Thank you 😊 I wish you a nice day!

Hi there, Yes I already knew that, I just thought there are so many wild Dreckos on this map + the ones in my stable, they will lay a Glossy egg eventually and I didn´t want to spent labour time and resources for the Mealwood... but maybe I should make a temporary farm just to get my first Glossy eggs 🤔 Thank you so much for your support and your tip, have a nice day!

Hi SmokeJam, thanks for your honest critics, but I still greatly disagree with your opinion and of course I am going to tell you why: 1. I don´t really understand, why you said that the damage of the Ion beams suffer. As long as you simply conduct a beam WITHOUT combining it with another one, there shouldn´t be any damage loss (at least thats what the extended in-game description says about prisms), maybe you could clarify that a little? I mean of course inside your prism array you already have some losses due to the initial combination... is that what you meant? And since there is no "conduction-loss", you can turn otherwise useless parts into real damage monsters by simply adding some conduction prisms to the front! And you don´t even need ammunition (which can become problematic in carrier...), so as long as there is enough power, they can shoot forever. That´s why I said, Ion beams are your greatest friends :D 2. The weapon ranking ONLY applies to MEGA-ships. To rank the weapons, I did not only take in raw stats like firepower, accuracy, power drain, range etc., but also some other metrics like overall usability for different MEGA-ship designs. Let´s take the railgun: in normal ships definitely one of the most powerful weapons, but in MEGA-ships they have limited use due to their mechanic and their extension modules. If you have a ship thats multiple sections long, or that is vertical, you can´t simply throw them in everywhere, since they will get obstructed by the sections above and thats why I decided to put it into the 2nd category. Btw, there should be one example for a MEGA-ship with railguns inside one of my tutorial parts, if you want to see more about it ;) 3. Please keep in mind, that this is more of a construction guide and not an efficiency test, for example I built the Boomerang only to showcase certain features (such as the Ion beam aray of the ship or in another part I used this to showcase the connection type and docking process). It´s more of a showcase ship, rather then a well balanced fighter. 4. I would definitely not recommend to use heavy lasers instead of ion beams as a primary weapon (not even as secondary weapons...), but ONLY in MEGA-ships, they are great in casual ships! Of course they are somewhat good against small ships, you can add some for rear or backside protection. But the only practical application as a main weapon I can think about is a MEGA-ship orbiter, so their use is limited to a single MEGA-ship design. They have far less damage output and most important: they expose a wide area of your ship to enemy fire. And at this scale, even a full row of small shields + multiple large shields can´t protect them against all the damage monsters out there (nukes, railguns, missiles, Ion beams and even chainguns with large magazine extensions are enough to take this down). And also keep in mind: MEGA-ships are most often very large structures which makes them very heavy, so their evasion potential against projectiles isn´t usually that high (except for the orbiter, that´s why I named it here). I hope that settles everything, if you want to ask/critisize further, please let me know, this is very helpful to me! Thanks for your support and your thoughts, I hope you have a nice day/night!

@@Gobbo-Gamer Apparently my answer got deleted because I put a link into it? Anyways, thanks for the long answer! Railguns: I think it is a taste difference. Yes, they are reliant on compliment weapons, especially on big ships, but for me they work better than ion beams if I just need to get rid of something quickly. I guess it comes down to preference, I never run the rail alone on a mega ship, there are usually deck cannons on the flanks and rockets flying out of every other crevice the ship has XD Ion Beam: The RUclipsr Captain Caffeine made a very concise test about the damage falloff. His Basic Laser Guide minute 10.05 is the start, I think my comment got deleted because I linked the timestamp video. In short: The damage falls off with range in a linear fashion. If you have more distance between prisms, the beam will lose damage over that range. The receiving prism will now calculate this diminished damage as the new baseline and you lose damage over range again etc. Compounding that over a mega ship turns an 8-emitter beam into the same as lets say a 4-emitter beam if it was closer to the front.

@@SmokeJam Ok that´s great to know, I never tested the Ion prism that much so I haven´t noticed the damage drop, but of course this lowers the expected damage output by a lot... I guess its still usable and has a great application, as long as there are enough prisms close to each other to lower the damage drop. I will definitely keep that in mind for future builds :D Thank you for your support!

That´s so kind of you, thanks for the support :D I wish you a great day!

Yes and this station has enough firepower to pierce literally every battle ship :D Have a nice day!

Hi there, its not much magic behind it: I simply use creative mode and load all the ships from the library, it would take me way to long to find the perfect situation within a campaign for my MEGA-ships... Have a nice day, and thanks for your support :D

Also if u want I can drop you very efficient drecko ranch setup i have stolen from somewhere,I don't remember where from

Hi there, thanks for your tips, I never thought about a closed loop with the carbon skimmer, even though it seems so logical now… And about the designs: I think I stay with my own ones, even if they are very messy, I just love to try out new things ;) Have a nice day and thanks for your help :D

Hi there, thanks for your opinion and your support, your really helping me :D Have a nice day/night!

