- *Like void coloured lasers, so like pretty neat lasers. Not the starcraft unit, the Void Ray.
I love this weapon but It's a little odd looking in battles, feedback very wanted! This took SO much longer than I expected but really hope everyone enjoys this idea, at least in one video!!

Hey Lath. Seeing your laser turrets, it might help you to know that the laser transceiver can receive laser beams on its sides as well as the top. This means that it can be placed horizontally, making turrets less tall.
LOVLY, mean i can have some intresting concepts ot be done. as seeing this DOES make my old builder itch rattle back
Honestly, the fact that I knew this while lathrix didint… I… how the FUCK
So glad FTD is back. This show is how I found you originally and I missed it. Seeing this game grow has been beautiful
soooo true found him the same way and im just to happy FTD is BACK
Aye same here, love seeing this game played, and look forward to the next episode all the time.
I found him WAY back when he used to play robocraft
It was a great series =D
Amen on this also the matriarch and patriarch massive wood blobs to this is a huuuuge, welcome, change
I started watching you due to from the depths.
Same
Same
same and i bought the game becauseog it ... I have like less than 100h and just canr do anything 😅
I like having the lasers, look kind of cool obliterating things from kilometers away. I do kind of want to see those railguns return, there's just something really epic about watching loads of high caliber purely explosive shots raining down upon craft in short bursts from short range and then blowing craters into it. Not too sure about the particle cannons, I think I would like the railguns better to "bomb" targets. Otherwise, very great video as per usual, nice to watch it after an online exam.
you could also use cram for bombs, maybe try getting a homing affect
I've been wanting to see some particle cannon action! Oh this will be beautiful.
If you want my suggestion for weapons to use, I still recommend rapid fire particle cannon turrets. Yes, they're stupid, yes, they are anathema to the concept of efficient, but I love my death spaghetti.
@@weaponizedpizza8825 I too love rapid death spaghetti
Put the cockpit on a turret so it's like a ball turret from a bomber
I don't think you've played FTD
@@imperialguardsman135i made one controlled by ai with a dummy cannon it points at the enemy and i control the real guns
@@imperialguardsman135 Guardsman, you need to spend more time around those creepy oil-eaters in the Adeptus Mechanicus. They make some weird shit (when they aren't killing each other over them and making the Dark Angels seem wide open about their secrets.........wait, why do I see Asmodai coming towards my house?)
i saw the thumbnail and just went: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS LAZORSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I've always liked "energy" weapons in this game
they confuse me as F.
I just can't get a lazer, nevermind a particle cannon, that satisfies me.
I say keep the lasers. Boost the power and add a few more rtgs to help with cost-over-time. Then, cause you do need something with more kick to finish harder targets, an array of doom-crams, like a bomb version of this (th-cam.com/video/cbUpsAJBZ44/w-d-xo.html)
agree, tho maybe instead of a bomb cram.... do a huge missile and can they still target with no engine when droped like a bomb? would be cool and massive dmg
@@stormy9196 ooo, idk if missile fins work under gravity acceleration but that would be sick
@@GargoyleZoo like the rods from god in call of duty ghost lmao
@@GargoyleZoo Fins work but not well in space, you get turning thrusters for missiles meant for space but fins would be fine for a huge missile bomb
@@danielbovv5441 well a ejector would get it into atmosphere easily enough
since lasers are great at disabling craft, but lack in raw damage, I'd love to see either huge missile bombs (and I mean _HUGE_ huge missiles), doom cram bombs or guided nukes (without thrusters). This way you could fly towards the target, take out its weapons and then do a bombing run, carving out half of its deck
Yes!
Maybe not with the huge missile bombs or the guided nukes - really really material hungry, and that's very bad in Adventure. CRAM bombs would work, though. CRAM can get very efficient (and keep raw damage) if you put in the time to design them that way.
Weve been waiting for this one!
Id like to see the return of the millions of magnetic mini bombs.
yes or big missile!
I think it would be funny seeing a cloud approaching your enemy, knowing its actually 100+ needle bombs with megnetic heads
YES this
More, Bigger Lasers! Lasers are nice in general though some kind of downward firing orbital strike Particle Cannon could be cool as well. Generally energy weapons make sense due to the extra sci-fi feel of the style of craft.
a downwards-facing laser array could be cool, like that one battleship he made for the neter campaign, though this may take a TON of resources, i think it would be a cool end goal
@@Derpyliscous9107 Agreed, either a rain of small lasers slicing things apart or one massive doom laser melting away whole sections would look awesome!
