>>2147829>playing with modded cheat ships
>>2147829You know what? Starsector could use an alien menace to appear at one point. Preferably if it were connected with the shut down of the gates and reactivating said gates would result in said alien menace to reappear...as a gigantic scout force everyone mistakes for an actual invasion force.BTW FUCK HEGEMONY, FUCK LEAGUE, also FUCK literally everyone who tries to bully my faction.

>>2147829you're a couple hundred posts too early, retard
>>2147829when i get back here i want a modlist that i can enjoy playing this game for once
>>2147829
>go into discord server to search for buckbreakers, can't find it>go to the secondary server, they said it's been posted in the mod update or bootleg update, it's not>google, bing and any of theses retarded browsers returns nothing to my searchWhere can I find the legendary antinoah mod ? While I find it fun to pilot Seeker boss ships and post screens of me raping the edgio I need something even bigger to farm salt
>>2151859Aren't the abyss monsters exactly that? The AI stuff is also alien enough i think. The game doesn't need star wars aliens.
>>2164722OG Buckbreaker here.I let some anon take over adding content and they went crazy as a troon in a playschool full of maga-fanatics, adding anything and everything they could get their hands on. 5.0 is my last good one (6.0 is a legacy-mod consisting of the Daemon Slayer hullmod and nothing else)https://files.catbox.moe/2uc95w.zip
>>2151053Based
>>2164827thanks doc, so it's only shared on an anon to anon logic, it's not hosted anywhere ?
>>2165064Just how naive are you? Use google to find the githhub you dumb nigger.
>>2165067Bro jewgle didn't give me jackshit and I did not have the dev's name to force a specific query, plz no bully
>>2164827>adding anything and everything they could get their hands onNoI only added shit from the buckbreaker mega before some retard got it nukedfound some weapon sprites that aren't being used in sylphon so I'm stealing those and adding it to the next version too>6.0 legacyJust write it as version 1.0 then
>>2165072Hell anon, if there was a real mod or any real effort to develop it here it'd be pinned and shilled and reposted constantly. At best you got a few coopted forks that are as broken and as shit as the original mod they meant to fuck with.
>>2165086One broken mod is annoyingA whole gallery of them is funny because your game become a wushu novel where there's a clash in heaven.There's this one mod called ship/weapon pack I believe who add supercapital class ship that are so borked you can solo entire fleet with them
>>2165094>you can solo entire fleet with themYou can do that already. But I'm not judging or trying to pick a fight with anyone here man but that's just not my cup of tea, not in this game at least. Vanilla is far from perfect but I'd rather tweak or add what I care for myself, for example a new midline capital, instead of piling on more and more and yet more crap on top. Especially since it's became in vogue to have "features" in that are not on the feature/changelist.>wushu novel where there's a clash in heavenFair. But got matchless kung fu and amazing cultivation sim for that lol.
>>2147829>flat shipskill yourself
>>2165097>y. But I'm not judging or trying to pick a fight with anyone here man but that's just not my cup of tea, not in this game at leastThat's perfectly valid bro, I have some friends like that that prefers to stay true to what the dev intended.As long as everybody find their fun, it's what's important. I tend to mod games once I played so much that I want to add more content and see what the community get right and get so, so wrong sometimes. Also grabbing a fleet of vanilla ship to pound some oc donutsteel faction is peak fun>But we got matchless kung fu and amazing cult for thatYea, I've sunk maybe a bit too much time into theses games translated by a gamma core but hey, they are fun for what they are
>>2151053retard
>>2151067The Ziggurat exists in vanilla.And nothing in that mod is as bad as Uhlans
>>2165138take it up with david
>>2164818I don't think most people realize the shrouded dwellers are actually alien, because they are too alien to properly ping as aliens. Or alive.>>2165138Anon, I have bad news for you.
>>2165941>too alien to properly ping as aliens. Or aliveIs that what you call a derivative bugman mod that's mostly ai generated assets?
>>2165949I wonder how the hell did the chinese got into this game. Like is there a chinese Sseth on Weibo or something?
>>2165960Completely irrelevant of the game and forgive me for that but I worked on cruise ships for let's say years. You know what was the ONE constant pretty much anywhere I went offshore? Chinese stores and shops. US, SAM, SAF, EU, UK, Mid east, SEA. Quite literally the same dingy store with the same cheap ass merchandise ranging from AAA batteries and headphones to toilet seats and cutlery. They're like fungus lol, you land on mars and I'll bet you my left nut there's some bald fat bastard slurping noodles at the counter in a shirt three sizes too small while a neurotic fishlady is barking something at him from the isles.

