Well then, fine. I guess I just enjoy language. English was a good second language to pick up, as it turns out. :^)
>>128714314
You only set the gun itself to the weapon group, the turret itself (the rotating base) has to also be manually set.
>>128716346

Mostly unenforcable in court, except for the arbitration clauses. Thanks, SCOTUS!
>>128716971
If the arbitration clause works, doesn't that mean you don't get to go to court?
>>128717107
It means you have an "independent" arbitrator, in a state well known for siding with the companies, handle your case. If you do win, the maximum payout is usually somewhere in the $100 range. No, I am not missing zeroes.
>>128717320
Well duh, the arbitrator isn't gonna shit on the guy who pays his bills.
More questions about ACCs in FTD.
First, what does the number of barrels do? Just decrease the gauge while increasing the rate of fire?
Second, I set my turret to group 1, but when I go to group 1, it won't let me control it.
>>128717778
Scrab the second question, >>128716670 answered it.
Now, I've got the ammo thingies for them, I've got them plugged into the controller, I've got the transfer block on the turret and the ship, but it keeps saying that there's no ammo. What now?
>>128717778
It can increase rate of fire because the other barrels can fire while the first is still cooling down.
As for the turret, you have to be close to control it yourself. If you have a Fire Control Computer, you can control weapons anywhere on the ship as long as you're close to the computer itself. Good idea to put it next to your chair
Man, I'm in the Discord chat for KSH right now, and the guy behind SESE is the most jaded, hardassed Alpha-Apologist keendrone I have ever fucking seen.

this nignog is literally the ONLY PERSON in that reddit thread defending keen over this recent clusterfuck.
He's getting downvoted by his fellow redditors because they are ANGRY.
ANGRY ABOUT KEEN.
It's actually starting to look like something that isn't a total spess dick-brick!
Though it's supposed to be a fucking CORVETTE.
I wonder how maneuverable it is since it's closer to spherical shape with CoM somewhere near the center.
>>128720681
>That build spacing
Holy hell man, what are you trying to do?
>>128717778
Each of the barrels has its own independent cooldown. This means that A: The cannon can fire as many shots as it has barrels at the rate of one shot per frame if you have at least that many autoloaders, and B: Effective cooldown is divided by the number of barrels. The downside is, of course, the smaller shells.
>>128721531
If you're referring to the hazard striped blocks, those marked the future corridor that would lead to the aneurysm-bridge. However after I decided to put the entrance to the rear, along with corridor, this space is going to be used for a gigantic generator+cap setup. I'm starting to think that I overdid this ship's systems a bit.
What went wrong with Spengies now?
>>128722467
Keen
>>128722348
So for a one gun patrol boat with a missile rack that's probably gonna be relegated to escort duty, a double barrel is alright?
Also, I have the ammo customizer, that linker block thing and everything that the guide says I need, but it's not actually firing, any idea why not?
Think it is really worth trying to contact Marek regarding the fucked up updates? He seemed legitimately unaware of and unhappy about the state of the game, maybe this is our chance to push him into making his team competent?
>>128723104
Double barrel should be fine, what's your shell size and shell setup?
You've assigned shells to the inputs?
How large are your autoloaders?
>>128723396
Uh I don't have it open right now, but iirc the shells are 80cm long, with... shaped charge, HE, fins and tracer.
My autoloader is 1m.

That should flow fine with the current slopes. I'd extend it downwards four or five meters by just duplicating the slopes below it, then curve it off with corner and inverted corner blocks.

Oh, I wasn't getting negative feedback. I'm being hailed as a hero of the ages for being the most kindly saint in history and making a female model, and sticking it to those big misogynists over at keen who didn't make one themselves(despite being pretty obvious why they don't).
>>128726347
Oh, yeah, I can see where that would get on nerves.
>(despite being pretty obvious why they don't).
Besides not being able to do anything right, I don't see why Keen wouldn't, at least eventually, add other character models.
FtD campagin spawn resource is now 12 Natural and 12 Metal, thank god for that, natural with scrap rarity was insane.
Also is the Irelan fortress now the default?
Because it's a fucking eyesore.
>>128722451
I mean the clusterfuckery of jamming essential ship blocks in one location. You get better capacity and regen capabilities by spacing out energy and shield blocks throughout your ship, not just cramming them into one section like that.

