- *Like void coloured lasers, so like pretty neat lasers. Not the starcraft unit, the Void Ray.
I love this weapon but It's a little odd looking in battles, feedback very wanted! This took SO much longer than I expected but really hope everyone enjoys this idea, at least in one video!!

Hey Lath. Seeing your laser turrets, it might help you to know that the laser transceiver can receive laser beams on its sides as well as the top. This means that it can be placed horizontally, making turrets less tall.
LOVLY, mean i can have some intresting concepts ot be done. as seeing this DOES make my old builder itch rattle back
Honestly, the fact that I knew this while lathrix didint… I… how the FUCK
I've been wanting to see some particle cannon action! Oh this will be beautiful.
If you want my suggestion for weapons to use, I still recommend rapid fire particle cannon turrets. Yes, they're stupid, yes, they are anathema to the concept of efficient, but I love my death spaghetti.
@@weaponizedpizza8825 I too love rapid death spaghetti
Put the cockpit on a turret so it's like a ball turret from a bomber
I don't think you've played FTD
@@imperialguardsman135i made one controlled by ai with a dummy cannon it points at the enemy and i control the real guns
@@imperialguardsman135 Guardsman, you need to spend more time around those creepy oil-eaters in the Adeptus Mechanicus. They make some weird shit (when they aren't killing each other over them and making the Dark Angels seem wide open about their secrets.........wait, why do I see Asmodai coming towards my house?)
I started watching you due to from the depths.
Same
Same
same and i bought the game becauseog it ... I have like less than 100h and just canr do anything 😅
I say keep the lasers. Boost the power and add a few more rtgs to help with cost-over-time. Then, cause you do need something with more kick to finish harder targets, an array of doom-crams, like a bomb version of this (ua-cam.com/video/cbUpsAJBZ44/v-deo.html)
agree, tho maybe instead of a bomb cram.... do a huge missile and can they still target with no engine when droped like a bomb? would be cool and massive dmg
@@stormy9196 ooo, idk if missile fins work under gravity acceleration but that would be sick
@@GargoyleZoo like the rods from god in call of duty ghost lmao
@@GargoyleZoo Fins work but not well in space, you get turning thrusters for missiles meant for space but fins would be fine for a huge missile bomb
@@danielbovv5441 well a ejector would get it into atmosphere easily enough
Lathrix, have you ever made a harpoon seat , essentially a lunch pod where you sit and get shoot into at a ship to capture it , be the shell you always wanted to be
now i need one for my neth campign
More, Bigger Lasers! Lasers are nice in general though some kind of downward firing orbital strike Particle Cannon could be cool as well. Generally energy weapons make sense due to the extra sci-fi feel of the style of craft.
a downwards-facing laser array could be cool, like that one battleship he made for the neter campaign, though this may take a TON of resources, i think it would be a cool end goal
@@Derpyliscous9107 Agreed, either a rain of small lasers slicing things apart or one massive doom laser melting away whole sections would look awesome!
I'd like to see a single rail gun under the ship at max gauge with a really slow rate of fire, but with devastating speed and damage. One shot one kill.
YES
Plasma and lasers would be a great pairing - go full sci-fi with it!
I'd love to see some cluster magnetic mines being dropped from on high so you can also hit vulnerable underbellies on ships too
you should make your own stellaris gigastructures in from the depths like a flloating dyson sphere as your main base
While possible, both to make the dyson sphere and to do this idea in general,
1. it would only be usefull in the Neter Campaign,
2. this idea is really expensive, cus you would need to build big structures to capture the look of stuff like the sphere very early and would hurt you for the entire run
3. this gimmick runs out fast, so even if you could afford to make the sphere in the Neter Campaign, you would end at the stellar systemcraft and then just have to end the campaign early (and if you were talking about megastructures, even earlier).
@@koenhartholt7033 i mean you don't need to start with a dyson sphere u can start with like just a habitat and there are an absolute ton of gigastructures so like just have him base all of his vehicles around megastructures and ships from stellaris
As this is currently a void ray, here's some starcraft 2 inspired secondary weapons, from some of the games other capital units.
