  • Building small designs has never been my strong point. Combine this with the fact I am also a slow and indecisive builder then you can see why building a whole fleet of small 'drone' craft is going to be a true challenge! This video took longer than any other to record but I think I learned the most from It and It was insanely fun, so I really hope you all enjoy!!
    Now for a few quick notes!
    My mic was playing up during the recording so some sections have a bit of a fuzzy sound to them, sorry!
    At the end of the video the last fight is in the sandbox mode since I just wanted to test vs the Event Horizon but I forgot to record a section explaining that.. somehow.

    From the Depths is a series I would love to see continued.
    I'd like to introduce your next challenge should you choose to accept it. A Scavenger run. You can build whatever vessel you like, but you can't build weapons yourself. All weapons must be stolen from destroyed vessels using the prefab function (probably will require a quick trip to the sandbox to get it, that's totally fine), simple weapons are fine too.
    Can you defeat all who stand in your way with nothing but the very weapons they held against you?

    The enemy vessels getting surrounded by all the different drones really helped in killing them, especially towards the end where the enemies are a lot tougher to take down. It does mean that you're not getting all the hits on one target, but it means that you can target multiple weapons at once.
    Also, build more Borg Cubes. They're fun to look at & could maybe be made to stack together to create a floating wall of guns.

    This playthrough planted an idea in my tiny little brain. For your next challenge playthrough, i would love to see a "no movement playthrough" (except for going through portals of course) which emphasizes on creating a battle fortress strong enough to withstand the enemies that dare approach it. Use guns, use drones, use everything and anything you want to make this happen! With an adventure bell and a small craft for going through portals like in your space playthrough, i think this could make for a really interesting challenge!

  • @blueghost8878
    @blueghost8878 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    My idea for next challenge: Disposable drones only, you are not allowed to attach any drones back to your main craft and you can't repair them at all. I think that would restrict your materials you spend on the drones on it's own so that's all the rules. Even the particle cannon is allowed since it's expensive and the drones purpose is to die, if you want to make the challenge harder though you can add a rule that will disallow nukes. (Sorry that i suggest a drone challenge under a drone challenge video, but i hope you will use this some day)

  • @resurgam_b7
    @resurgam_b7 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I've made this suggestion several times, but here's hoping this is the time you notice it 😂
    I'd love to see a run where you use exactly one of each type of weapon. Maybe start with one of your choice, then add a new one with each portal you enter so that you can't focus on making one or two uber-powerful and neglecting the others. In the later levels you'd have to use your best judgement to maintain balance between all the weapons, but I think it could still be really interesting.
    Another idea that I came up with while watching this video. A one shot wonder-craft. You often limit how many resources you gather in order to not become overpowered early on. I'd like to see a run where you lean into the OP potential and design a craft that has only alpha strike weapons, no rapid fire, no mid-battle reloading, the challenge is to kill every vessel you encounter with just one volley. You could pick whatever weapons you want to use and no limit on how many, but whatever you come up with has to be fire slow enough that you can't fire more than one broadside per minute. That also means no point defense, or rather, a very ineffective point defense because it will only fire one shot. Obviously the game can be a bit unpredictable, so I'd rule that if you cut an enemy in half and/or knock out its combat ability with one hit, but it is technically still online, you can count that as a kill for the purposes of the challenge.

    Just a little run idea: one weapon only runs/gimmick runs are great, but can get a bit repetitive at times so instead of that, what if you did and ultra hard run, the rules of which would be something along the line of your craft can’t be more expensive than the least expensive craft in the difficulty. To do this, you would probably have to ignore nuke craft, and count drone swarm’s costs collectively.

      If you are having trouble making stable flyers have you tried using _very_ weak PID systems? flyers are so light that any PIDs you use are very vulnerable to feedback loops due to overcorrecting. Also, when using wing parts pay attention to how much lift the wings are making, often times (in jets especially) they make way to much lift so if the lift number seems a little ridiculous during short test flights feel free to turn down the lift ratio on them.

    I'd love to see your next movie be one where you build a craft (whatever type or mode you want) that CANNOT get any bigger after level 30. You need to have the final size framed out and covered with wooden ar.or at the least before that point in the game. You can use any weapon, any defense, anything you want (invluding sandbox oncer per levelup), it just can't grow past that point.

      @reliablyradioactiveraven6219 that's a better description of what I was meaning. But it can change since it is determined by how many resources he gathers and uses before level 30. Building a box or something would encourage him to have to go for resources and enough power to move it early on. And some of the resources would have to go into repairs, too. I don't think it would he impossible, but it would mean he had to put together a plan and stick to it more than just refitting every 2 levels.
      Edit: I like the videos, but this would change up the pace a bit, I think.

I love them, but they are quite strong. Don't know how well you could get them to work but I would love to see some Mortars in the future, I love large HE artillery in general and there is something hilarious about a huge, slow firing, mortar.

It's cool to explore the different designs, but they're often only up for half a second. Even just a second or two longer would really help with not having to freeze the videos quite as precisely to check.
    Seriously though, you bring a lot of enjoyment to this viewer. :)

  • @adamith360

    Idea for a future run. 1) you only get one weapon per type of weapon. one missile system, one partical cannon, one autocannon, etc. it would be a unique chalange to balance what weapon is tasked with fast target damage, which gets defence, and which gets killing power. it would also be cool to see you super size the weapons. 2) you build multiple ships, and each ship gets one kind of weapon only. A missile cruiser, a cram cannon battleship, a autocannon destroyer, etc. one weapon kind per ship, and no duplicate ships or multiple ships with the same weapon kind. also, love the vids. From the deapths is a series i wish to see continued in the future!

