quad turrets, with 20 missiles in 4 turrets midships. She's a little slow now, but with the completion of the lower hull I'll be able to double the engine output.
Is it better to have two smaller engines or one large engine with the same number of components?

>>121878757
Neat. Engine power won't increase your movement speed though, you'll need more huge propellers for that, or to reduce your drag by sloping more sharply at the bow.
>>121878864
One by far, the power of the engine currently grows exponentially with each additional part, the more parts you have the more you gain from each.
>>121878884

Yeah, the bow is decently sloped now, the old design had a flat bottom and I just finished making it round in that pic.

>>121879537
>>121880612
The mast is relatively high, you can put a spinblock up there and mount the radar dish to its side for swag.
Also make sure your shields on the side of your hull aren't flat up against it, they won't really provide any additional protection, instead angle them downwards so they form a sort of V shape for maximum deflection angle from incoming shells when you're perpendicular. It'll increase your survivability substantially.

How does /egg/ like this walking frame?
It was getting stuck on dents in the floor quite a lot, so I came up with a quite keen solution and made feet bigger so it doesn't fit into holes anymore.
It's also quite damn fast for a walker mech.
>>121881768
>one foot alone is 3 times bigger than the actual ship
aaaand you fail
>>121881949
It's just the frame you idiot. I'm also experimenting a lot on the feet to make it able to go up hill, but I can't figure out how. I think it's just impossible in vrage since even 503826820 tonnes of metal will just slide down the hill like a sled.
>>121881062
This is what I've been aiming for across the whole of the ship atm. I was thinking of putting another layer further out, possibility on deflection.
Progress.
I've tested the gatlings and you can relatively easy aim them while the mech is stationary, I also made it possible for upper part to rotate 180+180 degrees.
Next step is making it survival viable.
>>121873709
Is that a shield inside your hull?
Dont do that, you get better effect having 2 shields being passed through. Make the first one a disrupt, amd the second reflect.
If a shield is inside your hull (assuming the outer shield has been breached), a he explosion will he/emp explosion will be close enough to take out the projector, and ap shells can bounce and hit your ship.
I've it, and its just not as effective as overlapping shields, like this baby >>121882776

After seeing some of the stupidly powerful shit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TUFIQR2QtA halfway through building a heavy Frigate I had an idea.
Has anyone tried mounting armour plates seperate to the main hull (ie on locked rotors so there's space between them and the hull) at angles? How much does angled armour reduce damage nowadays? I know it used to significantly.
I was also thinking of creating some sort of anti-missle flak cannons but I'm not sure how to get a lot of spread without using tons of surface area for the cannon(s).

Thursday.
What's your opinion on mixing tracers into nucannon ammo loads?
Using a 24:1 ratio of regular:tracer still gives a 2 bonus to accuracy.
Adding a tracer is piss cheap, as you only need another very short ammo controller.
However, it is likely not of much use to low-RoF cannons, and if the tracer muzzle velocity is different from the regular ammo, the cannon muzzle will shift up and down as it's adjusting trajectory for each round.
I'm not sure how the latter affects high-gauge cannons, but at 2 cm the aim adjustment is near instant - although regular ammo is often fired at tracer trajectory leading to complete miss.
>>121896496
>use autoloaders only
>Firing speed too slow
More autoloader.
>Use kinetic shells for clips
>kinetic do no damage
Kinetic is like a poor man's laser. Unlike HE, the damage dealt increases with impact velocity. see webm
Once affordable, I'd probably say fuck cannons and go straight for mile-long laser cavities.

>>121907693
Great. I hoped to see some alien trees. Would be pretty strange to only see earth trees.
But on the other hand spiders and humans seem to be the only kind of creatures.

And I am finally done building, texturing, mirroring, mounting and defining these ramps.

4x1x1, 5x1x1, 6x1x1 ramps, corner and inverted corner on the workshop soon, if anyone cares to build some super sleek looking shaps.

So my friend joined my spengies server (just us, not a proper server) and for some reason he can't see or interact with (collide even) most of my big ship. Like it's literally not there for some reason.
Anyone experienced this/got a fix?
Features
- Character crafting
- Updated respawn carts
Fixes
- multiplayer crashes fixes
- fixed bots missing in G-screen
- fixed the issue with missing terrain after joining the server
- fixed the issue with missing stats screen after committing suicide
- fixed the issue with ropes on a client
When will they stop with the fucking survival updates? How about adding more shit to build with? Or even better, optimize the game so i can actually fucking play it above silky smooth 15 FPS.

At least Starmad will become somewhat interesting if planets are required to produce ship crews.
Planetary control becomes important
Genocide becomes an option

A bit unorthodox, but not unreasonable. You could build the actual floor on top of them, no sweat.

