I'm trying to recreate some of the ships that took part into the battle of Tsushima, starting with the Emperor Alexander II. Your use of the mimics and overall hull shape helps and learned me massively, it's not much I know but still, thanks.

@03k Maus, this craft was loosely based off the Russian gunboat Gilyak.

I really like this! What reference pictures did you use to make this? I'm wanting to make ships of this type for a campaign, and this is basically the style I'm going for.

Thank you for your kind words all, no idea how this craft suddenly sprung into popularity, but it has enticed me to get back into FtD and update my crafts for the recent updates; I left for a month or so for work and new games.

@stoicboss101, yes I'm building my fleet between the ironclad (1860) and dreadnought era (1906)

it looks like you designed it during the "ironclad" era. was that the intention?

Gosh, I wish I had those skills...

Question: Where are the mimic blocks for the smoke stacks?

@Nikolai, I have updated the blueprint file. I have lowered the CoM, also replaced the heavy barrels with normal ones. This shaved off a lot of resources so I've pretty much doubled the amount of repair bots. Tested in waves (wave factor 1.0), and no longer flips.

@Nikolai, I'll have a look into that; roll PIDs might not have enough gain as CoM is pretty low. Are you on Stable or APS devtest?

Ive noticed that the boat tends to capsize with only small waves
I guess thats something to work on:summer2019corgi:
