Thanks! The problem with space is momentum and lack of air resistance. WH40k space battles feel like air battles, not with Newtonian physics like in The Expanse. If these ships fly in space it'd be very hard to control range or bearing because they'll always overshoot.

Thanks! Will you be part of the mech-building community soon? =p

Thanks!

Thanks! I wonder what my builds would look like if I go full out cheaty like twin guard, guess it's problem for another time!

@@plascovich I feel your pain! I struggle with multi tasking like doing anything and speaking at the same time. Maybe I'll try recording voice over in post.

I'm still unsure about workshop upload since I've spent a lot of time on the breadboard and it gives me a tech advantage! In terms of firepower, look to the densest weapons systems: missiles, plasma, and PAC. Missiles should be fired in close range to maximize their chances to hit, and given fire control for their arcs of fire. Plasma and PAC can both use off board generators such as auxiliary craft or mother ship so it helps with shaping. Finally DIF guns are not compact but does incredible burst damage for their cost. I use custom fire control programs to improve the reliability of burst damage systems such as missiles or DIF. I also put ammo and fuel in the legs so the mechs can lose their legs and still be fully functional.

@chillbuilder101 thanks man! Yeah I fully understand not wanting to have hours of breadboarding just put online lol. Great tips tho!

@@badpeoplearebad3934 dang I'll arrange something in a future episode. Some of them can walk it's a bit janky.

@@ed.thefeli4159 thanks! It's really the most flexible sandbox game for vehicular combat. I have 4000h of experience in the game and 10 years in engineering so I do have a more expert than average approach, but I hope everyone can enjoy the game and push themselves a bit especially if they're interested in design or engineering.

@@normankolibaba9605 thanks! I'm playing Stradani Civil War custom campaign right now with the mech fleet. You can check it out!

I suggest testing your craft vs the Striders and Flayers when building. Striders tend to build with compartments that reduce the effectiveness of chemical and Flayers build bricks. You'll see a fairly good approximation of the weaknesses of your craft. Striders also make some of the most obnoxious fighters in terms of being small and hard to hit.

This is Stradani Civil War, a custom campaign in development. Right now the Spannerheim Raiders and Lost Legion are fully complete, but there are more factions on the way.

I want to get into Space Engineers just for the fantasy of being able to walk around the ship and fire different weapons! Also the devs of the campaign definitely did a good job it's all made with a lot of love!

@@ant1435 yes! I'm a bit slow on FtD right now still recovering from jet lag. I'll put it the queue!

@@yourfavoritejojo5235 some of these crafts take 20-40h to build, but I can think of some way to put together a show+tell or tutorial to share my tips and tricks

@@CuriousMochii thanks! I'll have a think about it. I want to share some design tricks but I'm pretty bad at speaking, so it might take some time.

@@chillbuilder101you could do a series where you explain small things in short stints in that case make em like 5 minutes or so explaining idk something like “the usefulness of using wedge blocks” or something and explain where and why to place certain things

Thanks for your interest! My workshop link is in the video description. I haven't uploaded these 2 craft yet but other Imperial Navy series are on there.

Thank you so much! I struggle with trying to do anything and speak at the same time but hope you find the builds interesting =p

@@yourfavoritejojo5235 this builder really has no chill 🤣

Older GT ships are definitely built by WH40k fans! Sadly a lot of them use turrets or frontside mounts and you don't get the actual broadside effect in function. It looks like the newer GT craft the builders are trying to move away from this style.

@@fakeaccount5349 thanks so much! I don't know how to use LUA but I use a lot of breadboard for all of the crafts.

Haha people complain about FtD's interface but it's leagues better than any work-related software I have to deal with, with exception of Solidworks.

@@normal6969 custom campaign is a few videos ago called Tiamat. It's with current game version and I use a lot of breadboard work as you can imagine. It's with different physics to be slightly more realistic and / or to favor ships. It's increased gravity, damage, and missile speeds. Storage density is reduced as well.

@@chillbuilder101 yes, I've also needed to fiddle with the physics settings, altough I've set resource containers large, and base detection to zero. :)

@@ivanneto5250 I was just thinking I can do a different series called 'Deep Dive' and go into some tutorial level stuff of how I build! I want to make content for experienced FtD players as there are a lot of beginner tutorials on APS / CRAM Tetris so no need to reinvent the cannon.

@@chillbuilder101 Sounds good! While there are a lot of tutorials about the technical side, there aren't a lot of tutorials of how to build nice looking machines, from people that know how to lol

@@ivanneto5250 There's a series called 'Wrench's Way II' that's very specific to WW2 style gun warships, it's a very good tutorial and you may be able to apply the principles to other types of craft. It might be weeks until I'm able to make a tutorial so I don't want to leave you hanging.

@@cantfallforit Thanks! Always down for video suggestions as I use 99% of my brain power on the builds so I'm exhausted by the time I have to record

Thanks so much! I have 4000+ hours in FtD and work with machines in my day job... But I hope to inspire people to learn more about both this game and the design process itself. Hope you enjoy and don't be afraid to ask for help =)

It's too big / not agile to be a lore-accurate AC sadly, but yes I got all 3 endings of AC6 and really enjoyed the game.

@@chillbuilder101 same bro, my profile picture is actually a screenshot from AC6 while using some mods. (why is it so damn hard to mod?!)

@@greasy019 It's almost a different game! I started in 2021 and it felt like a mechanical design game. Last year I learned all the new breadboard stuff and it felt like I'm doing robotics and integration. Wild though. A lot of the same thought processes regarding planning and troubleshooting helps me with my day job. Most of these here took 20-40h to make with about 30% of the time in testing.

@@goodstormsgames9744 thank you! The sailcraft carry 500mm DIF guns and operate on the principle of first strike, low cost, burst damage. If they have some missile defense installed they might do well vs DWG and OW

Thanks!

Thanks fellow Depthian! Let me know if you want tips or anything, always happy to talk shop =P

Mechs break my brain! Thanks for the sub =)

Thanks!
