Awesome exactly what we were looking for!

[@FreerkHoltes]

Happy to hear!

[@loginlover]

Freerk used the diesel I put by the seaport in a video! What an honor

[@FreerkHoltes]

:D. Thank you for the diesel!

[@loginlover]

@@FreerkHoltes I learned a lot of my logi powers watching your videos years ago, I guess we've come full circle

[@smithonme1888]

NOTE: The warden gunboat now has the same inventory capacity as the Colonial one (i.e. 100 of all mortar shells, except for flare which is 30)

[@FreerkHoltes]

Yeah, the inventory changes were implemented after I did the video if I'm not mistaken (just like they added the spotter seat after I finished half of the edit) . Luckily the mechanics of the gunboats are still the same

love u freerk!

[@danielmartinezmartinez441]

Nice to know!

[@PROLIFIC_TRAVELS]

Freerk is amazing 😊

[@_Meriwether]

Colonial turret has 280° arc, Warden 360°.
That figures.

[@marinecor23]

do they intentionally make one of the factions weaker or is that just a meme?

[@_Meriwether]

@@marinecor23 Depends who you ask, but there's a notable trend.

[@jackhipp5370]

Didn't the colonial gunboat originally have a 40mm turret instead of a mortar?

[@_Meriwether]

@@jackhipp5370 One 120mm turret, one MG turret. Wardens had the same, plus an option to build one without the MG but with a second 120mm turret.

[@chillpotato7239]

Bro collies get to have 100 ammo in their mortars while wardens only get 30 and you are saying that we have a slightly higher arc is more op

[@gurrajapp3076]

Thx for the vid

[@Nick-eu3ot]

Is there a way to maintain a specific speed without accelerating or decelerating?
For example, maintaining 5kns even though the maximun is 15kns.

[@FreerkHoltes]

Not to my knowledge. But I wouldn't be surprised if there's a combination of perfectly timed actions that makes you do something like that (Like the cruisecontrol trick in trucks)

[@ermetedelbuono3452]

Can a listning device be mounted on the gunboats?

[@ninovalenzuela1019]

No but you should suggest that

[@DEAD_OFFICER]

Can i repeiring the gun boat with hamer in the battel?

[@koberyan2880]

No.

[@FreerkHoltes]

Nope, I forgot to put that in, but the ONLY way to repair a gunboat now is in a shipyard

[@saudade7842]

The hardest part is getting the rmats lmao those things are not easy to get solo

[@FreerkHoltes]

I tend to pick up small amounts of components from component mines when they are not being camped and just keep the rmats in the refinery queue until I have enough rmats to make the stuff I want to make. Only issue with this is that you need keep resetting your refinery queue.
Alternativly you can put rmats in a personal stockpile until you have enough but then again you need to hop on every two days to reset the expiry timer

[@saudade7842]

@@FreerkHoltes I found a comp field with a cool guy running it who let me take anything the harvesters weren't getting, and I remembered about comp mines

[@FreerkHoltes]

@@saudade7842 Thta's good to hear!
