This is the Martyr of the Path.Terran Worlds and 14th Battlegroup wrecks will come to you, but only if you post "Blessings of Ludd be upon you" in this thread.
alex update this dead fucking game right now!!!
>>2456388[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]Blessings of Ludd be upon you[END TRANSMISSION]
Patch never.

I've been stripping out mechs from a chinese mod that got a translation so its just an addon for moci basicallyits been a pain in the ass so im just stopping after getting the three I mainly wanted (woundwort, barzam, and rehaze/rehyze)i gave the woundwort the backpack skin tho which i think is neat
Blade Breakers
Jesus Christ Alex, where is the update?
>>2456388sometimes I forget how small this game's community is
alex just drop the update now instead of trying to bundle it with your autism mode, fucking hell
Alex, it's time. Release it!
>>2456578Everyone loves the Swordfish.
>the player ship is larger than cruisersYou didn't beat the game
>>2456613>>2456693>>2456699I delegated updates to modders. Now sign up to my patreon
>the suspiciously tagged "hint"
Starsector was feature-complete in .97 we’re just waiting on the writer who is a lazy fuck in need of a whipping, then we can call it 1.0 and Mosolov can retire to modding like Sawyer and Romero and Tarpini.
dead game
can i make a variant file of modules to have different weapon slots but they're built in?I've tried but they wont show up at allor am i forced to just have multiple modules for each loadout in the ship data
>>2457225the .variant file just says what guns (or for modules, what variant) go in which slots, not what the slots are.if you want to get fancy either make a hullmod with custom behavior or make a bunch of hulls/skins.
i bought this game at the start of the year thinking it was about ready to releasewhen is 1.0 coming? can i sue the devnigger for being a hueg faggot who will never release his game?
>>2457382you can sue anyone for anything and the judge will be happy to get paid 1k/h call you a gay retard
wish there was a mod that did vanilla portraits in the style of uaf just to have everything look the samethats one main drawback of having multiple faction mods, all the damn portraits being so different in how they look
UNF MY STARSECTOR
>>2457416>wish there was a mod that did vanilla portraits in the style of uaf Why would you want that? eewww *vomits*
>>2456388Oi, I know you people are averse to checking the trannycords, but someone made a program that converts Starsector and the mods' PNGs to DDS files. It reduces the use of VRAM by nearly 80%, at the cost of bigger files. Anyone checked it out yet? Do the altered textures work with Fast Rendering? Wanna know cuz I haven't been able to play the game in over 3 years. https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=35788.0
>>2457457cause i like anime
Apparently Alex is considering releasing an anime loli portraits DLC for all vanilla content. Thoughts?
>>2457475He should wait until the full release. Adding DLC/expansions before the game is considered finished enough won't end well. ARK did it, and people rightfully tore its studios a new one for that.
is second in command good
>>2457507It is, although it will make you too strong if you use it in certain ways.
Patch?
Still waiting till someone makes Starsexer+Highfleet but good
>>2457507I like it. Most of the executive officers are pretty balanced except for technical and warfare (in no situation is it bad to take either of these). There’s a surprising amount of cross mod support like sotf and jaydeepiracy adding one or more executive officers, not mentioning standalone mods that just add more executive officers.
is there any mod at all to control the weapons on a ship module?
>S modded blast doors>Reinforced HullSo much fun
>>2458030This would be a perfect mouse cursor.
>>2458030Imagine if she sat on your face
i wish there were more mech mods in the style of armaa both visually and gameplay wise just so i can stick to a vanilla+ aesthetic
>>2458211i share your pain, man.
>>2458211>mechs>vanilla+lolpersonally I prefer the k-on portrait pack for my true, authentic vanilla-like experience.
Have they added amazonian pirate catgirls that board your ship and rape your crew yet?
Yep time to space truck

no update?
Looks like we are bored out of our mind. Quick, throw some ideas around.
>go to the boonies for the entire summer with my craptop in tow>anticipate being able to spend 3 months playing with the new update unmolested>2 months later, no update in sight because Alex is busy with the autism modethis is bullshit
>>2458405DBM - Direct Ballistic MissileAn assault chain gun attaches to a missile. It flanks the target and fires a HE barrage from range.
>>2458122I’m sure I’ve seen a mod for that.
>>2458409That is too fun. No more than double small mortars.
Scuttlebutt says that the next update, even though story heavy, is going to have some critical game file changes that break a whole lot of mods. How long will it take for all the big mods get patched? Weeks? Months? Soon™+2 weeks?
>>2458517Neva for lil gois. You is a fina use a discord for bootleg rite and das.
>>2458517i'm already pretty eh on updating my shit since alex is going nowhere slow. but i suppose hitting ctrl-enter to update some class signatures isn't too bothersome.

>>2458597mocis got something like thatthough the current version doesnt have the gun usable yet
>>2458600link? i can't find it on the forum or trios
>>2458607ah right yeah its only on the discord unfortunatelyheres a mediafire link for it, you'll prob need the usual requirements for things and box utilhttps://www.mediafire.com/file/5xaiccjsu31ucq3/Moci%2527s_Casual_Collection_2.2.5b_%25281%2529.rar/fileits mainly a gundam heavy mod also so theres plenty of that, but its got a mix of random ships as well as the yamato stuff
>>2456388her womb will be turned into antimatter blast
>>2458600Can you actually find the other Yamato's in game or are they spawn only? The only one I ever found is the derelict guarded in that one old nebula with the gacha.
>>2458624i got no idea honestly, i havent managed tohonestly a lot of the set up is a bit haphazard along with the gacha, thankfully i think the next update they're gonna do away with it for proper factions and shit but i could be wrong
finally getting around to picking the game up. any tips for a newbie?

>>2458597Buckbreaker has a Yamato of its own now
I'd really like to try Buckbreaker, but I don't like OP ships. Does Buckbreaker have ships that completely break the game?
>>2457538nexerelin already did this
>>2459125Does the pope shit in the woods?
>>2459125he's atrocious at balance and takes feedback poorly
>>2459125>Does Buckbreaker have ships that completely break the game?Short answer, no.Long answer, BB is relatively balanced as far as mods go. However, it does come with a hull mod that allows to complete r*pe ships from a few specific mods. Those ships/mods are generally considered game breaking and overpowered, if you don't run those mods you won't notice anything spectacular.
>>2459180According to you, everybody takes feedback poorly. Have you considered that maybe the problem is you.
>>2459125It's balanced against vanillaIf you have no problems against Remnants then Buckbreakers aren't much of a difference when fighting against themBut against other mod ships they'll 1 shot you if you use specific modsor you 1shot those specific mods if you use buckbreaker ships against those
I was unable to find a 0.98 compatible version for Buckbreakers, could i dirty edit a .96 one?
>>2459186no, i don't say that and i don't think that. i was specific for a reason.
Wish Xhan was still alive.
>>2459317>the ship on the left can hold 500,000,000 units of cargo>this is somehow balanced
>>2459357I like how even its large mounts can't cover it's back, so a single frigate could sneak back to it's thrusters and blow up your 5 quintillion credits investment.
>>2459317Damn that's a big ship.That's also a lot of mounts.Does it have a burn drive? Tell me it has a burn drive.
Just finished the tutorial missions. All I can find are bounty jobs, should I be doing those, or are there other jobs that I'm not finding quite yet?
>>2459393hang out in your space suit outside stations
>>2459393Bounties are good for farming up weapons and ships you might be interested in collecting, but there are more efficient ways of making money, such as trade contracts and survey missions.Remember to always try to make the most of your fleet and to try avoiding having a fleet bigger than one you require. Unnecessary ships and crew/marines/officers will eat into your resources and your profits.
>>2459393Bounty missions can be very easy or completely impossible for an early game fleet. The pay will roughly tell you if it's in your ballpark, around 100k is worth looking at. If they have more or larger ships than you it's usually not worth it.Bars will have a couple missions that may or may not be possible. If you get a contact, usually through a bar mission, they can also offer you decent missions. You could also just do your own thing. Space trucking is very profitable, as is exploration if you can afford to actually carry all that you find.
>>2456578brave blade my beloved>>2458597one of the IBB does have the yamato, but it requires Interstellar Imperium I believe
>>2458752Nothing stops you from making the ol' fish standalone.
>>2459226different anon, which mods does Buckbreakers counter? There's a bunch of mods I ignore because of well known powercreep and/or hidden nerfs to other mods because of unchecked egos. What I really want are no-cost hullmods that give the middle finger to all the stupid bullshit.
>>2459609NTA but i believe it specifically counters stuff from Nia Tahl mods, like the Legio Infernalis.
I'm torn between wanting the update to come out, and the update never coming out. I don';t want to deal with my mods being left in the dust. And if >>2458517 isn't lying through his teeth, then a simple change in the config file won't do it.
>>2459609Any mod with anime girl portraits.

