at first i actually thought it was supposed to be inspired from battletech, since one of the clan flagships in battletech is called the dire wolf

Nope, it's actually inspired by the Warhammer 40K ships.

I am not accusing you of anything QuackDuck, I am curious if this is modeled or inspired by one of the Gray Talon airships in From the Depths.

The strange handling is caused by a bug, which should be fixed in the next update. If it still handles strangely after the update, I will most likely make a new version which controls better.

I won't use the EXP gyros because I want my creations to be used by everyone, including players without the R&D DLC.

Is there a way you can make an upgraded version of this? possibly using the experimental gyros, as the the few new updates have tinkered with this ship's handling.

very good

I love this ship so well built... Fun to play

This is what I imagined while reading Mindless's comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBOSkT-7jBE

The only way it can go down without using sneaky build beam getarounds or cheaty teleportation is by sitting for a good minute waiting for your ship to slowly sink. You have given up an entire direction of control, which is NOT good. It gives the enemy tactical advantages and more control over you in combat, something you don't want when your ship completely COMBUSTS when out of power due to incredibly dense high-explosive weapon spam being right next to the batteries. A couple of well-placed surface-to air missiles batteries could take this ship down quite easily. Save the super flotatious hovering for a luxery yacht, not for a warship.

here's the problem with this airship (and it's not as prevalent as the Fenrir so good job); it can't go down. I realise that this thing is an artillery ship, but even then, you can't go downwards which is useful for using your cannons when your missiles are out of range. The best way of going down in this airship is by spam pressing B, which can be a major disadvantage during combat as getting hit by enemy rounds will disengage your build beam, making it hard when you're under a constant rain of fire. The other main way is by pressing the anchor button, which teleports the ship anchored to the ground. This A. doesn't work with all terrains, B. is a cheaty bug, C. may eventaully be fixed, D. won't work if you have loose blocks on your ship from combat damage. However, losing blocks tends to also make the Direwolf fly into the air uncontrollably, turning your beloved artillery cruiser into a rocket ship heading for the TerraTech moon.

WHOA THATS KEWL

ok ill try making one off of an existing tech i have (Please Look At my Hard Work) thank you

Hoverpads use Magic™©® to lift up a tech they are attached to. They will repulse the tech away from the ground, shields, other techs or other objects like wheels on the same tech. They don't have any sort of velocity dampening or anything so expect lots of drifting and bouncing.
The best way to understand how they work would be to try them in game.

I don't understand how hover pads work you have any guides?
It kinda restricts me to making tanks and scouts.

:OOOOOO

good

I would refer you to this guide: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1270697042

how di i spawn it into my world i want it i want to destroy everything

It's a winner! the flight is very smoth, and the fire power is great too,
feels bad for you that I've found some people that published modified version of your work
on steam with out asking your permission : (

To Filip.M.T
have you tried the hoverplate glitch yet,
zero-g airship builds are base on that
look in to that and I'm sure it will open your eyes

i tried makeing a similar ship but i could my get it to lift

sexy ship

Can the hover gyro go at 200mph? I haven't tried it yet.

and my hover gyro 14 can at max speed outrun a missile its a mix between a hovercraft and an aircraft

my hover gyro 14 with a skilled driver given enough time could obliterate this thing and it may be true that it can level a town in one shot but you cant kill what you cant hit.

I tried to make a tech using the hovers bug by taking inspiration from your creation. But since I used another of my tech as a base, it's not great> <
It would have been necessary to replace all the thrusters and the tanks by propellers, but considering the size of the tech ... and it would have been necessary that I opened it ... But I'm too lazy!
So if someone feels the urge to finish it, do not hesitate :D

amazing gunship

Ok
Go on

You should see some of the landships which get posted on the official forums. Now those are true PC melters.

Holy jesus what is that. It's going to melt everyones PCs!

also that was before all the advice

i tried making something based off of it https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198229576844/myworkshopfiles/?appid=285920
it sucks lol

It's a mixture of two battles:
one is the battle between hoverbug VS weight (grounded or flying into space)

the other is the battle between turning appliances, gyroscopes, and batteries (extra power, extra stabilisation, or extra spinn)

In the end, you could get a deadly tech like this, or you could get a complete disaster and waste of credits.

I have a smaller airship here, if you want to take it apart and see what makes it tick: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1413262340

It has HE blocks on the front for balancing, as the rear engines are making it tilt. Hoverbug is in the middle for lift. There are spoilers and rudders for generating lift when moving.

I used hoverbug to make it float, then slowly balanced the airship by shifting and adding/removing weight until it floats stable, then mess with the propellers and gyros to get it flying and turning straight, then adding wings to make it fly stable when going forward. About half of the time I spent making the airship was used for balancing. It also helps that I have over a year of experience building them :P

Generally, I would recommend having a hover in the centre for lift, then balance the airship by shifting the centre of mass around using blocks. Gyros are your friends, along with Venture Zero propellers.

how in the world did you get it to fly so well? id like to build a smaller airship of my own and im confused how you did it

what if we were to call the variable "short"?

then it would be a short amount of time XD

an unknown variable

An amount of time.

I wonder how long it will take for the Maverich to catch up...

I need this it's too great not to have

It could be, since resources on conveyors and silos do tend to slow down the game a lot.

It could actually just be because i usually have a bunch of materials on a single conveyor and they cant get sold fast enough. Not the creations

After a bit of thought, by "vibrating" up and down, do you mean your tech is bouncing up and down, like a bouncy ball? Hover techs tend to do that close to the ground.

It stays in the air using hoverbug, in essence, it is a hover pointing at a wheel to give an infinite force. You can see this hoverbug in the centre of the Dire Wolf, it uses GSO quad hover pads and GSO hub wheels. Then, I slowly balance the tech by adding weight to stop it flying into space and moving weight around to stop it tilting.

I haven't had this "vibration" issue, if you like, you can link me your tech and I'll see what's wrong.

Fantastic tech ! but I can not understand how it works ... how can it stay in the air ? is the combination hover + gyro giving this effect ?
When I try to make techs in the same style (smaller), there are some weird bugs that make my tech "vibrate" up and down ... (sorry, google translate)