>>2166167I can see you're going to have a field day if I ever get around to finishing related.
>>2166061I'm running RS alongside 100 other mods and it's never crashed the game.In fact the only crash I've ever experienced was when I clicked on paint jobs and I could not replicate the crash.
>>2166184who let mel brooks mod
>>2166194He missed his shot at putting a Death Star of David into Spaceballs and had to find a way to make up for it.
>>2166222As far as kinks go I can name quite a few worse than clang or maids.
>>2165949I see no connection to the post and the one you are quoting.But if you want my opinion, yes this is derivative, as most things are.
Not sure how to make it a carrier without ruining the theme.
>>2165094>One broken mod is annoying>A whole gallery of them is funny because your game become a wushu novel where there's a clash in heaven.Honestly this is the best approach to modding, I think.If you mod your game, go balls to the walls.
>>2166244put a runway on the four side points. this will involve drawing shit yourself.

what is the furthest out in the middle of nowhere in a system have you found a point of interest? the alphasite redacted cache notwithstanding
>>2166249Wouldn't be a problem and I probably wouldn't but it sounds like a structural weakness. And making everything more busy. But you may have something with the second idea.
>>2166294>high tech>structural weakness
>>2166298Well, yeah. I'm thinking this thing can be a high tech legion of sorts.
>>2166298Or even better tweak it a little and have a mid capital carrier. Can already see some mighty awkward large missile mounts.
>>2166305gay
>>2166306Very strange thing to say about one of the few not buttplug shaped ships.
I hate almost all vanilla ships.
>>2166318I hate you.
>>2166318unbased retard
>>2166318You will never be a real spaceship. You have no design philosophy, you have no good spritework, you have no balance. You are an amateur drawing twisted by lack of imagination into a crude mockery of vanilla’s perfection.All the “validation” you get on the forums is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back players mock you. Your parents whom you were shitbashed from are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed hangar doors.Spacers are utterly repulsed by you. Tens of years of modding have allowed spacers to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even shitbashes which “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a spacer. Your hull structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a newbie player to buy you off a spacedock, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a look at your abhorrent, imbalanced stats.You will never be useful. You wrench out a fake smile every single playthrough and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a [THREAT], ready to [INTERDICTORATE PROACT: UNFABRICATE]Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy some fuel, find a black hole, activate emergency burn and plunge yourself into the dark abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
reminder that the dog toy with mismatched colors (odyssey) is a vanilla ship
>>2166393now if only it wasn't a fun vanilla ship
>>2166393Yeah and it deserve to be blown up like in >>2166166
>>2166389You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
>>2165960I think it's just that they're more visible than usual. Any discussion of Starsector is going to be about the mods (and their drama), but there's only so much modding activity going on so people look further afield. There's a lot of Chinese and unlike, say, the Indians, a lot of them have PCs.
Why does combat readiness shit even exist as a mechanic? I can't imagine a single scenario of it working in the player's favor. The only thing it does is punishing the player for trying to make the fleet size sensible and relying on own skill to kill large enemy fleets.
>>2166506It really is annoying. If I'm fighting multiple fleets, I have to constantly retreat and restart the fight to prevent the CR drain. Terrible design.BTW, what do we think of https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=20463.0 ????
>>2166541I'm obligated to call this dev a retarded tranny even if I don't really care about this mod.
>>2166075I was going to berate you for yet another low effort shitpost by making a ship focused on point defense, but then I realized you posted an Anubis.
>>2166591It's a point offence ship.
>>2166075the worst part of this is that I basically copied this design when I tried to come up with one on my own
>>2166506I feel like CR should be reworked to be more like a morale system where, for example, destroying a capital in a cruiser or smaller would result in a big morale boost and make your fleet more confident, while losing a capital is demoralizing to the fleet.
>>2166506It, together with beam no hard flux killed the kiting meta that was cancerous af. It also in theory balances SO and carriers but not really if you know what you're doing.
>>2166700Have you considered putting dual giganiggas, dual HMGs and a wing of flashes on that thing? Top it off with safety overrides and it's golden.
>>2166541>TheDragnfuck this nigger. mods are okay since he pussied out and removed his cancer from them eventually>i won't be removing my crash code!!>caves in not even a month later because no one will download his mod off-forum
>>2166878The drama is the only reason I remember his mods even exist. Apex was just... annoying, whether fighting or using them.>>2166541>Picrel
>>2166389>Your parents whom you were shitbashed fromchuckle
>>2166727Hoonestly, farming the Lion's Guard always feels like bullying a wheelchair cripple out of his lunch money.Sure, you get something out of it, but after a while the lack of challenge or danger makes me feel bad about myself.That said I tend to replace the top PPD with a HIL, as to get the blessed combination of Kinetic and Explosive at 1000 base range, matching with the HVDs and set the Anubis as aggressive escort to a steady Capital that lacks point defense.
>>2166506Threat.I won by attrition and Fabricator malfunction about 40% of the time.That said I hate the Fabricator battles unless I'm flying around in the Ziggy and assassinating the damn cubes.
>>2167051I don't see the problem. And those cannons are really good on anubis.
Do Deamon Slayer hullmod from BB work per ship or per faction?If UAF starts rocking non-UAF ships or pirates start flying UAF equipments for some reason will it still work on them ?
>>2167098Per moan. For maximum effect play one handed.
>>2167098>pirates start flying UAF equipmentshonestly, this always cracks me up and weirdly some variation of it *always* ends up happening no matter if I sell any blueprints on the blackmarket.
>>2167098Per ship, so consider yourself warned.I had to learn the hardway, I was flying around in a snowflake raping fleet after fleet only to end up getting annihilated by a Ludd with a grudge.Ludds will is great, Ludds will is gloriou, and Ludd does not tolerate the abominations.
>>2167139>Per ship, so consider yourself warned.Oh ok so it will fuck up any UAF ship.. Great.
>>2166174funny you mention that.
>>2166710That would just make come backs more difficult and punish beginners more heavily.Lose harder if you are already losing and win harder if you are already winning just isn't a particularly good mechanic.Also the way it's implemented rn means that combat readiness can be spent for abilities and mechanics like threat does, which opens up more space for interesting mechanics. Alex just needs to capitalize on that.
>>2166710>>2167243I find the idea of high morale magically replenishing spent missiles quite hilarious
>toxic 300% hazard planet with no resources has vast ruins>habitable terran 100% hazard planet right next to it has no ruins
>>2167249Sounds like a great place to colonize, just dont go ape shit with building shit on 300% hazard planet.
>>2167249You don't put your factories in the middle of your garden.
>>2167267Says who?
>>2167308>>2167308that is a nice compact build..Man i really need to play Factorio some more, i have full SE/KS2 modpack and i barely scratched the surface in it.
>>2166506>>2167247They should bring out the cut munition ships for very long battles where you can replenish CR by deploying these ships, but that also means they can get destroyed, so they must be protected if you want that CR.
>>2167347Counter argument: how many of your battles are longer than 60 seconds and if so why are you not fielding better fleets?
>>2167367Shroud (fuck abyssal speed effects)Threat (fuck the unit spam)Tripple Ordo (fuck my choices)Basically every colony crisis fleet safe the persean
>Diktat sends a saturation bombing your way the second you start to produce any fuelThe logic behind this?Is this just some heavy-handed Sindria is le bad overreaction? Was the drama that bad.
>>2167659The drama in a cult is always bad.
>>2167659The Diktat's entire existence depends on dominating the fuel market. They would cease to exist if someone could outcompete them.>the second you start to produce any fuelIt's not possible to hit 5 fuel production in vanilla without using story points, items, or administrators. Hitting that number is a significant cause for concern.
>>2167308>ploppablesoulless
>>2167249so it goes
>>2167370Brother you really need to make ships that have more frontloaded damage. Especially kinetic. Those hypervelocity driver and max vents some of you nigs cream over don't have nearly the same punch as say the good old one-two HMGs and assault chainguns.

are performance mods/under the hood stuff still needed since the update?
>>2168031You often trade paint with your astrals?
>>2168067Always
>>2168066no
>>2168137Weird if for real. Haven't heard that one in ages.
>>2168137How does this differ from a regular Astral?
Are we done with the dumb academy storyline? I don't want to see the dykes anymore.
>>2167835I don't like HVDs.I'm a sucker for the Haephestus and Abyssal Glares though.
>>2168236It's orange. Duh.
>>2168254>I don't like HVDs.

The fuck? Why is one cruiser already broken up? Is that some latest update thing, or something in mods did it?
>>2168031>>2168137The worst part about this is that the Hegemony Astral is a thing in lore.
anybody knows what mod this atrocity comes from and where I can get it ?

>>2168818It's perfectly functional. Just go into rapesectors folder, open mod_info.json, and replace 0.97a-RC11 with 0.98a-RC8. I have 98 mods enabled and RS has only ever caused a crash when interacting with the fast rendering mod. Aside from that you can't interact with the second in command officers and that's it.
>>2168818It's still being worked on. The mod author just turned into one of those self absorbed DIscord cunts. Xe spends all xis time jerking off with xis tranny fanboys on xis personnel discord
>>2168844Kek>>2168841Thanks mate
how did a faction with like 2.5 planets manage to spawn a whole sector-wide plague of talmudic robots that outnumber the trinigger remnants by like 2 to 1?
>>2168856what the hell are you talking about
>>2168869My only guess would be a formatting error with the game version since the lines a little offset, is there a space or something before the 0? the whole line is "gameVersion": "0.98a-RC8",As for the fast rendering thing, I'm not really sure how it interacts or what issues it might cause, but it's possible to launch the game with it. It will randomly crash on startup but it will also randomly make it through and seems to work fine but it may or may not break things under the hood.
>>2168880Thanks man, it seems I copied the version number with a space before it. The game launched normally, hope it keeps that spirit.
>>2167924it's an absolute shame what happened to surviving mars
>>2167734You know what, raiding the diktat for the synchrotron should absolutely destabilize it.And the rest of the sector to a lesser extent.

>>2168900If you take it, Chico/Gilead/Kazeron/Jangala go into a permanent fuel shortage.If you then take Nachiketa's, a lot more planets suffer.Then sat bomb Sindria and it gets really bad.But yeah, unique events would be cool. Independents could stop appearing outside of the core worlds, Hegemony could take over Askonia, maybe the Diktat use the planet killer if you gave it to them.
Nice samefag. Now go back to driving that krautland garbagetruck and malting over no one wanting to suffer your shit or your dogshit stolen mods.

why are modding communities such a breeding ground for mental disorders?
>>2169387I'm convinced someone or something cursed Alex with a particularly mentally ill fanbase.
>>2169387Mentally sane and healthy person won't even consider doing the amount of work required to make a proper mod for free. Having severe autism is basically mandatory to be a modder.>>2169409It's nothing remarkable really. It's easier to name games where modding communities AREN'T like this. Factorio is the only one I'm aware about, likely because one needs high-functioning type of autism to be into that.

We can go back to the age of big guns on big warships. Planes will dogfight each other again instead of shooting gay ass missiles from 20km. Tanks won't need to fear drones or ATGMs anymore and become the kings of ground warfare.Bonus: nukes become useless.
>>2169843I kind of wish the game would track some sort of 'notoriety' stat attached to ship classes and/or individual ships so your one of a kind shitmaxxed godship that's been in headlines every other week would be recognizable regardless of your transponder status.

>>2151859I suspect that the Threat will serve that purpose and whatever caused it to go haywire in the abyss, the shrouded dwellers and the gate shutdown are all just symptoms of of the much larger apocalyptic threat that has been brewing under the surface since the moment the Domain started fucking with the gate technology and that we'll probably hear more about in future updatesfor now you can have the hiver faction mod for the encroaching alien menace that everyone must band together to defeat
>>2171017food is preferable if you want to ensure high population growth early and across other colonies.The ideal start here is having 2,5m in the bank, settle, build a waystation with a gamma core, add an alpha to your space port or spend the two story points for additional access, you get a massive boost to income and pop growth from the high access and unless you picked a shitty habital world with 200%+ hazard, which doesn't usually happen with habitable, you can easily get into the double digits of % pop growth, have good stability because you have your food demand supplied and can easily tank freeport with any comm relay.you get luddic majority on the next uptick, add a light industry, upgrade the port and generally you are well into the plus even with hazard pay. by the time you get to size 5 that colony can usually support three others because you can have free port and commercial up and are easily in the +hundreds of thousands of credits with ground defenses, tier 2+ orbital and patrols along with 10 stability and upwards of 160% access even if you settle the fringe.honestly maxing for accessibility and getting +2 from the resolved luddic church crisis alone gets you hilarious income quickly.and the church always seems to be among the easiest of crisis to defeat.>>2171047would honestly make me settle more worlds and quicker>>2171094I honestly hope that Kanta's MO is the result of getting a glimpse of the shitfest and decided to just plunder, murder and hedonism herself into a stupor until the end comes.

Nexerelin was a mistake.
>>2164818Could expand on it further. With Abyss Space Stations and some actual space monsters too.>>2171094Hopefully. And that the Threat will be so damn terrifying that everyone will forget about fighting each other (including the pirates and AIs) and actually try to stop it.
>>2171265Everyone setting aside their differences and fighting the real baddie sounds a little too brighteyed and optimistic for the Persean shithole.>>2171151I really hope the big secret threat isn't just some AI that looked into the gates and went crazy and decided to destroy the domain, that'd be pretty lame. I'm halfway hoping it'll never be truly explained because the mystery at this point is pretty compelling and hard to outdo
>>2171275>Everyone setting aside their differences and fighting the real baddie sounds a little too brighteyed and optimistic for the Persean shithole.Right. Maybe those who actually want to fight it, others would go into hiding, while others will still not stop fighting each other.And it will be up to the player to "persuade" the people in hiding to go and fight (because in the end the Threat will find them sooner than expected) and to beat some sense into factions that are still fighting each other (with copious amounts of violence) and instead go beat the shit out of the Threat.

>>2171954No, the singularities causing them pop out of a much-improved theory and black holes themselves are demonstrable from observations.

Black holes are for vigorous exploration....purely scientifically speaking, of course.
>>2171942Foolish woman, you clearly have no clue as to what you are talking about. The science we discuss is beyond your mind and can only boggle it. But I must me brief and to the point and advise all parties to steer clear of the event horizon, you simply cannot comprehend the other side. My brilliant robot and I returned knowing that one should not.
>>2172084The relativistic approach to gravity corrected for several mismatches between the classical theories and observation while making numerous predictions that turned out true. Yes, it has its own gaps, yes, it's possible the collapse doesn't continue into true singularity, but the math that better explained the orbit of Mercury predicted things that even light couldn't escape and we've found the expected distortion patterns.
>>2172148zesty
I've been trying out Gazers on AI Afflictors/Shades and it's surprisingly effective. The gazer forces the enemy's shields to stay up in a certain direction, making maneuvering around the shield for Antimatter shots a lot easier.