Lathrix, have you ever made a harpoon seat , essentially a lunch pod where you sit and get shoot into at a ship to capture it , be the shell you always wanted to be
now i need one for my neth campign
First off, so glad you’re back to From the Depths. Honestly it’s one of my favorite games to watch, and nobody does it like Lathrix.
Second, I would love to see some particle cannons on this craft. I don’t see those very often and I’d love to see what you come up with.
lasers and railguns are my favorite weapon systems, and they are both quite effective at long range (lasers are literally known for this lmao) so i would love to see them blasting the enemies into pieces. particle cannons are... not great from a long distance, but maybe later on you can turn the craft into some kind of mothership, and release several smaller crafts, potentially with small particle cannons to go towards the enemy and destroy them, while you are cutting them into pieces with lasers from space. this would mean your craft is relying quite heavily on energy tho... also you said you don't want to use missiles, as you use them every time, so no meteorite-like strikes with high explosive missiles from space at huge speed, colliding with the enemy. also there is the "rods from god" idea for devastating kinetic missiles, from one of your older videos, where you tested different missile ideas for fun from your space station... there are a LOT of options = )
i like the idea of the particle drones
Particle cannons can be plenty accurate at long range, and almost reasonably efficient w/ attenuation. The thing is, particle cannons are only as efficient as their energy source - if your generation is good enough, distance won't matter nearly as much.
I love cannon :)
@@old_pork Particle cannons are amazing, don't get me wrong, but they aren't the most efficient at long range. That's why i had the idea for the drones. They may use something like the short range end, they will just evaporate the enemy, and you don't even need too much energy = )
ya just a pure sollid rod of death is fun. and i say make it a rod fall event "simple when some basterd god hates you" its just raining solid railgun gods out the wazu!
I would like to see a rocket cluster bomb launcher, I think that would look really cool, and could provide a decent amount of damage. Also maybe add some sort of waist guns on it like the B-17.
This should be upgraded to 'Cluster Magnetic Mine Launcher'. Just shoop! and a large missile slides out, fragmenting once then twice and the little mines begin their lonely migration to a new home.
@@AAngelUriel yes even better.
One fun idea.... mothership craft that follows the idea of the american thors hammer program. Massive heavy metal rods flung from space at targets to rip holes in them. Might be a fun experiment to try in FTD.
I actually enjoy watching you cheese things every once in awhile, so this is great!
I do think you could put some missiles in the wing tips, facing outward, that way when theyre fired the smoke trails will make it look really cool.
Plasma and lasers would be a great pairing - go full sci-fi with it!
Woo, Another episode!
seriously, thanks for recording for us, your content is among the best I know and I really want to thank you for sharing with us
One thing I did was put a camera on the turret and then linked it with a monitor. Super cool way to get a zoomed in feed without being cheaty.
I'd like to see a single rail gun under the ship at max gauge with a really slow rate of fire, but with devastating speed and damage. One shot one kill.
YES
Because of the way games and transparent things are funky usually one suggestion for the cockpit is to make it entirely (or with some scaffold) out of 2 layers of glass, the external one bein colored and the internal transparent, so it look cool from the outside but you can still see clearly from the inside in fps mode
I honestly would like to see some kind of factory. I want to see this plane release a swarm of mini drones with a singular purpose: Beam tiny lasers at enemies, stop incoming fire, and just unleash dumb bullets at the enemy. You could even add a torpedo dropping variant, but mostly i wanna see a laser drone swarm :D
I'd love to see some cluster magnetic mines being dropped from on high so you can also hit vulnerable underbellies on ships too
More of my favorite TH-camr and my favorite series.
Didn't skip a beat watching
As this is currently a void ray, here's some starcraft 2 inspired secondary weapons, from some of the games other capital units.
Ultralisks have a headbut attack. So space plane ramming vehicle. tassadar style.
BCs have yamato cannon. So A massive particle cannon that takes ages to recharge.
Carrier has interceptors. a number of little space planes which fly out and shoot the thing for you. Possibly make them bombing craft.
Alternatively, just add in some burst lasers to supplement your constant lasers. Keep it all thematic and stuff.
Seeing a notification from you uploading always makes my day! Love your videos :)
Extremely advanced weapons and systems , like lasers, shields, energy cannons, are so on the target with a "starship" that you need to have them all!
Orbital Mega Cram! Love your stuff man thanks for putting your time in 👍
i do like the lasers and i think it could be fun, if there were lots of particle cannons with medium accuracy, completly oblitarating the surface of an enemy craft
As it is with the back sections all I can see is a regional variant bug type kyogre, and I find that hilarious.
