From The Depths v1 Create Your Own Millitary Fleet - Games

[QUOTE=Cpt.Funkymonk;50932456]Has anyone played around with submarines? I finally got around to making a small prototype with a turret based torpedo launcher. It's almost overpowered. I got the AI to work well, I have like 3 mini subs around an enemy ship and just watch as it gets pelted by torpedoes. Unless the enemy ship has it's own torpedoes it can't do anything against my subs usually. Also how have people been feeling about the new detection update?[/QUOTE] I've been playing around with submarines! I used this prototype below to learn and experiment with making subs work in FtD, however it's very tricky to use compared to my next sub. It's fun to play with, and looks kind of like a manatee or porpoise: [t]http://imgur.com/mb8ym3C.jpg[/t] Moving on, this is my first complete project in this game. I've used the knowledge and experience from that sub to build a larger and more lethal sub, known as Project-001 or the [i]Pocatello[/i] class guided missile submarine: [t]http://imgur.com/mpNXo79.jpg[/t] I painted the waterline for you guys: [t]http://imgur.com/juAuo2C.jpg[/t] Here's some stuff about it: [t]http://imgur.com/itPXTvg.jpg[/t] Pocatello uses two general PID controllers, one for airpump depth control and another for hydroplane pitch stability. The sub basically tries to stay level and maintain whatever altitude you set it at (key inputs for fine depth control). This is the first time I've used PIDs and I learned how to tune them on youtube, and I must say the result is an extremely smooth controlling sub that does exactly what you want it to with a little tinkering. [i]Pocatello[/i] is a very stable and stealthy weapons platform that can effortlessly send surface ships heading for the bottom and hold its own against aircraft. It costs about 55k resources I think

Anyone have these lines appear whenever the ship is in AI mode? It's like pathing lines, but they're super annoying. How do you disable them?

How is this game? Worth the $20? Does it have an active community? [editline]7th November 2016[/editline] Wow the aesthetics have changed a lot since this thread was made

[QUOTE=Kylel999;51322800]How is this game? Worth the $20? Does it have an active community? [editline]7th November 2016[/editline] Wow the aesthetics have changed a lot since this thread was made[/QUOTE] If you like building stuff and vehicular combat it's absolutely worth the $20. It's got reasonably deep gameplay as well, lot of little details to pay attention to when building your vehicle, and while it can seem overwhelming it's all actually pretty simple, lots of room for experimentation.

im approaching 700 hours so for $20 its absolutely worth it game gets constant almost weekly updates. Content wise its doubled since i started playing about a year ago. Here's my current fleet minus the jet and two subs that you cant see. [img]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e244/teshok/20161105123048_1_zpslrdri6js.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=teshok;51330589] Content wise its doubled since i started playing about a year ago. [/QUOTE] What's changed? I was under the impression development was actually quite slow.

Not really, also it's like one guy, plus one or two others who just do art assets now and then and organize community blueprint contributions. It did seem to slow down when he was adding mod support and doing some optimization, but then he put out the detection update that requires everything to have radar, sonar or camera equipment to get a decent firing solution. Steam engines and I think fire are up next.

Mabey if your in the stable branch but the experimental branch gets updates quite often. currently the devs are working on multithreading. Last month we got steam engines, fuel engines have been reworked you actually need to add exhausts leading out of the ship or suffer overheating penalties. There are multiple campaigns including a rts, a land campaign with tanks and an adventure mode where you can only have one ship and if you or the ship die its game over.

Steam engines? Why? [editline]10th November 2016[/editline] How do I lead exhausts to the exterior of the ship? In the tutorial I kept getting warnings that cooling was reduced because the exhaust didn't lead outside. Pipes leading straight up?

[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;51347757]Likely for bridging the technological gap between old-school sailboats and modern diesel engine powered battleships?[/QUOTE] I'm new but I have yet to see a sailboat.. Is there any practical reason for using one?

[QUOTE=Kylel999;51347830]I'm new but I have yet to see a sailboat.. Is there any practical reason for using one?[/QUOTE] I guess the fact that they don't use fuel is a plus? I honestly don't know, I haven't ever even used sails, I went straight to making submarines that shoot torpedoes and gunboats that look like fishing boats that got cannons strapped unto them.

Okay so I started building a ship. I managed to get an engine and propellers and hydrofoils with automated controllers, but the front of my ship always starts bouncing when I move forward

Line up the center of mass with the propellers and rudder to make sure you ship bounces around less when it moves.

