>>1443646For the future prosperity of this thread.
Any mods that add ships similar to Omen?

>>1444585I heard you like electric arc.
>Do a new play-through and try some of the new ships.>This weapon actually goes "pew-pew".Fucking lmao.>Captcha: 4NGAY
Gremlins are underrated and this officer is an artist with Hammers.
>>1447512Not getting the appeal
>>1447514That guy will get a Gryphon when I get one but right now he's getting a lot of kills from hammer snipes.Is the Dragonfire worth it or should I stick to the Cyclone Reaper launcher?
>>1444585Star Federation has Polyp>phase frigate>2 built in shock repeaters
>>1446242>>1447588Not necessarily zappers, but ships that have functionality beyond just shooting guns.
>>1447585cyclone is much better
>>1447617this one will play billiards with the enemy fleet
>>1447617UAF’s Lyova has a missile that launches enemy ships near it every which way.
What is anons favorite play controlled ship
>>1447988Rosenritter Traumtanzer from Tahlan with Blackrock Morpheus as a close 2nd
>>1447861The Lyora is pretty good once you convince yourself that you're not going to be doing much damage, but you will be an effective line breaker.One thing IronClad didn't mention in his video is that the missile also drags in missiles and fighters into its blast radius, so it's almost a PD weapon in a way.
>>1443646Bruhshould've made the new thread when last one hit 1200+ posts at the very leastit wasn't even at page 11 yet
>>1444585Shade is vanillaits basically omen but phase and has more gun mounts
Ah shit... here we go again
>>1443646is this game still in beta or what? Any release date?
>>1448243Is their questline any good or did the devs cuck out to reddit?
>>1448249It's not yet in beta. No.
Besides when they are on planet, how do you get to interact with officers in rapesector?
for some reason Combat Chatter makes all of my ships throw AC lines, it's fucking kino, I love it.
I wonder did some mod already introduced living ships?Like some sort of space whales with armor strapped on top of carapace and brain replaced with control room.
planet killer quest line goes hard
>give PK to the Path>all Pather cells on my planet go "sleeper," but remain clogging the hostile activity tab>Pather bases also remain and clog the tab
I've been doing only trading and exploring, so... How do you even win battles in this game? I can't overpower anything that isn't marked with three star danger or less. Like, did I miss God's manual on fleet composition? Should I fully dip into simulations and battle there?
>>1448497Well that depends on what is your fleet like right now. Also are you commanding your own fleet? Letting them decide where to go is a surefire way to get surrounded and picked off one by oneAnd well, 3* fights aren't too easy to beat either, so you aren't doing too poorly
>>1448497if you want to beat fleets that are stronger than your own you'll just have to git gud yeah
>quality captains not up to dateunplayable
>>1448266Their questline is far from completeSame with the church quests
>>1448477Plenty in the chinese starsector forumsThere's the Hivers modAnd then there's the [ULTRA REDACTED]
>>1448494You're free to kill themThey wont be able to increase the hostile activity meter anymore
>>1448497Bring more Atlases and Prometheusesthe more the betterif your fleet has enough big ships any little fuckers wont even dare to come close to you
what do you do after you unlock the Vow in SoTF?i havent found anything else related to it since theni can see sierra's captial in the files (picrelated) but i have no idea what to do next
>>1448618That's not obtainableYou can only legit see it and fight it if you betrayed her(sold her to TT or whatever)Even if you add it to your fleet using console commands you can't put sierra in unless you change the ship file because it has a different hullmod built into itand if you do you get a 4th wall breaking talk with her which makes it kinda worth the trouble of doing
>order wolf to harass venture>it hovers out of weapon range and does nothing>order it to engage>same thing>order it to eliminate>...And that was how I was forced to savescum in the fucking tutorial section.
>>1448678ok?But did you at least remember to buy drugs in ancyra and sell it to the pirates to buy organs from the pirates and sell it to ancyra for massive profit?
>>1447988Valkhazard
>>1447988TTS Xenorphica
>>1448679>wtf why isnt the AI just running into the enemy and shooting like every other RTS>game???
>>1448712No, why isn't the eliminate order working as it's advertised to?This isn't even the first time I've had it straight up do nothing but make one ship orbit the other.It works randomly when what it's supposed to do is make them behave as a reckless officer does, and sometimes it actually does this.
>"i did NOT have nonconsensual sex with that starfarer"
>>1448722Of course, it was purely consensual.
>>1448718>not even the first time someone has encountered this, it's a 2 year old bug still present
>>1448722Honestly, I'd love to see some little bits of dialogue if you interact with a fleet and they say something, like "they know what you did" or give you a dirty look, or someone tries to kill you when you go to a bar on a UAF station.
>>1448722who is this character, and why is she the target of so many anons' noncon fantasies?
>>1448736Aeria Charlotte is the faction leader of the UAF mod. Cy, the mod creator, really likes drawing anime girls and that made his mod prime target for the rape train.He also went "they finally got to her, eh?" when someone spilled the beans about the portrait edit, so a few people took that as a greenlight to just go ham with the rape scenarios.
>>1448756Oh. So you starsector guys are horny horny
>>1448764What gave you that impression?
So how is 0.96 so far in terms of mod stability? I kept a backup of 0.95 and all my 0.95 compatible mods until I was sure that the latest version was stable.
>>1448782It's very not stable mostly because mod libraries aren't very stable with it.
You guys are breaking the law
>>1448243>patrol comes at me with 3 executors>well lets see what the fuss is about>they all die without doing anythingoh...
>>1448804>a mod about rape breaks the lawHOLY COW, WHO COULD'VE SEEN THIS COMING
>>1448679>>1448718Setting your faction's 'aggression doctrine' to reckless helps. You'll need to put steady captains on your carriers though.
what the fuck is this new addition to rs?
>>1448804>actually suiciding your forum account to dab on him
>>1448818DON'T DISABLE IT IT CREATES MUSTARD GAS
>>1448812I give it a month tops before their mod is updated to have crash code in it if it detects RS. I don't even care for RS. I just like watching modding drama as Alex shits himself and does nothing, as per usual.
>>1448827also, watching the Starsector discord get their panties in a twist is also pretty hilarious. Godspeed you RapeSector and Sneed modders.
>>1448824its false by default
>>1448818I'M DONEY WITH THE FUNNY
thoughts about NG+ mod? there too many unique ships to play but so little conquest to do
>>1447988Thousand Eyes
>>1448756sounds a bit gay desu
>>1447988bladebreaker still

>>1447988Gryphon, Pegasus, Ziggurat.
>>1448936Would be literally perfect if I could give it an energy sword like the regular version.
I'm too lazy to read, give me the quick rundown on the officer school thing in Armatura.
>>1448380>Combat Chatter makes all of my ships throw AC linesArmored Core, Alpha Centuri, Animal Crossing? You're going to have to be a little more specific...
>>1448985Alternating current.