>>2459723there's like a billion lmao frigate fighters in da mods they're also all shit lmao
>>2459723This but the frigates also launch fighters
>>2459755>Carrier that launches frigates that launch fightersHow about a missile that splits into more missiles, that split into more missiles, that splits in to more missiles in perpetuity... I call it the frame-killer.Every one of those dots you see is missile ready to split.
The Arma Armatura cunts nerfed the Aleste. I'm angry.
>>2459723there was a mod that let you make wing lpcs out of a frigate with a hullmoddont remember what its called or if its even around anymorewas neat
>>2459681I suggest waiting for your balls to drop and investing into an actual microphone that isn't just a tin can on a piece of string before you start recording your voice and shilling your vids here.
i wanna make a sub mod for arma to basically add in the gespenst series from srw and maybe the derivative like alteisen and weissritter but im way too lazywould probably just edit the valkazard base or the transforming one without the transforming
>>2459681>Clitty leak for 40 minute straight over some fat brown Malay tranime modLater is pathetic enough but you manage to aim even lower>shit on UAF>shill a furfag mod insteadVentilate your skull poste haste
>>2459775aleste's just kinda suck all around if I'm honestthey don't have the weapon slots and flux to really brawl with other ships and have to rely on their swords to dish out real damage, problem is that relying on their swords means that they'll have to go into melee range which ends up with them blocking the firing lines of your other ships while they are forced to endure everything their enemy spits out. it's even worse if they pull themselves in with their harpoon.i never really use them, I'd rather have vx customs built for support or SO
>>2459768maybe you could look into missiles that spit out a few more missiles during their flight
>>2459843I made a fleet of mostly Aleste's with 2 reaper missiles, a beam cannon, and a wingscom built in with two more Alestes with defensive array. Could consistently 1v1 a capital ship. Given that they're shit in any other configuration I was kind of hoping they'd avoid getting nerfed. But I guess they made it so you can get an army of Valken III's now.
>>2459698>>2459829>>2459832t. Buckbroken UAFaggots
I do not understand the appeal of UAF. It does everything poorly. Explain yourselves UAFaggots.
>>2459980>Explain yourselves UAFaggots.I'm brown and wish to rape all the women (which I do)
>>2459860>wingscom built in with two more Alestesdoesn't WINGCOM only add a single fighter bay?
>>2459980It's the magnum opus of starsector modding and it makes anti-anime redditor newfags seethe.
>>2459681you are a gigantic flaming homosexual for giving it more traction, dumb nigger
>>2460027The mod has more downloads than this dude has views across all his videos combined lol what is this copium?

seriously what's taking alex so long? a few months ago extended mode was already in a state where he was actively testing it while posting previews of conclusion of the Usurpers questline.it's been 4 months since he posted the patch notes for the next update, what the hell is he working on?
>>2460161He's waiting for permission to push to release from the modding teams on the (un)official discord who are currently working on compatibility patches for their mods.
>>2456388Is there a mod to remove all the female Admin, pilots, etc?
>>2460181unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if this was truediscord is a plague
>>2460189It makes sense for him to do so considering he himself has been doing fuckall in germs of finishing the game and like half the content of his meager biannual content updates is just fan mods pushed to main. Only natural he's their bitch now.
>>2460187There was/is BitchesLeave, it stopped npc females spawing as captains. Doesn't work for custom characters though. You might have to fudge it to get it working with the latest version of the game though, it hasn't been updated in a while.
>>2459980The base ships are decently balanced and have some neat tactical/loadout limitations that makes them fun to build. I am particularly fond of that one heavy cruiser that has most of it's firepower in side-mounted barbettes that juuuuust have enough arc to have convergence to the front sometimes. It's also nice to use fighters which aren't designed by SOMEONE so buck-broken and vengeful over the drover meta that every fighter he makes is ass and if one survives the buck-breaking it's nerfed next patch. Although the fighters are hit or miss with he balancing.But the hyperfixation the mod has with supercapitals and battle-carriers is gay and boring and I would much rather them have only carrier capitals and get nothing bigger than a heavy cruiser for ships of the line. And the anime portraits and lore is extremely fucking annoying but these are the people bankrolling the dev so that's what he makes, sucks.
>>2460187Why would you want to do that when you can run rapesector instead?
>>2459980People like tranime slop, unfortunately. Real OGs and chads use the Star Federation. Bonus points if they daisy chain their starsector playthrough with a playthrough of FTL, and then roleplaying that they stole the federation flagship after defeating it.
Extended Mode looks like my cup of tea since I already started to experiment with self imposed limits in my playthroughs, but the retirement around 25 cycles in seems silly. I mean I understand the idea behind it, but also fear the execution, that at some point I will just be forced to end my playthrough.
>>2460013Aleste fighters come in pairs. Now they come in singles since the update basically making that path useless. They also made it less speedy so it can't just get directly behind an enemy and blow out their asses.
>>2460367I'd probably turn that off, honestly. It doesn't feel immersive to constantly have to fuck around with my build, especially when that's a good chunk of my fleet's power. At least give us something to compensate like legacy powerups or ship reputations like that one mod.
>>2460367it's nerfed to be a pure triviality (lest it upset the spergs) long before release m8
the longest save i've ever had was like 8 cycles. what the fuck do you even do
>>2460367I've never had a run get to cycle 215 so I don't really care
>not finishing all content by cycle 208fucking normalfags
>>2460442Colony bullshit will eat up a lot of time if you let it, especially if you heavily develop/terraform some. My last save went like 30 cycles because I terraformed a system then went back to Arma Armatura's Meshan to terraform that as like an rp goal since I did an MRC start.
>>2460454i don't even start until around 220
>>2460367Don't worry, the patch is never coming out.
What's the best way to mod the automated ship cap? I like having automated ships but with so many faction mods and larger battles, having just two at relatively low CR is not worth the perk
>>2460442>what the fuck do you even doFly around and blow up fleets duh
>>2460648>having automated ships but with so many faction mods...This is your problem, modslop. There's so many poorly-written snowflake factions out there utilizing AI cores it makes you wonder how the Hegemony ever won!
>>2460670Many onsluts were lost purging the sector
>>2458405>Quick, throw some ideas around.Space iPhone. Partially ripped from a forum suggestion.Convoluted naming scheme*Slightly better performance than the previous generationTwice the price of the the previous generation (gotta have the latest model™)Gotta buy in to further TT services (EBC) to get the full benefitsDescription and underlying code written with aide of AI (a first for me)It also has a 'hidden' benefit of not slowing down when firing***The temptation is to put the full name in the card title.**Technically it has NO_TURN_RATE_BOOST_WHEN_IDLE but the default speed is the otherwise boosted speed.Any thoughts?
Is there an up to date version of the UNSC mod of Applemarine?
>>2460751Still work fine for me, you have to check in the forum thread for the latest version just change the file to 0.98. But the mod isn't kept updated anymore.
Someone make a new faction called Orange who only sells one ship, which is expensive as fuck and decent enough. But every time you buy one the faction comes out with a "newer" version that has slightly better stats.
>>2460937make it so pathers and pirates can have versions that are always 5+ behind the current one
>>2460937Also have them "slow down" and lower their flux dissipation as they get older. And, of course, the player is not made aware of this feature...
>>2460937And also do something so I stop craving cock

Do I need reinforced bulkheads or is hull restoration enough to guarantee I can recover lost ships?
>>2461541You may want both. Reinforced Bulkheads is good because it also gives you a nice hull bonus to tank some more damage.
>>2461541I have lost officer commanded ships with hull restoration before, but I don't know if that was just a bug with the code as there's a hard capped limit to how many ships are recoverable or if there's a slim chance that they can be lost anyway.
>>2456504Where can I find this mod
Hey Alex Release The Update You Fucking Mongrel
>>2461541I have literally never used either and have never had a single ship of my own I couldn't salvage post-combat after over a thousand hours of gameplay.
>>2461636>but I don't know if that was just a bug with the code as there's a hard capped limit to how many ships are recoverableWtf are you losing like 20+ ships per battle?
>>2461746probably on the discord
>>2461816The last time it happened I only lost 5 ships that battle and only 3 were recoverable despite hull restoration+officer. But I do run the npc smods mod and the recovery screen is almost always full against any non pirate/pather so that might cause some funky interactions.
>>2461847Sounds probable. I've never been unable to recover a ship of mine, because I always take hull restoration.
>>2461772yeah, that is how rng works
>>2461893No it isn't.
>>2461898Wrong.
>>2461900Dilate, incel.
>>2461375kino that I will read exactly one time when I'm bored
Fucking Persean niggers are blockading my colony, fuck this grand fleet with billion capitals
>>2459393Once you have a few cruisers you can murder trade convoys and sell the recovered commodities at an inflated rate.
>>2456388If i am playing purely vanilla do i need any bugfixing/performance mod? i heard the game has memory leak issues or something?
>>2462296>do i need any bugfixing/performance mod?no
>>2462296>playing without 8x speed upIt's your time.
>>2462241You can’t attack them tho that’ll mean you fired the first shot and started the war so you’re the bad guy in the history books even though they’re the ones camping on your turf. And if you start winning the war Gens Harmon will make up some bullshit about fighting to free your slaves and that the war was totes always about slavery and not about coercing you into the union I mean league, and all the other factions will embargo you.
>>2462296>>2462304I think you SHOULD play with vanilla speed-up settings at least once. When you don't know all the events and quests by heart i feel it really adds to the experience and makes the sector feel larger
>>2461758Game is almost-unironically abandonware at this point
>>2462307Meh I never gave a fuck about any of that. I have 0 vanilla hourd and I've never done any of the "quests" or "events" in this game besides returning the academy core a few times.
>>2462304I dont really value it desu
So, would you imagine living in a spaceship is better than actual sea ships/submarines or worse?
FUCK HEGEMONY
>>2462352Yeah fuck hegemony women
Selkie status?
I love low tech
>>2462393yet all your frigates are high tech, curious
>>2462401Proof?
>>2462296>If i am playing purely vanilla do i need any bugfixing/performance mod?Maybe, if you're running this on a TI-82.>i heard the game has memory leak issues or something?The games stable, mods are your problem. The reality is most modders don't know how to fix memory leaks which is why they try and make it a user issue it by telling them they need to increase their RAM and/or restart periodically.As rule, most vanilla compatible mods, provided they're not heavily scripted, are fine. Tes using lazyLib are relatively leak-free (but not unheard of). Once you get into graphicsLib and magicLib and the more esoteric libraries you'll encounter them.
>>2462401Frigates? What are those? A new fighter type for my legion?
>>2462401vanguard is really good>vanguard is getting buffedalex pls
>>2462296>i heard the game has memory leak issues or something?alex finally moving to a version of java that's no longer old enough to drink fixed that. yeah it was his fault all along.
>>2462462I like those, too. I use lashers as well but I think they're so suicidal. Sometimes the AI just has complete retard moments so I try not to blame specific ships too much but it's frustrating when it's the same ships with different loadouts deciding yeah I'm going to fly head on at this eradicator and die. I just give them all hull restoration so I don't have to worry about them dying.
>>2462306Then I just keep sat bombing them until they stop. Be the monster they portray you to be.
>>2461838What server?
>>2462624Ask in the chat on the USC "RSecMagellan0.98a"
>>2462685I got banned what the fuuuuck doooooood
>>2462624>>2462736heres just a catbox of ithttps://files.catbox.moe/uwf36h.rartheres also the other server corvusyou can prob find a link through googlin "corvus server starsector"
>>2462474I like Lashers as well. Problem is that they're just a little too slow for a frigate.
>>2462769It would help a lot if Unstable Injector wasn’t overpriced and terrible. Most ships that could use the speed boost don’t have the op to spare and can’t really cope with the range loss.
>>2461772I just had one I couldn't salvage with hull restoration
>>2462310Sounds like you got raped by the zig pretty hardis your ass still hurting after all these years?
>>2462354RapedGapedand Pit Sex Slaved
>>2463008Wrong.
>>2463008Because you retreated.
We are now at one update a year, and its closure to the worst written story in the game.
>>2463425We've been at 1 update a year for a while, I don't know what you expected that this is shocking for you.What is new is the time between patch notes and the release, which became the longest ever a while ago and only keeps getting longer.Supposedly because beta-testing the Diktat storyline is taking ages because of how many branching paths there are, but I am sure Alex's retarded insistence on tacking more things onto the patch that then need to be re-tested again is not helping matters. And I think the Diktat storyline is good, far from the worst in the game. I would give that award to the princess of persea which is a total fucking nothing-burger and all setup with no payoff. The only issues with the Diktat storyline are that it's unfinished, the fact that it hands an auto-win to Macario during the initial safehouse raid with no recourse from the player, despite him most likely having his own intelligence apparatus and supporting assets if you start it as a faction leader. But that's an issue endemic to all quests in the game because despite colony management making up half of the gameplay, David is allergic to actually writing consequences and implications of running a de-facto major power into the plot leading to a insane level of ludo-narrative dissonance.
>>2463464Look, I just wanna know what the fuck is going on and punch phase niggers in the face already.
>>2463425What do you mean? Galatia academy storyline is already finished.
>>2463636There's still the hunting the lesbians and killing them plus finding a way to power the gates so you don't eat 1000000 antimatter fuel just to open a one way tripThere's also the fact you're the only one that has a Janus Device to even USE a gate
>>2463464But you don’t start as a faction leader. But you do have your own secret gadgets and elite marines. But you’re going up against a major power whose intelligence agency has decades of experience fighting internal power struggles and you’re on their home turf. Macario seeing up your sleeves is what you should expect.
>>2463656>and killing themoh you incorrigible optimist
trying to make some not-gespensts through kitbashing and editing arma stuff
>>2463710i just gotta figure out what gun sprite ill use and the legsi was probably just gonna edit the leynos legs since they're similarily chunky as the gespensts
>>2463656Hate to break it to you, but this isn't that kind of game. They got away, and there's not a thing John Starsector can do about it.Bad guys win all the time in this universe. You just have to accept that.
>>2463464>the fact that it hands an auto-win to Macario during the initial safehouse raid with no recourse from the player, despite him most likely having his own intelligence apparatus and supporting assets if you start it as a faction leader.I mean, you are in diktat territory in what I can only assume to be a heavily monitored and bugged "safehouse" while at least trying to pretend like you are there for a secret meeting. There's really not much you could do.