Omg you're right, i thought it reminded me of something but couldnt tell what it was. Thats also why i love the design of this craft so much, kyogre is an awesome looking pokemon.
Maybe you could add a small point defense advanced cannon on the rear of the plane
Would be cool to watch in my opinion
YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS
MEEEE TOOOOOO
I'd really like to see lasers and particle cannons for orbital bombardment purposes as well as RTG's and Shields I'm talking like a single big particle cannon that only fires once every so often you have to be right above them but just completely annihilates them
I've always loved beams in games, so seeing them is nice to me. Kinda think the core color should be a dark red or purple though, for more of a void beam feel than the white (though perhaps they're white in 40k? I honestly don't know there) while keeping the black edges. I also think you may need to sort of flip the cockpit to the bottom to actually see things from it. Guess kinda going.. manta-ray-ish in doing so? But wouldn't have to third person so much then.
I'd love to see you try out space engineers, especially with some of the modded playthroughs you can do. It's got a lot of those ship builder and sandbox elements you love in FPS form.
dunno how severe his situation is with motion sickness, but that game might be a bit much
If you want to be able to see easier but keep the colored glass, you can either have two layers of glass where the inside is unpainted (creating a tinted window effect) or you can use mimic glass and do the same thing
I just enjoy watching you have fun, so I say go for missles. Let the specter of the E. Coli be reborn, and dominate your foes with frame wrecking missle spam!
I love lasers and I advocated for lasers on the previous video. However from what I have seen I can not say that khorn would approve of the amount of damage. I believe that we must move to particle cannons or rail guns to provide maximum devastation. Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull thrown.
While I'm certain a skull thrown would please Khorne, especially if it hit someone, usually the phrase ends on the word "throne" as in the really ostentatious chairs gods and kings sit on.
Love the Space lasers, feel very austin powers. Adding a particle cannon like a slow firing massive one would be like the GDI weapon from command and conquer.
One GIANT missile strapped to the bottom. So big it can only be fired once per flight.
Could do a kinetic warhead for laughs, or or all explosive, so it turns everything into a doughnut (by way of giant hole in the middle)
It'd be interesting to see a combo of lazers and high yield warheads from cannons. Seeing how well the system you have on your craft being effective for punching semi-clean holes in the larger craft gives me an idea of the potential were you could lower the over all power draw of the main lazers and use them as a "utility" weapon, one which burns off the armor in a precise point on the enemy and to later exploit with a high yield warhead from a CRAM/Rail cannon or missiles/rockets. It may be not as say effective on long range targets but if you expand the belly of the craft and install a dual cannon rig you can potentially have enough volume of fire to pass through any active defense systems.
Can you keep with the insectoid theme? Maybe make some mini drones shaped like flies, bees, gnats, termites, and other small flying bugs? Another idea keeping in line with the whole "bug army" idea is along side the smaller "mini drones", you could have some larger drones shaped like beetles, hornets, wasps, mantises, mosquitoes, ladybugs, cockroaches, or other dragonflies. You could make an army with you being the matriarch, like a queen.
I understand if this might not be possible in the Adventure mode, but I believe this would make a great challenge in one of the more normal campaigns. The Ashes of the Empire campaign would probably be the best/easiest campaign to do this in, but it could work in any of the other ones too.
I've been having a lot of fun messing with turreted multi-barrel particle cannons. The shotgun lenses can be impressively effective even with relatively short guns attached, and they still have 2 ports to build a loop on without giving you a larger aperture to armor up or mess with space constraints. It's not exactly 'one shot one kill' but with a fairly short charging time and a low focus it feels pretty good.
With your setup though I'd assume that the lasers are already eating up as much engine power and energy as you want to give them, so if you want a big hitter to finish off slow targets you should probably go for CRAM or (dare I even suggest) some BIG missiles.
I think the lasers are doing fine as long as your target isn't too thickly armored. Great for zapping off pesky bits like LAMS, cannon barrels, and detection components. (Though a bit of a tip that might also be a nit-pic, the laser transmitter-things can still receive energy from any direction. You can really cut down the connectors by placing them horizontally, just make sure you have some blocks holding it on).
I do think you need something that can pack a punch at range, like a railgun or large missile. I don't think it would need to be anything fancy or fast-firing, just big enough to crack open the armor in a few shots so your lasers can slurp up the juicy bits.
I like the lasers. Cram bombs seem fun, more unique. Like the pods, but do think they should have some ion thrusters. Along with the storage containers on top just fit in and look nice for some reason
FTD will always be my favorite
@vellicia 24 what the hell is this?? Like why are you replying with *that*
Keep the lasers, but also have some little detachable pac-pods that can fly independently.