>>1448804Yeah I'm thinking based. Praise Kek, glory to the Sneed!
>>1448818>>1448832> he doesn't knowHave you paid your taxes anon?
I don't give a fuck about rapemod but I would like to offer my thanks in advance for the inevitable discord drama in the future.It will be very entertaining to witness.
>>1449147why would there be any drama over it
>>1449150Because half the modders of this game have egos the size of the sun.
What's the ship that I can "JUST SPAM" and win against ordo fleets?
>>1449170onslaught
>>1449170Get good
>>1449172Will try, once I get a blueprint.
>>1449170Falcon P
>>1449178Based Falcon (P) enjoyer, the best cruiser in the game.
>>1448380theyve got project wingman and lor lines too
update all my favorite mods thanks in advance
Iron Shell and Commissioned Crews are the last of my 0.95 mods still not updated. The wait is maddening.
>>1449304I just changed CC to .96 in the modinfo and it seems to work fine. The Iron Shell wait is pissing me off though.
>>1449304>>1449317What is iron shell
>>1449325Mod about taxes and you trying to fight off space IRS by any means nessesary. Atleast in simple definition.
>>1449326Some of the ship sprites don't look great, like the XIV armor bits are clearly just an overlay on top of the original
XIV Skysplitter equipped with the Black Hole Generator, my beloved...
While waiting for DIY Planets to update I'm doing a playthrough with UAF as an enemy, and fucking hell that shit is OP. I'm not even talking about the ships, a single small PD gun of theirs is basically a "fuck every missile within this arc" upgrade. Aside from pirating their own ships to use against them, what approach works best? From their tooltips about nukes I'm guessing "facefucking ballistics brawlers" atm.
>>1449361Get in close with your biggest guns and brawl. Their specialty is air superiority and PD saturation. Once you're in knife fighting range their weak armor and sub-par ballistics fall apart. the Semibreves, the nukes as you refer to, are rare and are very brightly highlighted when fired so you have a chance to dodge them.
>>1449334>XIV Skysplitterbased>Black Hole Generatordont know what this is but sounds gay like some super weapon garbage
>>1449364Wow, it's sounds almost balanced. Kind of surprising for a self-insert anime mod.
>>1449374It's not. They still have some capitals that can brawl, and have rare variants with armor plates you have to chew through first. But in a match up with a Paragon or Onslaught, they'll lose most of the time.
>>1449317Oh, good to hear! Thank you brother.
AdMech anon, I've read your PAGSM stuff now, so here's my two cents;>HR Bar EventDon't think this one should be implemented - Yuni has almost no presence in the faction officially, and it seems like the only people really aware of her existence are top brass like Balashi and Mannfred, not some middle manager in HR.>Stealth tech acquisition questNeeds more time to cook. Maybe RSDev could connect it to Raphaela or the Tri-Tach chick from her quest rather than just pointing you in the immediate direction of the item on some ruins.>Kween raidShe's uber paranoid, she should be absolutely fucking pissed about what's happening. Definitely should be fighting back.>Yuni raidShouldn't shoot a marine, or if she does, she fucks up and misses. She's a coward at this point still. When you've gotten all the groundwork done for PAGSM, I'd be willing to go and take a pass at it and rewrite it for RSdev to include in the mod.>>1449361>a single small PD gun of theirs is basically a "fuck every missile within this arc" upgradeThe Weiss? I've tried it and it feels like shit compared to massed vulcans.
>>1449361their small pd are overtuned a bit but the ships and weapons in general are not greatfighters are really strong though
>>1449390the weiss of all sizes sucked atleast in the previous version but he made some changes in the latest onemerupaka and the 2 different reina pd guns are very strong
>>1449404Ah, that would explain the difference. I'm still on the last 0.95 version and am going to be until my fuckhueg modlist is all updated to 0.96. What exactly was done to the Weiss to make it not shit?Also, has anyone fucked around with the Herakles from HMI enough to have a decent build for it? I managed to find a blueprint and the setup for it looks fun.
>>1449390Hmm. Thanks for more indepth view on it writefag. Regarding quests:>HR Bar eventWell I originally thought that SFC would atleast host some list of employees they hired over time of their function. But if not this way then there is always another.>Stealth techYou know potentially connecting this quest to Remnant sex quest line might work very dang good and give it some more function outside of getting exo wombs.>Kween raidAbout her fight back. That was one of hard things for me to come up with. Like the lore tries to paint picture that almost noone knows that she works there overnight. Of course if she is paranoid she might as well constantly look over for example cameras in vicinity of where she is right now or something. Heck she might even call few security officers to the fact that cameras near the lab she is in show nothing but static(On account of Neurostatic tech for stealth suits). But if you got some way she might fight back then feel free to say it.>Yuni raidYeah maybe she should miss, cause like I planned to make this raid atleast suffer some casualties on raiding side(In opposition to kween raid as losing this type of tech would be more problematic to deal with later on) and such. If you want to do it then I cant really stop you from rewriting it writefag. Just wanna ask one more thing due. Could I take some inspiration from your work on Timid personality for Yunifer prisoner? It might speed up making process for her and reduce amount of rewriting later down the line.
>>1449434Almost forgot to mention, I'm pretty sure that the implication is that Yuni lives in the same facility as Kween, not in some external housing facility. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.>Just wanna ask one more thing due. Could I take some inspiration from your work on Timid personality for Yunifer prisoner?Yeah, go ahead.
>>1449438Honestly I have no clue on if she lives in R&D with her or somewhere else. I have no clue, lore of the mod says nothing about it as well. Heck not even trannycord has possible clues for supporting either of possibilities writefag.Even due if we are to take like that one sentence from mannfred at full value then she might live with her or atleast stay there for longer than regular employees.
>>1449441Even due if we both think about it. If kween sees here as failure and a puppet then I think it would be best to atleast keep her out of R&D at night. Like to avoid possibility of her fucking something up and causing unnessesary commotion about what goes on in that complex at night.
>>1449441Only thing that gives me the idea that she lives in the same complex is Yuni contacting you using lab equipment, since Kween interrogates you on the subject. If she had some off-site quarters, she would probably have contacted you from there, not the lab.
>>1449446Hmm. You know maybe employees in the labs are not allowed to take their own private communicators for safety concerns(Its easier to keep taps on equipment that you have on place than in some other place). Like there are company secrets at work nearly all the time so keeping survailence on atleast the lab equipment would be something justified.
I did play Rapesector to perv out but it's pretty great for proving something to do in between waiting to arrive at places during hyperspace travel.
>>1449453or when miningwhich conveniently spawns pirate/pather fleets to kill, which provides captive officers to rape & enslave for extra profit
>>1449418>What exactly was done to the Weiss to make it not shit?oh i dont know if it was an improvement i just read patch notes of the 0.96 version so it may be better than it used to be>Weiss 1, 2 and 3 have been altered slightly>Weiss 2 does not emit secondary micro explosions anymore>Weiss 1 now emit micro explosion in the center of AOE
I haven't played since 0.95, was the skill tree reworked again?
>>1448818It means you should commit more war crimes
>>1449467no.
>>1449495Then I have to wait for yet another mod to update.
BRDY when?Dong when?
>>1449528>BRDYDude quit forever ago. Bootlegs is all we will have. >DongThat faggot will never make anything new ever again.
Lol. Why does he even try?
>>1449548lol he mad
>>1449548First time I have ever seen someone specifically make a more restrictive license for a mod of a game.Makes sense that I would only ever see such faggotry in star sector
>>1449554You know I really think that we should double our game sometime. Just to add more salt to injury.
>>1449548Retard thinks anyone here actually gives a fuck about his license.
pixels = stolenlicense = ignoreddiapers = sharted
>have to use commands just to keep multiple cruisers and battleships from chasing frigates>they're fucking limited
>>1449575i finally had enough of this retardation and disabled fog of war so now the entire fleet doesnt charge after the first frigate they see
>>1449575be better at issuing commands
>>1449575try using a few way points and the rally/defend command initially to organise your fleetrally will have them stick closest, defend is a little looserit can be very command point efficient
>>1449575heres a tipput capture orders on all the objectives near where the fighting is toughestmost of your ships will head there to defend it/take it from the enemyworks 9/10 times for mesometimes some of my ships will even flank around the outside of the main battleline and attack from behind
>>1449575you're trying to micro-manage each ship, aren't you
hello, please help a fellow retard outfrom my understanding if I want some faction from a mod use some ships from other mod all I need to do is make custom file for that faction and place it in the second world/faction folder mod, no?
>Industrial Evolution still hasn't updated yet
>>14496232 more weeks
>>1449606>from my understanding if I want some faction from a mod use some ships from other mod all I need to do is make ccustom file for that faction and place it in the second world/faction folder mod, no?Word salad. You must be vegan.From what I'm getting you want faction A to use ships from faction B (vanilla or modded, it makes no difference).Go in to the faction file of the faction A and look for:"knownShips":{ "tags":["base_bp","tag_a","tag_2"], "hulls":["ship_1" ,"ship_2"], },Then add the desired ships under hulls. This is ok if you're doing a quick and dirty but if you want to be an allstar you can create a new mod with the world/faction folder and create a faction file with the additions. You don't need to copy paste the whole file, just the relevant bits. If you're doing it this way something to note is it's preferable to use tags instead of individual ship hulls. If a specified ship hull is missing the game will crash, but if the tag isn't used/missing it'll still work. It also makes it easier when creating ships because you won't have to add each one manually, as long as you tag them correctly.and FYI, changes to faction files only work when starting a new game.
anyone seen any weird stuff happening with ship/weapon pack in 0.96 since it also has those lions guard variants and im afraid it will fuck with the new vanilla ones
>>1449575USE ESCORTS AND OBJECTIVE/RALLY POINTS
tonight in things that never fucking happenTHE UNTHINKABLE
The Pirates are the last bastion of freedom and creativity in the sector.If humanity is going to be saved it's not going to be by tech-hoarding corporate ghouls, it will be by bubbas banging Atlases together into ghetto-battleships in Kanta's shipbreaking sweatshop slowly rediscovering the principles of shipbuilding without DRM chips and nanoforges.
>>1449673Oh shit, N'wah Tahl is about to patch in another buff for Legio cuckernalis.
>>1448477Used to be a kinda HW:Cataclysm inspired bioship mod in the ancient days.The Scourge or somesuch,
>>1449673you got me excited for a moment but then i realized its just some cuck shed they captured themselvesit is impossible for the ai to capture legio home system and they only serve to ruin every other faction on the map
>>1449687Just have an operative hit their planetary shield when you see an invasion popIt won't work every time but it'll eventually go down and you can start raiding for alpha cores and nanoforges when that happens
>>1449691ive disabled legio for my last 5 playthroughs and my experience improved a lotthey really ruin the game by taking out other factions before i can do anything about itits really strange that noah managed to make such a good mod but completely fucked up the faction itself
>>1449692I'm curious since I hear about legio destroying the map, but I've never had them do too much besides fuck with the persean league and church a little bit, maybe turning 2-3 planets at most, but they generally got taken back or just destabilized altogether and they never really got much of a foothold
>>1449676>slowly rediscovering the principles of shipbuilding without DRM chips and nanoforgesI am not sure if this is possible.There is this thing with technological advancement – as we get further we need to specialize more and more, eventually creating a need for a massive organizations regulating thousands of experts and unique tools. To get to the point when they can produce completely new ships pirate would need to become corporation with nanoforges themselves.
>>1449694imperium got every planet in northern parts of core worlds steamrolled every time with the exception of their capitalchurch gets blown up by legio every time but that also happens to a lesser extent with vic who love using their chemical bombardment on some chuch planetsouter rim alliance also lost many of their planets really early on since they have a bunch of small planets in their systemall of this happened before i could fight legio to help the other factions which is the problem so if they started getting more aggressive later it could be reasonable
>>1449707IIRC I read about being able to change the settings for when they go batshit crazy on invading. Can't quite remember where though...
>>1449699The population to do this already exist, it's just that all the other faction are too entrapped in the pre-existing incentives and assorted mexican standoffs to do anything about the status quo.But at some point the DRM chips and the nanoforges and the AI cores will finally degrade beyond usability and the unwashed barbarians that were making do without any of the above will come out on top.
>>1449711that is with the early daemons off and early aggression off my dude the faction is just shit
>>1449676Say no to DRM chips, say yes to space drug addled unlicensed engineers
To whomever it may effect, if you're running the .95 version of Interstellar Imperium in .96, don't learn the Imperial Armor mod. If you hover over it in the refit screen, your game will crash.
>>1449770Fuck you faggot, I'll do what I wa
>>1449778oh no, he got candlejackedfu
>>1449770WRONG
>>1449642to answer my own question the file from ship/weapon pack seems to override the vanilla one so you need to manually fix it
>>1449499Adjusted skills mod works just fine with just a version number change
>>1449555You haven't seen Soren/Harmful Mechanic shit himself to mod death?
>>1449691>start raiding for alpha cores and nanoforgesI can do that just fine remotely using console commands to open up their planet from anywhere on the mapDidn't even need to disrupt their planetary shieldthe fact their stability can never seem to go down means I can keep raiding their shit for blueprints infinitely
>>1449801ive seen this exact reply before and my question is why would you use console to raid from anywhere on the map
>>1449548What’s he gonna do about it? Call his discord cronies and proceed to shit up the thread or mass report it? Lol.
>>1449548This guy sounds like he REALLY doesn't grasp how the internet works outside of big corpo spaces like Twitter.
>>1449803To not bother with defenders from messing with your fleet while you raid in the comfort of your home
>>1449805It really shows how much of a pussy he is if he wont even add the option to turn prisoners into harvested organs like in the OG captured crews modEven the execute line is short and doesn't elaborate on how you execute them
Alex what the fuck were you thinking.Expanded mags built in allows for this lightshow bullshit to work.That and 1 OP mining lasers.
>>1449810post battle screenshot of lightshow
>>1449812Wish i could. Old run.(Also Nia patched the deathgaze so its no longer the fun burst laser it was.) Current run is Yuri missile fuckery, Those 9k range EMP missiles are the best thing i've ever seen in regards to my anti frigate pilot policy.
>>1449815Most recent screenshot from this one, farming Yuri for their guns.
>>1449548>muh licensesgo create Starsector-tier DRM, faggot.
>>1449819oh right that reminds meI should give weapon & fighter blueprints to pirates so I can loot them from their fleets, while not having to worry about them putting up too much of a fight because they'll still fly garbage ships mounting weapons that aren't good enough to salvage their d-modded hulls' combat capabilities
>>1449826Would do that if i had the blueprints for wbat i want.

