TACHYON edition You play with any mods anons?
>>2297466Speedup and cosmetic paintjobs and I'll penance by glassing Kazeron.
Tangentially related,Falcon (LG) or Falcon (XIV)? And why?
>>2297479Depends on what you want to do with them.
Is there any real benefit to getting >25 relations with a faction? Im on my second playthrough and still doesn't seem worth it, especially with the luddites
>>2297466>You play with any mods anons?152 of them
>>2297519>installing games in %programfiles%I'm surprised you even know what a file is.
>>2297479all of the (LG) variants suck because sindrian didktat is evilt. alex
>>2297540I mean, the d-mod is captures really well how corrupt shitholes (don't) work. A good bit of lore to make sindrian diktat feel more alive.I prefer that kind of worldbuiling to the lame questlines. Show, don't tell.
>>2297559I see.So you did not prepare your sword as a holdout weapon while maneuvering yourself to take over the diktat.
>>2297605I did start taking estrogen while maneuvering to take over the galatia academy.
>>2297605>he took the swordwhy are you gae
>>2297540history will prove the lion of sindria to be a hero
>>2297466>look into starsector once every year or two>does it play any differently yet, is there more to the game than building an uberfleet that wrecks everything with tacked on forgettable features everywhere else>no, that's still the only thing to do in the game
>>2297559It is simply too crippling. The Lion's Guard is a joke and in-universe a few crushing defeats would make even the most dogmatic of factions to revise their doctrine. The sindrian crisis is also a joke, precisely because they send a pure LG fleet, when using the normal non-LG diktat ship lineup would be much more dangerous.
>>2297654its realisticits why i mostly just play starsector as a carrier heavy arma fleet fighting a deathwar against the hiversgive war a chance
>>2297655>the most dogmatic of factions to revise their doctrineSomething something you should read up on ww1
>>2297654Why wouldn't you want to make an uberfleet that wrecks everything?
>>2297666Too dumb to do it :(
>>2297665The tactics at the start of ww1 were as different from its end as the beginning of pike and shot were to the start of ww1.
>>2297671the western empire is relying on the chinese and russians being the same human wave retards with bolt action rifles as they were 50 years ago, don't be rudewhich they mostly are actually, except now they're human waves armed with missiles, nukes, countless drones, and high tech aircraft (in the case of the chinese)
>>2297671Not really. Tanks were just a fancy addition to run forward and hope for the best.
>>2297685you have no clue what you're talking about
>>2297479LGs can be easier to get than regular eagles, more convenient with their in-built solar mod and allow for some very fun if weird builds. XIV is standard eagle but slightly better and harder to get.>>2297671Nice shitpost. When are we getting a new ironically godawful baitship?
>>2297798>t. frog right before getting raped by a german blitzkrieg and praying for daddy america to save him
>>2297654>getting wrecked by spicy cloud rape fleets>getting wrecked by [SUPER ULTRA MEGA REDACTED] rape fleets>getting wrecked by modded rapefleets>getting wrecked by modded secret bossesthere's plenty to do, niggy! chin up
>>2297559Dmod makes zero sense because Phil knows how starships look inside, his tech guys know how to mass produce "new" variants and bulkheads are the most basic bitch mod available to everyone.You could just slap built in but not free reinforced bulkheads on LG stuff to prove that poutine man dummie baddie for wasting precious OPs to save few worthless mulattos.
>>2297615>no swordyou lack the officer spirit
>>2297479LG for memes, XIV for everything else.
>>2297479Basic or (P), lg is fucked and falcon 14 doesn't get enough op or flux for all the speed it gives up.
>>2298098remarkably retarded take
>>2298101If I wanted a slow falcon, I would use an eagle
I tried eradicators, saw the light with the targeting range boost and accelerated feeding hypervelocity/maulers, and then got owned by high tech ships with their difficult to flux damage shields and SRM spam. One step forward, two steps back...
>>2298162Sounds like your kinetic to he ratio is off.
>>2298093You forgot one:
>>2298176so much to learn...
>>2298187>>2298194What are you even getting from pretending to be retarded?
>>2298162>HVD maulerturns out that you can't just bore HT to death
>>2298162Do you stall the fuckers with fighters/monitors? Also, on aggressive, your ships will advance up to the shortest range non missile weapons including PD.