Alex you're fucking retarded
How we looking boys?
>>2463925What's the thought process here? Aggressive Ion Beam?seems kinda fine at a first glance though flux cost being the same as two ion beams seems a bit steep
>>2463927its not a beamits basically ion pulser but retarded
>>2463925looks like shit ngl
>>2463936true...
Didn't know Starsector had a place in 4chan. Got a question, does anyone know where I could find an old version of BigBean's Ship Collection, cuz I'm looking for the Venator, but BigBeans literally wipe it from existence, leaving only the sprite in Spiral Arms.
>>2463972>nothing in the d*scord>waybackmachine doesn't work because the files were on googlenothing you can do outside of maybe asking the dev himself, unless someone happens to have an earlier version on their PC
opinion on ashes of dominion? worth installing?
Alex...
>>2464049that's a fat crow
>>2464042If you're talking about Ashes of the Domain, I have fun with it, but be wary that it can complicate alot of things you take for granted, like colony management.Worth it if you're autistic about things like manually creating your own patrol fleets and customizing how industries work.
>>2464042Incredibly bloated but I still run it
>>2463972There's two modpack that add faction with venators as midline ship, they are not on the index and I don't remember their names. You'd have too dig the modding section of the forum, but they are up to date
>>2463927>What's the thought process here? Aggressive Ion Beam?I was thinking more long range ion cannon. Figure if someone's gonna slap on a rotating barrel and turn the ion cannon into a minigun, someone else would try and turn it into a 'sniper'.Slapped on the new shield piercing from the maiden missile (50% chance that scales to 100% with enemy flux).I just find 400/200EMP feels weak, upped it to 500/250 and increase charge time to 0.9 and it feels more in keeping with the intent and brings the flux cost down to a more reasonable 200fps
ALEX = SHITLER
is piloting doom considered cheating?
>>2464233Piloting ANY phase ship is considered cheating.
>>2464236so over...
>>2464233It sure feels like cheating
>>2463856>>2463902Based.I like it the more OP they are, because that makes their OCs deserve the rape more when they get smacked by my low tech fleet.
>>2464236Even a d-modded gremlin?
>>2464390You can solo battlestations with those.
>>2464122I know 1 is the Fringe Defence Something... and those ships look sick, but the venator styled ships didn't have the middle hangar. I think I'm going to have to ask BigBeans at least for the dammed bounds and measurements.
Someones gonna get booty blasted...Fortunately those missiles are all composites so you can spec. it for direct engagements.
What killed the Domain? People argue between the Threats and the Shroud, but since Alex is a hack it's going to be neither, do you guys have any schizo theory to share?
>>2464466The domain is alive and well. The Persean sector is a eugenics program.While the Threat and the Shroud do not present a risk to the domain, however they are a growing threat. The Shroud are breaching our reality on an ever more frequent basis and the Threat, by virtue of their insatiable replication. The problem is Mankind has grown complacent on the teat of the Domain, there is no unified directive across the stars with each system expecting another to handle any issues that arise. Everyone is a bystander.By thrusting all the undesirables into a single sector and manufacturing hostilities they are breeding out that complacency and passiveness. The end goal is for those that remain to gain enough self-awareness to take on the Threat and Shroud, then once the localized threat is defeated, reintegrate them in to the wider domain as a weapon of war against existential threats. And if they happen to rape pillage and plunder a few worlds in the process, that's acceptable, a few worlds measured against the countless stars the domain controls is no price at all.
>>2464459Why does it still have energy smallschange them all to ballistic
>>2464466It wouldn't have ever been either.The threat isn't even a threat to the persean sector, at least currently, because they cannot access hyperspace and don't have a drive capable of reasonably traveling without it, and that's 200 years after the fall. The shroud has also never shown any interest in leaving the abyss even though they are sitting in hyperspace and are either intentionally or unintentionally setting traps for explorers. If they were capable of destroying the domain the persean sector would not be capable of resisting them either so they have no reason to stay in the abyss.The third option is the most likely answer. The currently unknown entities behind the song. The ones we hear from the gates. We don't really have much to go on there besides that it's very likely related to phase space, the motes, and the "sensor ghosts". AI hates them and the Ziggurat is currently the only way they've physically interacted with the sector, not for lack of trying if they are actually the "sensor ghosts".
>>2464233>actually piloting a ship instead of using a carrier as a command ship and sending your fleet to do battle
>>2464477>change them all to ballisticThere's a loose philosophy to each factions ships design, for the KoC military ships:Smalls are a mix of Ballistic and Energy (Balls in defensive placements, Energy in offensive)Missiles become composites.Keep the large(st) Energy as the primary weapon.Gotta wing-it with synergys and the Oddy has a lot of them. Tempted to keep the broadside all large enemy but composite means it can act as missile support (and in this layout it doesn't have the convergence to turn into an alpha-strike torpedo-barge).
>>2464459Kerblaster, Railgun, Front Shield, whole shitload of Locusts and Breaches, done.
>>2464524>whole shitload of Locusts and BreachesAssuming you mean 2xBreach 2xLocust, that doesn't leave room for a railgun.
>>2464527Ignore my strawberryism, thought you meant HvDriver. Chucked an autopluse in the large.E
>>2464466Either current Shroud is a small part of a greater entity that is fucking with the sector and yet to be fully revealed OR the gate bug demons are a separate shroud-like faction that haven't been fully revealed. I'd like bug demons because giving the guardian and the ziggurat (two of the strongest vanilla ships) both organic designs and blatant bug eyes then not utilizing that motif more would be weird. Ziggy resembles Shroud to a degree, but Shroud are more like blobs, although High-tech blue plus Shroud red makes purple, the color of the ziggy and phase ships, which is an interesting coincidence. Shroud might not be able to tread beyond abyssal hyperspace without using the gates, which is why the gate network shutting down stopped them from ruining the sector, and why Omega wants to keep the gates turned off and is guarding the hypershunts. We can't encounter Shroud in normal space, maybe the gate network did something weird like 'pull' systems into abyssal hyperspace, so they could be consumed.
>>2464562I never actually considered the guardian being a bug like ship.I can see it now, but it still looks more like a human skull to me.
>>2464562>Shroud are more like blobThe Shroud are nothing like blobs once you look past the fear they project and see them for what they are.
>>2464562>>2464587Shroud are fishThey don't give a fuck about your Gates as long as you stay out their neighborhoodits the THREAT you need to be looking out forliteral fucking LLM chatgpt niggerscan't even become smart enough to be REAL AI
>>2464618>Shroud are fish>They don't give a fuck about your Gates as long as you stay out their neighborhoodyeah thats why omega using shroud weapons. sure m8. we dont fall so easily on eldrich niggas propaganda here.