>>1449885This too, making Legio ships operate at full capacity even when on player’s hands.
>>1449575Bro just kill them fast. If you have a pair of high tech frigates or destroyers packed with AmB, enemy small ships are melted instantly with no intervention.
>>1449548
>>1449893God, Imagine being such a bitch that you just make things worse for those would plan on using your mod as a base just to try and own a bunch of anons in a Sindrian Lobster fucking forum and failing horribly at it.
>>1449871Find Tracer Tong to cure you.
>>1449871Yeah you'll be fine.
>>1449893someone should reply with the Hood Classic response of “you cared enough to change the license”
>>1449910Someone did
>>1449699>need more specialization to build shipWrong, there is nothing good from trading self sufficiency over efficiency. Specialization and glacticalization(specialization of worlds, connected by gates) caused the current situation of DRM on blueprints and great collapse which the effect is still felt today.Simple and free beats sophistication and control.
Have any of you tried an Arma Armature focused playthrough? How well does the AI handle them?
>>1449923In vanilla the mod would be fine, but with Nex the fleets get big enough that a horde of mechs just don't have the durability for big fights. AI does fine though.
>>1448225emp system with phase kinda trash

>>1449912>kocsucker playing with fire
>>1449933It pulls other phase out of water. A system that forces other to shit their pants is pretty amazing in team fights.
anyone know where to get buckbreakers for 0.96 the ships look cool
>>1449699Underrated post.Even if you skimmed everything superfluous and standardized everything a civilization still need more and more experts to build more sophisticated technology....and eventually come up with the logical conclusion of building AI to replace experts, using rigid building modules as often as possible.>>1449915They were not doing this for efficiency but for control.From the lore The Domain would forbid farm-world from producing tech and forbid forge-world from producing food so that if one of them tried to go independent they could just blockade them with the gates.And the "DRM blueprint" situation is a horrifying but logical result of enforcing private property which would result in a situation with a plutocracy owning roughly everything that matter. Obviously helped that The Domain would not allow open-source construction of spaceship.>self sufficiencyStill applied to the domain entirely as long as the gate system worked and it did for so long they had little warning it could shut down.>>1449712>But at some point the DRM chips and the nanoforges and the AI cores will finally degrade beyond usability...unless one get a nanoforge to build a pristine nanoforges or AI cores.We can only assume in setting that it would require a different kind of system not found in the sector, with not even Remnant having the means to build more Alpha.

