Does anybody else play this? Its an open sandbox warfare game where you build your own ships mostly but you can build subs, planes, helicopters and satellites. Everything is custom built and its really complicated, KSP fans might like it. You make your own custom hulls, guns, missiles, engines, AI to control it all, you make everything really. You then use your creations to fight in the campaign mode. Its an alpha so it crashes sometimes, just save often, but the Dev is very active and its already an incredible game in this state.

This is the first boat I have built that doesn't look like crap. Its no where near finished either but I think when its done it should be able to take on almost anything the initial enemy faction can throw at me. Angry Chickens could be a tough battle though.



You can spawn in enemies to test what you are building which is fun. Look how many missiles are out before the guns have even come around.



I am also building a missile toaster.

Been playing this for a while also, managed to build a ship that can take care of 99% of the first tier of opponents

Lets see some screenshots of your creations.

My current build is a slightly larger version of the last hull with almost the same part count but I can never get two of them into the same battle for some reason.

The new boat will wreck anything the DWG can throw at you. Two Angry Chickens is the hardest battle I have had against them and the boat will eat two for breakfast. It cant handle three though, three Angry Chickens win every time but its not finished yet. I am thinking of making a missile version by removing the two back turrets and adding lots more missiles.







The White Flayers seem to be even easier than the DWG. A single boat will take out a strength 278 fleet with ease.





I am going to stop playing this campaign and actually finish the boat off. The campaign only started as a quick battle test for the boat.

Despite being a KSP player I'm a bit lost in this one! Thought I did well making a raft with an engine and a couple of small cannons on, but pressing a bunch of buttons made an 'easy' enemy appear with a huge gun on it and all my shots just bounced off it.
I'm going to need a bigger boat I guess.

I have done a bit more work on it today and it now has a very potent Laser Anti Missile System and twice as many missiles. Its still just over 10000 blocks so I hope I can get two into a battle at some point.



Funkynige the learning curve is steep on this and its not helped by the game being a bit fussy sometimes. An automated control wont work unless its sitting facing the right direction and the right position next to a weapons controller for example. "Dels Gaming" does some good tutorials on youtube.