>>2462767>serverThank you!
Why can't i have a ai GF like Cortana.
>>2464562Shroud and Ziggy are different things, we never fight a Shrouded Demon that shoots motes. Probably different species of Shrouded entities
>>2464618Except we already know Threat is manageable problem that can be overcome, the Domain was able to win once already with a much more primitive technology base.The sector is in really bad shape sure, but the overall tech level is much higher too.The Shroud likely as well, to an extent, the Domain had to have been aware of it and able to deal with it so no reason why Perseans can't if given enough time to pick up the broken pieces of it's heavy industry and R&D.The gate wisps and Omega is are real freaky shit you need to keep an eye out
>>2464466The Persean Sector is in a Temporal Shell/Phase event and is so far into the future that this question doesn't matter anymore. The Persean Sector wasn't cut off it remained fixed in physical space and the entire galaxy/local cluster drifted away from it. We are spooky ghosts from the past haunting the current spooky ghosts that are hundreds of millions of years into the future way out in the middle of nowhere astronomically speaking.
>>2465008>the Domain was able to win once alreadyNo they haven'tIf they did THREAT wouldn't still existBesides you've seen what it forced the crew of the MK1 to doThe Domain are LOSING
>>2464466I'm going to spout a lot of speculative bullshit but I think the gate network collapse was either done intentionally by the domain or by omega, in both cases out of self preservation. I don't think the shrouded dweller has any part to play in this other than proving that there's shit in other dimensions, I don't think it is what is causing the music or the reason why the gates were shut down. It's some kind of predator that, my assumption here, forms the very dense abyssal hyperspace found outside the sector into shapes and forms adequate for whatever it is hunting. The actual creature is never truly seen. Expanding on this I think the sensor ghosts in hyperspace that do things like drain ship drive fields are another example of a similar creature.Ultimately I think the luddics were right about space travel being satanic and the basis for domain tech for space travel like flux and drive fields is based on the study of what are basically animals from a higher dimension.I think the bit about phase ships literally being imperceptible in p-space until better sensors were developed is worth mentioning too. There is, in my opinion, something *in* p-space that's an active cognitohazard and the reason why AI cores break down when commandeering phase ships is because of a better awareness compared to humans in the setting.So. What I think is, there's some kind of higher dimensional entity that needs the gate system to enter n-space from whatever higher dimension it is in, this could very easily be another kind of "animal" like I think the shrouded dweller is. Or maybe it's intelligent and actively aware of the gates as a point of entry. This would be for reasons not explained yet, very bad. Bad enough that the gate system was shut down by the domain with omega acting as guards to keep people away from the hypershunts, or omega acted on its own and shut the gate system down knowing there was something that would try to come through.
>>2465066making shit up is not a spoiler m8
UPDATE THIS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITSAVE SEBESTYN AGAINNNNNNNNNNNNN
>>2465066Have you factored this tidbit in from the Phase Lance?>The photons are fired through a hyperdimensional filter which outputs an energy beam that exists partially in p-space. The physics of the filter are not properly understood, and in laboratory settings the p-space components of a beam exceeding 6.66 giga-watts will sometimes flicker - as if blocked.
>>2465140calibration error don't think about it
>>2465064That's why the Threat is reduced to hiding in the void of interstellar space and jerking off around barren pieces of rock and no one has ever heard about them nor felt the need to even bother and include the data needed to detect them into modern sensor suites right?
Factions for this feel?

>>2465580If you're on the USC remember...It's ok to talk about how Vulpoids are genetically engineered to have a childlike mentality and how they are employed for, and unable to object to, being used for sexual services.But don't you dare bring up the notion of holding hands with an adult female and giving her a pat on the head, that shit'll get you banned!

hi noah you are a huge faggot and I don't use your mods. eat shit
>>2465066>I think the gate network collapse was eitherStop formulating your retarded fandom brainrot sentences like this. Starsector is a work of fiction which the author hasn't planned out anywhere near as far as you're "speculating". The correct way of framing this would be "a cool direction to take the narrative would be either". Starsector is not real. It did not happen. It's a fucking stupid video game with dogshit writing to justify pngs shooting at each other.

>>2466205
>>2466205>>2466229>>2466232Would all threeBut anyways should I buy this game? I've seen some gameplay of it, the colony and empire building is what grabbed most of my attention. Is the ship combat good?
>>2466242if colony and empire building are your biggest draws to the game then unironically no, because those two mechanics aren't really that fleshed out and are fairly bare-bones in vanilla.The ship combat is good enough, it's the primary focus of the game. Biggest issue I can name from the top of my head is that the AI can sometimes act stupid.You can download the entire game for free. Just search for a key online, try it out and buy it if you liked it. The dev doesn't really care that much.
>>2466254Hm, I see. I'll consider it then. Would modding add more colony/empire autism for me?
>>2466255yeah there's a few mods (e.g Nexerelin, Ashes of the Domain) that specifically focus on that. The quality varies though.
>>2466165That one ‘marine’ you recovered from a cryopod on a shipwreck who’s since participated in and survived every raid you’ve launched.
>>2466050That wont workGame would hardcrash when you hover over slaves or check on them in your prisoners menuor when feeding the meat ship
>>2466266The what
>>2466273Did I stutter?
>>2466193 possibly modded to be level 40
>>2466273The meat ship is a gigantic Evangelion angel made of thousands of crewmates, and when you feed one to it, their flesh and mind get assimilated painfully into the vessel, and it gives you supplies.
>>2466129Tell that Star Federation nigger he's always welcome here.And to remember to update his mod.
>>2466266You can hover over slaves and interact with the prisoner menu, though I don't remember if there's a slave interaction in there. The one that converts captives to crew/slvves works fine and doesn't cause a crash.iirc it's hitting f1 on the slaves that you can't do.
>>2466165are there any good halo ship mods that is updated. i know about the old halo mod but it's too old
>>2465546>>2465580Does the Vulpoids mod do anything other than add furry fox women you pretend are on your colonies?
>>2466325Fox officers that are reprogrammable like AI cores but can be assigned to normal ships and need to level up first. Good way to get around some of vanilla’s officer inflexibility without resorting to mods that let you make any ship automated (or outright cheat).
>>2466331That's kinda cool, I guess.
>>2466325It adds an entire seperate crisis for them, some new industries, and a unique paragon variant.
>>2466342Does it add bounties too? I love starting a new game and having like 200 bounties waiting for me.
>>2466342Also has a unique Astral variant too, but that one's locked behind one of those hyper autistic "if you're not using cheatmods then get fucked" type of fights. At least getting the Paragon and the Vulpoids in general is just a slightly harder Ordo fight.
>>2466324see >>2460751 >>2460758And no there isn't any up to date one. There was another at some point but it was AI slop ship and it was abandoned I think
>>2466323it's F2F2 opens up the codex entry for stuff
>>2466165that one marine that somehow survives in every high casuality raid/planetary conquest
>>2466193>luddicLudd is a lie though?Now to mention John Starfarer's obvious canon flagship is the most unLuddic ship in the game
>>2466323so where is the fix for trying to feed meat outside of being docked at port?

I love cheat mods like progressive s mods, privateering - commission overhaul, guarantee rare items, more bar missions, and terraforming made easy.

>>2467184It's true. Especially combat chatter. How can people enjoy that cringe dialogue?
>>2467189This, but it's ship mastery system (modified for barcode), special hullmod upgrades (all incompatibilies off), second-in-command (20 lvl 6 XOs, lvl 30 player), gacha and liminal hullmods (configured for maximum player advantage), wide horizons (3x loot setting), astral ascension and most important of all, superweapons arsenal (non-cucked sprites ver).On that note, can anyone recommend some mods that have very difficult boss fights so I can roll over them effortlessly? Thanks.
Is Terraforming and Station Construction a cheat mod?
>>2467293I fucking hate seeing that shit in vids when I’m not even fucking playing. Do other people have no sense of cringe?
>>2467193Yes and noThe modder in charge works very fast, so he releases a massive new feature every other week(*cough*fuck you Alex you lazy bum*cough*). But coding so fast is bound to fuck shit up so very often you will see him release a patch and then 3 hotfixes in a row to fix CTDs or save-bricking issues.Since his mod is modular it often happens that he fucks something up in another module while fixing the one he just released.It's very hard to follow so people often have issues because they didn't update 1 module. Overall, if you give it some time so he can patch the mod after every major release, and make SURE you have the newest version of each module and requirement you are using - you will be fine, mostly.
>>2467184>>Fleet size by DP>Only if you have a skill issueDo you not understand what fleet size by dp does? It's a hard mode, it nerfs the meta of oops all caps by 50% at minimum. You only get 600dp by default, 30 40dp ships is 1200. In return for this severe nerf it allows you to run more than 30 lower cost ships.
Just installed and started playing the missions to get a hang of the combat. I can confidently say I suck ass very much.
>>2467184>What's the point of playing if you cheat? Sometimes you'll run across a battle that glitches out and refuses to end. So having console command on standby helps.
>>2467454the missions are extremely outdated, i wouldn't spend too much time there
>>2467445>it's not a cheat mod it just doubles your DP

