Lathrix: _gets drunk_ Lathrix: Enjiner

“We are the good guys” - lath *adds horns* “we will free this world” - lath *adds spicy flame horns* “So you’re the good guys?”

I love how the last couple intros have gone something along the lines of this: "Hello everybody! Welcome back to From the Depths with me: Lathrix" "As you can see last night I hopped on and had a couple beers and built this: " *Reveals an entire ship*

"... then I had a few beers, things got really weird and now we have a replacement cruiser !" My god never change Lath

lathrix 2020- "i want to add missles here, here * circles view around entire ship * and here

ship at 88% health "we've lost 22%" lathrix doesn't do math

Lathrix in a nutshell: I wanted to build a Patrolboate I ended up creating a Battelship.

Me: spends 10 hours and makes a ship that can barely beat a bastion. Lathrix: is drunk and spends 4 hours on a ship that can kill a Bulwark

Lathrix: I'm mediocre at building! Also Lathix: Builds a battleshi... sorry, CRUISER, that can go toe-to-toe with one of the most battleshippy battleships in the game.

0:23 Lathrix : I had a few beers, things got really weird... Vid: *ZOOMS OUT ON KHORNE LOGO* Me: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES! *Continues to laugh sadistically, psychotically and maniacally*

Lathrix: "We need to add missiles here, here, and heeerrreee" Ship: "You just gestured to all of me!"

We’ve seen your new ship designs, for many, many years now, and we’ve seen you grow in your craft building skill and expertise. So now, I propose to you, a video (or series) showcasing your earliest, your favourites, the fan favourites and the absolute best of your huge fleet of vehicles, explaining the building process, showing off a battle, some quirks, and perhaps weaknesses and strengths. Yours truly, a viewer

Lathrix: "Then I had a few beers" *Zooms out to Khorne Symbol* "things got really weird and now we have a replacement cruiser!" Me: Sooo... Let me get this straight, You got possessed by Khorne and then built an epic battleship...Cool.

On the ocean transparency: i like the clear water and seeing all the way down to the bottom, but on the other hand i cant make out where the waterline is on the ships. So maybe somewhere inbetween?

Seeing that logo does bring back the good old memories

We have 88% left so they definitly took 22% and not 12%

One thing i've learned with Lath (and love), when he says "And i've had a few beers" you know somethings going to be magnificently built, and not what his goal was set out to be. And a reason i enjoy him very much, his randomness to what he does!

26:17 if you are a mediocre builder, i would be happy to ascend into the ranks of bad builders.

Keep the transparency high for the beginning of the campaign, then steadily decrease it as you go through the factions. The more blood you spill, the more dirty the oceans get.

Lath, add individual local weapon controllers to each firing piece. That will fix your problem with clipped barrels

13:46 Yep, a mannequin kneeling to a throne of Khorne is fine...

Lathland: "Let's building something cheap and easy to produce!" **Has a few beers** Bit-Drunk Lathland: "Hold my beer."

26:19 you say your mediocre but you've designed a beautiful ship that functions well, if I tried making a ship it would turn out all blocky and probably wouldn't work well at all.

About the water: I think happy medium would be best.

Lathland: drinks beer His fans: oh shi* here we go again

Last time I was this early Lath wasn't playing FTD anymore! so glad he is now tho It's always great seeing how much you enjoy this game and seeing what you build in it is always awe-inspiring. Keep up the awesome work, mate!

Hey Lathrix you ever considered doing another Avorion run? its had a lot of updates and additions plus there's missiles now, just wondering.

"Cram spam cruiser" Now say that 10 times

this video has only been out for three minutes and there are already 30 comments

Lathix: "Oh I am a mediocre engineer and my ships will probably get their asses kicked." Lathix's ships: Kills a Bulwark while only being half the cost and size. Oh and taking only 15% damage.

Just realized something amazing play this at 50 percent speed and lath sounds drunk and half asleep. Its freaking hilarious

Lath: “you can set the poses on the mannequins” Me: “oh cool, you could have crew in the bridge” Lath: “they can worship the Khone alters” Me: “that works too”

"I had a couple of beers and things got big" Me: Saturday then

2:01 HERRRESSSSY BURN IN HOLY FIRE!