  • @reconab12

    I have 2 challenge ideas.
    Challenge number 1.)
    You are forced to use ring shields as part of your defense. As you said in a previous episode, the reason is that you have not messed with ring shields, and I am curious how effective they can be compared to the regular shields. A bonus condition you can add to the challenge is that you are not allowed munition defense of any kind. This includes anti-missile missiles, anti-munition lasers/cannons/plasma, etc. Also, you are not allowed to become a submarine during combat, you have to be either a boat or a flying vehicle. You are allowed to use any weapons you want during the challenge. And at the end of the challenge if you do not fight it during the run, see if your vehicle can not only survive but defeat the Event Horizon similar to what you did in this video.
    Challenge 2.)
    Do a "simple weapons only" run where you are only allowed to use weapons from the simple weapons section. This can include the rams and if you are feeling brave enough, the nukes. however, you must use at least one of every weapon by the end of the difficulty level and must be present on the end game vehicle, (this does include the nuke however you are allowed to have the nuke be on a drone and the drone will be held by the main craft. to make this more tricky, you can not be allowed to use spin blocks for the rams, and you can use the turret parts to make a multi simple weaponed gun.

    That was a fun episode; for some reason, I'm a huge fan of drones, so it's always great to see builds that feature, let alone focus on, them. I was hoping I'd get to see you make a knife drone, with a plasma melee weapon, but it seems I'll have to keep waiting.
    On a completely different topic, I have a suggestion for a challenge run that could be an interesting counterpoint to this run, though I'm not sure how well it would work in FtD.
    Mr. Protagonist Man: Build, and pilot, a ship that would be fitting for an anime protagonist. The main criteria is that your ship must be built for manual control, including manual aiming-Aiming, not targeting. You're going to need to get those shots to land yourself-To that end, missiles and drones are banned. As this is the protagonist's ship, it should be extremely fast and maneuverable, not just a big wall of armor with a grinder on the front, but beyond that you have a lot of flexibility when it comes to design and aesthetic. After all, no one said you have to be a Hero.
    There are also some optional modifiers, that could make it easier or harder:
    First Person: You must build a cockpit, with monitors, and use it to control your craft. You can set it up however you want, using whatever displays and information you want, but while you're in combat you must rely on what Rambot can see in the game. This modifier does not apply outside of combat or after you've confirmed your victory.
    It's not the size, it's how you use it: Everyone knows the protagonist's ship must be an extension of the protagonist, not some massive dreadnought. You're going to need to keep the body of your ship compact and tiny. I'll leave what that means up to you, but it should force you to make some serious compromises when it comes to things like armor and weapon hard points.
    Ultimate Weapon: One thing protagonists have going for them is their ultimate move; a super weapon or special technique that can be used to decisively turn the tides of battle, but it's not something that can be relied on. You are allowed to build one weapon system that breaks all of the other rules of this challenge. It also does not count against your normal resource limit. The catch is you can only fire it once per battle, regardless of how many enemies join or how long the battle goes. You also have to WIN a battle to recharge it; there's no reward for cowardice.
    -If you'd like to make it a little bit harder, you could limit it to only recharge when you go through a portal.
    White Base: Just because you're the protagonist doesn't mean you have to go it alone; you just have to do all the hard work. You're now allowed to have a mother ship or carrier of some sort. It's not allowed to attack or do anything offensive, but it can carry your resources and provide repair facilities. Also, if it gets destroyed by an enemy, you cannot rebuild it, so try not to let your allies die.

    I would love to continue seeing From the Depths. And what I'd also like to see (and had hoped for in this video) is doing "drone-weapons" like we see during the intro; not independant, maneuvering vehicles but pods orbiting or tethered to the main craft. Not well suited for being the only rule of a run but doing some of it would be nice (imagine several miniguns hoverng around your craft).

    In regards to particle cannons, I hope you don't end up banning them fully but rather add a cap of 1 or 2 of them with long charge time. That way they could be powerful but will need much more time or chance to deal devestating hits.

    Partical Cannons are by far the most powerful weapon, especially in volume (pierce is actually gamebreaking because an UNDERCLOCKED cannon with a good ai aiming it can one shot most non redundant ai ships... even godlies with ease) so if doing partical cannons, limit them because they do get game breaking fast...

Well, take the 2000K volume limit off so that this idea could in theory work, but you can only have 1 COMBAT CAPABLE VEHICLE. You may be allowed to have supply vehicles (If you're playing with Localized materials) and resource harvester creations, but again you cannot have any other vehicles that are able to fire weapons or ram the enemy, and to make it even more of a challenge, you can only do major changes once you defeat a faction, for example you can't completely re-design a vehicle's chassis until you defeat something like the Dustwind Gypsies or the Onyx Watch, I'm sure you would have a blast with it! If you do end up doing this idea, then I can't wait to see you build a huge lumbering vehicle on the ground! (Or air, your choice lol)
