Alternate title for the starting vehicle checklist part "Borderwise tries to prove he knows how to kill squirrels"

I like how the Squirrel made you eat your words twice in a row.

I currently have almost 1000 hours in FTD, yet I watched the whole video. I wish this was already around back when I started playing. I have put many tears have gone into trying to learn this game. Thank you for taking the time to make new players actually capable of approaching FTD

Fun fact! If you press C while in the main map view, it breaks the map view and gives insight on how it works. Doing this allows you to move your camera away from the map view, which shows you that it’s a little texture at the top of space.

“As fun as the designer is the lure of conquering the world draws you in.” Is he a mind reader?

If lathrix's tophat had a voice, it would definitely be your voice. It has a calm official vibe to it, like a gentleman version of the sorting hat, or a wealthy, evil, mastermind in a public setting.

Trying to hit the Flying Squirrel with anything but lasers is mostly down to luck, missiles are the worst choice because of its ridiculous movement pattern: of course, said movement is only possible because in FtD you don't have to worry about structural stress and stuff like that.

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!

I feel really good about my 7k material 7k altitude 170 m/s spacecraft now. I thought it was too expensive but your craft has been working so mine should as well thanks.

One thing I’m proud of with my little boats is that they can kill the flying squirrel thanks to being AA missile pods that can swim.

I think it's worth noting that a ship/plane that can *kill* the squirrel is potentially less important than one that can *survive* the squirrel, and kill it eventually. My AA planes domt take any damage from squirrels, even though they take half an hour to kill 3 of em. I call that a win.

this is...... PERFECT i am struggling creating a good start for my campaign for a long time. i just dont like the normal starter base and boat but im not good at building

Unrelated to anything. The music playing during the first part of the video around @5 reminds me of Two Point Hospital. Anyway. Keep up the good work BorderWise. Your videos are helping me get back into the game. I haven't really played seriously in years and spun up the campaign yesterday, the first time in.. 2? years.

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.

So, I started to work on the submarine faction and they may or may not have a sub that creates nuclear torpedoes. Also, I don't know how to do the fleet symbol thing, or music stuff, so those are on the to do list.

Me who chose a submarine as my current generation's starter craft: '_'

Oh, a nice vid for my way home. Thanks.

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

ive only barly started playing but having made some small cheap ships to spam in on the start (idrk if its a good tactic but worked for capturing stuff right off the bat) from what ive seen and played with fleet mode moves ships set to a fleet and keeps em in the same positions relative to each other to when the fleet was formed

You sound so enthusiastic compared to when you are streaming xD

Eh, i'm not sure the armed response unit is necessary. I usually just build my mining vessels super cheap and disposable. If they die I can just replace them without much loss. It's much easier than actually defending bases scattered across the map.

Almost 400 hours into the game. It is time to leave the vehicle designer, I am ready. I was not ready

hooray! now i wont just be stuck in the designer, spawning creation after creation and watching them fight eachother.

I've just bought this game and this video has really helped me grasp what I need to do. I'll check your other tutorials later on after I try (and probably fail) to create all my own vehicles. I foresee myself spending tons of hours in this game. Thank you once again! Subbed :).

You shure slapping a few rtgs and ion thrusters with a electric engine could get you quite a surprisingly good satellite for only 3k resource

Ok, on the topic of the spycraft satelite... I saw the cheap design in a video and clueless me built that thing with a rotor, a single pid , a mainframe and the satelite dish... no rudder, no nothing... it still works somehow, so if you want to, you can strip yours off the unnecessary bits and use the cheapest design possible. And yes. it does not need engine power because dediblades...

This is great lunch break naptime ASMR.

He built a wooden Novgorod but instead of a turret it has a rotating spy dish

for top speed movement to be disabled you have to record cruise speed in the v-menu, it can be used for saving fuel while moving out of play

Oil drilling would be nice to come back.

Thank you dude! 👍

34:10 it got fixed, it now has torpedoes (good torpedoes i may add) and sonars

TYSM

To hit fly squirrels with missiles, use APN

54:20 e.g. there is a "30000 commodities" sign on the map-screen (left corner) - could you use them?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how I stop playing for half of 2020 and I jump on the other week and they've somehow managed to *dumb resources down* to just materials and battery power. 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? I kinda liked having ship magazines that needed protecting. =/

Top speed thingy only matters with certain circumstances

hey dude so there is this big round ship on Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts and you have made one in this video and i have been trying so i am just wondering if you could upload that ship with just the hull so nothing else on it so i can make progress please? And post the link? I don't have your steam workshop

Developers are almost never "good" at their own games. I'm not sure where this misconception comes from.

How do you make the tactical screen look like that? From me pressing E just opens the map

How do you get the tactical map view to be like that at 0:58

hi man I am new to this Chanel and love your content. you have my sub. but do you read coments?

Did the Deli blade things get removed? is it no longer possible to make power free copters?

For me there is lack od "personal carier" for avatar to capture bases or ai dead ships

Are all of the pre made ships you're loading your creation? Are they on the workshop?

kinda wired how you have a guide for Campaign, but no guide for adventure mode, there is not even a guide at all if you search in KZfaq "From The Depths Adventure mode Guide" only gameplays pop up no actual guides, so maybe a good idea for a new video?

Is retrofitting applied instantly? If so, couldn't this be used instead of repairs?

not sure if anyone will respond to this but how do people level up so quickly? i understand that destroying like 4 blocks on the hardest mode will level you up 25 times but how do people actually win with all difficulty settings maxed? doing 25 times less damage and taking 25 times more damage and facing strong vehicles that start up fast is something beyond me and idk if they just use insanely well built craft or if they use some space cannon cheese or something similar, is anyone capable of helping me in how to level and create a ship possible of starting with the hardest settings on?

novgorod.. space edition

I liked the old nether-Tutorial more 🤔

Can I change difficulty mid campaign? I just started playing yesterday but I made powerful ships and campaign is too easy now but I don't want to start a new campaign

Why does my spy satellite have a different (lower) out of play altitude?

can you relise the circle harvester to the steam workshop?

Is this tutorial up to date?