NEED MORE!

*YOU MADE IT INTO THE GAME!* There is a "Greetings Sir and Sirettes" loading quote now!

1. Ocean transparency is amazing! 2. I'm so glad you're back with from the depths! 3. The good guys always have horns, flame and use the red and black color scheme. If we didn't no one would know we were the good guys!

Ive been getting into ftd largly because of you. This game is crazy dense. I love it, but it will be a very long time before i can realize my vision. Watching you so gracefully construct beautiful machines of devastation fills my heart with joy and inspiration. Eagerness and excitement overwhelm me whenever i see you've posted a ftd video, so awestruck am i by your machinations of grand destruction.

That is a fantastically beautiful ship in the thumbnail your building skills amaze me

thanks for the vid ! truly love seeing you back in FtD ^.^ a few suggestions if I might... I usually recommend the following fuses for CRAMs: Inertia (10°) + PenDepth (5m) + Timed Fuse (+0.01s to 0.05s on the laser targeter aka set to detonate just after the expected impact time; usually by bout 5-ish meters, hence the spread on the timing there since it depends on the shell speed) Those fuses work against just about anything and do insane amounts of damage vs most targets - and even near misses still detonate close enough to do some damage thanks to the timed fuse and the insane AOE radius of HE CRAM shells. Another thing I strongly recommend is adding some missile and torpedo defenses. 2-3 small missile launchers with 2-block long missiles used as anti-torps tend to do wonders - and if every craft in your fleet has at least one or two of these then your entire fleet synergizes well vs torps as the defenses effectively 'stack' and flood the water with anti-torps. Lastly, I suggest using alloy+metal as the base material for your armor on most craft. A single block of wood can keep one block of metal floating. A single block of alloy can keep two blocks of metal floating. In addition, alloy has half the signature (both sonar and radar) of metal and thus on small to medium craft (say sub 50m for certain, but maybe up to 75-ish meters) that is a very significant benefit - especially if you rely on sonar or radar decoys for your anti-missile and anti-torpedo defenses on those smaller crafts. Beyond that size, though the lowered signature is still in the multiple kilometers and thus the extra HP and AC from having metal on the outside become more valuable than a slightly lower signature. My standard armor schemes are these: on craft sub 75m I use a single layer of alloy on the outside and a layer of metal on the inside to reinforce that. beyond that, only the ammo & AI are in an internal 1m metal or heavy armor box with an air gap between that 'citadel' and the hull/side armor (usually I use heavy armor slopes to make that airgap and the citadel armor merge into one block thickness since those small craft need all the space they can get - and yes with the updated collision models on slopes that actually counts as an airgap now) on craft larger than 75m I use a different and more complex armoring scheme. I start with metal on the outside backed by a layer of metal on both ends of the craft (metal/alloy) then as I progress towards the center I first reach the main guns, near them I add another layer of metal (metal/metal/alloy) then past the main gun turrets, I usually have the ammo storages and there I add another layer, this time alloy (metal/metal/alloy/alloy) and finally, in the center of the craft where I keep the AI I add yet another layer of metal (metal/metal/metal/alloy/alloy) or alternatively replace one alloy layer with heavy armor (metal/metal/heavy/alloy) the citadel itself uses 1m heavy armor in multiple compartments for the ammo sections and alloy/heavy armor/stone for the AI Core (which not just contains the AI Mainframes and Cards, but also the PIDs, ACBs, and Ammo Customizers the ship uses - however, the Processing Cards required are not in there and instead linked into the AI via wireless; that keeps the AI Core smaller and thus cheaper to armor) and just for reference ... my corvettes (anything sub 25m) usually aim for a speed of about 35m/s my frigates (25-50m) usually aim for a speed of about 30m/s my destroyers (50-75m) usually aim for a speed of about 25m/s my cruisers (75-110m) usually aim for a speed of about 20m/s my battleships (110-160m) usually aim for a speed of about 15m/s and lastly, my dreadnoughts (160-250m) usually aim for a speed of about 10m/s staggering the speeds like this makes it so that all ship sizes have their purpose and role in a fleet and there is an actual reason to use a mix of ship sizes ... while I know quite well that that isn't optimal and a single mega-sized craft is technically the most efficient option, I quite like to use a more realistic approach ^. looking forward to your next ftd vid!