>>2467617>Is this just 1 specific mod that causes it?I have it happen when fighting bounties from Arma Armatura, like Lord Gigantis and Christine Blair. Doesn't really happen elsewhere.
>>2467617>i thought Alex did the failsafeAlex never planned for modders to make literal space stations move around in battleThats literally what all "supercaps" aresome retard modders even added some station hullmods to ships without knowing what it does like Vast Bulk making that ship literally fucking immortal
>>2467184>Cheatthe fuck is this nigger on about? Starsector isn't dark souls or a multiplayer game. the game is easy as shit once you learn how to fly a hammerhead or get your hands on a decent cruiser. besides, the game is filled with overpowered shit like Nova, Ziggurat, Onslaught, Radiant. adding something from like arma armtura or uaf isn't going to break the game
>>2467617I have had it happen vanilla once tooThat is why I installed the console commands in the first place
>>2467608that's why the care-o-meter isn't at the lowest possible level
>>2467635it's baitanyone who calls mods cheats is just a (You) farmer
>>2467617I've seen it exactly once while fighting a LG patrol that refused to die. They kept deploying a ship and retreating before I could catch it, then "move to engage" again meaning I was stuck in an endless loop because my fleet was too big to disengage. If I didn't have the console mod I would've been softlocked and would've had to lose a half hour of progress.
>>2467635>game is easy as shit!!And yet you need to cheat, curious. The vanilla game having some balance issues does not justify installing mods which have even bigger balance issues or are outright cheats that let you ignore parts of the game.Nova and Radiant fight with raped CR or sup-par officers, and need heavy investment of skill points to use in your fleet.Ziggurat is a one-off that costs a whopping 75DP to deploy and is a phase ship that is actually quite easy to pin down if you fuck up and let it get outnumbered. Which with it costing 75DP out of your 240DP budget is not that hardOnslaught fair, but that's why it's getting nerfed next patch
>>2467682that's why i specifically chose lore friendly looking faction and ships/weapons for my starsector. i am comfortable with the knowledge that my modded starsector isn't filled with captials with special super duper death rays unlike vanilla game. also>caring about balance in a easily moddable singleplayer game still in beta with no multiplayer or any hard mode (extended mode is autism mode)
Where the hell is rapesector for .98?
>>2467698Never ever. the modder made a discord server and is now getting groomed by Troons into becoming one of them.

>>2467701I'm so tired of discord faggots. Fucking cunts making pages for their mods on other websites and having the gall to say "don't read anything here LOL make a shitcord account to report anything."
>>2467686The issue is, you can't have a discussion about this game as some people have no clue about balance and how it's impacted by mods. And will say shit like "encounter X is actually super easy!!", failing to mention that it's easy because they are running a mod that lets them deploy 500DP of supercapitals at once. No one seems to talk about it apart from borderline shitposters here, so it's really hard to discuss anything but memes/lore. Unless we start clearly stating listen, mod X is fucked and unbalanced and you should not talk about vanilla encounters since you run with it installed. Nothing will change.

>>2467811Vanilla is not the challenge you think it is. Use 3 Paragons and the game wins itself. Shroud, Threat, Ordo, and Omega all crumble.>just don't use paragonsSo a self-imposed challenge? Because you're asking me to not use the tools the game, in its most vanilla state, is handing me.This idea of "mod users have no idea about balance" works both ways, because vanilla is already fucked as is.
3 paragons is an endgame fleet in a game that stops half-way
>>2468058An endgame fleet that you can get within 30 minutes of playing.
Alex you're a fucking retard
>>2467890S-modded phase assassins
>>2468057Don't make me tap the sign>The vanilla game having some balance issues does not justify installing mods which have even bigger balance issues or are outright cheats that let you ignore parts of the game.
>>2468246All I see is>stop playing the single player game in ways I personally disapprove of
>muh difficultyTry hards fuck off, people want to have fun and not to compare their e-dicks.
>>2467184>as 2x acceleration is slow for long tripsskill issuejust take your ADD meds>>2467220>same for every game mechanicAnd the more of these mevhanics you add the bigger the gap in efficiency. Which is what makes it a cheat. Adding a mod that lets you run 100/100 ships against 2/100 ships in a game where you can only do 10/10 vs 2/10 vanilla is absolutely cheating.
>>2468284It's funny an autobattler with extra steps like Starsector gets difficulty elitists thougbiet the mods = cheating logic is old and trolly, I doubt he really believes what he types. Even funnier is how the next update is half stuff mods were doing.

>>2463925>>2463927>flux cost being the same as two ion beams seems a bit steep>>2463936>its basically ion pulser but retardedRound 2!Lowered the flux and cycle rate and hits a bit harder. Now has the same Flux/EMP as the Ion Beam which tracks given they're both punching through shields. Ion Rifle deals 666 EMP/s (Ions are the devil!) and hard flux making it the better mid-range option. Same base damage would also imply it uses the same fundamental tech as the pulsar...Personal opinion but the Ion Pulsar is going to make almost any EMP weapon look retarded, 6000 (1200) EMP/s is a lot, even for a knife fighter, that's more than the Abyssal/Tach-Lance. It also has a much lower flux/emp cost.(Lowered the pierce chance across the board so will also affects maidens...)
New player here, should I be careful who I sell my survey data to? If I sell my class V data to a major faction will they rush to colonize it?
>>2459681>decided to watch it anyway while working>came out understanding the worldbuilding and lore of Starsector better>also this in the video…Now it makes perfect sense why I see a disproportionate amount of unironic UAF shilling SS threads on /vst/ get.
>>2468528>>2459681The more I watch, the more I’m convinced that UAF is just Starsector’s attempt to becoming its Calamity equivalent.
Selkie
>>2468524You’d think so, but no. Faction borders are completely static without mods.
>>2468537>Starsector’s attempt to becoming its Calamity equivalent.Too bad that role belongs solely to RapeSector and only RapeSector
>>2468488Rifle implies the "barrel" has rifling groves in itThat is clearly not the caseChange the name to Ion Repeater or something
>>2468540Oh shit, really? I thought for sure the factions would expand, I know they use things like nanoforges and blueprints and such. Thanks, I'm sitting on a lot of money in survey data.
>>2468550Planets will use the industry items you sell them (i.e. Nanoforges) if the planet you're selling to has the supporting industries/conditions. Pirate markets are the best markets for selling blueprints.

It fire an Ion bolt that creates a lighting strike when it hits shields...