Basically, have your laser-plane in space, and then drop some pods filled with PAC, to blast your enemies out of existance
Some Bunker buster bombs would probably help and some misdile intercepters and flares/decoys are a must too.
For a cockpit I really like using cameras to cover the sides that are hidden by the craft/armour. Additionally a camera mounted on a turret and the linked screen on a turret inside the cockpit so you can aim and still see the screen can be used to make it look quite cool. You can even have a composite screen with different levels of zoom.
However I've only ever used that concept on larger crafts with plenty of space.
But if the choice is more armour or a cool looking command centre it's clear what I will choose... I should mention that my crafts tend to either be quite fragile or so big a d expensive that I can't use them outside the sandbox.
Yes, tasty tasty biomass! Consume this world, lathrix!
I think if you're going Tyranid with this, you could take inspiration from the Harridan and the Hive Crone, with a pair of HUGE cannons (particle cannons? 🤔😍) and or deployable drones like the spore mines.
Putting a big doom-PAC reminds me of martian saucers from old movies, where they would get above a building and evaporate it.
14:36 you killed a TREBUCHET with the lasers! WOW
The toughest foe for your space fighter so far was a sailship. FtD can be an interesting game.
As for the weapons, anything is fine. I'm not against missiles but something else might be welcome for a change since missiles are what you usually go for.
I am so glad this series is back, and I LOVE the spacecraft. I would love to see railguns to complement the lasers!
FTD is great 🙂 Keep the Laser turrets, they a nice to watch and not overpowered, so (as others and yourself suggested) you use the particel cannon to bomb the target if it still lives when you get there
Void dragon? 0.0 Also fun weapon idea, gliding nuke, basically a separate craft that latches too the belly that when disconected it can be remotely guided but with little to no propulsion, also could be seen as throwing an explosive baby at the enemy
I would love to see non propelled missiles crammed with explosives and some small guidance systems
A particle cannon bomber would be so cool, just a little laser eye that blinks and bam the hostile has poofed into shrapnel
When you said the words cram bombs I almost shouted with joy. You should definitely make giant cram bombs.
Khorne be praised, like a chaos warships harvesting souls from low orbit :)
Reminds me of A flying spinal column. If you are going to make the front section larger/deeper. You could put smaller point defense autocannons. Or A huge particle cannon stack on the belly.
A clustercrammbomb sounds like a funn finishing weapon. The railshottgunn seamed funn but would be more efective on a brawler type platform, but I'm alwhays a fan of advanced caannons.
I loved the design of that spaceshippfront and would love to see it uppear in a actual design. Also maby a nother full series on FTD that isn't adventuremode? Jess i enjoy waching others building designs that look awsome while utherly trashing anything i ever created.
Have a good one.
I will always vote for partical cannons. Ever since I got started with your 2020(?) Adventure series, I have had a fondness for your use of them. Besides, when I think of Space Lasers, I don't really imagine a beam of continuous enegery, but a sudden PEW of death that annihilates a victim.
That said, some day I would love to see a more automated Adventure craft. No manual aim, just pilot to the corpses. But that's because I enjoy learning about how to get the AI to do things and optimize the craft. I'm weird.
you should make your own stellaris gigastructures in from the depths like a flloating dyson sphere as your main base
While possible, both to make the dyson sphere and to do this idea in general,
1. it would only be usefull in the Neter Campaign,
2. this idea is really expensive, cus you would need to build big structures to capture the look of stuff like the sphere very early and would hurt you for the entire run
3. this gimmick runs out fast, so even if you could afford to make the sphere in the Neter Campaign, you would end at the stellar systemcraft and then just have to end the campaign early (and if you were talking about megastructures, even earlier).
@@koenhartholt7033 i mean you don't need to start with a dyson sphere u can start with like just a habitat and there are an absolute ton of gigastructures so like just have him base all of his vehicles around megastructures and ships from stellaris
If you want to fire particle cannons dowards from space, you should probably use vertical lenses with an input port oriented sideways - those will likely be the most efficient type at the ranges you will be fighting at, along with sniper lenses without an input port (they are most efficient between 1082 m and 2198 m range), and offer a much greater sideways capability than sniper ones.
18:30 Well your magnificent spaceship does indeed look similar to a Pokémon called Kioger :D
Kyogre*
I would love to see particle cannons, they can be quiet fun
They're like laser pointers that point things, INTO OBLIVION!!!
