Boat: *Is not a canoe.*
Borderwise: "How weird. This intrigues me for some reason." =)
“Not the most meta, but makes me happy” is a good way to sum up ironfudges personal and campaign craft lol
Absolutely correct. I just try to make stuff as effective as I can without resorting to crazy meta strategies
@@IronFudge123 It's nice when you manage to pull off a ship that looks decent but actually hits hard despite that. I know I've got a few light ships that used APHE railguns (Unfortunately outdated nowadays), and I really enjoyed rolling them out to fight against the opposing craft.
They were really good at killing turrets and the like, so you often got to see turret detonations, but they actually looked like ships and used absolutely no cheesy mechanics like up-props or dedi-blades to beat down opponents and stay afloat. Counter flooding was incredibly fun to work out the mechanics of, as was setting up the whole ship with redundant buoyancy without having it bob around like a cork.
Thanks for spotlighting my little boat here!
The shell design probably isn't the best no. I don't know much about good shell design so I kinda just throw on something basic that works okay.
Regarding the engine; as another commenter said, it's just one I threw together for the boat without much thought. Radiators no longer have a downside, they just reduce the heat of the engine meaning better ppm so I just plopped a bunch on in the space I could.
I only tested it against the DWG and SS so that's why the laser and EMP protection is so awful. I'll probably look to improve that, so thanks for highlighting it.
It's adorable man, nice work! And uh, what's with the pistons rofl
@@iemozzomei Borderwise hit it on the head. It's just to lower them by half a meter into the deck for aesthetics
You're welcome! You have a neat selection on the workshop, they all seem pretty nice. 😁
@@IronFudge123 Ahhh, I heard that but it seems to have gone in one ear and out the other xD
You can never go wrong with pure frag for shells
This craft reminds me that I should get into mimics and decorations more. My ships don't look very nice but they do their jobs. It's not bad but every time I look at them it feels like they are missing a personal touch.
I mostly use those for turrets and for smoothing out my ship hulls.
I currently have a real problem with getting back into FTD because I want to build nice looking stuff like I have done in the past, but I'm setting a high mountain for myself to climb right from the start which isn't very smart. I just can't bring myself to build a functional, floating, box - even if it does wreck face. I'd have to relearn how to build something good and vaguely good looking, and it'd take so long that I know I won't end up finishing it :(
@@tommeakin1732 i stopped playing the game for around a year or so, hopped back in and made a functional sailing galleon the same day, muscle memory for from-the-depths does NOT leave you, at least not very quickly, if you were good at making ships before, you will get good at making ships again, trust me on that.
@BorderWise No radiators don't use fuel anymore or affect efficiency. In fact by making your engines run cooler they improve it. In effect they let you get away with fewer exhausts
Whelp, that confirms my tests and means I need to redo my fuel engine tutorials. XD
@@BorderWise12 Welcome to FtD :P.
"Easy to get carried away building huge battleships...."
Yep i know that one.
Upvote if you have the same issue :), lets see how many of us that is.
I used to build huge battleships like you... then I got addicted to canoes. 🛶
ugh
*yes*
Best way to limit how big your BBs are is just build the outside first
I have a different problem I want to build massive ships but I just can't. My biggest ship is barely as big as the marauder and I just can't seem to build big
I feel personally attacked with my 13x13 turret wells.
@@zeash482 Just go ham
make a 250 long stick and expand from there
The piston the guns are on also serve a seconary (maybe not intentional) purpose, they make it emp immune, since if EMP hits the hull, it cant take out the weapon controller
A interesting thing with engines especially injector engines is that the lower the temp that the cylinders run at, the more efficient they will be for PPM, so essentially the more radiators that you put on a engine the more efficient it will be.
That thing that stands out to me about that engine is that it runs really cool. I imagine the IR signature of the boat is really small.
In case no one commented, but heat drops piston power more than anything now, so radiators are now viable and recommended to keep your power and fuel efficiency higher.
Maybe the radiators is to keep exhaust temp low that way IR has a harder time locking?
If you remember "Scott's Engine Platform," you can take one of his "best 5x5 turbo" engines, cut it in half (just delete all the blocks above the crankshaft) then reconnect everything so the turbos all work properly, you get n engine with I think 676 power/material and quite good performance. If you run it properly (optimize for bursts, meaning you want more engine than you need and request power in bursts, aka railguns and particle cannons and the like) you should get full use of that 670+ efficiency. (Turbos, if you remember, are more efficient the higher their rpm.)
You can contrast this with supercharged engines, which should run lower, but you still want to build for overperformance so that they can run at much lower rpm. (I might recommend 0.3-0.4 rpm limit if you want a guess.) This will get you at 700-1000+ power/material, but with higher upfront costs.
600 PPM is pretty good, the engine also runs very cool so maybe it's to reduce IR signature?
PPM is rather good and more important than PPV, but at 30 this fuel engine is really lacking in the latter. Does it matter so much for a little boat? Not really.
I suggest my Kirov design
im VERY proud of the Bomb replenishing mechanism
yes, it drops Tactical Nukes
and it uses a revolver design to drop up to 80 of them in a single battle!
As my gf says
Enjoy the little things

Another craft to look at is a FTD DWG ship call the Mistraider, if I am remembering correctly. It has loads of artfully hidden things like sloped armor and clever spots of detection. All done with mimics, I can't fathom the time put into such things.
You dont add turn props anymore because you use spin block azi pods.
True, my azipod addiction renders turning props superfluous. XD
Fun vid, always like these. I really like how the superstructure flows into the hull of the boat here!