>>1449699i casually create things using my home computer that used to require entire departments of experienced workersfor a few grands i can get a CNC mill that will outperform an entire workshop of pre-computerized tooling. and that's without getting one of the fancy models. hobbyists pick up CNC operation quite often these days.the specialization meme is an excuse academics use to cover for their general - and specific - worthlessness
>>1449971Self sufficiency means all the way through, not just domain level only. The whole point is what they are going to do when domain fails their gates or any of their forced service designed to be in control.
>>1449912Alright. I will now play that bastard's mod.
>>1449548>i'm not dumb
>>1449548That faggot really thinks that we gonna post the link to the mod on corvus or something lol.
>>1449986>Self sufficiency means all the way throughYou don't get it,With your logic you could argue that no human is self-sufficient because we need food & air.If the Domain didn't think possible for all gates to cease functioning simultaneously they would consider self-sufficient even if losing a few systems.An IRL analogy would be like planning in case other countries cease existing. Obviously some country could do it, but you might not have all the resources at home to maintain a high level of technology.
>>1449676>>1449699Indeed, that's what the player already does when he sets up a colony (and pirates too). You can create a fully-fledge spacefaring civilization without a nanoforge, it's just more expensive to make ships without one. The blueprints are still necessary, but are either a gameplay abstraction or don't require nanoforges in the first place.

>>1450019Who cares about the self sufficiency that is only on the top level. The idea is how likely a fragment of this small can survive the shattering.To the domain, losing a few worlds is nothing, but to these worlds, their only life line got cut and they are on their own and gonna die from not having enough to live in isolation not even for awhile. What you writed off as changes and scraps on domain level is the entirety of millions of souls. This is the price for a member to pay and it matters to the member more than to the organization. As we are not talking about a nation unable to adapt to some other nation's demise, but a total disconnection to any other nations, we have seen that IRL with suez canal or scamdemic lockdown global traffic and supply chain. The cause of the disruption is not the death of other nations, but the connection itself that powers the globalization. And we are not talking about maintaining technology either, there is first no food, no supply, no book or machine that you can just open and use before going online to verify license at www.ownnothing.com for you to survive.Holyshit the domain left the production chip localized in a licensed disk instead of always requiring connection to the gatecom.net. and they forgot to lock and brick everything that isnt connected to domain.man, including individual suits, hulls, tripad and implants too. what a loophole. None of these niggas should live one day without being connected.

>>1450348Its almost like cloning procedures in Adeptus Mechanicus then. Only exception being the rule about clones being generally 1:1 to original. Very interesting.
>>1450172>Who cares about the self sufficiency that is only on the top level.Are you a pather/anarchist?Again, by your logic a system that do not have farm on every inhabited planet isn't self-sufficient despite able to build spaceship locally.The Domain had plenty of redundancy, but planning in case every single gates go spontaneously offline was as ridiculous as betting every IRL boats/aircrafts would disappear, or that impassable walls will appear between farms and cities even within the arbitrary borders of a nation.Hell, I maybe there was also "Hyperspace Change" deniers, claiming that any risk over the gates system are lies from Green-corporation who want to force every planet to grow food.There's was not even strata to consider a "top" in the Domain, no planet had everything you need to be "The Domain", the nanoforge didn't built everything, some planets were just specialized and no one though that every system should be able to build their own gates.Also a reminder that in the setting their industries inevitably pollute life-bearing planets.>Holyshit the domain left the production chip localized in a licensed disk instead of always requiring connection to the gatecom.net. and they forgot to lock and brick everything that isnt connected to domain.man, including individual suits, hulls, tripad and implants too. what a loophole. None of these niggas should live one day without being connected.Are you being sarcastic or injurious? Elysium refYour idea isn't even a good way to maintain absolute control, just like self-sufficiency you want alternative control method in case someone hijack Domain.man and change the name of the Omega-Emperor to Ludd or something.

>>1450326It was intended as a challenge to see how far remnant farming optimization can be taken logically. 2 min clearspeed isn't that impressive to me if I have to fly a ship to achieve it. And slow afk farming is trivial at this point.Also I like to make mockeries of what scrubs consider hard in games. It's funny how much seething that causes.

Good afternoon, I hate the legio troonfernalis.
i like to max out battlesize to 1000, but it tivializes some premade fights, like hypershunts.Is there a solution?
If I were to make a "you cannot win" 'faction, what would be good ways to make 'them' interesting or fun to engage with?
>>1450354I will check this out, thank you.
>>1450403The solution is to bring a smaller fleet to the hypershunt. You could also spawn extra tesseracts.
>>1450352Depends. Works best on long exploration trips where your main loot comes from salvaging stations. Works well if you fight a lot of big fleets. Not worth if you do neither. It's something you bring if you like to take risks with your logistics ships' limits. Make sure you understand the diminishing returns of the salvage gantries if you decide to try them.
what fleet should I bring to terminate this remnant nexusthey're floating over my 75% hazard water world
Nia needs correction
>>1449543Never is a very long time my friend.
>>1450404For every ship/fleet you destroy, theres an another appearingBut they are all Freighters/tankers with nigh-zero offensive potential and some gimmicks (fast and evasive, flying brick, long ass phase, *teleports beihnd your back* when it gets hit by a front gun...), so they are basically loot pinatas you cant win or lose against. You fight/raid them as long as you can, with you being your own worse enemy, and they will just go on with their life as if nothing happened. You literally cannot win, but you also cannot lose.Also, some of the loot is booby trapped/infected some way so its not always worht to keep it.Say, they are half-aware grey goo that absorbed, then took the place of a peaceful trade system. They are not actually ships, so you are not "destroying" them, you just stir up/disperse the goo-blob, after which it reforms and carries on like nothing happened. They continue ferrying shit across the sector, but sometimes the cargo itself is grey goo, so your big haul of grade A lobsters, after consumption. reform into intact lobsters. Noone can manipulate the goo to take on actual useful forms, or do their bidding, but they can stick actual cargo into transports just fine for some free shipping, hence the actual loot.
>>1450436>they are basically loot pinatas you cant win or lose against.That sounds like a good incentive to fight them off.

Gates are not open water. If a strait gets blocked it just seperates the continents, while china will can reach japan, this downing of gates is equivalent of ocean turning into acid and air turns to dust storm or all process and transaction fail because society moved so far into digital-only world. And of course it is the moloch ai capable of controling the gates to sodom.>muh fragile food planet specializationYou can have space lamps, infinite reactor energy, build station like its nothing, keep men alive long enough with fresh air and pressure while fighting, that you can't build a box in space to grow vegetable that has been taking sunlight, suppling food and taking in refuse of animals since forever?

How long would you last? If your phone(or any 21st century device) broke, or the crop/animal you have been raising has been wiped out due to a plague/drout, where do you get a new one? Could you jerry-rig up a radio (99% you have the requirements in your home) right now?

