I'm brand new to this game and gravitated to the ion emitter myself. Love the design challenge, it's not as simple as "build more to win". Still working on it though. I've got a design that can cut up the terror in half the time, but still working on survivability. (Tested for proof of concept in freeplay with invulnerability on, before I dedicate time to perfecting a ship that turns out to be ineffective.) I'm using 7 prisms each relieving 2 beams. To keep the size down, I'm firing beams from all 4 directions. Flat line of beams on each side at the back, and staggered at the front so they all line up without blocking my gun-barrel as it were. If an absolute noob can give some advice: the two prisms at the back could be unneeded if you rearrange the emitters properly, and 2 prisms is 10k expensive. Then again, my ship keeps on breaking as of yet, so what do I know, yet.
That fits perfectly with my recent deep dive into speculative biology here on TH-cam as part of my research for creature and character design as I develop a roster for a game I'm working on. Anyways solid ship design on the first one as far and as I am so far and it's good to see somebody doing beams Justice Thanks for the content and you've earned a new sub 😀
Oh yeah did you know that you can stack beans behind one another barely clearing the beam ahead of them in order to focus beans without the focusing gym? It's a technique I discovered way back before the crystals were a thing and it's kind of difficult to pull off because you have to make a very long Delta shape craft but it is definitely an interesting way of condensing beams and I don't think I've really ever seen anybody else do it so if you try it and you make any content maybe mention the Nazca empire as a little Easter egg and I'll know that I spread a little Joy.
I think if there's one imporvement to be made it would be in some point defences to help block some missiles. How and where to place them is the questionthough. A few near either rear side manned by a couple of crew would probably work. Maybe one or two inside the barrel area also to help prevent lucky shots breaking through.
@@christopherrogers532 Yeah, part of me wants them to make a larger flak battery that's top mounted like the Deck Cannon and absolutely chews through ammo but has a much wider firing arc considering the regular flak battery has a measly 40 degree firing arc making it almost useless. The other part of me knows it'd be OP and make missiles (and even railguns) mostly useless unless you have a bunch like the ship in the video.
I hate to say this but I think this game is basically dead. Unless the designer of the game can get some help making new weapons and armor and ship ideas for the game from modders and just make those things a default part of the game. I don't see this getting pass early access anytime soon. That's a shame really all this work he's put in and it looks great and feels great to play but just seems to have gotten old with no real cool ideas
@@lax4life0607 considering I own the game and haven't seen this yet and must be a more recent development then of course I wouldn't know this, if this is true then I hope the best for this game after all star sector is another game alot like this one far as game theme goes and has a very dedicated fan base to it. Hopefully Cosmo also does the same and maybe includes many game features like faction based ships, carrier options, long range artillery and also interesting and new boss ships that make even the likes of the hydra look unprepared in comparison. Considering I haven't really touched the game in a while obviously the comment didn't age well but it still stands as far as what I was discussing. He found success by simply making mods that he saw others working on a main part of the game in sure but I'll have to actually get back into the community and do some research before I make more comments about it
@@gangsterguardsman4576 considering that this game has been in development for a while and I hadn't heard of it till I saw a TH-camr named Drea who mostly does videos over besiege talk about it if say it's something to be worried about as far as the games popularity and over all public knowledge. Of course he can't afford a huge marketing but I bet if he let a few more TH-camrs play the game and experiment with the customize system he has it be a sure hit. Yet I've only really seen one rather well known TH-camr play the game so far which just seems concerning but I also know this game has a very loyal and die hard fan base that just loves the style and combat myself included. I genuinely hope that the steam version is updated to have plenty of new weapons, ship designs, multiplayer balance and finally factions and maybe even huge boss ship larger then even the large ships we have already

Apparently, Mesonychoteuthis is the scientific name for the colossal squid
huh

Dang. What an impressive ship!
You are really good at explaining how all the systems in cosmoteer work, I hope you continue to make more, keep up the good work!
That's an extremly simple and effective design. I like it ;)

This is one of those ships you send a point defense boat or two along with since it can't deal with the issue itself.

Yeah no a deck mounted flak would be broken. Missiles and railguns already at times feel weak against the ions.
Wow that ship is genius j
This is sick, do you have the ship PNG?
Nice! I've been looking at getting this game
It's currently free during early access. You can download it here: cosmoteer.net
@@Quandangv or steam
12:08 I'm not completely sure how to pronounce it either, but I pronounce it like this:
Meh-sow-nee-kou-tyoo-this
I would pronounce like that too
Amazing
Holy crap, that's a deathray if I've ever seen one!
cool ship. watch out for players with TBs cuz theyll just face you away :(
When I make my ship diagonally, it can’t move forward it goes diagonally, what can I do to fix this?
Try changing the travel direction. It's found in the settings of your ship.
Huh. A TH-camr still playing Cosmoteer Classic.
Interesting...
Imagine building some point defense.
omg the game never tells that combining the prizms reduce damage on 25% ...
pressing alt gives you more info for everything
How did you turn ion lasers, trusters and shields turn 45⁰
but it is actually 90°
Noice👍
Bad. Ass.
most efficient is actually to use zero ion crystals since there will be 0% damage losses.
yea but you can only use one row XD
Effective when you look at dmg jea.
Problem is you have a much biger area to protect. With prisms you can hide your beams in the back.
Cheater lol bugfix soon

the dev is releasing 1.0 on steam with a ton more features in 2022.
Original commenter obviously quite uninformed

@@michaelsantangelo1875 yeah check out the website, there's a whole list of stuff he's planning on doing, including factions!