Ultralisks have a headbut attack. So space plane ramming vehicle. tassadar style.
BCs have yamato cannon. So A massive particle cannon that takes ages to recharge.
Carrier has interceptors. a number of little space planes which fly out and shoot the thing for you. Possibly make them bombing craft.
Alternatively, just add in some burst lasers to supplement your constant lasers. Keep it all thematic and stuff.
Orbital Mega Cram! Love your stuff man thanks for putting your time in 👍
Love the Space lasers, feel very austin powers. Adding a particle cannon like a slow firing massive one would be like the GDI weapon from command and conquer.
one or two, very very large cram cannons, that dump a round or two that are unbelievably chonky
Keep the lasers, but also have some little detachable pac-pods that can fly independently.
Basically, have your laser-plane in space, and then drop some pods filled with PAC, to blast your enemies out of existance
One GIANT missile strapped to the bottom. So big it can only be fired once per flight.
Could do a kinetic warhead for laughs, or or all explosive, so it turns everything into a doughnut (by way of giant hole in the middle)
I just enjoy watching you have fun, so I say go for missles. Let the specter of the E. Coli be reborn, and dominate your foes with frame wrecking missle spam!
Can you keep with the insectoid theme? Maybe make some mini drones shaped like flies, bees, gnats, termites, and other small flying bugs? Another idea keeping in line with the whole "bug army" idea is along side the smaller "mini drones", you could have some larger drones shaped like beetles, hornets, wasps, mantises, mosquitoes, ladybugs, cockroaches, or other dragonflies. You could make an army with you being the matriarch, like a queen.
I understand if this might not be possible in the Adventure mode, but I believe this would make a great challenge in one of the more normal campaigns. The Ashes of the Empire campaign would probably be the best/easiest campaign to do this in, but it could work in any of the other ones too.
I think the lasers are doing fine as long as your target isn't too thickly armored. Great for zapping off pesky bits like LAMS, cannon barrels, and detection components. (Though a bit of a tip that might also be a nit-pic, the laser transmitter-things can still receive energy from any direction. You can really cut down the connectors by placing them horizontally, just make sure you have some blocks holding it on).
I do think you need something that can pack a punch at range, like a railgun or large missile. I don't think it would need to be anything fancy or fast-firing, just big enough to crack open the armor in a few shots so your lasers can slurp up the juicy bits.
14:36 you killed a TREBUCHET with the lasers! WOW
I would love to see non propelled missiles crammed with explosives and some small guidance systems
Some Bunker buster bombs would probably help and some misdile intercepters and flares/decoys are a must too.
For a cockpit I really like using cameras to cover the sides that are hidden by the craft/armour. Additionally a camera mounted on a turret and the linked screen on a turret inside the cockpit so you can aim and still see the screen can be used to make it look quite cool. You can even have a composite screen with different levels of zoom.
However I've only ever used that concept on larger crafts with plenty of space.
But if the choice is more armour or a cool looking command centre it's clear what I will choose... I should mention that my crafts tend to either be quite fragile or so big a d expensive that I can't use them outside the sandbox.
Comically large particle cannon and huge armoured engine pods!
I like how the lasers looked like birds feet, though the pods will mess up that look.
The toughest foe for your space fighter so far was a sailship. FtD can be an interesting game.
As for the weapons, anything is fine. I'm not against missiles but something else might be welcome for a change since missiles are what you usually go for.
Khorne be praised, like a chaos warships harvesting souls from low orbit :)
I would love to see particle cannons, they can be quiet fun
Lasers are cool but projectile weapons are just soooo satisfying
Reminds me of A flying spinal column. If you are going to make the front section larger/deeper. You could put smaller point defense autocannons. Or A huge particle cannon stack on the belly.
