Soooo four things!!!!
1) I forgot to add the outro as I recorded that the next day and forgot to add It to the correct folder. Likes, comments and all that help!! Nothing was missed other than me saying goodbye!!
2) I made a minor dumb dumb and made the guns 200mm when they could have been 250mm with the shells I'm using. Just means more explosions next time!
3) I do have a twitter in the description of each video, If you would like to see video updates, pet pictures, random ramblings mostly at 3am my time as insomnia kicks me!
4) Blood angels, not blood ravens!!
Hay lathrix, personally I would love to see a space plane mothership that launches a disposable dragon fly craft. Maybe not for adventure mode but the next time you do a campaign. Could do the whole playthrough with insect designs and have fun creating a lore for the playthrough
Color scheme, black and bright lime green
Spaceplanes?
Why not space battleships? 🙃
You could go with a more Dragon aesthetic and color it similar to a Nightwing
Is it just me or is it giving me stealth bomber kinda vibe, I would love a nuclear space bomber, that would be so cool.
Are pure HE shells the most efficient? YES! They are the most efficient at making you happy.
no they arent, since Flakk exists, which explodes in 27 times the volume, for 90% of the damage
He also has a weird thing with ap so the explosion does full damage to armor.
@@F14thunderhawk don’t tell him
Lathrix, you can slow down time while you're looking for the chair to teleport back to your vehicle. Gives you 10x longer to search for it. Or to build, you get several hours to build after passing a portal if you get 10x as long before enemies spawn.
He got so lucky I wouldn’t have been able to do that
Thing is... People don't tend to think under pressure, I doubt I'd ever thing of that in that situation, even if I knew about it
@@brutas_warman If he makes it a habit he doesn't need to think. If he can try to do it a couple times by actively reminding himself soon enough it'll be second nature.
@@GaiaGoddessOfTheEarth unless you have macro's on the mouse... Its very hard to do without wasting too much time, as the time buttons are +/- next to the backspace... So you have to move your hand away from "wasd" to slow time down... And sure there are keybinds, however the game is very intricate and you may struggle to get a bind that not only doesn't conflict anything, but also provides more convenients to use
@@brutas_warman you earn a lot more time than what you waste doing it though.
Just a thought- you said that the tail looks like a separate creature.
Perhaps you could make the tail detach via docking port and make it into a capturing vessel?
I forward this idea
I second this idea
That would be pretty cool! Up
I third this ide
I forth this
I am 110% on board with doubling down on the bone style.
Also since the tail looks like another creature entirely why not make it one? If you can pull it off design wise, why not have it mutate off till you look like two unrelated beings grafted together by a truly mad scientist?!
Chimera! chimera!
I like this idea
Mycologists.
@@juanlloveras5780 mycologists only fused two of the same, we are taking the foundations of their research and pushing bio fusion science beyond what they could ever comprehend.
@@randombrit13 The Mycologist boss fight would like to disagree. Let me reiterate.

I love the idea of the dragonfly eventually turning into an imperial cruiser and just flying around and forcefully spreading the word of the emperor across the seas!!
space battleship yamato
@@Resetium I hate the fact I read that as Battleship Lmao
Don't you mean spreading the word of khorne?
Ooh, a drop pod could be fun! Just a chair, heartstone, and maybe a harpoon or targeting thrusters. It drops onto a foe, and latches on like a parasite while you climb out and capture it.
Sounds kind of like a virus landing on a cell, depositing it’s rna(you) to co-opt the victim into material for more of itself
I think using hover thrusters to maintain the look of it in space is a reasonable thing to do
Id personaly do like a T.H.O.R from COD infinite warfars
Maybe make it something like VTOL like video, in later update adding thruster pods that can act as hover thrusters, but also act as normal thrusters
There's no shame in having hover thrusters regardless if you literally cannot orbit like the original plan. They obviously don't want players to just hang out in space forever and that's fine, and I like the idea of a VTOL system so they can be both hover and forwards thrust. Find the correct angle and engine speed and you won't need to pitch up to maintain altitude while moving either.