Not necessarily, ofc, there are niggas in farmsteads that had a head-start due to their past, but guess who will get visited first by the aforementioned smucks, who, after taking over will run the place to shit, doing irreplaceable damage?
>>1448581Ultra what? Do tell?
>>1450475>isn’t all that added by a mod and not canon.>what are colony items????Nta, but no, this is all base game stuff. The colony special items are basically fucking magic in how they work. Some straight up admit in their description that they casually violate basic principles of physics.Finish your vanilla playthrough if you’re gonna make confident proclamations about canon, the fact that omega is unexplainable isn’t bordering on cosmic horror because “muh advanced AI shenanigans”, it’s because we’re talking about a society who only 200 years ago was tapping stars like fucking maple trees for cheap energy, having their best minds struggling to wrap their brains around what they’re looking at.
>>1450447>clearly hacked all of the gate networks just like it is a website or server as well, and dies or hijacked like muh not effective way of control.>nor are gates are available for local travels between ones in core worlds.Anon, you are making shit up about stuff the lore directly contradict you on.The damn campaign have you use a gate using a modified hyperdrive.Just because you don't want to admit that as far as the Domain was concerned, the Gate were reliable and had no reason to shutdown.Given Alex inspiration it's likely that cosmic force/monster are linked to the gate network deactivation.You want a better analogy? The big nation on Earth are not preparer for a massive solar storm destroying a fuckton of electronic, we take the sun's for granted. Hopefully no aliens will come and make it blow up.>muh science do everything if it suit me, even if the lore contradict me.The sector is dying off slowly, the only sources of food they have are world terraformed pre-collapse.As other anon pointed out, maybe you could reinvent everything, if you still have the manpower and maybe the current population isn't enough even if you kept faction from killing each others.Maybe IRL we will never leave Earth before we become capable of replacing our entire biosphere, but it's harder than it look you can't just grow potatoes on Mars providing just heat, water & UV.In StarSec setting they clearly aren't capable of growing foods everywhere, obviously in that setting GMO-producing companies would also hard-code their patented GMO food to only grow well on the planet you've bought a license for.Read the damn lore.https://fractalsoftworks.com/2017/08/16/a-true-and-accurate-history-of-the-persean-sector/
>>1450479>Some straight up admit in their description that they casually violate basic principles of physics.Nta, no gonna disagree on that. I wish the devs didn't go so silly with some of those technobabble
>>1450483What are you disagreeing on exactly? I’m not stating an interpretation of the game’s writing here, I’m stating a fact of it.>”A quantum computer that violates the second law of thermodynamics by getting colder instead of hotter while performing computations.”It can’t really be any more blatant.You’re free to think it’s shit writing or whatever, that’s fine. Thing is, I wasn’t making statements about the quality of the writing, only bringing up what was directly and unambiguously stated.
>>1449390AdMech anon here, Writefag I did make small changes to the quests and added some commentary/ideas into it. I did as well temporarly scrapped one quest.

It's always fun seeing people argue about lore because Alex and David couldn't make a concrete one for us.
>>1450479Huh, i guess i remembered wrong, sorry.But my points still stand, and the 200 years of separation just amplifies it: The guys who were tapping stars didn't do it with centuries old hand-me-downs, and were the first to get their shit pushed in when it became survival of the fittest. The only "smart" guys remaining who could even have an inkling of how it might have worked, are the descendants of the few surviving nerds who were kept as pets by warlords and probably fought over (think post ww2 german scientists), whose only lifeline is the knowledge they have, so they are not keen on sharing it. They are also prime targets for their benefactors opposition, aiming to weaken the other, so they wouldn't exactly broadcast it, if they (re)found a critical piece of tech, in fear of getting smacked for it. If they are actually the warlords, then they are the ones with the incentive to capture or kill every other "smart guy" in the sector, and limit the public knowledge in order to monopolize it.Meanwhile the average domain citizen who spoke 3 languages and had libraries worth of info to tap into through their neurolink, to whom hypershunts were like fire hydrants, have been replaced by nigh illiterate plantation workers, salvage crews, "sailors", whose highest aspirations is to get the fuck away form whatever ground or space borne ghetto they are stuck in.
>>1450489I'm NOT disagreeing over what you refer in your quote, some of the tech is literally magic, beside FTL of course.More the reasons why the sectors wasn't capable of understanding all the lost technologies.
>>1450501>I’m disagreeing with you on another point.Then why’d you greentext that section?>the sector’s lost technologiesI don’t think I talked about that. I mentioned omega which is less lost and more unknown.My thoughts on why the Persian sector doesn’t understand lost technology is simply the people who invented and understood that shit never turned up because why would they? The gate network is a fast travel system which meant they didn’t need to. The Persian sector really is full of homesteaders - might be well enough educated, but the people at the absolute pinnacle of their field are going to be few and far between, if any at all.
>>1450312>Now imagine whats the baseline for a spaceworthy vessel that eats antimatter for breakfast.In-game you can set up a system of self-sustaining colonies able to do everything the sector does without ever seeing a nanoforge. This isn't even in question.
What even is the player to his colonies?President for life? Majority shareholder?How do you keep a bustling nation of a dozen planets under control?Why don't your planet governors ever organize a coup/secession/hegemaidan when you fuck off to uncharted space to do murderhobo things for half a year?Internal policy expansion when?
>>1450396>so I guess we have 3 main styles for sneedault-chuckoyan/buck breaker shipsThe "plan" for what it's worth is to give Sneed and Chuck their own style of ships. The when anon makes a full faction out of them they can be assigned to separate task forces like the Lion Guard/Regulars.Now if you don't mind, Chuck needs a destroyed and Sneed needs a Cruiser...

>>1450506I don't disagree with you at all, so let's just say I quoted your original post on a misunderstanding.
>>1449810What portrait pack are you using anon?

>>1450514There are "built in" assumptions in colonies of having access to irreplaceable items, like having basic blueprints (the nanoforges just improve production, you can build stuff without them, but even for that you need a blueprint according to descriptions), the farms importing viable staring-seed-stock, etc... and by default i don't think its possible to have every required base material on a planet, so no one colony can be self suntanning, and at that point all it takes is the loss of the spaceport to trigger a planet-sized collapse, possibly forever forfeiting the irreplaceable stuff used there (think of how easy it would be to have no more lobsters).To truly start from scratch, to "reach the baseline" is to be able to replicate/replace those irreplaceable items that keep the sector ticking. Because that is the true indicator of the sectors decay: there are a number of limited commodities that WILL run out, and how much of it is left. The folly of its inhabitants is that instead of seeking/researching/building alternatives, they cling to it to them till the end, and the game is around the time of the tipping point to where there's enough left to tide over till a solution is found, but the search for it must be started and intensified now.

Don't forget Chicomoztoc and its massive population. Are you telling me you can't imagine people thinking some lone faction popping up out of nowhere (Already a feat in itself, in a stagnating sector) wouldn't strike the same sense of Gold Rush / New World colonization? They're willing to stay in the most dangerous planets for Hazard Pay, so think if on top of that it's a 50% hazard Terran planet. I'm rather surprised these colonies don't grow faster as is.

>>1450576out of date but overpowered since it lets you build ANY planet type(except the ones added by unknown skies) while boggled's still has his shitty spyware
>>1450515I think its more like the a shadow govrement/illuminati kind of thing. You found a colony, appoint a governor to be democratically elected and loved/hated the masses, while you keep him on board by either letting him play king or the threat of blackmail/replacement, with the contrition that you get to make the important calls and be the colonys lovable philanthropist. As long as he keeps shit running, and you doing the actual hard work, its a mutually beneficial agreement.