Apparently firing two 500mm cannons with relatively little recoil mitigation has, well, goddamn immense recoil. It shoved the entire thing back at 4 m/s.

So, FtD bros, this is the hull of my basic destroyer type. It's pretty narrow, as ships go.
It's decently stable without any real loading, but with turrets and such, it can capsize when turning hard, and the freeboard is a bit low for my tastes.
Any tips for designing a stable ship with high freeboard?
>>128730209
>this "corvette" already had way more energy than it could possibly utilize.MORE DAKKA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_stability
>>128730302
Kek.
But for real, my plan for that thing is to have that monster in the front, a smaller cannon in the back, then have some AA turrets on either side.When I make a full on battleship, I'm thinking three of those giant motherfuckers. In the front and in the back. With more, smaller cannons on the sides.And missiles.
>tfw might someday go back and make a ship for these turrets
>>128730818
I'll put more dakka on the cruiser. Diverse dakka too.
Actually, this thing looks lot more like a frigate than a corvette - 2 weapon and 2 mod "slots", whether corvette should have 1 weapon and 2 mod slots i.e. cannon+cannon+mod, all 1:1 with ratio.
>>128731983
When we get AI fleets, use those for new battleships. Then we produce enough ships to make every single /egg/man and admiral.

Also scavenging fleet to salvage shipwrecks and mine everything we can.Shipyards on ships fucking when?Elevators on ships when? I wanna see a Silly Drive-powered titan clanging enemies to death.
>>128731983
What game?
FtD: the front end of the ship should be nice and pointy without too many large flat angles to catch fire, but how ought the back of the ship be designed?
>>128734364
However you want if you're never going in reverse, much the same way as the front if you intend to back that aft up in a hurry.
>>128729801
I feel like this tip will be helpful for you, so I slaved over this diagram for many hours in Photoshop.
Basically, there's something I call the "center of recoil." It's a conceptual thing rather than something to be calculated, but it's useful to keep in mind. Basically, the high-recoil turrets should be behind the center of mass. Remember that that's not necessarily the big guns; I once neglected to place any recoil mitigation on the AA guns of a cruiser, so they were causing far more recoil at 400rpm than the main guns were at 20rpm, even though the force per shot was far lower.
Anyway, if the center of recoil is ahead of the center of mass (green circle in the pic), then the front of the ship is pushed away from the red enemy ship. If it's behind, then the front of the ship is pushed in the direction of the enemy. The idea is that you're using your guns as steering aids. This is especially important for casemate ships (think floating Vindicators)
I hope this wasn't so stupid that it was completely unhelpful or so pedantic that you've given up at this point and aren't even reading this sentence, but it's 2 in the morning right now and the parts of my brain governing language and the restraint of autism have clocked out for the weekend.
>>128734364
Round the edges so it doesn't look ugly, but flat so you can fit as many propellers on there as possible.
>>128733364
I mean at least give me the option to issue waypoint commands to groups of ships so I can fight things without being there.
>>128734146
Starmade. 2 blocks is about the height of a player character.
>>128734696
>Basically, the high-recoil turrets should be behind the center of mass.
If and only if you want the ship to turn towards the enemy when engaged. If you want it to turn away, by all means mount them to fore.
But yes, that's a rather important thing to consider when designing a ship.
>>128734680
I thought FtD didn't give a fuck how gracefully curved your boxy ass is when it comes to aerodynamics?
>>128735007
It does when you're going in reverse. Other than that, it doesn't give a shit as long as your fat aft isn't the widest part of the ship.
>>128735007
Make a box, put inside it an aerial AI, fuel, a chair and an engine. Put tailplanes on the back and some jet engines, along with two stubby little wings made of ailerons. Remember how fast it's going.
Now cover the front in slopes and check again how fast it's going. You should see a substantial gain in speed.
>>128734897
You can design your own weapons in starmade? Fugg
>>128733364
Oh is there a server that /vg/ plays on for StarMade? I got like at least 2 people who are looking to play again.

Sort of, its mostly just groups of blocks together will fire a weapon of whatever the weapon type is. But when you start combining weapon types is when shit gets fun.