Is some bouncing inevitable? My center of mess is lined up with the rudder / propellers

I'm tempted to get back into this but I don't think I can handle being up at 3 in morning making boats when I have woek in the morning [QUOTE=Kylel999;51356448]Is some bouncing inevitable? My center of mess is lined up with the rudder / propellers[/QUOTE] I think the density of the water makes it inevitable with anything other than big ships, you can reduce it by putting props further forward and experimental with their position along the hull and the amount of thrust

One thing I consistently had trouble with (and what always turned me away from the game) was the fact that no matter where I placed my fucking props on a ship, they'd always inevitably shoot out of the water. If I placed them just at the waterline, the rocking of the boat would mean I'd jump around in speed from 2m/s to 14m/s over and over. If I placed them lower, I'd have constant speed of 14m/s but it'd harpoon itself out of the water and backflip. I tried everything from putting really heavy lead on the bottom as a keel, to making really wide, flat boats. Nothing worked.

Maybe I'll have to fine tune my hydrofoils. Atm if the ship's pitch exceeds 10/-10 degrees, the hydrofoils will go to 10/-10 degrees respectively. Pitch is front to back rotation, right?

Now, ships can actually hurt each other. -Strength of the cannons are properly reflected by their gauges. No more will a 100mm cannon beat a 200mm cannon. -Ammo stashes that were spread around the ships sabotaging the ships have been removed. Now the ships dont kill themselves, your cannons do. -Ships will no long run from each other. All ships have the same engagement range and will turn to broadside instead of one always running away to maintain a further distance. -Weapon controllers set so big guns shoot further -Torpedoes made awesome. Now having a torpedo ship is worthwhile -AA made better. Planes are no longer safe. Its not great, but better. -Ally descriptions "one liners" changed to reflect the exact weapons the ships have so the player can make a more educated choice about what they build -Planes updated a bit, Axis planes now blow up when they fly into space. Ashes of the Empire -Tanks updated some to improve sensor detection. Some designs have been update to survive better or be offensively stronger. -New DWG Tank "Taipan" Designed to be a Tank destroyer. -The DWG copperhead has been reworked so it never gets stuck under ground. It now has missiles instead of APSs. It is no longer a sub-spawn on all DWG designs (on a few) and it can now freely spawn independently. - New SE Tank added "Scarab" -DWG design "Sand Viper" has been replaced -New WF Tank "Slayer" -All Faction designs have been limited to only spawn 2-3 copies per fleet. This should encourage more diversity and higher chances of Elite tanks spawning in large fleets. -DWG will now ALWAYS declare war on the player at the 1 hour mark. Other Factions still have a random chance to also declare war. -Elite tanks spawn chance has been increased -All tanks have had their FPs reduced, including Elites. Expect to see more tanks per fight now. -Player starting base has been updated to have its old tents, campfires and random junk laying around. -Fixed various other annoying issues and stuff ive forgotten about. Neter: -Typical design updates and OW beaming. -Easy OW designs have been Nerfed -GT Tribe of the Iron Storm overhauled thanks to the GT crew -DWG Generic Fleets severely changed and im not sure how they will behave. Now fleets will be grouped by "Pirate Lords" following that lords style -4 new DWG Airships added to the game for the new pirate lord "Sven Kno" - DWG "Pendragon" deleted from game -4 hour Grace period is dead I have removed the entire concept. There are no more super noob designs. They have been rolled into Easy difficulty or removed. There is no more pre-made attack fleets. Now, DWG will declare war on you after 2 hours. If you dont want to wait, declare war on them right away. Intent of this change is too allow those who want to play their difficulty to do so right away and those who want to build in peace to be able to do so. -Now when you defeat a faction there will be a chance of all other factions having a change of relationship status with you. For example, killing WF has a 70% of making LH immediately hate you and SS 30% chance of gain +10 in relations. This is untested and i have only a vague idea of what will happen. Also, when a Faction is defeated a pop up message will appear about their deaths (7 out of 8 factions so far) -DWG garrisons around the player have been increased in strength slightly Glao -HQs moved off land so they will produce water units in addition to their air units -Hauler Design replaced -Broken SD event fixed and changed

Why do my save games keep getting corrupted?

Working on a new ship. Built the guns first out of boredom then decided i should probably build a ship to house them.