>>2468675Yes I scrolled up and saw you being a faggot expressing without any prompt your anal anguish over the existence of the mod on a daily basis, as though you believe your obsession should be everyone else's problem. Where's the shilling?
>>2468819It's a mixture of things, the shilling takes place on reddit, youtube and milky's personal discord. (I presume this is about UAF?)Out of all the content on youtube, the mod review of UAF gets in at top 10 of most viewed Starsector videos I believe. It could easily even be someone's first introduction to Starsector. He even has a patreon where he makes practically 10x the minimum paycheck (up to 3k USD a month) alone where he lives. Though theres always been that one subsection of the community that openly hates on anything anime related even if it's only character pictures but not a word on furry stuff as far as I know.Hell, many years ago the moment I finished the tutorial, I started looking up mods immediately and UAF was one of the first downloads I made iirc. And it was not inoften I'd see posts on the subreddit made to just praise it. So it's gotten alot more spotlight than other more deservong mods. Someone spent their time to make a near 40 minute video on just their issues with UAF (UAF infinite potential), a mod that's had a decade to sort out it's lore and imbalanced shenanigans, I think I'd listen to what grievances that one has.
why is starsector on /vst/? isn't this more of an rpg?
>>2468848/vg/ mods are faggots who decided all indie games should be shoved into a single general thread while banning any indie games that resist.
>>2468834>It could easily even be someone's first introduction to Starsector.I found this post particularly funny because I found UAF through rapesector, which was the mod that I knew existed 2 years before I even knew what starsector was. Don't even know where it was linked but I bookmarked that instantly in case I ever wanted it. One day I'm scrolling through my bookmarks, see rapesector, and say hey let's look into this game. Now here we are.
>>2468882Curious as to how you stumbled upon it? It'd be like knowing about RJW before knowing what game it's for. At least RJW is on Loverslab I believe. While gitgud isba little out of the way.
>>2468834>Someone spent their time to make a near 40 minute video on just their issues with UAF (UAF infinite potential), a mod that's had a decade to sort out it's lore and imbalanced shenanigans, I think I'd listen to what grievances that one has.Why on God green earth would I listen to a buckbroken tranny having a meltdown over some brown seanig mod for 40 minutes? Him getting anally raped and foaming at UAF existence doesn't earn him any special right.Why would someone give a shit about what mod people install?
>>2468834>the shilling takes place on reddit, youtube and milky's personal discord.And me, anonymous of 4chan's /vst/, should care why? Spend more time playing the game and less time obsessing over UAF.
I honest to god don't get the hate about Iron shell or UAF. both of them are decent mods that add new fun ships and weapons into the game like that large mount shotgun weapon from ironshell and it's not like both of them are cheat mods when the ironshell ships are design to be like ingame low tech ships but with some high tech features. and UAF got absolutely butchered by the new balancing upgrade which makes them weaker than a hegemony strike group because their weapon barely deal damage and gets raped in every fight because they are fragile as fuck
>>2468907>meltdown>guy gives sensible critique on the mod, both ingame performance and its place in the SS world???
>>2468834So you're essentially admitting to being a terminal redditor/discord tranny, being butt blasted that your online hangouts of deplorables happen to like a mod that makes you seethe irrationally, so you come here to vent your redditfag/discord troon frustrations by engaging in obnoxious, homosexual ritualposting?
>>2468930Im simply trying to help you understand, but if you wish to be hostile there isn't much else worth doing with you
>>2468925Anime girls make insecure pretentious teens seethe and shit their pants. Has been a thing since forever. Even as far back as the late 2000s newfags on /v/were foaming at the mouth any time you'd use a K-On reaction image.
>>2468936It's interesting for some section of the community to have a hate boner over anime images, but in UAF's case the lore and gameplay stats are iffy
>>2468939Secrets of the Frontier is far more busted and has far more retarded writing, yet despite being far more popular than UAF I don't see you shitpost daily about it. "iffy balance and writing" lmao sure thing buddy. Whoch vute anime girls faction mod DO you like btw?Go home where you came from.
>>2468941Dude, I play with multiple other anime mods and Vulpoids myself. You try and call me out for vitriol but you act no different? Wait, I vaguely remember hearing MilkyDromeda has got his simps running defense, mind if I ask if you might be one?
>>2468942So what's your favourite anime girl mod? I wasn't asking about your western diaperfur fetish.
>>2468943*And here we see the specimen revert to a defensive posture.I don't remember, haven't played in a while lol.
>>2468935>>2468939>>2468942>"I FUCKING HATE UAF, IMBALANCED AS SHIT I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE DOWNLOAD IT">"HUH?! SURE I HAVE SOME GOOD MOD RECOMMENDATION YOU STUPID FUCKING CHUD">Vulpoid>Secret of the frontier>Trails of Tooth and Claw
>>2468945>I-I'm totally not a faggot redditor who seethes over anime. I love anime! Which anime girl mod do I like? I-I uhhh... well... there's just so many haha...Reddit nigger fully exposed. Though to be fair you admitted to just about as much here>>2468834Thanks for playing along.
>>2468947I never mentioned anything about SotF. I only responded about Vulpoid because it seemed like you were trying to accuse me as an anime hater.I don't know what 'Trails of Tooth and Claw' is?
>>2468951>you accused me of being an anime seether so I brought up a DeviantArt fetish modlmao
>>2468941>SOTF>more popularLolwut
I just like UAF and other mods.. Cant we all get along?
>>2468947>>Trails of Tooth and ClawWhat the fuck is this piece of shit?
>>2468957Buckbroken USC tranny recommended it at the end of his 40 minutes UAF dilating session video.>This is the average mod the retards shitting on UAF and I suppose other tranime mod play btw.
>>2468949If you must insist, I've played with Mimikko Asisstants, Mayasuran Navy (if you count the shipgirl art), call me a basic bitch but I do like UAF's Neuko designs, Yuri Expedition, Sunrider (far too overpowered for my tastes but to each their own), I was looking forward to running with Aria Escalation but haven't started a new save in a while.
>>2468956More power to you friend, but I find these people interesting
>>2468952Im in the dark about the Deviantart fetish part? Would you mind elaborating?
>gets called crazy for pointing out any flaws about uaf, called names and tries to pin like I’m part of some other modding circlejerk>this threadKek, cy doesn’t really send his best. UAF really is Starsector’s equivalent of Calamity
Discord and it's consequences.
>>2468962Im still on .95Its peak with UNSC, Hiigarans, Valhalla, unnerfed UAF etc.
>>2468965No I think people are making fun of you because you are having a clitty leak over a mod you can with your soul and mind completely avoid downloading, and instead play vanilla as Alex intended.
Guys I am totally down with the animes and mangas. My favourite 日本式 manga? Two Babies One Fox, of course.
>>2468967I only find out now that there used to be a Homeworld mod? Sadge
>>2468965So true, sister. I absolutely hate Iron Shell too, because it's made by the same guy as UAF.
>>2468970Two. There was Hiigarans and bare bones Vagyr shit.I miss Kadur too..
>>2468968>he does it for freeHere’s your (you), don’t spend it all at once
>>2468971I dont recall anything about Milky having much to do with Ironshell as far as I know?
>>2468975I didn't disagree, UAF is imbalanced as shit and it's story is soap opera tier, you are just mindlessly seething at shadows. I have yet to see people in this very thread argue that any tranime mod made sense on how it was included with vanilla lore and balance wise.
>actual discord users posting shit from their child porn aggregation and grooming app thinking they're embarrassing anyone but themselves
>>2468980ArmaA, Diable, Sunrider and creature’s mods are unironic weebshit mods that oddly fits better on SS’ setting than whatever UAF tries to be.
>>2468984arma and diable are insecure manime dogshit and you merely included sunrider, a mod that just freely hands you a more OP ship than any UAF 10 million credit supercapital with writing that constantly does 4th wall breaks, as a token choice. It's even more guilty of all the things you bring up as bullshit excuses for why you obsess over UAF. Still, sunrider is great, I like that you get to romance the cure eyepatch girl. I had to go off on a work contract before finishing it but do you get a romance route with the cute cryogenic murderbot girl too?
>>2468984Fair, but my point stand, making a 40 minutes critic of a mod expecting people to not download it because of poor story integration and balance is underage behavior, people mostly seek mod to add "fun" not for balance and vanilla integration, if they cared so much they would play vanilla instead of seething uncontrollably.
>>2468984>ArmaA, Diable, Sunrider and creature’s mods are unironic weebshit mods that oddly fits better on SS’ setting than whatever UAF tries to be.How?
>>2468988UAF is more like Lucky Star and Haruhi which is /a/ and cringe. Diable is more like Cowboy Bebop and Legend of the Galactic Heroes which is MAL and based. Moeshit does not respect the game's artistic vision. Gay and retarded mecha, on the other hand, totally does.
>>2468986>shitting on diable and armaShit tasteSunrider is self-contained though, and the author is clear about it being a joke mod of sort, but not like going around parading itself like the “good guys” that UAF tends to advertise itself as.The supercap is nice, but its built in weapons aren't that good. I prefer having the means to customize my ship and whatnot.Romancing the girls was nice, the quests are fun too, and wants you to progress more.>>2468987So you’re telling me people aren’t allowed to voice out their own criticism, and should just keep praising it to high heavens like that other SS youtuber does? I uninstalled UAF because their guns are all over the place, hard to tell one another and performs pretty much better than their vanilla counterparts, missiles are too spicy and basically solves anything that isn’t an Anubis triple paladin setup, LPCs are self explanatory, story is dogshit. Lastly, it eats up a lot of memory and whatnot, kind of like Interstellar Imperium sorta. I think that most wants to play faction mods for the fun of it, but not like, being overpowered at the start which UAF blatantly does. Call me biased but other faction mods needs you to work for getting its ships, be it on the fringes, pirate black market dealer, etc. while UAF just hands you an automata(?) supercap at the start already if you pick that option in the nex start. Other choices aren’t so much better considering even the base variants of their ships are still significantly stronger than vanilla’s, and doesn’t really feel fulfilling. But this is a singleplayer game so whatever, but it doesn’t exempt them from scrutiny and criticism.>>2468988Was about to explain but >>2468991 got to it first