Hello, thank you, I always try to share fresh design ideas and new inventions with my community and its great to hear you like it! And you are right: I am indeed from germany ;) I wish you a great day/night!

Hi, that is great to hear ☺️ good luck with your colony then! Have a nice day :D

@Gobbo-Gamer you too! Waiting for the next episode ^^

XD Yeah its a liiitle messy but the connection is actually tighter then you might think :D Have a nice day man!

but honestly this looks so cool

Wow thank you! 😊 I wish you a nice day!

Hi there, thanks, actually the head is a little wiggly, but for a 45 degree connection, this is already pretty good, these connections always wiggle around a little more… Have a nice day!

Hi there, yes you are absolutely right, I miscounted that, I had 16 nukes in a previous design and somehow forgot about it 😅 Have a nice day!

Hello, I can already imagine a ship that uses a laser cage in close combat as its main weapon… Maybe I build something like this in future :D Have a nice day!

​@@Gobbo-Gamer :)

Hi there, great to hear you like my MEGA-ships ;) I wish you a great day/night!

Thank you, it was definitely wild to construct :D Have a nice day!

Hi there, thank you, your comment means a lot to me :D Have a nice day!

Hi, that´s a very useful tip, thank you! Have a nice day :D

Hello, I finished my great hall in the 3rd episode ;) and yeah the gas transfer is a thing but I am not concerned about it too much, since we don´t have major problems here tight now. I wish you a great day, thanks for your tips and your support!

Hello, yeah you are probably right, I should have built the great hall first, but I still think the showers are worth it, even though its only a small boost in comparison ;) Have a nice day!

@Gobbo-Gamer they do get rid of the sopping wet and wet feet debuffs at the cost of dupe time. So there's benefits for sure. It's all in the pros & cons :)

Ok I can agree to that, and thanks to you I got an idea for my next thumbnail XD Thanks for your help!

That sounds like a lot of fun, maybe I should build one myself ;) Have a nice day!

@Gobbo-Gamer try testing how they are thrown you can have about 10 to 13 Launchers turning inwards the Weird thing is the all function like a pushing system an you can hit targets up to 5km away. Mine fields ships are truelly the most destruktive weapon in the game Mine fields are really exciting and under experimented with

Thank you, I will try my best ;) Have a great day!

Oh thank you, happy Halloween, I wish you a great day/night ;)

One of my most favourites ;) Have a nice day!

That would be a great laser show indeed XD Have a nice day!

Hi there, yes the damage output in the direct vicinity of the mine is just brutal, especially against shields and outer ship parts! I wish you a great day! :D

Now I am curious, what types of MEGA-ships did you built and how many modules do they have? Have a nice day!

@@Gobbo-Gamer normally around 3-4 modules most of them were long range bombardment ships (i use mods in my playthroughs) and for their size they are surprisingly really effective

Hi there, thank you for your comment, I think I fixed it now, I have no idea why this happens sometimes to my playlists, but RUclips loves to rearrange them every once in a while, but for now all my playlist are updated and should be fine... Sorry for this inconvenience, I wish you a nice day/night!

Hi there, Wow, Diminisher is also a great name! But think Serpent fang fits as well, so in the end its just the question of the personal preference here ;) Have a nice day/night!

Thats true, you can also place them sideways or in a 45 degree angle, the problem is, that the damage output in relation to your exposed area is relatively low, so thats why I wouldn‘t recommend them as your main weapon, but of course if you have some tiny spaces left, you can use one or two as fillers for some extra damage ;) Have a nice day!

Hi there thanks for your ideas, these kinds of comments are really helpful for me! But I also want to say as an explanation: this whole ship has only 1 single purpose: to share my inventions and design ideas with my community, so its not about cost or combat efficiency, but more a funny way to showcase my technological solution for a simple problem (making doors, that can close and open whenever needed) ;) I wish you a great day/night :D

I am always on fire when I play video games for you!

Hi there, Exactly, thats the great advantage of MEGA-ship, to have one operable ship that still surpasses every enemy in size and firepower! (without mods of course) Have a nice day/night! :D

XD I can imagine that’s comfortable for you, unfortunately I don’t speak portuguese… Have a nice day!

Hi there, I always set the ship parts I don‘t necessarily need to maneuver as well as all enemies on normal AI 👍 Its way easier to record nice footage like this, if I also were to command the other parts as well, that would be a total chaos to watch… Have a nice day/night! :D

Thank you, and I won’t stop ;) Also thanks for your great support!

yepp R.I.P. Serpent Fang XD Have a nice day!