I would love to see you make some mini fighters to send out, seeing as your fighting mostly from space having little cram dive bombers that just shoot down like a missile to drop a nasty payload and then hightail it back up would be epic!
i would like to see one giant laser just buzz through enemies, and maybe a giant spaceship with a ton of other lasers
I'd use many lasers and small missiles, swarm their defences with the missiles and have a large continuous laser with many pulsating smaller ones.
what i usually do for my laser turrets is i use a elevation only turret on top of a azimuth only turret, but have an elevation for each lens, making the main turret frame not clip into anything and tuning the elevation turrets so that they dont clip into the main part of the turret. if im feeling like torturing myself, i use a second set of azimuth turrets on their sides for elevation instead of the elevation only turrets, i like my turrets this way and nobody can change my mind.
I like Lazer
Making a glass room that looks down like a pod or something would work well for seeing everything
I will always vote for partical cannons. Ever since I got started with your 2020(?) Adventure series, I have had a fondness for your use of them. Besides, when I think of Space Lasers, I don't really imagine a beam of continuous enegery, but a sudden PEW of death that annihilates a victim.
That said, some day I would love to see a more automated Adventure craft. No manual aim, just pilot to the corpses. But that's because I enjoy learning about how to get the AI to do things and optimize the craft. I'm weird.
This vulture could have multiple different finishing weapons for combating different types of vehicles. A cram bomb, missile bomb, and particle cannon doom beam.
Mostly though I think it should have a melee drone/capturing vehicle, to get closer with the surface dwellers...
CRAM bombs would be fun... imagine just dropping a gigantic armor piercing bullet on the enemies. Just drop comically large anvils on the enemies.
Either a doom cram bomb or a single huge missile for nuking things from space (no thrusters)
0:45 ...Particle DOOM, from the belly of the craft. So you can say that the kill shot would come from the "belly of the beast".
I'll see myself out.
Small EMP pacs? Also the damage type on them could be changed by ACBs.
Any kind of anti-missile defenses.
Sonar buoys to be able to target subs?
Harpoons to drag your victims to space? :D
Lasers aren't exactly my favorite weapon because they're too cheesy and definitely takes a lot less skill but it will be interesting to see if you could even make a flyer with mortars and have it work as intended and while particle cannons kind of fall into the same category as lasers it would definitely be interesting to see some sort of particle Cannon auto-shotgun hybrid
Not sure why, but I would love to see a massive Shipbuster missile going throught the spine of this... creature. No idea why, but a thing in space launching a dreadnaught buster missile at large targets it's normal weapons can't handle, just sounds bloody fun
I would like to see the lasers stay bit to help deal with high health enemies as you mentioned would be a problem have a doom cram or more likely a railgun
Love the lasers and yeah a secondary huge damaging weapon would help this craft tremendously (PAC's might be to expensive and big for this craft (tho don't quote me on this) so maybe a "shotgun"like railgun?)
Love ya content Lathrix and of course, the tyranid gargoyle abomination you have created
Hey Lath, something to dabble in the future, could make a weapon and then design the craft around it, think of it like the A10, might just spark a crazy idea and a even crazier creation
ANTIGRAVATON RAM'S! I WANT you to bring them into a brwaling distance in SPACE.
to be honest I cant remember seeing to much lasers in these videos, so I think sticking with them would be interesting
What about pulling a Twin Guard and get some floating turrets around it? Could be helpful as an early warning device and defense. Could be very versatile.
Railguns, lasers, crams, mortars, basic weapons, missiles. Everything BUT particle weapons
“Prismatic beams aligned”
IF you go lasers, go all out with lasers. Go defensive with that system. Intergrate it with your craft make it one with the laser, before adding a doom partical cannon. And I would just do the partical cannon with extra cheese. Makes the partical cannon mobile.
I love both lasers and particle cannons. And I always fail to make them viable in terms of damage and damage per material.
What about adding particle cannons with the lasers? That could be fun to watch. :)
Uuuh one really huge missile, kinda last strike missile. And when it gets close, it split into thumbheat missle shredding the enemy
I would like to see either a one shot mega cram cannon or cram bomb. Something absurd and unreasonable for a change. lol
It looks awesome to me and the lasers are too, I hope you are having a wonderful day/week!!!