>>128736362
what would an ion missile cannon look like
>>128736490
It's 15$ on steam
>>128736660
Rapid-firing dumb-fire missile launcher that deals most/all of the damage to shields.
Mite b gud actually for quickly taking down shields without damaging the ship itself.Ion Beam + Stopping/Energy drain Beam in logic setup seem really good for GOP STOP'ing and general annoyance.
>>128736660
>ion missile cannon
Youd get fast dumb firing rockets that do good damage against shields, but do piss poor damage to blocks/structure.
But you can totally customize the ratios in which you combine weapon blocks. You dont have to use 1:1:1 ratio to get 100% of everything all the time.
Ion converts regular damage into boosted shield damage.
Adding cannon increases reload time, but reduces damage.
You can mix and match those two modifiers attached to your missiles to get all sorts of super specific weapons.
>>128736992
Get the Demo version. Its the full game and its free until they come out of Alpha/Beta and decide its complete enough to remove/limit the demo version.

Unless you're a sick masochistic pervert, this shit ain't fun.
What IS fun is watching your carefully-designed ship blast the shit out of some dorko's artship that he brought to the battlefield in hopes of pointing and laughing at the "ugly" pieces of military and utilitarian art and winning the battle by making his opponent cry.Then it turns out that the retard didn't even saved his shit and it was the only copy on the serb which makes it so much more satisfying to read his assplosion in the chat.
About to give FtD a try. I've got a question though. Am I better off aiming to put lots of resources into single hyper capable vehicles or aiming for a diverse fleet with multiple roles?
>>128740185
Well, you can always try capturing enemy ships, so I guess you can kinda do whatever.
Granted, I've only watched Robbaz's videos of FtD so far, so I have no first-hand experience yet.
Alright StarCucks, I'm coming in hot
>>128740185
It's a question of risk versus reward. A single large ship is a lot less likely to get totaled, but if it does then you're fucked. It's also hard to get the resources early to make such a monster in the first place.
A fleet is more likely to take losses, but replacements come cheap and easy. You can also expand over time from the start.
I'm personally of the opinion that a few medium ships beats both a single giant and a swarm of gnats.
>>128711693
Ced, your 'official statements' are incredibly well-worded and a pleasure to read.
since in FtD you play as a robot wouldnt it make sense to make all your bases underwater if possible for maximum security?
>>128742597
Why do you have to be a robot for that? You have air pumps if you're human.
Although I am surprised to see less underwater bases, since rounds slow down a bunch in water. Maybe its because its harder to defend against torpedoes?
>>128740185
It really depends on the preference of the player really. A couple of people like me prefer to make ships for certain roles while others may prefer jack of all trades ones like the starting DWG campaign ship.
It's part of the fun.
>>128742762
i think flares still work underwater and the concept of an interceptor torpedo intrigues me
>>128742762
I thought it's because resource collection doesn't work underwater?
what do i do with all this excess natural resource if my vehicles are bottlenecked with metal and scrap
>>128743447
Use wood instead of metal/alloy for armour.
>>128743624
but i dun wanna maek botes with wood unless it uses sails and sails are awkward as fuck
dammit i need to design myself some airships or attack helicopters with this stuff
>>128743356
i dont know if thats true but if it was, your home base doesnt necessarily have to be on a resource node
>>128744040
Don't even bother. Unreliable as fuck.
Just use heliblades for lift and propulsion.
Requires no fuel, generates no heat and pretty reliable. The downside is that ambient temperature will not make you invisible to IRs, as well as still being a relatively easy target.
When are we going to be able to put turrets on turrets in FTD?
Is it just me or when you attach an aircraft to a surface fleet and tell the group to move somewhere the aircraft nosedives because it thinks all vehicles need to be at sea level?

Well, its an answer to Why build ships instead of airships, I guess.
The question of why build ships when you can make subs still exists though
>>128755440
Also, clang propelled space program.
Dock a plaftform beneath the rocket and shoot upwards
>>128754184But the very idea of a space suit is liberatingly androgynous. Inside a space suit, we are all one; nothing but a human, until you talk on the comms.
Is there some way to keep my ships from sinking while under construction in the vehicle designer in From the Depths without having to build a small fortress first just to house a dock?
>>128756061Yeah, I totally agree. Honestly I was hoping when keen added the ability to remove helmets that there'd be a generic male and a generic female face, because that was all the differentiation the game needed.
They didnt, and I didnt care enough to do it myself.
Playing as a guy doesnt bother me. Its nice to have a choice, but if I couldnt bear playing as a guy I wouldnt have been able to play 90% of the games ive loved over the years. Fuck that noise.