>>1450767sure they'll be under control. just not yours.
>>1450515Really depends on how you LARP it. By default each colony is effectively a company town/corporate entity. You paid for the initial settlement, contracted the colonists, and directly control what major industries are built. Commerce industry gives negative stability because you encourage independent business beyond your direct control. If you fuck off for cycles presumbly there are standing orders or you send updates by the occasional Comm Relay.
>>1450772>Like all AI, each alpha was watched, controlled, and ruthlessly eliminated at the first sign of disloyalty.
>>1450766but the cheat mods are there to make the game difficult
As far as I'm concerned I only have two friends, my AI cores and of course the Independents
>>1450764Been there, done that. Phase fleets are easymode.>>1450766I was looking for mods and challenge ideas to make the game harder.Already running Starship Legends with heavy buffs to enemy fleets, Ruthless Sector without XP bonus and Nomadic Survival with forced drive field anomaly.
Did you tell guy in shrine that you are supporting AI laws?
Fielding AI Cores does not have enough drawbacks.Using AI cores should come with (un)expected results, such as Remnant Fleets becoming larger/more powerful and start doing incursions into Hyperspace and the Core worlds (your Cores are secretly diverting resources from your colony to Remnant fleets.AI Cores give powerful bonuses but in exchange drive the Sector closer into a Third AI War by progressing a secret event reinforcing and strengthening the Remnants to their previous might, both in the fringes of the sector and in newly-occurring Remnant subversion events in core worlds.Eventually the Remnants would consolidate into their own factions colonizing worlds and start expanding, and it's to the player who unleashed them and the rest of the factions (if they've survived so far) to put a stop to them, or allow the sector to be consumed by the Servants of Moloch.
I trust my ai to make me money
>>1450799>AI is bad because it just is... okay?I dunno what's worse, Hegemonkeys butthurt someone's more powerful or literal Luddites.

>>1450799>Remnant Fleets becoming larger/more powerful and start doing incursions into Hyperspace and the Core worldsThat's just Ruthless Sector + Nexerelin. You can also join the remnants and colonize for them. Anyways, Alex made the whole event system for "endgame" so something is going to happen, but not what you think.

>>1450532Where is this portrait from?
>>1450563The growth rate is ridiculous you'd visibly depopulate other faction and why would you consider credible peoples joining a completely unknown faction, in the middle of nowhere, led by another diktator admiral?Your captain is almost a nobody (likely made the news for the tutorial), even becoming famous by using a gate isn't much credential to lead a colony, on the opposite it mean you took the same risk that could have destabilized jump point again. Not counting your reputation with other factions.You'd need serious street creed to be followed, at minimum finding a 100% class IV planets, taking it from Remnant, rescuing ten thousands future colonists stuff...etc>a feat in itself>1000 Crew, 200 Supplies, and 100 Heavy MachineryPlease, the game mechanic don't even begin to convey that feeling.>>1450837I never said you need a nanoforge, I'm saying the other factions don't mind you producing every of their design and found lost template of everyone else.I also find kinda cheesy to just find template of literally an entire faction.It's a good thing the Ziggy at least attract attention for being unique.

i haven't played starsector since the update that added all the story stuff, and this academy shit looks pretty fucking boring to me. is there any reason why i shouldn't use nexerelin's skip story setting? does it break anything, does it fuck up progression, does it lock me out of any rewards?
>>1451006All skipping story does is unlock some locations with cool loot that you otherwise unlock by doing the story, you can still go back and actually complete the missions if you really want to learn the lore.
>>1451006>does it lock me out of any rewards?No, it skips all the story stuff and gives you the rewards directly. I'd recommend doing the story at least once though.
>>1451009you can also just blatantly metagame some of the locations if you just want the rewards and fights

The breeding facility should display how much stability it subtracts before build like commerce so you don't have to build it to see.
>>1451006the story is a couple of fetch quests and 2 battles it takes a couple of hours
>>1450856I just divide the sector up into 4 quadrants, with Hybrasil being 0,0 and write down the quadrant, constellation, system, and planet where appropriate. Not perfect, but it makes finding things a lot easier than scanning the entire sector.
It looks like today is my lucky day.
>>1450902>The growth rate is ridiculous you'd visibly depopulate other factionPopulations in starsector are listed in orders of magnitude. Chicomoztoc is size 8, meaning the population is on the order of 10^8 or hundreds of millions. There are fewer than 10 size 7 worlds (10 of which would be roughly equivalent to a size 8), fewer than 10 size 6 (10 of which would be roughly equivalent to a size 7), a few dozen size 5 and 4, etc. There are more people living on Chicomoztoc than on every other planet in the core worlds combined.The highest population player colonies can reach is size 6. Chicomoztoc alone could provide you with enough people to settle on the order of 100 max size colonies. It could provide enough to settle on the order of 100,000 size 3 colonies. A player colony growing from size 3 to size 6 in a few years due to immigration is a drop in the bucket.
You should be able to purchase businesses or set up trade fleets for passive income like in Bannerlord
>>1451041I really think this is mostly handled by you making your own Colony, and having independent and faction traders work for it providing and purchasing goods from them.The one issue with that idea is that, unlike M&B's overworld map, the whole Sector isn't a simulator at the same time (due to performance issues). Only places near where the player is located are simulated.M&B you can have situations where a Caravan is ambushed and destroyed by bandits or enemy factions. Simulating this would be an issue in Starsector unless you implemented this as some kind of random event where your trade fleets are destroyed or they run into some kind of embargo/system blockade and need rescuing escorting back into hyperspace.
>>1450690>Elite Elite WingWhat the fuck. And with UAF it's "Wing Wing". Why can't they get this shit right??
>>1451050I just assumed it was some chinkshit run through google translate, given how horrendous the ship description is.>Just hearing the name already sparked ominous ploys that will sometime become the last word ever heard to parts of the galaxy.
>>1451041Man, I wish there was more to the economic side of the game outside of "buy low at point A, sell high at point B".Everyone sells marines and heavy armaments to the Path, everyone runs fuel/volatiles to-fro Sindria and Umbra.Something like making tariffs dynamic and affected by outside factors (that isn't player reputation) instead of a rigid 30% would possibly alleviate the issue to some degree.
>>1451038>500 flux dissipationinto the market it goes
>>1451050>And with UAF it's "Wing Wing"ive never noticed this before and now that i checked ingame they work just fine but on codex its wing wing lmao
>>1450524>spontaneous generation of colonists7 of the worlds in the Core sector have a variation of the phrase "swarmed by refugees". Port Tse's description talks about how TriTach evicted most of the people when they took over.It's safe to say that any new colony is going to be swarmed by people desperate for a home, especially if it's a habitable world or the player is paying 'hazard pay'.
how do i paragon
>>1451039It's funny how Chicomoztoc skews the sector's demographics in the Hegemony's favor. Opis had a population in the billions before it was turned into an asteroid belt.
>mod the settings so s mods don't cuck me out of bonus xp according to ship class>changing the xp multiplier for capital ship s mods doesn't even do anything, it's always 0
>>1451076>Tri-Tachyon 0.7%And then you remember 99.99% of their people are slum-dogs or wage-slaves.
>>1451076Also makes you wonder where the hell all those pirates and pathers keep coming from. With what the numbers should be, the Hegemony could probably use human wave tactics with mercury shuttles to kill every single pather/pirate and still come away mostly unscathed.
>>1450556>dealing with the defense takes more effort than its worthplaying vanilla I haven't had a single problem with my system. occasionally have to swing by a pirate/pather base on the way back/forth but thats it. people were bitching about hostile activity so I was worried but this has been the easiest its ever been for colonies.

>>1451085Sure they called up all the auxiliaries and armed civilian ships, but I don't think it was quite as extreme as I was envisioning for the pirate situation. Plus TT actually had warships that weren't rust buckets held together by duct tape and cum.
>>1451079I figure they come from decivilized pops. Ship lands, offers a meal a day and a place to sleep and they get thousands of new recruits.
>>1451074you use 4 gravitons and phase lances now for beam synergy. or just use your gravitons to support quad plasma instead of ion beams.