Well, that just wouldn't work at all. Is this a ruse? Did you flip the picture?

When I saw Mengs the first time I thought it was just a fun "2 player build castle and destroy the ones of the other with balistic weapons game". It seems I was wrong.
>>121913210
Shit, soon I can go back to making the pointiest ships ever. Those 3x1 ramps just didn´t cut it.
>>121918750
8x1, 16x1 and 24x1 ramps when
>>121918932
>inb4 shaps so pointy they tear into reality
>>121918932
But ... why. ;_;
I coud make those right now. But that would really throw me off. Why. Why those lengths?
>>121913210
Light or heavy armor?

How to use rotating blocks in FTD? I can place them but I get stuck only being able to put things in the rotating part and can't exit that mode to place them on the rest of the ship. Also which one do you use Keyboard or mouse?
>>121919896
NO >>121919008
>>121919896
make a 64 long slope while you're at it
>>121920021
there's a key that cycles through subconstructables, but you can always just exit build and go back in build by hitting B
keyboard all the way
>>121919659
it says it in the what now?
>>121911219
Hopefully atmosphere will slow ships down
>>121920021
Use [ and ] to switch between editing hull and turrets.
Keyboard building is about a hundred times better and contrary to what the game tells you, you can learn it basically immediately.
>>121920196
>reentry heating never
I want to watch light armor burn up in the atmosphere. Doing it from the inside of a good sized ship wearing a rift set mite b cool
Are you ready for planets, /egg/-kun?
>Made a sub, cargo sub, a generic combat ship, a small fighter for distraction, a cargo airship with support artillery.
Honestly, I don't know what to make next.
>>121921723
Never have I felt more strongly convinced that this is the moment, the exact moment, that was calling for reaction images, and this particular one is the correct choice.
>>121921878
A ship that's designed to be fun.

Eh, I find my combat ship fun.
>>121921878
>>121922664
A hueg battleship
Slow and cumbersome but built like a tank and has crazy strong firepower
>>121922871
No.
Make an xboxhueg battleship that has horizontal dedicated helis along its length, letting it go super fast.
>>121922664
Build a ship that's only there for ramming others.
Or a ship that has a tip with explosives on the front.
>>121922871
This. Make a big-gun nucannon battleship and use it to hit things from way the fuck away. THen make heavy cruisers to escort them, and light cruisers geared towards flak.
>>121921896
>you´ll never be a little girl with a massive erection
why even live
>>121922639
Sure. Any combination is possible. But as these 36 definitions and the testing took me all day (also because I am using Blender and I am a shitter), I won't do any more today. I am gonna make 4x4x1, 5x5x1, 6x6x1 corners and inverted corners tomorrow, so eliteanon can actually build his cobra.
Then I might look into those and/or kill myself. I am not good at this. I literally got it down by running my face against a wall of convoluted shit I have no idea about until it came out the way it should. I made a friend of mine, who's a 3D artist, cry.
Pic related as a teaser about what she is working on - for Spengies.
>>121923594
/3/ has some useful resources, although this is pretty basic stuff
>>121923542
That's kinda boring. Honestly, I'd probably want orbital battles. Put some asteroids there for structures/resources and its set.
Until somebody lands and makes a base there, then it'd orbital bombardment time. Or drop pods with npcs for capture, if such a thing will be possible
>>121924210
Ditto. I'm excited for the spess aspect. Late game tech, resupply from planets, complicated ships.
>>121924415
As far as I know, orbital battles are just transition from planet to planet in future campaign, not actual open space.
I guess you'll be able to mod the map and make spawn point mid way to a much higher ceiling, so who knows

I kinda wish Starmad had FtD building system.
And FtD had multiple planes of symmetry.
>>121858397
>>121860280
On a side note, I stole this design for inspirational purposes and built my own variation.
This is what I came up with.
It's armed with 3 11mm turrets with 30 shells per minute RoF. 3-block shells consist of a composite head, a HE charge and a penetration fuse, with rest being gunpowder.
It's supposed to be a budget bewt and I'm fairly satisfied with it's test results.
>Infinity, that one space game that sounded amazing, as some giant open world do what you want it's like civ crashed into eve into freelancer or something but good finally has some new news come up, and some videos of gameplay

I had so much feels when it looked like this game was finally happening, and then it turns out to be planetandspaceside2. Fuck everything.
Planets on thursday. Talked with a KEEN dev.
Any guides to stop building shitseaboxes on FTD?
>>121929563
Steal other people's designs and build something of your own from them.
You'll eventually develop your own style.Hopefully.