Space actually works the same both in sandbox and adventure mode. When you go over 1km, you don’t have anymore gravity, but for balance purposes gravity comes back after 2km and increase the higher you go to stop you from building stupidly high orbiting space stations of doom like the ones you were able to build a long time ago.
It’s actually between 1300 and 1800m that there is no gravity
There is also a map border at 7800m, it works the same way as the map border in the normal game modes, tries to push you way, but with enough force and stabilization, you can go higher, its just a lot easier to get to 7800m than it is to go any higher, especially with smaller designs.
Love the work and love the designs. This run makes me think maybe one day a old chaos god design might come flying down from space to invade haha.
The smell of orbital bombardment in the morning.
You should make the tail a drop pod that you use to board and capture enemies. You could put a seat and heartstone in it so you can stay alive on the enemy
23:30 hover thrusters should be used so you don't make yourself a bigger target for enemies. better to point the nose at them and provide less area to hit.
Lathrix, if you keep the skeleton plane look "The Bone Sparrow" might be a cool name.
The dragonfly should eventually ‘evolve’ into a floating space turtle of death™️. Keep up the great content.
put a globe on its back.
You mentioning it was bone colored made me realize that the wings look like segments of a spine with those red pipes in between being the tendons that connect them together. Like the look a lot, keep it.
Ship starting to look like a hornet! Maybe try a yellow and black palette and curve the "tail" down like a stinger- and make it REALLY sting :p
Also- Have you considered trying out some space engineers?
oh god yes Lathrix with the power of Clang let the fun times commence
You've given me a crippling FtD addiction. Been very enjoyable thus far
I want to say you forgot the most important part of the front of any space battleship: the spinal mount. Has stellaris taught you nothing? Spinal mounts are the best things ever.
I'd say it's more like a Corvette currently. Maybe a Destroyer.
We're far removed from proper Battleship status.
@@DragonKnightJin I can edit files I could absolutely put a spinal Mount on a Corvette.
YEESS FTD IS BACK
you are literally my favorite channel I've been watching every video for 7 years and I've absolutely loved every single one. keep doing what you do lath
Evolving from a Dragonfly into a Manta Ray, interesting
with the belly id love micro missiles or maybe harpoons, basically drag enemies into the air as you open fire
Love watching lath's one singular braincell bounce between different subjects like a DVD screensaver
I love your profile photo, its so adorable!
@@BryantVonMiller thanks, it's my own character
@@EmberBlaze99 Its extremely cute, thank you for letting me view it ^_^
You should call your new legion The Insectoids or The Space Bugs because of the insectoid theme. I also like how the upgraded craft has mandibles on the front, while the bone-like armor is comparable to a bug's exoskeleton, giving it the appearance of an alien bug.
lathrix is the kind of guy i'd love to go on an adventure with
he has beer, he is funny, he is brave, he makes his ships powerful, he destroys all in his path. honestly... he is the good guy
By far one of your best looking builds yet! The whole thing has a very Cthulhu esque theme with the chunky bone wings, but more amazing is the tail area I keep seeing a eye on the back that creeps me out. The tail wings look like amazing feathers giving a real feeling of a living object. More please XD
I feel like a fun idea to add to the ship is stuff to grab and pull the enemy ship up like a tractor beam kind of idea.
FROM THE DEPTHS IS A SERIES I WISH TO SEE CONTINUED IN THE FUTURE.
love your work lath :)
Lath you are going to love this!
You need to attach a drop pod to this. It doesn't have to be the last boarding action.
You could make a small drop pod with a chair, a heartstone, some flares, some directional thrusters with the tip made of rams and maybe a single shot high explosive cram to blast a hole.
Just imagine falling down from orbit towards an enemy, blowing the armor away, burrowing into the hull with the rams and blasting blocks to find the AI. It would be awesome!
Btw, a wk40k cruiser or battle barge with huge cram cannons would have been fitting for an orbital craft.
I think having some ventral thrusters for maintaining altitude in level flight in space is a good idea.