>>2298259>Do you stall the fuckers with fighters/monitors?no, I crawled towards them with 7 eradicators (didn't have DP for more) all with pretty much the same loadout aside from whatever missiles and PD I could find (yes, I realize now that was dumb; I am still learning this game and what ships can/can't do). I feel like I could maybe make some compromises like putting a fighter bay in some of them or seeing if I respec a few of them around the unstable injector, but I just don't think the fleet comp is going to work against larger fleets if I can only field 7 of them (and I assume one more if I capture some of the in-battle objectives). I will try them a bit more to see what I can do, but I feel like I have a better idea as to what the eradicators can and can't do on their own.>Also, on aggressive, your ships will advance up to the shortest range non missile weapons including PD.noted.
>>2297615If you do not feel the desire to be drenched in the blood of your enemies and those that would consider to be enemies in your veins, you have lost your claim to personhood.
>>2297806but anon,ICH BIN DER BLITZKRIEG
>>2298351Settle down troonkler
>>2298358why hasn't erdogan had him executed
>>2298358contrary to you I not only content with my in build package, but happy to the point of smugness.so keep dilating.
>>2298364Because he's a garbageman in germany iirc
>>2298364you send your worst abroad, to weaken whoever is dumb enough to take them in
>>2298370chances are, if you here with a half way stable internet connection and speak somewhat fluent english, your government is part of the crowd that takes the deal and thinks they are smart.
>>2297466Bitch the other thread still isn't in page 11What the FUCK are you fucking doing
>>2297559>A good bit of loreIt's awful. Apparently "exposed conduits running along the passageways" are standard in Starsector ships, and these conduits dissipate flux directly into the passageways. We don't know what specifically flux is or what these conduits do, but these conduits must indeed be very hot to radiate enough heat to noticeably affect flux dissipation, and overheat just because of some paneling. Oh, and crew casualties are randomly increased by 10% somehow, presumably because "passages are a bit narrower".It's a clumsy and unsubtle piece of nonsense.
>>2298187Bruh. >>2298093 are old carousel builds before alex took HEF from eagle(lg). The main battery is optimized around firing one just as the last finishes and you have something in the sleeve to either burst him down or to apply pressure. The neat part is both adaptable to SO or longer range builds and it's AI friendly if you setup the behaviour and weapon groups correctly. You can also get aurora firepower on a less suicidal and cheaper eagle.
Are DEM missiles underrated? They seem quite versatile with good damage per nr of charges/DPS and can target small and large targets alike.
>>2299125They're very good at shitting on smaller ships, not so much at fighting ones of an equal class
>>2299125They're interceptable, expensive, do fuck all damage and have little ammo. So not really.
>>2299125>the only missiles worse than pillums
>>2299130If you have enough clutter going off, stuff like an hydra looks good. But yeah, you need distractions.
>>2299152Or use literally anything else for greater effect
>>2299156Squalls basically.
>>2299162Sure. If a paragon looked at your oldslut wrong you gotta do what you gotta do.
>>2299125Gorgons and Gazers are solid enough, Dragonfires are on the eh side of things.Also what the fuck is this new captcha
>>2299461Dragonfires would be fucking amazing if it wasn't for the pitiful ammo count.
>>2299125my experience is that all the "beam" missiles are great on paper, but if there's any signifincant amount of enemy PD or fighter screens they're going to be wasted.
>>2299464And if they used missile modifiers and triggered instantly and didn't spread damage all over...
>>2299506>And if they used missile modifiersm8 it literally says they do in the description
>>2299461dragonfires are fucking amazing. I've seen these things chase down Radiants going through like three panic skimmings and still hitting.
>>2299543Yeah, meant to write energy instead. Too much shitposting today.
>>2299566HSA on dems would be hilarious
>>2299575wouldn't actually make much of a differencenow, HEF on the other hand...
>>2299575Gives you a reason to use both HSA and DEMs with one simple change? Holy shit, that sounds like a perfectly good idea so alex will never implement it.
>>2299506nah just more ammo is enoughEmergent Threats adds a few ships that have methods to slowly regenerate missile ammo and Dragonfires are kino on them.
>>2297466Haven't played in forever, what's a good starter ship.