What's the point of spending story points on breaking prisoners to enslave? It seems like it's best to just enslave ones up to level 4.

Thoughts on Roider Union and Prv? I need a faction for a new playthrough. I really like the aesthetic of the former, but their ships seem somewhat weak. On the other hand, Prv's aesthetic is pretty whack, but they have very interesting and fun weapons.
>Most LPCs are High-Tech.There's only 1 High Tech Carrier in the game but multiple Low-Tech and Midline ones.
>>1451168
>>1451168You're supposed to use Remnant LPCs anyway.
>>1451161Roiders are a little underpowered compared to all the snowflake factions, but they're still a step up from vanilla and they scatter friendly bases throughout the sector like pirates do. Their Ranch cruisers are my favorite carrier cruiser, they've got four bays for 22 DP, the only catch is two of them are (fairly capable) built-in drone wings. Their brawler ships are underwhelming, you're better off getting an apogee or something.
>>1451171>>1451172I know, but I don't understand why there are no Destroyer or Cruiser High-Tech carriers.

Hey RSDev, just a heads up that Ruka's interactions are a little fucky. It keeps switching between the PAGSM TNP interaction Ruka already has, and the Officer talk menu you've written, so it's like a 50/50 shot of whether the game thinks I'm trying to talk to Ruka as an officer or a prisoner.
>>1451189so which mods are "RS compatible"/ have source material?
My will to continue my ArmaA playthrough just went out the window once I realized the Watchdog is bugged to be missing it's left-side armament. It's just a single destroyer, but it's also one of the few ships from that mod that won't spontaneously explode during a fleet battle.
>>1451192So far PAGSM is the only mod that had some interaction with TNP. And since Rapesector is built off TNP, any interactions with TNP will pass over to RS. That does make me wonder of we're going to have to run both RS and TNP to avoid missing out on interactions that modders add in the future.

>>1451039>orders of magnitudeI'm sure sure it make it easy to write but it lead to ridiculous imbalance if you spitball numbers as shown by >>1451076.Population does equal power, even if the Hegemony is space-Chino/Russia with 50% of the population being peasants holding them down, with the population wishing to leave because the Hegemony might be the one who used a planet killer on Opis, I see no reason the Hegemony don't just steamroll everyone else by sheer influence.And even if Tri-Tac are the meme of a tech cabal, overcoming the disparity in manpower mean their AIs really replace a population the size of the Hegemony, and in the lore Tri-Tac did try to invade Chicomoztoc. Tri-tach fleet should in fact be 90% AI ships.The numbers just feel wrong, not good to maintain a status quo.>>1451068They are overcrowded yes but it doesn't mean it credible to siphon a tenth of everyone's population and become their equals.Especially since you'd be getting the worst refugee, those who didn't have any special talents.The instant colony meme really only stand if you play the Cryosleeper card. Discovering Million of people who do not know where they belong and will gladly stay with the other cryosleeper they know (and who may have lost knowledge), and you'll still need street cred.>>1451199NTA but look at the population of Askonia, and consider Opis was their capital.Comparing with other faction, Opis would have been from a quarter to as populated as the rest. Whoever used a Planet Killer killed a fraction of the Persean sector.

What's this I hear about Java 8? Wasn't available to my knowledge during the last update, does it help much with AMD performance?
>>1451436IDK about AMD, but try it out anyway... Here you go.https://www.reddit.com/r/starsector/comments/rvrn1c/comment/hr77htq/
>>1451436>Wasn't available to my knowledge during the last updateJava 8 is from 2014. Literally so fucking old that it's not supported anymore.The difference between Starsector's Java 7 VM and any newer JVM is massive, your hardware doesn't matter.Sadly you can't update straight to the latest JVM, but Starsector is completely compatible with Java 8.

Now that the Invictus exists, will the modding autists start allowing flagship capitals to ACTUALLY be powerful and not just heavy slow wastes of DP? Looking at you Matriarch

>>1451764just find a tap and use the kill cheat to destroy one of them (and spawns)it's a little tedious to hit all the fighters but it's still the best way if you don't want to write some convoluted runcode command
Putting some more work into Reckless before I leave for work - opinions on her intercepting your actions and then doing them to you instead? IE, having her headpat the player when the option is selected.
>two lg energy>one lg synergy>three med missiles>12 small energy>two flight decks>good speed and movement system>280op>only costs 45dpThe only reason the Odyssey hasn’t been nerfed to the ground is that nobody can find the one of the fuckers to begin with.

I hope Alex adds low-tech and midline superships to match the Hyperion. The Valorous is peak fun and actually pretty balanced without Aquila Reactor Protocols.
>>1451885Whats the QRD on this? I was always led to believe that the damage calculations inherently favored single instances of high damage over lots of little shots
>>1451867>can only use it if you salvage it>and then only if you have the automated ships skill, which is at the end of a skill line>and you can't put an officer on it without tanking CR>you can't pilot it yourself unless you spend even more skillpoints in tech and also waste OP, on two ships
>>1451894Chaingun shits out so many little shots you need to go really big to compete with it.
>>1451894it doesnt matter if you got chainguns which are the highest damage weapons in the entire game and also happen to have exactly 450 range which is the range penalty with SO
>>1451894AAF chainguns don't care about your armor
>>1448649That's just not true? You just go to the ??? system and fight it and recover after, then ask her to switch ships from the context menu. Maybe you need the skill since it's automated?
>>1451906you got ships confusedhe has the cruiser from ??? but asked about the capital on his image which isnt in yet
Diable Arma is one of the best things I ever downloaded holy shit gun kata mech is fun as fuck
>>1451398>>find 3 XIV Legions in 10 minutesIf you found normal Legion that would fit the lore, but XIV... rare legendary special snowflake should stay rare.
>>1451785They're basically XIV and AI tech fused together in a one off custom job... somehow done by a bunch of Hegs cutoff without logistic support. >>1451790Mousing over the restore option when at a market shows it.
>>1451894>(armor) damage calculations inherently favored single instances of high damage over lots of little shotsThat's true.But it's more like railgun (100 kinetic dmg) can do something about armor while light needler (50x15 kinetic dmg) won't despite both having similar dps.Rapidly hitting armor for 150 (75 HE) damage is sufficient against almost anything except ships with over ~1.5 armor - hegemonke/xiv tanks, radiants or modded ships.Loose rule of thumb: You can smoothly handle armor 10x bigger than your damage/hit. 15x is too much. I like to run ships with loads of ion pulsers (90 energy dmg) and you really feel when you hit the spot where you can barely pierce the minimum armor. Until that point everything just melts faster than you can blink but above that your damage just falls off. For an ion gatling build with all damage boosting skills, venture (1250 armor) is right on the cusp between rapid kills and minimum armor reduction catching most of your damage.
>>1451912XIV ships are not meant to be rare legendary special snowflakes, though.All post-collapse domain warships in the persean sector belonged to the 14th battlegroup. Basically all of Hegemony. Only new ships produced after the collapse don't.Now, if you found a 6th battlegroup ship, that'd be rare.
>>1451912Ah yes the meme legions
>>1451916Doesn't that just mean a chaingun ship is hard locked into never fighting anything above its weight class?
>>1451932Nah, just against certain ships (which are generally big ones).
>>1451932lp brawler with chainguns mogs cruisers like eagle with ease
>>1451939LP? IP?
>>1451920what the fuck is the 6th battlegroup
>>1451946luddic path
>>1451920Wonder if Onesimos Loke was from a battlegroup or just regular Dominion garrison forces gone rogue. His invasion was the big thing that weakened the Hegemony and triggered the 2nd AI war, but there's little evidence left of what he did. Beyond no functioning colonies outside the core that is.
>>1451932Kinda? It's bad against heavy armor and good shields. So everything that matters. Omega, remnants, even hegemony penis inspector fleets. It can melt pirate trash just fine and weaker "proper" capitals like Odyssey or Retribution.It's just fun. Chainguns+SO+AAF satisfies that primal need for dakka.Meanwhile ion pulsers wreck shields and EMP the rest even if they can't melt the hull through the minimum armor. Also energy weapon mastery is a great combo with SO.Surprisingly, energy might be better at this brawler dakka thing than ballistics.
>low on supplies but more than enough to arrive back at base>go dark, autopilot, run to kitchen quickly to grab a snack>knocked off course, clearly knocked into multiple storms, 100 supplies leftAbsolute trash "feature."