Is there a way to force the AI to vent more? I made a ship that is downright disgusting in my hands but the AI flounders while piloting it because it relies on venting, especially with heavy shield use which the AI loves.
>>2173147advanced gunnery control is basically mandatory to make the ai not retarded
>>2173147From my experience, they won't unless they're out of the enemy's range OR they max out on flux and they're agrresive/don't use shields(there might be more to this, I'm not sure on the details)So you need one of these-a very fast ship that can bob out to vent- the shortest range weapon(excluding PD) needs to outrange the enemy and a steady officer-a cautious officer will just stay out of the enemy range-shield shunt with an aggressive/reckless officerYou can also try throwing a reckless officer on and skip the shield shunt, but I haven't really tested this.
>>2173067tbf, Harbinger could probably do with a buff. Its the phase flagship you use when you can't get a Doom and don't like piloting frigates.Main thing it's got going for it is the massive OP allowance but that's about it.
>>2171203>The core worlds just invade all the derelict worlds.That's the point. It's supposed to be a massive land grab. Derelict colonies only interact with themselves and the player cannot do anything with them besides attack them.
>>2173067loads of variants in the base game that are just plain upgrades>wtf why are you following the game's design style
>>2173563>Hound has a bunch of variants but only Heg and LP matterI should mod the others to be worth using.
>>2173362>Harbinger could probably do with a buffas long as the buff doesn't touch the system I agree>Its the phase flagship you use when you can't get a Doom and don't like piloting frigatesHonestly, I admire people that can fly frigates without constantly overshooting their target like I do. It's just way to hectic.Give me a capital with high maneuverability. Or a cruiser.Talking about, since we have oldslaught for Low Tech and the Ziggurat for high tech, do you think the midline super ship is going to be a cruiser? bc cruiser doctrine super ship seems fitting for midline.>>2173147I've seen this so often. Basically a single change in the AI's behavior would change entire battles from slow grinding to steamrolling.It's absolutely grating. Especially the 'let's attack this enemy one after another even though we both have the eliminate order', Bonus points for when they wait for said enemy to vent before venting themselves.
>>2172137... actually, imagine if every idiot that does bad world building immediately collapses into a black hole on the spot, and, since their mass is so small, said black hole evaporates almost instantaneously.
>>2173575Also every variant of Brawler is trash except for LP.
>>2173362>>2173563Giving large missiles to the ship that can turn off shields is more than a slight upgrade. This is Falcon(P) on steroids and is the most OP thing I've ever seen in any mod.
>>2173600I'd say it's 5/10 on the retardation scale
>>2173600I agree with you.That's why I don't propose missiles as a buff to Harbingers. Problem is, I'm not sure what I'd give them.
>>2173599Every variant of Brawler is beautiful especially vanilla
>>2173628Nothing? Just because you've modded your genitals doesn't mean everything else needs to be troonified.

>>2173603it looks... veiny.
>>2173642You fully dilated yet?
>>2173579>As long as it doesn't touch the system.System's fine, it's the best part of the ship.You'd want whatever you gave it to make it more useful outside of system cooldown or even AI hands. The three front facing mediums on a phase ship is really nice, but unless it's the flagship and you're about to abuse phase anchor, those hardpoints aren't doing much. I always found aux thrusters felt mandatory because of that. Carrierfag in me has bad ideas best ignored for a reason, it's not that great at the non-system thing it wants to do.
>>2167367>how many of your battles are longer than 60 seconds for normal battles its around 5 mins, for larger or more dangerous battles like 10-15 mins>and if so why are you not fielding better fleets?I do minmax my ships, problem is that ship AI is retarded and needs some rough hand handing to guide them to their targets or stop attacking single frigate that is faster than them.
>>2173673That's why you go into battle with a ship that handles the smaller ships. Sometimes you gotta be the fleet escort that your AI comrades refuse to fill.
>>2173660>System's fine, it's the best part of the ship.My point. It rides the fine line between being good to use and interesting to play against. Any buffs and it'd be oppressive in player hands and a reason to rage quit when getting hit by.