From The Depths is amazing as always, and its really cool to see you finally build a proper space craft and actually use it!
28:10 "good guys which are misunderstood"
Yes, i too dislike it when they don't understand that my mass murder for the blood god is in fact an act of kindness.
Great video lol.
Very cool, seeing you build is nice once in a while, thanks so much for this. Looking forward to more of this!
Lathrix: *uploads*
Me: GASP
I’ve missed these from the depths vids
So I quite like the idea of the boney bits. Of you added like muscles and sinewy strand that tapered off you would have a space born predatory critter.
As for color scheme adding in pure white as a secondary color and reddish brown highlights sounds like you could be some sort of undead extra boney tyranids
I love the raw bone and copper look. It's looks like a skeleton that has been brought back to life by the power of robotics. Basically just a steampunk robot using a skeleton as it's she'll.
Phenomenal content as always!
maybe add ion thrusters pushing you forward below the center of mass, this way they would push you up and you wouldn't have to tilt back so far in space, and it wouldn't feel like hover controls
when the plane was just in its flat state during the design/build phase, it kinda looked like a manta ray for a while.
so i have a few name suggestions for the space plane:
- 'Manta Fly' / 'Dragon Ray' --> keeping the old dragon fly plus the newer manta ray, and mix it. not very original, i know but you have to admit that dragon ray does sound pretty cool.
- 'Bone Vulture' --> it eats the corpses of its enemies, brings death from above... and has a bone theme!
also, i suggest adding some lights, your plane looks a bit plain in that regard. not that i can fault the design itself, it looks way better than anything what i have designed in FTD. i'm still at the 'brick-with-wings' phase of designing.
man ive been watching you for a good few years now, keep keepin on, your content hasnt wavered at all
Space cruiser just the front piece looks great you defiantly have gotten way better at design it really shows.
Lean into the necromantic look, I say. Good stuff!
I like the idea of calling it the manta ray. It looks like one.
Also, great video. It's always nice to see an upload from you.
That's what I was thinking
Heya mate, I can't believe I just found your channel, your Robocraft series was my childhood, glad to see you're still doing well
I feel you on the more fun being the villian thing
The only Loyalist army i ever made was 2000Points of Salamanders. Then i went into Death Guard, Daemons of Slaanesh, and oh so many Orks
I see Lathrix has noticed me and my tyranid tweet, glad to have you with the great devourer and hive mind
The blue scheme and the rough shape made me think of screamers of Tzeentzch. But a hungry hungry spacefighter is fine too.
Great video always nice to see you uploading some ftd
I love railguns.
There's something so satisfying about firing a solid piece of metal into low orbit
16:41that looked super good lath, a style of space cruiser like that would be awesome
That “space battleship front” looked both awesome and like there was some sort of axe blade there lol
Holy shot that space battleship prow looked amazing, the fact that it had such a flowing shape was amazing and I really want to see you turn that into a full build.
What if you made a space battleship that can also land and sail around like a regular battleship, kinda like Space Battleship Yamato? You could even give it a laser at the bow so it can have it's own wave motion cannon.
@@hedgehog3180 *YES*
Weird suggestion.
Remember when you built that aircraft carrier that each time the fight ends, the planes go back and reconnect themselves with the mothership?
What if, your plane could detach its tail, dangle itself using cable and act like distraction sticks. As it has the size, you could add anti aircraft on it, so it'll be like a WW1 spotting/artillery balloon, firing machineguns at the pesky planes that is circling it.
seen some people suggest to make your tail detach and turn into a capturing craft
I think it'd be really cool to have the tail detach and then orbiting the main craft being like a healing craft
The way you were talking about the weapon you wanted to add sounds like an AC130 but to mix it up you could take inspiration for WW2 bombers and have the tail of the plain be a bit bulky'er and mount and AA gun on the tail.
The plain could have in the end could have a larger main cannon in the middle be HE for heavy/bulky armored targets and then the 250mm and mini guns for smaller targets/presicion aiming armed with AP rounds.
