• Ideal armor thickness for a somewhat independent ship January 10, 2019
  Good evening, I havent played FtD in a while but had a sudden urge to play it again. The first idea was it, to completly overhaul an old ship hull I had laying around. Im happy with overall size and shape, but im not sure with the armor. How should the armor layout be to […]
• Adventure Mode Updates and Question January 10, 2019
  Does anyone know if there are any plans for adventure mode to be updated in the future. Currently I prefer the idea of it more to the reality. A perfect example: last night, started a new game, made the raft slightly less raft-like and got a couple of small missiles bolted to the sides. Then, […]
• 2m Sealed propeller shaft January 10, 2019
  In my game the steam part, 2m Sealed propeller shaft ends up being a 1m part (even though the model take up 2m); it even says 1m in the little current build item bubble instead of 2m like when I selected it in the build menu. You can connect a propeller at the 1m mark, but it […]
• Does small caliber APS matters? The Decanus-class frigate. January 9, 2019
  After finishing my two corvettes, it was natural to advance to a frigate-class unit. Actually, I was aiming at a light frigate, someting within 75 to 100k cost. Finally, it's almost hitting 120k and cannot be called "light" anymore. Let me introduce the Decanus-class: It re-uses mainly the turrets from Evocati-class turrets, all beltfed-based and improved […]
• APS problem firing from script January 9, 2019
  I have been working on a simple anti-missile cannon controller, and have run into an issue when trying to fire the cannon from the script. I am using I:FireWeaponOnSubConstruct() in Update, and the cannon does something odd. It seems to fire, making the sound, particle effect, and even uses shells in the mouse hover info, […]

• Thermobaric/fuel-air explosions January 1, 2019
  So i was thinking of a way to include Thermobaric-esc explosives in ftd, and i came up with the idea of starting with a small explosion, probably no more than 500 damage, then having a gas fill any air gaps it can reach, then having the gas explode similarly to ammo boxes. it would probably […]

• Making The Game Harder on Yourself January 1, 2019
  Do you want more depth and difficulty in your FTD campaign? I made a set of rules (customize them to your liking) that makes the campaign more difficult in the sense of facilities, and research as barriers to rapid build ups and more realism.  This mostly acts as a barrier on magically spawning an army in the […]