Thank u so much for playing FTD again!

Aww yeah new lathrix vid!

Honestly Lathrix is an amazing builder and I seriously think a lot of people would love just seeing your raw unedited footage of building. Even just if you upload a 30 min video of it all unedited I’m sure a lot of people would be happy with a video like that. Only of course if you wanted too. It would help a lot of people with FtD too, so pretty please with a cherry on top lath

Congrats on 300k

Lath should make a ship that uses every single weapon system and make it the highest damaging ship in existence and not care about resources

"I was going to build something small, quick, easy to use. Then I had a few beers, things got weird and now we have this monstrosity." Did I click the old Malal's Will video by accident? ...Uploaded 6 hours ago, so I guess not XD

Ahh yes , the classic lath. To do list Build small ship. Lath: define small?

I like seeing it transparent, because will be able to watch the torpedoes better and actually see ones coming in as well.

I like the Ocean Transparency, very pretty effects, and also frames the ship perfectly, making it the point of reference and the focus of the shots.

You are freaken awesome!!!! I cant wait to see more of these!!!! Keep up the awesome work!

can I possibly understate just how happy I am to see this series return? no, no I don't think I can

You have come so far with the looks of the builds! I love this

300K! Congrats Lathrix, you deserve it and so much more!

Lathrix, you can use Mimic blocks mimicked as Mainframes instead for your "guests". That way they don't appear in your AI list.

In season 4 episode 10 you built a battleship with 4 front guns and if I’m correct lots of missiles and torpedoes also named the heretic and I’m a real fan of that video but this one is even better!

I jumped with joy when I saw the thumbnail

Lathrix is the words "Drunk Science" in a nutshell also: Hydrofoil point defense ship

7:10 is definitely pleasing to the eyes. Good Job!

This series is an addition! And I'm 100% hooked!

That battleship is amazing! I especially love the KHORNE symbols, but maybe make a ship that throws us old fans of FTD back to your first season. Maybe make a ship with a giant cannon with the union Jack on top of it? Either way, whether we go forward with nostalgia or completely new designs that will become iconic, I have a feeling that this new era of FTD with Lathrix is going to be a great one. A golden age of sorts, for the good guys!

Lovely build. This is one heck of a weapon you built there, Lath. I did notice a few hiccoughs along the way like firing restrictions not being set and the AI setup. From what I'm seeing, the Heretic will always broadside to starboard... erm I mean to the right side of the ship. If you leave it be, the ship will try to reverse to expose the right side. Which given the weapon setup and the propulsion choice will just cause issues. I would recommend adding a second behavior to broadside to the left and then have 2 ABC alternate between the two behaviors depending on the bearing of the target (not the enemy, the target). They will look something like this: "If target detected on channel 1 is in the bearing bracket [-180°; 0°], then switch to Broadside Left" "If target detected on channel 1 is in the bearing bracket [0°; +180°], then switch to Broadside Right" Sure you can't turn it off, but you don't need to. It IS the Heretic after all. Also a few more things added in the game: You can setup a bigger rudder using a spinblock. All you need is to place the spinblock at the same height as the Centre of Mass so as to not make the ship roll when turning, and press Q on it to open a menu from which you will go to its "Angle" tab and touch the "Yaw" slider (ideally -15 if the spinblock is upside down and +15 if it is right side up). Then go to the Water tab and select rudder (it should be a green button showing a plate looking block). You can then add as many as you want. Voila! A bigger rudder. All has been said really. Thank you for coming back, Lathrix. The rebirth of the Heretic is upon us! It survived the purge and now its killing us!!

Lath since you made fire horns YOU MADE A DEMON SHIP and I love it :D

Goodness yes, MOAR! I'm watching my way through your "Quest for Neter" playlist and I can't wait for the next series!

