aw ****

HMS Achillies was based off the HMS Ajax of 1880, which was based off the design of the HMS Inflexible of 1876, which is what this ship is based off of, which was uploaded 6 months before Danner's ship

THIS LOOKS SUSPITIOUSLY LIKE THE HMS ACHILLIES BY GBDANER

whoops, didn't realize I severed the steam line to it. Just updated it

the whistle doesn't work, but other than that very cool

yeah, no clue how that's happening

No i was starting the ship up when i entered it and it started killing me

did it happen as the ship was sinking or was it normal operation?

It did start killing me, i'll test it in a private server since it was in a public mp server

not entirely sure how that's even possible...? I'm running the ship rn with a gas meter in it and I don't really see anything out of the ordinary, opened some doors to vent the supposed pressurized gas and while it does go down slightly, it's nowhere near enough for me to be alarmed

The magazine room seems to be pressurized?

It's got a sort of partial armor belt now. It can eat lead for dinner at midships but a few hits to the bow or stern and she's not lasting long

yeah, I explained it in the change notes

The armour is better but it took two hits to the bow and it sank in like a minute, i would say buff it again but its probably easier to just build a new ironclad

The "armor" part if the ship kind of didnt exist

with coal duct weight having been slashed recently, I was able to pile on a bunch more armor so the ship might be even more resilient now (admittedly it was kinda terrible before but now i think it should work better, maybe.)

I remember loading this in a public MP server and somehow winning against gbdanner's titan before it was broken. Shortly after it did sink but it held on for a bit

yeah, it should be back up soon. Not many ships left in my list of builds to fix I'll be getting to this one shortly. Just gotta finish tackling Celtic's revamped switches first

Will this be fixed in the future? I love this ship and the pre-dreadnought battleship era of ships al together.

Not sure how you would go about doing that with something like this but go ahead I suppose

Can i make this into a ocean liner pls

Also They're suppoesed to reach 8 and then stop. If it doesn't blow up, it's fine

Yeah I know, Forgot to set the link to never expire the first time.

Any tips on balancing the boilers? they keep rocketing towards 8 also discord link doesn't work

no i turnd them on

@mcsteve that @meredith999 guy probably forgot to turn the condensers on (rookie mistake)

I've been considering it for a little while, but not yet decided

you should make a discord lol

ok?

I think I have more to learn about armor

why does this sink so easily?

i know but i some times do that with the addon editor so i dont forget how to use it and u have on inf fuel and eltrc

yeah, not sure what your problem could be. I just spent over an hour going from the North Harbor to Etrain Terminal, having infinite electric as well as infinite fuel on partly way through, and also driving through large waves without any problems. Maybe you got a glitched version and need to redownload it?
Also, not sure if you already know, but it doesn't need to be spawned with the addon editor. It's made to fit in the default dock

ok the first explosion happend when i used the mission spawner got 50 yards from the dock then boom the second 2 months later i tried it again then i got 40 or more miles from dock 30 min later booom havent played it again

Just two. Currently starting to sail it around to see if there's a problem with it

i did turn those on how many are there

Sounds like you're forgetting to turn on the condenser pumps perhaps?

ive had the boilers explode more than a couple time while traveling somewhere what am i doing wrong some times the explosion happens immediately orther times it take a while

Well none of the cannons can fire if you don't have the DLC.... so yeah

with the main guns do you need the DLC to make them work?

Ok cool thank you

Increasing pressure won't do anything, but if you check the the valves that control the steam flow into the engines, you should find that two of them (if I remember right) go into a constant number of 0.4 or something like that. You should be able to just bump up the number a bit, as well a fiddling with the gearboxes from the engine to the props a bit and that should increase speed. If it starts eating up steam too quickly, you might have to dig into the boilers and find two microcontrollers labeled either "boiler water regulator" or "full boiler controller". Either way, there should be a slide bar labeled "boil rate". Just crank up the number a bit and that should make it produce steam faster.

This is one of my favorite ships. With a combo of good compartment lay out and bilge pumps she is very hard to sink from damage. I have one question though, I personally up armored her a little which of course slowed her down. Is there a simple way to increase the steam pressure of your boiler designs. Thanks

This is a fantastic ship, could you do one like the Potemkin or another pre-dreadnaught? thanks

nvm

where are the lights

maybe you could make a modern warship because this this one turned out really well.