Ah bugger, I should've said that exact sentence in the video because I also like it. XD
Every time i try to build small boats the only way they float is with a full PID pitch roll hover controller. Amor and stuff is just so heavy.
I really like this ship and this series.
Turbocharger no longer provide addtional cooling very long ago. The only cooling without radiator is exhaust pipe but this small boat doesn't have much space to do those piping. That's why he use radiator. btw, radiator is a lot better for small engine.
Yeah, when I started putting fuel engines in my airships I just slapped some radiators on it for good measures.
that thumbnail is very creative :D
Thanks, it took me ages. 😜
Just want to say as a new player to FtD this ship has been my workhorse through the early game as I learned to build myself. Is it the strongest? No. Is it cost effecitve? so far, hell yes. I'm a huge fan of the boat and I just wanted to thank you for taking a deep dive on this design.
Always questioned why you need props on the bottom of Your ship. I'd suggest learning to build both small and large ships that can float and are stable with no power and no dediblades. It takes a bit of knowledge, and a fair bit of practice
Yeah, it takes a LOT of practice. Totally worth it, though.
I dont really see how it takes any of that, all you have to do is use alloy and pumps, then anything can float
@@thegamingcat3202 Mostly because to keep something like the Tyr afloat, stable and under 20k blocks means few large empty compartments and some restraint on the alloy spam...
@@BorderWise12 i dont get it, what do you mean?
@@thegamingcat3202 Basically: some ships are really compact and heavy, and unpowered buoyancy isn't enough.
With the fuel engine, you t remove the radiators and compare those stats to it with them.
Another tip, with propellers on the bottom of boats you can just cover them with mimics then remove their particle effects, What I do on my boats is layer of armour, propeller, amour and mimic
Pew?
finally a ship i like... not a big godly flying super deadly doom frigate....
The AP round on it is a little over 40 AP, which is pretty useful against metal armor.
lol, the funny thing is, I just played a game of chess against somebody and he corned me using rooks.

hey borderwise i know you don't make subscriber craft review but is there like some stuff you craft should fill to be in wierd and wonderful
0:54 Ah yes thankyou for pointing that out
01:18 Voice crack
XDDD
Boat, boat, boat, boat
This is giving me Armidale-Class vibes
It's nice to see stuff that's not uber powerful ☺️
CASEMATE POWAAAAAAH!
4:08 are those nukes on the right side?
Nah. Material storage.
I think that engine is actually pretty good for what it's worth.
Thanks for the videos
Ha that's small? *Laughs in tiny 14m Torpedo boat*
*EDIT: Some Chad's below helped me out >SOLVED
You go to the plante selection and select Ashes of the Empire
Right click the designer mode button and select land designer
Ty homies
Can someone teach me how to make my advanced cannons have sustained fire, looking at the stats is seems it should but it just cant
@@invadegreece9281 why did you ask here?
Stone is pretty much worthless for EMP defense, even a single EMP warhead on a medium missile will deal nearly full damage after 2 m of stone.
Sure, once in a while a stone layer can cause the EMP to path to a different target, but you really don't want to rely on that for anything vital.
It works very well when used in a 'faraday cage' setup. EMP takes the path of least resistance, so if it hits alloy or metal it'll often ignore stone and wood completely.
@@BorderWise12 EMP doesn't hit alloy or metal, that's the issue: it flows through them without being dampened at all.
Try making a test target with a stone box around the AI and see how quickly it gets fried.
@@asrieldreemurr5029 Not what I was saying, but testing proves you right. Stone on in its own isn't enough, I guess. Especially for small builds.
Edit: I was absolutely right about the Faraday Cage effect: EMP needs to really close to a stone compartment to get through it. Stone AI compartments still work. 👍
@@asrieldreemurr5029 alloy and metal does weaken emp, i have tested huge emp missiles against a thick ship of mine and it did 0 damage, since the armour is so thick it couldnt reach anything to damage
@@BorderWise12 Stone cage can work when you have more palatable targets outside of it, for example surge protectors or heavy armor, but it's still less than reliable compared to an HA cage: all it takes is 250ish damage that wants to slip through and your mainframe gets fried.
Amusingly enough, spaced armor is a strong defense as EMP has to path around it as it can't jump through the air, so then you can place a bit of stone and a few surge protectors at key points because you know all EMP damage will have to travel through them.
@The Gaming Cat that's because EMP pathing stops after a certain amount of blocks, you can test by putting an HA block behind an increasingly thick layer of metal and you'll see the damage remain the same until it drops to 0 abruptly.
You can also look at EmpNode in the game code to see the details of how it paths.
nice
small botes are the best
@BorderWise pls check out Termos Yarosti zeppelin pls. Its quite cheap and durable too :P
Ok!
Borderwise! You should make a discord server.
If you make a canoe, go and be happy when you make it lol
everyone else: 'big giant battleship expensive materials inefficient giant thing"
honestly i think this entire review is coming from a bit of a meta bias, “This thing is confusing, my really specific standards arent being used here, why would you use radiators on an engine?! they’re not in the game so you can use them! they’re for DECORATIONS! ONLLLYYYY FOR DECOORRAATTTIOONNNSSS!!!!!!”
It's more like 'why would you use radiators in conjunction with a turbo/supercharger setup?' It is an engine meta that I wasn't aware of before.
Uhhh....I use radiators anytime my engine performance drops out of the 90% range due to heat buildup. I'm not giving up power and efficiency to heat. Granted, there is a tradeoff point that makes it no longer worth another radiator. That goes across the board, injector, turbo, or supercharger.
BOTE
Idk why im here
Who knows?
@@thegamingcat3202 Was not a question
But ok lol