Awesome as always; Love the new building style

I’ve been addicted to Lath’s FTD content since season 2, so happy it’s back! Also maybe turn the water opacity halfway back and split the diff

Commenting at the 14 minute mark here so I don't know if you changed it before the end of the video, but 15-16 m/s converts to an average speed of about 30 knots. Most IRL warships of this size in the interwar era (1920-1939) had a top speed around 30 knots, so considering how cheap this is and the relatively short distances between objectives in the Neter campaign that's entirely sufficient for a "line of battle" warship. Also, what you've built here reminds me more of an Armored Cruiser rather than a Cruiser as far as purpose goes. This design is more of a junior battleship than a fleet scout/screening ship for capital ships, and given its firepower and impressive staying power against cram canons I personally would be comfortable using this design as the heavy core of task forces in operations against the Deepwater Guard and Onyx Watch. I do recommend fielding it with four to six escorts to screen it from submarines and aircraft though. As for the bridge, I suggest looking at the bridges of 1960s and 70s built missile cruisers, then add pillars and alcoves to stick with the cosmetic theme you have going with the rest of the superstructure. The big slab-sided faces of US and Soviet missile cruisers of that era, in particular the California and Virginia-class nuclear powered guided missile cruisers, should be fairly easy to convert into that cosmetic style. Edit: After finishing the video, I am going to extend that to the White Flayers as well if it's upgraded for dealing with fast targets. A gallery of those 20mm autocannons might do the trick.

Lathrix: I'm normal mediocre Me: I'm literally building floating boxes with no guns because I can't figure out how to fire them

Hey, congrats on 300K subs Lath! :D

Looks amazing the way it is

Hey lathrix, do you have a patreon, I was thinking about donating as your one of my favourite youtubers and produce quality content.

Lathland I believe you have 300k subscribers atm Congratulations all mighty leader of the lathrixian legion

I honestly like your building style. I don’t think you lack on style or substance. Well done.

I cant wait for the start of your upcoming playthrough!!

Oh damn I just noticed! Congrats on 300K my guy!

Man I wish I could build like you! Love your stuff, keep it up!

Back to hanging mainframes on chains. That's the Lathrix we know and love!

Just seeing the upload brightens up my day

Bought this game yesterday and thinking it's easy to learn.. Lathrix makes it look sooo easy

Wow man I haven't watched your video's for so long and you still awesome. Keep up the good work 👍

Lathrix: Gets drunk Also Lathrix: Botebilder

this ship looks like something the Fire Nation would build

I was at work when this was uploaded, just now able to watch. Lol. Cant wait to see the new Lathryxian fleet! :)

I’m so happy you came back to from the depths it was my favorite series I’ve watch all your from the depths series so I’m so happy you returned to this game My favorite series was Quest for Neter so I was super happy about the Kornflake video 2 weeks ago

omg omg omg, so many new episodes these 2 weeks!

Hey lathrix whenever you get around to building a battle ship it would be cool to see the simple 40mm aa guns used heavily around the bridge like ships from ww2

Hey, I would suggest adding a second AI and splitting them between the bow and stern guns so you don’t have all your rounds aiming for the same point and losing effectiveness.

I originally found you due to your FTD videos, it is nice to see them again. I do hope you enjoy making them.

I love how drunk lath is more of a tactical design builder and sober lath is a builder that rather make things look good

I do love those CRAM cannons in the beginning and their turret caps! LOVE HAVING FTD BACK ON THE CHANNEL!!! WOHOO! Also I'd like to see you send this to Menti and see a Battleship Brawl between you and a random person xD

Lathrix’s Dark Mechanicum side shows itself once again

yesssss loving the from the depths content

Those cram cannon barrels look super nice. Like seriously cool. And those with those turrets look like nothing I have seen before. They look like upscaled autocannon turrets with some serious style.

I really enjoy your builds.

congrats on 300 000 subs!

Congrats on 300k on the road to 1 mill

I’ve been trying to build FTD ships but I can’t how do you do this

300k congratulations 🎊 it'd a celebration, party all night 🌃 and party all day now xD

Lathrix, I think that the water should be just a *little* more opaque. Right now, it's way too clear; for a few moments I thought that the ship was just hovering in midair.

Congrats on 300k!

Design suggestion: Naval vessels usually have more than one tower: a primary tower with the bridge and a secondary tower. Between the towers are the funnels for the boilers and, if there is sufficient space, a weapon system such as a turret, torpedo battery, or missile battery. Most ships from the first and second world war have two towers with the exception of some smaller vessels that can't support more than one bridge.