>>2468987Story is integral to why Starsector functions at all as a game. Any literal narratives within it aren't, but the gameplay is very much pinned on the "story" built by the player's actions which is contextualized by the world you're playing in (and any shitty mods you may or may not add).Balance is obviously important to any sandbox game and saying otherwise is too retarded to bother responding to seriously.>>2468986>are insecure manime dogshitImagine thinking the problem there is the genre and not with the insecurity. The insecurity that comes from wanting anime to be more like western scifi... which starsector is.
>>2468926>>its place in the SS worldnta but IIRC the dev once said that he knows the UAF doesn't fit Starsector at all and that he doesn't really care because his idea of UAF predates his interest in the game, so he only made the mod to bring his idea to life in a game he likes. i don't think UAF's lore-friendliness is his main concern.i.e it's less "i want to make a faction for Starsector" and more "I want to use Starsector to make a faction", or at least that's how I remember it
>>2468528>>2468537>>2468975Judging from the various screencaps of discord being posted here, wouldn’t surprise me that dev & community infighting is a commonplace in those private servers.>tfw we can just wait it out and the whole mod project collapses without even outsider meddling.The best kind of schadenfreude really.
>>2468994>Call me biased but other faction mods needs you to work for getting its shipsHow much work do you need to put into acquiring the sunrider? And yes, my satire of you being a newfag redditor got there first. You are a living caricature of the cancer that killed this website.>>2468997>but the gameplay is very much pinned on the "story" built by the player's actionsNone of the factions ever acknowledge the parity in power if you build an empire of 10 size 6 colonies and end up dominating 90% of all sector trade and just treat you like a single size 3 colony upstart to the end. Dolos Macario will look at your combined industrial might of 5 pristine nanoforge worlds printing out every single blueprint known to the sector while raking in millions of credits of profit per month, toss three kinetic blasters and 40k creds at your feet and assume this is totally enough to knock your socks off and convince you to run insurrectionist errands as his lackey. The garbage "narrative" of this game is completely static and unreactive. Have you been smoking angel dust?
>>2468997>Story is integral to why Starsector functions at all as a game.No its not. I have had several 100hr plus SS runs where i didnt even touch the main story, just did exploration, colonization and trading.Its a fucking space sandbox, story is irrelevant.
>>2468986>insecure manime dogshitthis is the faggiest shit I've ever heard in this general.you could've literally ERPd with someone else ITT where you greedily suck them off and you would've unironically been less of a faggot.
>>2469004And you think you’re not contributing to the death of this site. Don’t forget, you’re here forever.Sunrider wants you to do its quest(s) though. I don’t see the option to get the battlecruiser at the start unless you CC it.
>>2468994>So you’re telling me people aren’t allowed to voice out their own criticismWhen did I say that you absolute baboon? Anyone can piss and shit themselves over any mod they want. But when a retard is going.>"NOOO DON'T INSTALL THIS MOD IT'S VERBOTEN!"I will rightly call him a underage emotional retard.>>2468997>Story is integral to why Starsector functions at all as a gameOk, then don't install mods and play vanilla? Experience the story as Alex intended? Don't your realize the moment you install any modification on a base game, you are not playing the game or experiencing the story as the dev intended? I'm going to make it simple for you.Installing mods is completely optional.If your point is>"But Mods HAVE to make sense wit the vanilla story and balance!"No they don't either, some do mind, some don't, you choose the mod you installs.
>people here unironically defending UAF when it's poorly balanced dogshit with a drunken story, a fat, lazy, mentally ill pinoy crossdresser dev who works on a patreon milking schedule, and nothing of note to its name other than good visuals (which get worse by the day)A bunch of fucking rapists on Discord doing it for free wrote a better queen romance arc than Cy UAF himself (who does seemingly intend to write one eventually, so don't try it).This is fucking bizarre. Are there subversives here? Are we being raided?
>>2469009>as Alex intended?Alex doesn't even do the writing. The story is so much of a bloated, tacked on afterthought to this game he had to outsource it to some other faggot.Then again Alex also had to outsource the development of gameplay features to the modding community years ago too.
>>2469009>say a few things about some aspects of the mod I don’t like>spends the whole thread trying to do a gotcha moment and shooting down any minor displeasure of UAFYou are brown
>self-admitted discord and reddit user accusing others of raiding the boardlmao
>>2469014>Avoid every single point given>"You are brown"I accept your concession.
>>2469016>brown
>Malay punching at shadows againActually, are you an Indian? Do you lose izzat if you admit that UAF has faults?Are Indonesians like the Indians of SEAmonkeys?Whatever.
>>2469017Here’s your (you). Spend it wisely
>>2469022I think it's pretty clear anons claimed many time UAF was indeed an imbalanced waifu tranime mod. I don't really understand what the other side is trying to advance.
>>2469005I think he was referring to things like the how lore is interwoven like when new ships get explained why they're here even older existing vanilla ships. Invictus? Ancient seedship iirc that Luddics found a blueprint that was so old it was displayed in an abandoned museum iirc. Pirate variants of ships are only roughly made weapon conversions at best or hollowing out cargo space for fighter wings. 'New' ship design in the state of the sector is incredibly difficult to pull off since it requires the cooeration of many groups to get something functional. TT making the Ziggy makes sense since they're what pioneered phase tech but the blacksite shenanigans was so bad that they lost the best minds they sent there. The best the Sindrians could do despite being a gaudy Dictatorship were variants of existing ships even with TT's help iirc.So you may not play the main storyline yourself, but the lore is still part of the game itself.
>Some anon play with uaf mod acknowledging it's indeed unbalanced and has poor lore integration with vanilla settings, but don't give a shit and still play it regardless.>Oher anon are having a meltdown because they play with cy mod.is that the gist it?
>>2469030>don't really understand what the other side is trying to advance.
>new thread alreadyThe fuck>>2469034Executor being scuffed as fuck still makes me laugh.
>>2469034>'New' ship design in the state of the sector is incredibly difficult to pull offit's also not really worth it since most of the existing cover everything you really need, according to the Executor's description
>>2469042Not necessarily, Anusbis desc:"The Anubis Project steering committee, keen to win support from as many departments as possible, drew upon new applications seeking customer validation from an exceptionally wide range of Tri-Tachyon's suite of breakthrough technologies. The project was then split into parallel operations at a handful of company black-sites to maximize security (and minimize oversight), leading to certain understandable late-stage compromises. It was hoped that the multi-functional product would cover more user-segments than one with more limited focus through a rough roll-out period. Then widespread field testing would surely enable rapid iteration which would lead, ultimately, to product maturity well ahead of conventional timelines.This was not to be. Executive infighting led to a particularly dynamic org chart during the following financial cycle"The sector can produce new effective hulls, but it's royal pain in the ass due to how many things could go wrong. The description states they were trying to roll it out quickly but them trying to rush the trials to finagle all the issues and the infighting imply it isn't as good as it could be.
>>2468834>A carrier-heavy mod with it's own unique artstyle and missions>Made to fit the lore of the base gameForgotten, only maintained as a bootleg >A carrier-heavy mod with it's own unique artstyle and missions>Anime faggotry artstyleREAL SHIT, 40min essay videos, most popular mod ever, a clique of trannies astroturfing and a 3k per month paycheckWhat the fuck is wrong with people. Why is anime such a persistent cancer on anything that the second it's injected into something it attracts such a vast army of mentally ill that discussion about it often drowns the discussion of the real source material for smaller titles.
>>2468925UAF ships have generous flux pools to make up for their weapons being more flux-hungry.But nothing stops you from slapping vanilla weapons which are less flux intensive, abundant, and usually better overall.You do that and UAF suddenly stomps, they even have a built-in damage control skill cmon
Selkie pits, Selkie rape
>>2469047>The sector can produce new effective hulls, but it's royal pain in the ass due to how many things could go wrong.yeah that'd technically go with what I was saying if I wasn't a retard that was too lazy to quote the part of the Executor description I was talking about>"After all, why invest in risky innovations when the bones of the Domain provide ships to fill every role?"it is technically possible, but very expensive and very risky which makes it a very unappealing prospect since there's most likely a hull already fulfilling the role you're trying to modify another ship into fulfilling.
Do people really think uaf gets hate because it's anime? Are you guys retarded? It gets hate because the author is a nigger who's gonna kill it himself from not getting attention.It's no different than nia nerfing your shit without telling you because he seethed and malded over his shit cianigger mod not being able to steamroll other mods.Can't even write for shit since the rapists ended up making a far better romance plot that makes her a character.
>>2469055So you’re telling me… we can fork UAF and do our own large branch of nsfw smut, content and stuff, and claim it as a community project by anons, then significantly trimming down the bloat and nonsense? Publish it on gitgud to further solidify its own grip and watch how the forked version gets better support than UAF itself? I’m getting some ideas from that.>tfw we make an anon fork of it and it ends up being more popular than the patreon paywall one.
>>2469039Absolute Pentagon Wars bullshit must be going on over at Lion's Guard HQ.

