What about when I find frames or incomplete ships lying around - any way I could steal/salvage those?
If they have an intact core and helm and aren't dug into the ground yet you might be able to get a shipyard to tractor beam them by trying to lift the ship.

There will be a future patch to let you salvage those derelicts though.

Fuck you say?
So after painstakingly sailboating my way between islands, I finally approached the knowledge mark to get engines. Landed my craft on a scenic little island that had swarms of manta rays flying around it. These things haven't really bothered me before and are content to derp around doing their best Morrowind cliffracer impression so I didn't think much of it.

I find an abandoned shipyard, claim it, and there's a component creator next to it too. Sure, it's balanced a little precariously towards the edge of a cliff, but I figure physics are on my side and I can probably catch whatever falls off the edge before it vanishes for good.

I'm just about to install my engines - the first one falls off the cliff and I'm too slow to catch it, of course - and the rays start going apeshit. They start bumping me around, I blast them and keep running out of bullets, eventually I have to sandwich myself under the wreckage of another ship just to stop them from taking a chunk out of me.

I finally weld the second engine onto my ship and I'm off! gently caress you, manta rays!

Except they've just formed a gigantic swarm behind me and now the cloud is thick with the fuckers. Screw it, I'm probably faster than them!

I'm not. One of them latches onto the ship and starts eating my personal spawnpoint. No you don't, you bastard! I release the helm, grapple onto the deck, grab my gun and start shooting it in the face!

After a couple of rounds it turns to flee and as it does, it drags me off the ship too. I freak the gently caress out as I'm now flailing around the bottom of the ship, blasting away as my craft continues at full speed without me at the helm. A ray materialises from nowhere and then janks off into nothingness after taking another shot.

I spend the next two minutes desperately trying to rodeo my way back onto my motorised dinghy, physics launching me like a cannon every now and again to remind me that even my own ship hates me. After a torturous couple of attempts, I'm finally back on board and grab the helm.

Something's wrong. The island my ship is heading towards looks horribly familiar.

Due to all my panicked attempts to re-board my ship, the ship has listed to one side and turned 180 degrees to fly right back at Horrible Manta Ray Island. I see the swarms of them in the distance and a cold sweat breaks out. I finally manage to wrestle my ship back into working order, don a new set of underwear, and swear never to return to that godforsaken place.

I've got footage of the whole horrible affair, I'll do something with it tomorrow.

Man US servers feel way more populous than EU. I could fly to a bunch of islands and not see anyone at all on EU, on the US I've had no less than three people run up to me and one dude grapple onto my ship while I was taking off.

He asked if I would take him to the windwall and then fire my cannon so he could grapple to the cannonball and get to T2. I politely declined because A) That sounds like the most improbable bullshit in the world, B) The gun is just for show and has no ammo and C) My ship looks like this:



Yeah that ain't gonna survive a windwall. I then slowly made my way to the next island I wanted to visit and when he went AFK, still grappled to my deck, he got forcibly detached and launched into the sky. Good riddance.

It works and you don't even need to be in the wind wall. Just be next to it at max height, fire your cannon horizontally or maybe a bit elevated (for max distance) so he can grapple a cannonball, and then he's off to hopefully get far enough through to spawn in the next area.

Cannon ammo is also cheap and be made out of whatever.

Works best with high power cannons. I don't know if a t1 would do it as I haven't tried.

Haha well now I feel like a jerk for not believing that guy, and holy poo poo there really are some cool things about the game if cannonball grapples are real. That's crazy. It just sounded so out there that I assumed he was looking for an easy victim.

You should always assume that. In less than 9 hours played I have stolen 2 ships, survived an attack and a boarding attempt.

When I see a person I immediately consider them as a threat. Plus I have found that the best way to harvest resources is to loot them from backpacks.

Pistols are OP as hell.

We sunk a ship last night with me just dangling under it and spinning around while using the pistol to shoot out the engines - 3 of the 4 enemy crew were trying to shoot me but with the speed I moved at and with berries to recover my health they could not hit me - but I had zero issues hitting the massive stationary engines.

Best part of course is that they were super mad.

Game is 10/10.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
If they had used 1 of their crew for repairing instead of shooting you they'd have won eventually.

Seems like they deserved to lose there.

They should have killed me when I casually walked up to their docked ship and grappled on the bottom before our ship started lobbing cannon balls at them but I don't think they had any expectation of being engaged - even though that same ship tried to cannon ball board us earlier.

We freak out and open fire as soon as we see people or ships get anywhere near us - it confuses me when others don't.

It's ok. We will teach them to be paranoid soon enough.

What's the radius like on bombs and how do they work? Remote detonation? How possible would it be to make a ship that's entirely light framework, big engines, and a poo poo ton of placed explosives for some suicidal fun?

timed explosives are placed while you're standing on a solid surface, they have a short timer during which defenders can attempt to pick them up and put them out before they go boom

this game does not yet possess the capacity for demolition ships
