Submarines can be sometimes game breaking, but when the difficulty increases so much with such large enemies so quickly sometimes a bit of cheese is needed! Submarines are not something I build often but these were super fun to build, even If they did end up looking like odd planes.
Really hope you enjoy this part 2 to the Drone Only/Mothership Challenge! Such a fun run so far to record! :D
Playlist for the entire series: • Drone Only Challenge
At 18:50 I jump over into the sandbox mode for a few minutes to test out the submarine - Nothing was built/changed on It in this time but I felt I needed to double check some systems I was unsure about before making multiple of them! As the rules state - I'm allowed to use the sandbox mode but I want to keep It to a minimum! I just forgot to put the message on screen about this in the video at the time!
Basic Rules:
- No Single SUPER Drone, lots of smaller drones for fun and insanity.
- Sandbox mode is allowed but heavily discouraged
- No damage from the mothership, this includes point defense style weapons e.g. missile interceptors
- No damage from the avatar
- Passive detection set to 0 (The AI gets no detection without detection blocks.) This may be set to 0.1 If the enemy AI has trouble finding us to start fights.
- No Capturing Intentionally

The playlist for all the episodes of this mini-series will now be in the video description! Also.. Two things. 14:40 ish - What I MEAN Is that at a distance It looks like Onyx Watch, but It is in fact Steel Striders. It's why I go into a little talk about It NOT having the crenellations that are traditional on Onyx Watch ships. You can see the huge Steel strider logo on the craft haha! Words are difficult..

I know that it is too late to recommend something for a style or idea for things to do with this particular run, but that will not stop me from giving you future source material for inspiration! Have you ever heard of an old(ish) game for the PS2 called "Snoopy VS The Red Baron"? I'll admit the style is pretty stereotypical and even a little odd, but there are some things that I think someone like you could turn into some very interesting vehicles in From the Depths.

@PiroteusGaming 8 ай бұрын

As for challenge runs Submarine only could be another rerun. Only fire weapons under water this includes anti missile munition. why? because we all know to travel you will need to get out and above water BUT no defending in the air, no smoke, no shields no anti munition as soon as you crash into the waves all is fair... oh and no missiles only torpedos... AA Cram, Auto, Laser or Particle.

@savagecarwash5262 8 ай бұрын

Lathrix! I noticed you were disappointed with the accuracy for the rapid HEAT, try adding tracers to the shell to buff accuracy. Also for detection make use of the inter vehicle transmitter(I think it's called?) It'll let all your drones give eachother target information even if they don't see it themselves.

It's a shame about the algorithm bullying your FtD videos... I really enjoy this series. To go back to your point that there's something special about the pre-built ships, I think a lot has to do with the fact that many of them sacrifice functionality for aesthetics. Tons of them have cockpits, bridges, hallways, walkways, etc. I'd love to see your take on a ship's bridge on one of your dreadnoughts.

Lathrix! Some interesting things with plasma cannons: -What endpoint they have affects their behaviour! The shot splitter allows for near-unlimited RPM shooting at the cost of decreased damage (it can go above 600 RPM and not have to wait unlike the others) -The 'Consolidator' allows you to change how many charges per shot you have, I recommend 10 as with a decent setup that'll get you to around 10k-20k damage per shot with a whole load of AP -The 'shotgun' attachment is REALLY good, if you set it to shoot a burst of 4-5 charge plasma shots, it can 1shot some pretty large vehicles via just obliterating vital comps!

@xenon_413 8 ай бұрын

Your crafts are beautiful. Everyone can have difficulty recognizing when their own works of art look good but I promise this. All those rails and edges, that it's become a recognizable thing, that I could say something looks 'Lathrixian' and people'd know what that means, it's glorious, aesthetics are not just one path, this one is great in different ways than what the other craft take.

From the Depths is a series I wish to see continued in the future, regardless of format. Honestly, I enjoy both the episodic format and the condensed "movie" format... I am possessed of strange tastes, however. The acknowledgement of the (accidental) use of another disabling weapon instead of bulk damage is greatly appreciated, by the way. Validates my internal snickering at those "can't help it" moments many (myself included) tend to suffer from in building games.

One thing I've always wanted to see (but never had the patience to make) is a sub that moves directly under enemy ships before firing a swarm of harpoons at it, and drags it under water. Mount some spinning melee bits on the top, make it look like one of those heavy shredders. Call it the Kraken. Or a weaker version that can't really drag enemy ships under water, but can drag itself to enemy ships, and call it the Limpet.