Disable with lasers, bomb with crams, because crams are fun.
the Sky bird flys high
The laser seems really inefficient. I don't know if a single beam would be better or not, cutting things in half. Other than that, I really liked those burst fire rotary cannons you had early in the last episode.
Massive bombs would be cool. Weather there cram or missile you can choose
There's a thing about lasers... Your barrel need to be 5 times longer.
very interested in seeing some kind of Covenant cruiser style glassing beam from halo
Will a missile with fins but no rockets still track the target? If yes, you could build a rack of smart bombs. Bomb bays would be cool, but I get the feeling that they're unguided, which is terrible from this height.
kram bomber sounds cool. Haven't seen many of those
Cram Bombardment will be fun
Its starting to look like the alien's from the movie Battleship.
i think you should rain thousands of tiny missile clusters on your enemies.
def love the laser turrets
Maybe one Adv Cannon for medium range oof? Thanks so much for this, I love watching FTD!
I know you haven’t done RC in a long time, but there’s a community project kicking around that basically runs a server right at the respawned and overclocked patch if you want to check it out
Hear me out… massive guided bombs
Can you finish the ship you made the front of in the last episode at some point? I think it looks great so i'd love to see It completed.
since you are gonig for an insectoid look you could design the turrets as the mandibles or some kind of scorpion tail.
Big cannons. All the big cannons.
And maybe a few lasers, people say variety is the spice of life, so... Why not both?
I think that a bomb whoud work well and I think that you should add the paricul canon
Hey Lathrix, I tried to get into FtD awhile ago but i never really understood where to start. I think i did some in-game tutorials at one point but i don't really remeber anything from them. I tried looking for beginners guides on yt but every single one is over a year old, and the ones i watched were... okay. I was wondering if you'd be willing to either do an up to date beginner's guide, point me in the direction of one, or at the very least give me a few tips
Hey Lath. Why don't you do cram bombs with some sort of lasers on the wings for a laser bombardment of sorts.
MORE STONEHEARTH
use a regulator on your laser so that it becomes like an alpha strike and you can use small rail guns in the wings for constant damage
I personally think the lasers are very weak in comparison to the railguns. Yes, they're instant and cheap (relative to railguns), but just do very little damage. I feel like a railgun barrage "alpha strike" that you showcased in the last episode would have destroyed that broadsider with relative ease.
Could you put red pipes running chaotically all over it, or is making the bone plated space craft "veiny" too much?
It would be super cool to have huge missiles grapple the target and pull them into space
17:00 anyone else see his craft looks a lot like kyogre from pokemon
looking forward for particle cannons
So lathrix, what's your current opinion of quest for Neter?
I think dropping cram ordinance from space would be incredible
i like the lazors, and am in favour of particle cannons! ;)
Might it be possible to make multiple lasers to carve the enemy to pieces in one blow
The ship reminds me of Kyogre.
if u could do some simple weapons for like anti missle and cam bombs for high burst would be great
Wait dragonfly? They have 4 wings with the second set aiming up left and right while the first set is left right
Kinda like an X if it was more like the upper half of an X and a - instead
Why don’t you add like a bomb or like a secondary craft to the bottom of the plane?
I want to see you build suicided craft :D make your craft a carrier. if that's not something you want to do then my second choice is make a cannon that shoots guided bombs.
CRAM BOMB!!
ok but real talk, my favorite craft that you have made was the penguin cram bomber, and I feel that you tend to avoid cram when making builds in favor of missiles, particle or advanced cannon. I feel that we dont see cram as much anymore. Justice for mah boi!
Could be fun to make a laser guided bomb craft.
How do you lock onto to something without having to keep your mouse on it?
Thanks lath!
"Like piloting a whale through the atmosphere." So you've finally noticed that it's space-Kygore, not a dragonfly?