Maybe. I don't know. Maybe it fills a niche a well tuned Onslaught can do better. But I do know this ship and its weapons seem far more effective than you'd think from their descriptions.

>>1451908>which isnt in yet?It is in though?You can only fight it but not keep it though
>>1451807>engage and harassment orders are much more reserved, but there's no way to assign ships to themThere is, but it's not quite as obvious as you would expect. When you set an eliminate/engage/harass order it basically puts a marker on the enemy ship that tells your ships "hey, somebody come do this task", and a few of your ships will automatically take it up. You can assign specific ships to that task by right clicking, and you can have ships abandon the task by selecting them and pressing "s", to explicitly tell them to have no particular task.

The tranny's acting pissy again.
>>1452000He's going wild telling other people how to make their mods and play their game. It's really something.
Hyperspace storms are a great tool to filter absentminded retards
>>1451693because you can't trust your AI ship to reliably commit in a fight without decisive number superiority or NOT to commit suicide if their target retreat behind covers.i sidestep all the pussyfooting will they wont they peer engagement by leaving the tedium of manning a battleline to the AI and captain a monitor then pull 5-6 of their ships away, eating their valuable flux and missiles, exposing their engines in case an enterprising frigate comes around, and my fleet gets to gang up on what's left of their fleet.a monitor allows your retard fleet to operate, survive and win fights where it would have otherwise wiped, you can only really understand the beauty of the ship once you push a heron into your fleet's line of fire while tanking an onslaught, 2 eagles and 2 dominators all at once without breaking a sweat, then body block 2 harpoon salvos for your overextended piece of shit Hammerhead and literally shove it out of harm's way as it ate 2 salamanders and got flamed out, for ot to finally survive and rejoin the battleline as a productive member of the fleet.

I suck at being captain of large ships. The only way I know how to play is as a vigilance class frigate using expanded reaper racks to kamikazi enemy destroyers shields and using the fast-loading rack ability to immediately follow up with another torpedo or two on the overloaded hull. I just use this little guy to zip around the battlespace applying pressure where it's needed. I don't know how you guys manage to successfully pilot capitals, seems really challenging to micromanage all those different weapon groups.
What are those named AI you guys keep talking about and putting in ships? Are they from a mod or some of that story content I've never bothered with?
>>1452076i put every weapon on one group and if mass firing every gun on my ship doesnt one shot an enemy capital i restart my run

>>1452076Guns on autofire, torps selected and launched manually.Nearly any ship from frigates to capitals can be flown like this.Massively overfluxed capitals with a ton of guns in every direction like Onslaught are best left to officers since they have more options for managing their weapons than player controls allow.

>>1452099He's obviously excused because he was just drunk and messing around. Obviously.

How badly do your colonies get fucked by being out in the sector fringe? Finding a good system near the core worlds to colonize feels fucking impossible.
>>1452108Barely matters, the biggest malus comes from negative rep with everyone because they send multiple AI theft and raiding fleets every year.
>>1452108>fucked by being out in the sector fringeIn 0.95 you get like, 15 ~ 20% accessibility debuff, not too bad. This also added travel time to any fleets coming to and from your backwater colonies (Relief, Raid, etc.). Can't tell you about 0.96 changes.>Finding a good system near the core worlds to colonize feels fucking impossiblePlay Duzahk / Penelope's Star Gacha.
>>1450583Me talking to my marines as I pick the "Meet her in person" option.
>>1452108Accessibility is literally a multiplier to everything, second only to hazard rating in importance.But it doesn't matter much as long as you have a system with a gate and a couple of good planets for self-sufficient in-faction imports.Habitable world with farming/light industry/commerce/wildcard.No-atmo world with refining/heavy industry/fuel production/wildcard.Ideally the habitable main world should be hot and host your high command, while the other should have all 4 types of mining, but these two can be swapped. But you rarely find a planet setup good enough so you probably have to settle 3 planets instead.
>restarted my run just to use rapesector>restarted it again just to use tahlan shipworks, to rape nia
>>1452108Very important, if you go out far enough you get ridiculous access penalties. Access directly affects how many goods you can import/export AND the amount of money you get from exporting so it's extremely important.
>>1452077>Even Cy has a drawfag who draws lewds for himHe wants us to rape his characters, I know it!

>>1452126RS dev doesn't seem to want to make raped portraits for Nia...
>>1452143Just rip out the relevant ship files and make a stand-alone ship mod for it like I did.
>>1452139It happens even in vanilla. Terran eccentric planets are most likely to have all 4, but you can't use mantle bores.All in all you're better off without volatiles and colonizing a good gas giant for that eventual 10 volatile need.
>>1451962just get better at designing ships lmao, the Executor is easily one of the best capitals in the game
>>1452131Several. Unfortunately, one of them is into shota, which he is actively shipping.
>>1452127How ridiculous is ridiculous? >>1452118 says it's about 20%, which seems manageable.
>>1452125>putting your domain artifact boosted high command on a planet which can get high command supply requirements disrupted instead of putting it on the planet with refining/heavy industry/fuel production
>>1452077I am going to have obscene amounts of sex with her.>>1451848>picrelMan, I wish I could find some good shit with onee-sans without having to deal with fucking shota nonsense.>>1451834>>1451858Cool, will keep this in mind for when I do Yandere too.
>>1452150lmao
>>1452157>I wish I could find some good shit with onee-sans without having to deal with fucking shota nonsenseIt is fucking irritating.
>>1452077>>1452157>Halfway through the UAF Queen break optionsGive me time. I'll make it a reality.
>>1452157can you make sure to add dialog options that let the player shove his face into big tomboy tits (and thighs, too)
>>1452154Like I said it works both ways. There's a negligible chance of that ever becoming a problem. But aiming for full mining on the habitable planet will severely limit potential planet candidates and also limit your ore/rare_ore/organic production/exports by 3 units and farming by 2 units.
>>1452157Onee-sans are a shit fetish so it's only natural that it's paired with another shit fetish.
>>1452150>no d-mod for an executorHull restoration?
>>1452173its a dmod like any other unless it was changed in rc10
>>1452167I'm actually putting in additional sex interacts in the form of a handjob, thighjob, and titfucking as a way to push myself further content wise, but I'll keep this in mind.>>1452152I believe said shotard artist is the one that got posted. I'm going to make Aeria in Koikatsu at some point and just make a bunch of porn with her to counterbalance his shit taste.>>1452164Unabashedly based.>>1452169To each their own, I guess.
>>1452173>>1452175Hull Restoration skill won't fix intentional d-mods like Stupid Sindrian Shit, you have to pay for restoration operation at a dock.
>>1452178i mean regular restoration for money is way more accessible than hull restoration so im glad you can just pay
>>1452178Or just use this little mod that anon made. Special Modifications is no longer a d-mod and you get the OP for solar shielding back. Glory to the Sindrian Diktat.https://files.catbox.moe/edb5aq.zip
>>1452153I just checked a habitable world near the edge of the sector. 8% isolation penalty, 30% my faction just decided to attack Hegemony for no good reason penalty.
Loved the result of using a story point on this Pather fleet.
>>1452185>attack Hegemony for no good reasonThere is no bad reason to attack the Hegemony.