Hey lathrix I remember watching you and from the depths since season 2 of the campaign when advanced cannons weren't even a thing and custom cannons ruled the waves
Space ships typically have hover thrusters like Star Wars and Star Trek, so if you want to use them that’s fine. Also since it looks like bones, you could make it white like a skeleton. Plus I love the rail gun multi shot feature, it’s so cool. 😀🚀
This is epic, i have been waiting for you to do a space anything (apart from a certain satiation that was pretty cool)
from the moment this series started, the thought of having ball turrets on the wings (top rotating seperate from the bottom of the turret with dual guns on each)never escaped my mind. id love to see some variation that in the near future
also for the Space battleship, some space battleship yamato type deal would be awesome imo.
So my Idea for the Design of the Dragonfly Craft would be, to have two wings angled ca. 30° degrees apart. It would allow the top wing to take over the role as propulsion and "wing", and the bottom one can be used as armor. In my mind the 2 Railguns can be fited under the belly with a slight offset towards the wings but still fixed.
I love this Series.
It looks like a giant manta ray. That could be really cool as a super advanced space manta ray!
Seeing the cargo containers hanging from the bug plane made me realize just how big it really is, its like three or fours time the size of most of my boats and planes
Something to aim for in the future, a full body length particle cannon? It already looks a little like a Cardassian Galor class cruiser.
I think a light blue/gold color scheme would look really good, thanks for the content
Turn those Ion thruster packs into VTOL-style ones, like how the F-35 does it but only for that thruster. Hell maybe even add some closest to the body whose only purpose is to be that similar to how the Harrier Jump Jets did it.
I never get tired of watching you play FtD my good sir.
I like the paintjob because it looks like Skin, especially with the pattern on the metal making it look like it's covered in patches of it.
Teasing us with a space battleship. It's gonna be that huge blimp that we never got to see all over again.
Huh! Raddeling bones! Those burst fire railguns. With those you can name her the bone raddeler
counterpoint: abducting things is the classic mode of attack for a space ship, therefore creating a bunch of harpoon missiles and a giant short-range EMP blaster to kill the AI when it's reeled in is the ideal method of attack for a spaceship
Somehow this vehicle makes me think of the phrase "Lathrixian BoneRay" and that just sounds like something i wouldnt want to be in the sights of...
for a color scheme, you could do an UFO/alien theme with navy blue, dark purple, neon greens and yellows, etc. You could also add an ion motor on the belly to replace the wing lift when in space, just to make the transition easier. You might also find it interesting to use cram cannons as bombs. it will be hard to use and limited in its target options but that could be a good challenge for you. Possibly a good option for later levels once you get bigger, slower targets. You could also make a super fast, light hitting railgun for all the light targets you will face like the flying squirrel
Name it the Death Archer because it looks like a skeleton and uses long range weapons. Also is there a way to make it a VTOL since you don’t need wings in space?
I guess by VTOL you mean thrusters mounted on spinblocks and yes there is a way to do this: set the thrust controll to react to both forwards and upwards thrust and the angle controll on the spinblock to rotate downwards when an upward controll order is given.
If you want to be real fancy you can even set up a breadboard to do this, which i did for a gunship that controlls up, forward and yaw purely with two rotating jet pods, but i don't think using a breadboard has any advantages over the conventional setup that justify the effort.
@@ratardle do you think it would be a good idea? I think it would give him more stability to shoot. And he could hang a decoy to protect himself
@@that-1-guywith-a-name411 i think it would be pretty cool.
He could keep the plane asthetic and maybe only use the engine pods for upwards thrust in space.
The pods can be a weakspot tho, but on a spacecraft maybe it won't be a problem + it looks cool asf.
The dragonfly currently just screams spore cell stage but METAL to me ^^
Both the front (with very interesting bone-y spikes at the sides and a large red "eye") as well as the tail (which looks just so incredibly similar to a cell which has gained the flagella for faster movement)
Awww you only have one set of wings. I liked the dragonfly style. No matter, loving the series.
White, black and grey is usually the nicest space colour for crafts in my opinion
Real life:
1) Decide what sort of vehicle you want to design (battleship, destroyer, sub, plane, chopper, spaceship).