>>128756061This is yet another fucking reason why I hate Squad so much. They dedicate a significant amount of time into making "girlbals", where kerbals were already perfectly androgynous caricatures of little green men. It's incredibly fucking retarded on a development, political and marketing level, and only panders to the latest trend of liberal bullshit.
Sure, having the option between male and female is good in a protagonist driven game. KSP is neither protagonist driven nor does it have a player controlled character.
With spengies, Keen should have simply saved themselves the effort of making a helm-less character and just keep it on all the time. It would make the base model more 'iconic' yet still be all inclusive and workable. Adding a helm-less model just made more problems and took time away from >developing the >game

If you were reasonable enough to make coherent and logical decisions, you wouldn't out yourself as a woman in the first place, unless your real identity is somehow relevant.

It's important for some people that their character is the same gender they are. I can't really relate, but I don't see anything wrong with it. And although people who care about inane bullshit like english-language pronouns are sometimes annoying, as long as she isn't trying to get me to learn new ones she made up, she's fine in my book.
Do you actually find her objectionable as a person, or are you just upset that she's bringing her tumblr politics to something you saw as YOUR group? Because that's just pathetic. There is no such thing as a safe space, and whining about it won't change things. No matter how tightly you close your eyes, the world and its people aren't going to stop existing.

What do you mean by this exactly? Did you add the salvage computer to your hotbar? (T) Is only part of your array firing when you control it from the core?
>>128734696
Nah I'm still here. Thanks mate.
My current problem right now is that I think I made the guns for this lil patrol boat way too goddamn big, it keeps sinking.
>>128764163
Yea, added computer and salvage lazors, set them as slave and it worked. Some time. Then I tried to add cannon computer to increase firing speed and it didn't work, reverted everything to the previous state and I still could operate mining lasers from salvage computer, but not from the core. And In "t" salvage computer group didn't show up. And then I removed everything and assemble it again and it worked fine. Dunno what'v fcked up that time.
Hey guys, what happened...?
Everything is gone. All my ores, components, construction ships...
>>128768449
Normally the only time I've seen a computer not show up is when it gets slaved to a logic block, you might have somehow accidentally broken the connection between the core and the computer. If you have the problem again try selecting your core in build mode and slaving the computer to it.
>>128756223
>Honestly I was hoping when keen added the ability to remove helmets that there'd be a generic male and a generic female face, because that was all the differentiation the game needed.
I kinda expected this too, but I can see how that'd open them up to "diversity" of races complaints.

>>128767954
You wont be able to pull large guns off on such a small craft as a general rule missiles(Or torpedoes) work better for small craft.If you really want a gun on that id recommend a small caliber AA or a deck gun with the guts of the gun placed in the hull and the firing piece contained in a small turret the gauge could probably be a 120-160mm single barrel.Also rethink that hind keel you should be able to work it out of the design it would gain you quite a bit of speed.If for some reason you cant handle the recoil or you face stability issues consider making it a trimaran it wont make the ship too costly and it doubles as armor.
>>128770476
the game is purely creative with little to no more depth than creating, perhaps you can make battlebots or such, but the game while clang-free it's quite in an early stage to be hyped for(didn't saw pistons yet, only suspension for example)
perhaps when we get a survival and more blocks we might try to make a community in it
There are a large amount of blocks missing from my ships. Cockpits, conveyors and tubes, basically anything that isn't armored blocks. Ced this is bad. I can also fly through the armored blocks as if they aren't there.

Since the spengies server decided to fuck all my shit, I'm trying out FTD.
I am trying to understand advanced cannons.
I designed a shell, built a cannon with the required gauge, and slapped an autoloader and magazines on. All parts work, but the cannon isn't loading any shells. The designer says my shell is something like .68 meters, so I'm using the 1m shell clip. Why can't I load?
>>128780676
My first curved hull, there's an inner hull of wood with a lead floor, it'll probably need a proper keel if I put any turrets on it but I'm hoping I can make a sub out of this too.
>>128781159
no ammo router and your inputs probably aren't connected. press Q on your inputs on the cannon and hook them up to the shell customizer