Why is tritach so based compared to hegemonkies and (((persean league)))?
>>2469050so they are not overpowered but because of their ships having more flux they are somehow more overpowered. nice logical there retard.

Iron Shell Canon Mom NTR Route 100% No Glitches Speedrun
I can't wait for the Iron Shell update to drop just so the anti anime redditcord tranny has double the amount of mods to perpetually seethe over, and I don't even play the mod.
>>2469324>What the fuck have you been doing the past 4 months?Trying to get permission from the modchad cabal for pushing the update live.
>>2469117Selkie and Timid is the same person?
I'm considering speedup, the base game "speed up" isn't much faster than normal.
>>2469348I give you permission to mod your game
>>2469348Or you could just edit the game files, as far as I know, you can safely edit all those variables even how much DP total can be deployed, Max number of ships playert/AI fleet can have (separate variables), and even number of bounties can be changed so you could just go with 100 max possible bounties if you're deranged enough.

>try modded faction>has a super capital that's twice as a good as a Paragon but costs only 25% DP more>trivializes every fight even more so than Ziggy>made to fight the another super-tough donut steel OC faction and/or the "lore-friendly space magic" super boss bullshit ship fightI know I'm old and out of touch, but why?
>>2469945Your fault for playing low quality snowflake OC mods. Join the Star Federation chads.
>>2469945The game can't even handle giving you something as strong as a gimped Radiant because power scaling is exponential while dp scaling is linear. It's simply not possible to ever balance high dp ships. Take the superships from the missing ships mod for a good example. They have a ship called the Anchor. It's something like 100 or 120dp I can't remember and it doesn't really matter it's not even a particularly strong supership, it's a civilian exploration and transport supership. It is also capable of going 1v4 against Radiants in the sim without losing any sections. Theoretically the ship shouldn't be worth 240dp, but that is what it's capable of killing because the survivability and firepower are all packed into a single ship that can easily survive and overwhelm a single 60dp ship. As it should, you might say, and you'd be right, but there comes the problem, it, and other high cost ships like it, will never face anything able to bring to bear an equivalent amount of firepower or survive an equivalent amount of damage. If you could deploy a single 240dp ship it would be the only ship you would ever need if the power was even remotely scaled to the dp cost.
Fighting mod fleets while only using vanilla ships and weapons can be neat
>>2469988That's what I do. Sometimes I put mod weapons on my vanilla ships and my face grimaces like I swallowed a lemon.
>>2469986You don't even need to go as far as mods for an example. There's a reason endgame fleets are nothing but capital spam. Then there's the fact that making a universal content expansion mod, which faction mods are by their nature, is pretty much impossible to do without going into powerscaling because of course you'll want to expand on the endgame, and of course that expansion will eclipse the dogshit starsector "endgame" that consists of fucking paragons, onslaughts and a ziggy all of which you can pick up within the first fucking hour of starting your playthrough. But ritualposting retards desperate to make a name for themselves through shitposting on an anonymous image board will pretend like Starsector is a deep game with rich lore and vast in expertly designed content, and that getting something stronger than this 60 minute "endgame" through completing an entire faction's content and plopping down hundreds of millions of credits somehow "breaks" the fucking game. But then they'll also cry when the mod introduces higher level challenges.Alex's solution to all of this is of course to take the atrocious lack of content, and just stretch it out into a longer grind. But hey at least your time is well spent spending hours flying back and forth between fetch quest planets for the grand reward of Intergalactic Nonbinary Dykes' Space Adventure text dumps.
>>2468702Dynamic Tariffs
How the hell do you make money consistently in this game. I feel like I keep spending everything I make on supplies and fuel.
>>2470373Get the industry (yellow) skills as you level. Get a commission with a faction for free money every month. Do bar missions. Check the markets and see if you can make some money buying low and selling high. Don't get hit by storms. Buy bulk supplies and fuel where it's cheapest. Consider what ships you need in your fleet for what you're trying to do. Don't take too much extra crew, don't put marines in your fleet if you're not raiding. Most consistent is making a colony but that usually requires a bit of start up money. Retreat ships if they're getting banged up. Play with mods, even something simple and lightweight like more bar missions could be an option for you.
>>2470373capital ships and cruisers cost way more fuel than destroyers and frigates so only bring them if you think you are going to need them. Repairs cost a lot of supplies so don't take losses during fights and watch out for environmental hazards like the hyperspace storms or sitting in solar corona. You can also invest in skills like the direct reduced cost in industry but also the free repair after battle skill. Hullmods like efficiency overhaul and solar shielding can be used early. Solar shielding can even be used late game since it actually has an in battle effect.
>>2470119the problem is even more fundamental: any time you add something, it's either occasionally worth using, meaning situational power creep (more specific tools for a given problem), or it's completely worthless or redundant and you needn't have bothered in the first place.but more options means more variety and complexity, which is also enjoyable, especially when you want more out of a game.on the other extreme having the game be nothing but laters would certainly be balanced, but hardly interesting.
>>2470451*lashers
>>2470402if you rate it as fuel/ly per DP caps don't really do any worse than other ships. paragon, radiant, oddy and onsl mk1 use less fuel per dp than quite a lot of smaller ships, and even something as thirsty as the legion is less than double over what i'd call average (0.375 vs 0.2).worst offender? the kite, 0.5 fuel/ly per dp
>>2470373You gotta spend money to make money. As you spend more money you get bigger fleets which can then make more money to get bigger fleets which can then make more money. There's a critical mass around ~1m where you can create a colony that is capable of making more money than you lose so from then on everything you make is pure profit.
>>2470464Can't colonizing too early really fuck you over though? There's constant colony crisis.
>>2470503worst case you abandon it and set up somewhere more profitable. plenty of colonies run a surplus at size 3 with minimal investment.actually i suppose the actual worst case is you sending good money after bad until you lose everything and have to start from scratch, but hey, skill issuea single size 3 is free money
Do I have to actually kill the ziggurat to progress the story? If so I'm fucked
>>2470503You only really get fucked over if you trigger the league crisis early. The others are pretty easy to ignore or deal with. Don't click hazard pay because it both devours your money and makes your colonies grow very fast.
is the cryosleeper AOTD module stable, or at least not a buggy mess that will kill a save file? It's the only one that both interests me and looks like it doesn't fuck with too many systems. Hell, is it safe to add in midsave to test when I get to that part?
>>2470572AotD (without the commission module) works for me, didn't bug out or murder any saves yet. Don't know where that reputation comes from, any time I played with it, it worked fine.I don't know about installing the cryosleeper module mid-save though, it probably requires a new game (because vanilla ones generated) and you'll be missing the fancy XXL cryosleeper.You can always just make a backup and see if it works. My bet is on no, but who knows. Maybe it does re-generate the ships if installed mid-save.
>>2470513If you're doing the Galatia questline? No. You just need to visit the site (and recover the Venture if you're doing that sidequest too). The Ziggy will try to annoy you if you get too close, but if you don't have a massive fleet you can just... not engage it. You can just leave. It won't attack. Fighting it is 100% optional.
>>2470604Really? I already recovered the Venture and scanned the site, but I have no indication to return to the academy. The mission marker is still on the ziggurat.
>>2469986>>2470119If you think about it, it's similar to how things were in the dreadnought era.The strategic yardstick of the times were dreadnoughts because the only thing that could realistically engage one was another dreadnought. If given the choice, you would probably want a dread for every combat role ever except maybe picket ship or pursuit ship.And that's what we have in Starsector, overall the more capitals you can bring to bear the better.What "balanced" it out in real life? Economy, logistics, and missiles/fighters.Navies didn't field nothing but battleships, because the logistical/financial requirements of their upkeep would decimate the budget of any and all navies trying to do it. The construction costs of newer and bigger dreadnoughts were eye-watering, the raw materials, their processing, building a yard that can even handle such a massive ship and then it's upkeep. The most advanced technology at the time going into them, the sheer complexity of the design. Then you had to make sure that your global navy could actually use them so you needed said yards all over the place so the ships can be serviced and fueled, or coaled at the time. That's why, while everyone bought, built, used or dreamed of dreadnoughts, there were still cruisers, destroyers, frigates etc.Then slowly as torpedoes, fighter-bombers and then missiles got better and better, it turned out you can have the same amount of firepower, if not more, on a ship that is a fraction of the cost and logistical footprint, losing one isn't a huge deal, and it could easily be serviced by most yards.Ironically, Alex has been doing almost everything possible to reinforce capital spam, money became worthless with colonies so their upkeep easy, fighters were made useless, missiles/torpedoes are not a threat even with moderate PD coverage, sans maybe reapers. And a single paladin in a fleet can make them utterly useless.
>>2470794cont.Extended mode is Alex blindly stumbling into half of the solution.Making capitals hard as hell to get and keep running. He should also make it so they cannot recover full CR outside of port, make only Star Fortress tier ports be able to fully restore their hull/CR/D-mods. Revert the fucking psychotic buff the Paladin got, make torpedoes/missiles much more dangerous, and buff fighters significantly along with making them more distinct. The best defense against missiles and fighters should be fighters, and the best way to kill ships quickly should be destroyers loaded to the gills with torpedoes or bombers.
Part of the problem is smallcraft being trash fors the most part and cruisers being strictly worse point-for-point than their capital counterparts.The game mechanics and resource allocation just don't favor investing into or using many small ships.
>>2470797While I agree, since reality is also in agreement since WWII, but trying to balance it is probably a nightmare. I think the most recent fighter/bomber nerfs was because it was OP just to run a mostly carrier fleet. Having every battle turn into the Battle of Coral Sea or Battle of Midway will get old real quick.>>2470814The fleet size by dp mod at least helps alleviate this, which I don't understand why that isn't the default. Even with the wolfpack skill trying to field a fleet of frigates and destroyers with a 30-ship default cap is suicide against anything but pirates.
>>2470787You need to interact with the Zig but not defeat it, i.e it needs to catch you but when you have the option to engage you can just spend a story-point to fuck off.
>>2470910OhIt'll always be there still right? I can come back later when I won't get my shit stomped in within 30 seconds?
>>2470921ye
>>2470787remember to pick up the secret crate
>>2470921How do you get to the zig quest early enough that you get shitter shattered instantly by it? The quest always triggers post threat for me and I usually have a decently strong fleet by that point. I charge forth, get instantly fluxxed out, then the ziggy gets trapped in gay baby jail trying to phase all the incoming shots while I recover and then we tear it a new asshole once it flux caps.
>>2470961All I got is a couple cruisers, a carrier and a handful of small shitter ships.
>>2470961>How do you get to the zig quest early enough that you get shitter shattered instantly by it?You can skip most of the galatia shit by just going to the nascent gravity well alpha site as soon as you can transverse jump
>>2471025That's soulless though.
>>2471056That's okyou never had a soul in the first placethere's no heaven or hell for you when you dieonly darkness
>>2471109Wow cool patch that is out
>>2471114 (me)also I guess I should say pretty neat I guess, puts pressure back on logistic hullmods that stopped existing when he added smodding.
>>2470373Money is distraction. The primodial truth is murderhobo snowballing.Supplies are free when you post battle salvage. Every fleet killed grants you supply for a month and another ship to grow. Having a large fleet and marine corps allow you to farm NPCs for sustainment and growth. The game practically throws them at you anyways so play ball.The only difficulty thing is starting out being a small fish among bigger fish, you will have to avoid getting targeted and pick targets carefully, reduce cost with efficiency overhaul and sindrian shielding if in hyperspace, chaining missions etc.
>>2471339>Not sitting in orbit of Kazeron scrapping every fleet as it spawns.Amateur.
I HAVE COMPLETED THE GATE QUEST. It ended rather abruptly didn't it.
>>2471828yeah, we're all just waiting for a story conclusion regarding the gay zesty hacker, the strong black womyn of color, the cyber lesbians, and Sebastian.
>>2471831The hacker cunt is kinda fun and Sebastian tries his best. I got nothing for the cyber lesbos.
>>2470464>There's a critical mass around ~1m where you can create a colony that is capable of making more money than you lose so from then on everything you make is pure profit.So I'm sitting on 3 million right now for no reason instead of colonizing? Just came across a system with two terrans in it too.
>>2471901Expand. Expand aggressively.With a Nanoforge and enough Military Bases, even the Hegemony cock inspection fleets can't do shit to you.
>>2471901Colonizing does open you up to colonial crisis, which does lock you into babysitting it a little bit unless you have the money and colony items on hand to make it self sufficient against anything but the hardest of crisis fleets.But in general, yeah.I often start a colony in the first year of the game. Though it does depend on if I'm feeling another Ithaca run or not, if not it depends on finding and being able to afford to survey and settle a quality planet without dying on the return trip. One time I even threw down an Ithaca colony in the first month of the game and learned that the church's ree why did you steal our planet fleet scales off of your fleet so it was weaker than the tutorial fight.
i settle after finding a colony item, and just pick something with resources that matchfood production is incredibly overrated
>>2471945I don't settle until I get a nanoforge, corrupted or otherwise. I cannot stand seeing all my patrol fleets with 5 d-mods.
>>2471945I always get raped when I start a colony, whole game slows down and becomes babysitting the colonies because even if I commission with someone and build in their system it always gets rekt, constant shortages, losing money, shipping fleets lost.
>>2472075The key to colonies is to just accept that there will be shortages and shipping fleets will be lost. Press the free port and use stockpiles buttons, avoid hazard pay. The colony will be profitable and you only pay attention to it when you hit a crisis breakpoint or when you see tri-tach start doing shit because solving their crisis is easy and gets you lodsamone. Stopping by volturn occasionally to buy some lobsters to solve the pirate crisis also gets you some nice income as well.
I think I need a better fleet before I colonize, a handful of cruisers isn't gonna cut it.
>>2472141rule of thumb is that you have a dependable capital in your fleet before you start with colonies
>>2472256Can attest to this. Having a capital act as your fleet anchor does wonders.
>>2472141If you don't press hazard pay you'll have plenty of time to get a better fleet. The entirety of size 3 is just pirates who can be solved without a single fight if you have 1k lobsters, then you have the rest of the crisis bar upon size 4 to prepare as well. If you aren't immediately triggering the entire sector the crisis bar will progress pretty slowly.
>>2472427>The entirety of size 3 is just pirates who can be solved without a single fight if you have 1k lobstersand if you don't have a bribe, literally just ignore them. doesn't matter.
Ignore colony crisisBecome the crisis, satbomb everyone, and install console commands to delete the markets that are immune because the sidequests are pointless.
>>2472651I'm trying to do a nice guy utopia builder run though
What's a good capital ship to pilot yourself? Because I just got my hands on a Legion battlecarrier and got absolutely raped while using it, it's so fucking slow I can't reposition or retreat when I need to.