2) Build the basic hull form.
3) Add weapons and engines.
4) Make adjustments to the ship to optimize buoyancy and stability.

I really like the paint scheme. if you look at the body it reminds slightly of a fish. Since you are in space you could have downward facing particle cannons almost like particle cannon bombs.
Altitude decreases until 1300m and starts increasing after 1800m.
For speed, drag reduction is often better than more thrust so to do this, you need to stay flat. So you can stay at 1800m or use hover thrusters for higher altitudes. You can put ducts to reduce drag in front of your reverse thrusters.
Also have you considered lasers and PACs? They don't do the whole missing the target thing.
A good strategy might be to use piercing rails / lasers and EMP to disable the target, then drop cram bombs which gain incredible speed from space especially with the massive gravity at 5000m to 7810m. Fusing box can change it to thump crams for more effect.
It might be a ton of work but i'd definitely watch the hell out of another 2nd channel of yours that had all the cutaway building fiddly bits. I'm interested in learning the game and that stuff would be very useful!
The paint scheme reminds me of the Krokorok pokemon.
A giant space lizard. With guns.
Feels very fitting.
For a color suggestion I would recommend working with a white pallet, to help prevent all that solar radiation from over heating your craft of coarse.
Lathrix, the craft (in my opinion) while in active flight looks almost like a Ghost Ray from Subnautica. You could base the design loosely on one of them. And for the "separate creature" at the end of the tail you could make some small "leech" that could detach and perhaps be capable of firing a single medium or small missile.
12:13 space wahle fish. all hail the magnificent chuncer of space whale fish ^^
16:02 i kinda like it XD ofcourse now it has tatas
Lathrixian FTD to brighten up the day whilst I’m home sick!
I think an interesting idea you could do for the adventure mode is that you can only have one weapon to attack and every other weapon is strictly defence. Tho I don't know if you think it's funny idea or not just thought it would be interesting.
Love the videos.
The bone look is amazing. I'd love to see some ultra-sonic weapons to use from space, either a missile that can go mach-10 or super fast rail cannons
lath your FTD vids are phenomenal
Definitely a fan of the look of it. Need to play around with the color sliders to find that bone color for inspiration.
I love your content. Please do more of these videos.
Looking at the craft’s current look, I think a dragonfly/sailfish hybrid may be interesting
Depending on its size, the sail may give the craft quite an intimidating look from afar. Especially with the warm bone color standing out from the cold depths of space.
For the hovering in space issue maybe you can get inspiration from the star wars slave one where you maybe have a giant thruster on top of your ship. When in space you rotate 90 degrees vertical and your normal thrusters now just control altitude and the top thruster pushes you along. I only say put it on top so that it would be useless in plane mode.
You know what would be frickin awesome? Building a Blackstone fortress In space!
If you put some engines on spin blocks you could press a button and angle them down when in space to give you more lift. Then, when more speed is necessary you can angle them back to normal and use the wings again. Kind of like a harrier jump jet.
The way you built this plane really heavily reminds me of Split ships from X4 Foundations. I think you'd like that game.
10:18 Looks like a space Stingray
Idea: A space whale that shoots swarms of missiles out of its blowhole, and a stingray with a raygun as it's stinger/tail
It looks kinda like a manta ray, which is pretty cool.
The idea of a space battleship reminds me a lot of the Hiigaran destroyer from Homeworld 2 Remastered. By the way, Homeworld is a really cool RTS game, and I strongly recommend at least taking a look at it. The only problem I have with it is the way difficulty scaling works in the Homeworld 2 Remastered campaign. If you do really well in the first two levels, the third level becomes almost impossible. I still haven't gotten past level three, so I just play the player vs CPU mode and mess around instead.
Bone scorpion, ancient space vulture, dragon, there's a lot of fun options
Monolithic dragonfly plane-battleship...
lathland: spends loads of time umming and ahing over paint schemes
me who doesnt paint my craft at all: haha yes, metal and wood goes brrrrrrrr