You can hide mesh things with the deco menu so you don't have to feel guilty about your noodle lasers
i would like to see a single massive particle canon on the belly of your craft.
Its like a glassing cannon form Halo.
one or two, very very large cram cannons, that dump a round or two that are unbelievably chonky
I believe that a decent addition to your current craft could be a small drone swarm or bombs. Imagine dropping a swarm of bombs directly ontop of an enemy ship.. that to upside-down mortar cram
regarding the weapons I think the idea with those "particle-Bombs" would be awesome
Colossus style particle cannon!!! Just a beam of destruction that you shoot straight down, detonating an enemy in one hit
In all seriousness, I feel like particle cannons would be really cool. Just don’t know how viable they are on a space craft cause of the range…
I like Lazer
If you want your lasers to look better and could be better protected, add them to the wing tips in there own turret that could shoot in a 180 front to back, top to bottom. for reference the aircraft Pb4y-2 has side guns that can shoot about 130 degrees left and right and 180 top to bottom.
Love seeing FTD as always, maybe some railguns for the next weapon?
I love the video and THE FREAKING VOID BEAM(really cool). Also, I say that you should go full slaanesh and then call it the damsel fly! Keep focusing on energy weapons please
Personally, I feel like you've used a lot of missiles, rapid fire advanced cannons, and particle cannons in the past, so I really like seeing you focus on more unusual weapons, whether that means systems you've avoided in the past (like lasers) or just unusual loadouts (I still want to see a graviton ram sending ships to the sea floor). I'd be a bit disappointed if you just built another ultra-long range particle cannon and murdered everything from the safety of orbit.
By the same token, I'm actually kind of happy that your ship handles like a drunk whale in atmosphere. It gives you a really good reason to stay in orbit and means you have some actual tradeoffs you need to deal with.
Beyond all of that, as a spaceborne capital ship, you really need to replace that cockpit with a proper bridge. 😝 But seriously, the full bridge and periscope screen was one of my favorite parts of your build during the last season and I think being in space could let you expand on that, with more camera angles and, potentially, displays for other types of sensors or even a detachable scout drone that feeds a camera back into an in-game display. It'll be like zooming in without needing to zoom in! (Come on, you know you want a proper mothership and it'll be an excuse to use the new detachable blocks.)
Anyone else think the ship now looks like kyogre from Pokémon. Truly piloting a whale through space!
This vulture could have multiple different finishing weapons for combating different types of vehicles. A cram bomb, missile bomb, and particle cannon doom beam.
Mostly though I think it should have a melee drone/capturing vehicle, to get closer with the surface dwellers...
11:25 it the battle ship yamito from that one movie
I would love to see you make some mini fighters to send out, seeing as your fighting mostly from space having little cram dive bombers that just shoot down like a missile to drop a nasty payload and then hightail it back up would be epic!
the idea of a capital space ship with a mass destruction laser system and a last resort mega dedstruction realgun would be amazing
Add MASSIVE emp missiles and then perhaps a particle cannon and a cram cannon too, so when the enemy is paralyzed you can rip them to pieces
you could put a burstfire railgun in the front like an A-10 for Air-to-Ground...
death lasers from space! love it
If you have lots of 1m belt autoloaders in a fairly low calibre you can make an A-10 warthog style gatling cannon. Useful for intercepting missile's or just shredding enemies.
Loving seeing these ftd videos!
I'd say you could try out a burst laser, or charge laser, where you use destabilizers to fire a big percentage at a time and then let it charge without firing for a bit.
But with the resources you have by now, you probably don't really need it to charge and can just have it 4Q continuous.
I'd use many lasers and small missiles, swarm their defences with the missiles and have a large continuous laser with many pulsating smaller ones.
Comically large particle cannon and huge armoured engine pods!
Either a doom cram bomb or a single huge missile for nuking things from space (no thrusters)
Perhaps adding a vehicle spawner to make nukes might be fun, it would be expensive and high risk, but big boom!
Railguns are my favorite so would like to see an improved version of what you had before, but also a single very large cram bomb would be hilarious to watch obliterate enemies from above
Leave the lasers as-is, add a Huge cluster missile (you've got all that free space in the wings, use it for the submunition stowage- maybe a cloud of small EMP mines dumped from a huge beam-riding thump missile from space will be fun).
Suggestion: build a large ship that stays in space and fires lasers while deploying smaller fighters that fall back down into the atmosphere and dock back with the large ship when the fight is done
Instead of a flimsy plane, you should build an ominous Borg cube styled thingy that assimilates all comers with lasers :)
