The difference between patrol and fleetmove has to do with how its used. Im not sure if this is how it works anymore, but a patrol route can be set to where the same routine happens without stop, whereas fleetmove is just to move a fleet into position without moving individual ships. Also forgot to mention patrol mode will attack any enemies that enters your tiles, or at least thats how it used to work

@@scorpion563 True, when I encountered it in the campaign all my craft used missiles and advanced cannons, and it snuck around my fleets and killed two of my sattelites before I managed to engage it with something that had actual weapons. A single frag/emp missile managed to explode close enough to it to knock it into a death spiral, and the rest of the missiles managed to hit it after that, but it dodged like, 10 missile volleys before then.

@@BorderWise12 One thing to consider for a starter craft, especially a missile using one, is to just manually change some missiles, even if its slightly asymetrical as a result. Like, have one of the small missiles a type that is very dedicated to that squirrel, have others more normal, and maybe toss on a single normal sized missile too with something useful against bigger things (a high speed thumper can work pretty well). Heck, you can also make slight variations of the starter vehicle that, say for that helicopter, replaces all the weapons with just a single large "missile" that just drops water mines on targets. Refitting between multiple versions as needed for the enemy, because the only change is the weapon, which being a missile system, is fairly low block count and thus easy to refit and get back in order quickly even just by having a single repairbot or something on them.

I think the Crossbones may be the only godly craft that still has intentional weaknesses. Just about all the other faction craft have torps and anti air, though some is not as effective as it could be. Having a high speed craft is really not a counter any more once you get past the OW. I really wish they wouldn't have nerfed shields as hard as they did. They really had a solid counter for them with the disrupter shells and it was easy to incorporate a few rounds to an aps to beat them. Shields were one of the most effective ways of making good (survivable) aircraft without having to make them huge. They would be really handy now, with the ridiculous meta of rail powered kinetic rounds and the sand blaster guns. I like to use the starting fortress for a bit, since it's a creation by Irelan. Good vid!

You said the Flagship was mostly a preference thing at 7:47. It does have one use though. There is a breadboard component that give range and bearing to the flagship, so for example I have a parasite craft that just has a bunch of repair tentacles, which uses that component to maintain a station near the flagship, because that's as close to formation controls as FtD has right now, unfortunately. I'm planning to have a few different variants that keep different bearings from the flagship so as to make an actual formation of useful craft.

The absolute cheapest you can go in terms of scout craft is a satelite on a few balloons. 3 things about it: 1. They will climb indefinetly albeit very slowly 2. You cant move it in play but 3.Out of play speeds get funky the longer you have one of these active. Somehow having no actual propulsion and a combination of pulling it in and out of play makes the out of play speed go up to ridiculous levels. (naturally with a higher speed you can save it again and have multiple ridiculously fast spy craft) And with ridiculous I mean ridiculous. In a campaign with a friend our original observation balloon got an OOP speed of over 5000 m/s (not a typo 5km/s) despite it not having any propulsion. I don't know what exactly causes it, but I guess it's some funky behaviour while pulling it in and out of play or when loading the campaign itself. Might be worth making a cheese video about if you can get to the bottom of how the speed increases

Thankfully most of everything seems to work that I built in late 2019 with very little tweaking if any required. I guess that super dreadnought I was putting off last year will be a bit... easier to build? Not sure I understand the changes made by removing fuel and ammo if they're still right there in the build menu and they're still listed in the HUD - is everything just materials now?