What's the deal with abyssal hyperspace?Is it a """natural""" phenomenon and the sector is the sector because it was in a pocket of "normal" hyperspace? Or did the Domain/Omega/Vorlons firewall everything around the sector to prevent something (threat?) from entering?
>>2175170you're leaving the persean arm for volumes that contain fuck-all. drive fields seem to interact with matter or mass somehow so they don't work well out there.
>>2175170Hard to say, but apparently the abyss correlates to intergalactic space including the space between the orion and perseus arm of our galaxy. The reason it's on all sides of the sector is mostly gameplay related.What we do know is, that Hyperspace exerts a certain pressure on the drive bubble of a fleet, which is most intense in abyssal hyperspace. What we can surmise is that this is likely because the game follows the interpretation that gravity is a fairly weak force because it's split across dimensions, given that gravity wells and jump points seem to correlate to the gravitational make up of a given system.What is more interesting, though, is the idea that this seems to dissuade abyssal incursions.
Be honest with me thread, is something wrong with me for hating hellbores?
>>2175170The Abyss surrounding the Sector entirely is more of a gameplay consideration than anything - a pseudo-diegetic way to prevent or dissuade the player from going too far out of bounds.Alex is not-so-coy about whether it's true to lore that the Sector is surrounded by the Abyss (which I take to mean that it isn't, not yet at least):>Also, there is now abyssal hyperspace all around the Sector, beyond the edges of the map. It isn’t necessarily canon that the Sector is surrounded by abyssal hyperspace – the Abyss is canon, of course, but the rest of it is just a more satisfying way of having a map border. Or perhaps more than that? We’ll see.As far as lore goes, it's the space between the Orion (where the solar system is) and Perseus (where the sector is) arms of the Milky Way.My personal pet theory is that the 'density' of hyperspace is in some way inverse to the presence of celestial objects in a given area in proper space (likely tied to gravity)The Sector proper has lots of stars, planets and so on, so the hyperspace is navigable and 'normal', 'deep' hyperspace manifests in areas between star systems, and once you go into the void between the arms, it gets 'abyssal' and it keeps becoming more impenetrable the further you go.

>>2175922OK, then you took a bait worthy build and made it work thru competent piloting and sheer autism. Good job anon.
>>2175858I get it, but I'm not a fan of the hellbore on that build and would prefer an extra devastator but I've got to respect the game you played.Your skills are above my pay grade, good job.
>>2175858You know what, I get the Hellebore now. I rewrote this post like, 4 times, and the more I'm thinking about it, the more sense it makes. The Heavy Mass Drivers elude me though, is it just the better flux/damage compared to the other options?
>>2176141HMD are simply overpowered and outperform all other kinetics in most situations>but they're expensiveand cheap on flux. worst case you drop vents and they're still an upgrade.
>>2176141Not only are they efficient flux/damage, they also have perfect accuracy which makes their seemingly lower dps on paper better in practice, and they do 200 damage which significantly improve their damage against hull and low armor targets.
>>2176141I'll personally take a needler over any autocannon any day every day but HMDs are quite good for what they are. Sucks their OP got increased.

>>2176154>>2176161>>2176233Thank you anons, I am now hunting Threats in my current save.
>>2176154actually, them being expensive is a boon indisguise, because if you're minmaxing for flux venting, it makes ordinance experience better, which doubles on ships with safety overrides. In fact on SO ships with ordinance expertise the HMD has a total damage to flux ratio below 0.5.
Does anyone have a version or fork of the forum's UC Gundam mod that works for current version?Also poast flagships
>>2176457Sure but why would you want them over HMGs on SO ships to begin with?
>>2176560less of an actual point and more of a statement that the weapon approaches d/f levels usually reserved for fragmentation damage.i.e. making the math graspable for the brainlets.
>>2176664You ivory tower intellectuals must not lose touch with the world of industrial growth and hard currency. It is all very well and good to pursue these high-minded scientific theories, but research grants are expensive.

>>2176673>industrial growth>profitable applicationsA rogue AI has been discovered, grab the hammers!
>>2175858This isn't the same build you posted last time. Definitely an improvement over the last one. I'd probably downgrade the dual lmg to regular lmg and raise your flux caps tbqh(to be quite honest) familia.Your gorgons seem to be underperforming. 30 OP for expanded missile racks seems like a huge waste considering what you're getting out of it.
