Just land legit and sell black and then don't carry anything illegal. What are they gonna do? Send the tax accountant picket after you? If you balance it with a smaller portion of legit tariffs the reputation balance is usually neutral.

Only reason to use an Atlas is because you need a 3rd or 4th Capital ship on short notice to take out a station (incidentally I'm about to go grab 2 and take out some Pather stations)

Man, this game is hard. Bought it, played through the tutorials and moved on to the missions (glad to see this is a thing bc i was more invested in the space battles rather than the trading stuff) and I can barely scrape by on the medium ones. Any tips for a beginner or do i just need to git gud?

modded or normal?

memeing aside, the real reason is that I like fighting the Imperium but not piloting their stuff.

diable avionics is fighter centered, but i'm more partial to the interestellar imperuim hulls because they tend to be a mix of fighter carriers. Any combination of those should do you good.

Stick them into your industries and structures then.

Yeah thats basically it, don't fuck with the vanilla files unless its the configs. even then look up what things do first.

You just have to take the folder that the mod data is in and just put it into the "mods" folder, then make sure its turned on when you boot up the launcher.

And also appreciating that junker low tech life. Pirates and skullpainted ship welcome too.

There are even more people petty enough to do that? That kind of stuff makes it sound fine to just modify and redistribute their mods without permission at this point.

So I'm stuck. I'm not strong enough without getting my shit pushed in from the 150k bounties and station missions but too large so taking the smaller ones since it costs more to fly over and engage then they are worth.

no but you can buy/salvage ships that had that done by pirates, or get blueprints to make those same modified ships
hull mods can also let you do creative shit like turn a freighter into a carrier

Only one or two modders did it. I wouldn't start doing that, modders are fragile and tend to purge everything when fucked with like that.

>So can human players feasibly gut a cargo ship and fill it with weapons?

Yep. Just copy the given ship and edit the sprite & csv files. From there, it's as simple as adding it to the player faction, and any others, then waiting for the market refresh, or spawning one in yourself.

Why? It's tedious and boring. Literally nobody has fun navigating around storms in hyperspace. Not even you.

You can't edit the ships like that ingame. but there IS a special mod literally called Safety Overrides that turns your ship into a berserker while making all weapons into CQB range.

There is also an entire faction of religious fanatics who pilot ships like that, except Safety Overrides is built in.

Install solar shields if they bother you that much

Eh, i digress. When you learn how to use the storm to your favor, it becomes very easy to yeet yourself from point a to b.

You do realize you can power through and ride the storms by Emergency burning through them right?

It eats CR and fuel burns fast, but you get too surf the hyperspace storms like a baller.

Install the Solar Shielding hullmod and it'll barely nick your ships. Meanwhile, you get to your destination twice as fast.

3/3 safety procedures, install solar shields and burn through those storms with no CR issue

solar shields protect you from the storm? the more you know,

It takes likes twenty seconds to get from the core to outside of civilization if you just speed up time like a normal person.

Why is Mesotronic so slow, Yea Forums?

Is there any ship, vanilla or mod, which is just like a gigantic cannon. Does 1 thing and that's fire a fucking huge shot?

solar shielding is honestly pretty good and underrated if you know how to use it correctly. it's fairly cheap for a hullmod and if you can lure the enemy into fighting in a corona you can easily outlast them until they malfunction

Theres also Scy nations capital carrier that for whatever reason has a huge fuck off cannon.

Syhpon RnD has a "planet-killer" ship which has a huge fuck you laser.

Why would he sell the corrupted nanoforge?

that's the purpose the restore button

wait i'm dumb, i though you were asking if you could restore ships.

You'll pay a monthly fee if you're storing it in another faction's market, but it's very small. The Colossus is the best vanilla cargo freighter, it's worth picking up.

Hey hey people

Chuck militarized subsystems and expanded cargo holds on it and the Colossus has a ridiculous supply:cargo ratio.

Sorry I meant "no"

how can i easily determined if i'm gonna get my shit pushed in a fleet engagement? what do the orange bars mean? is there a newbie guide somewhere?

They have the same unit price though?

yes and yes it is better at salvaging and having more salvage ships does improve your salvaging bonus in particular the salvager is a bigger ship so it has a bigger salvage bonus.

granted if you are not running around with three or more colossus you probably don't need a salvager

You can always get metals EVERYWHERE

Orange bars are how damaged a ship is. They're also known as D-mods. A ship with 5 of them has lower capabilities.

lad the game literally tells you the danger level when you hover over a fleet. orange bars are d-mods.

Attached: Base Profile Screenshot 2019.07.26 - 18.21.14.89.png (1920x1080, 1.62M)

In pratice, sure. Not on the market.

Fair point.

I went with a little of both 'cause I figure I'll depress the unit value of each when I get back to port, but thanks for the input.

Vertical orange bars are D-Mods, something that's extremely wrong with the ship.
As for telling how dangerous a fleet is, you really have to get to know what ship hulls are capable of. I got the hang of it after a few hours.

I've never seen metals trade for over 15 credits, even without the good boy tax.

Even with a shortage the price is absolute garbage, the only reason to carry it is building makeshift relays, quartermaster bar swaps, and if you have free cargo space.

If you build ships at that colony it would help reduce d mods.

No ayys
It'd be cool though. I never understand when someone makes a space game, but without ayys, like, what's the point?

Mines have same momentum your ship has. If you put one while moving it'll drift in same direction slowly. Combine that with putting them on the way of targets - smaller ships are easier to hit.
Take missile specialization, it boosts not only damage but hp of mines too. Must have skill for doom.
Large ships are generally very hard to hit with mines because minimum distance you can put those is too great. Also doom works poorly against enemies that have large amount of ship-based PD.

Does the neutrino sensor work? I've never felt like I detect anything with it, much less to the extent that justifies resource use.

Based Sseth doing good work

I installed a portrait mod but the ugly ass default portraits are still in.

How do I remove/disable them?

Replace them with something else, that's the easiest way. Just make sure you rename them exactly or the game crashes.

Change the shit in your portraits folder.

Are there some mods that are pretty much essential or should I play vanilla first?

they just jumped in, if memory serves. There's zero reason for them to be sitting that closely but it was nice to see something other than photon pewpews do damage in starwars.

no i used meme jewtubers free code. got curios about the game with so many threads being up so wanted to see what it was like.
pretty neato

Why do you think it is bad?

The "stabilize the jump points" mission from the start isn't disappearing from the quest log, is there anything else you're supposed to do with it?

Can I roleplay as Gargantia or Macross in this game?

that's my perspective of course, but the approach now is going to be killing half the general improvements that makes the game less frustrating to make them a choice factor, a new player playing the game wouldn't mind, but moving out of this generalized skill system is going to be hard to not miss.
Ah also on a different note:

>The second goal is to make the system more approachable. Currently, you can pick any skill you want – imagine, as a new player, being presented with some 30-odd choices of what skill to get, while you’re still figuring out how to play the game. This isn’t just a new-player-oriented feature, however. I think reducing the number of options at any given point will also make for more impactful and considered choices for players of any skill level.
>Finally, updating a system is a great time to simplify it, so that’s a goal as well.

I hope Alex doesn't think that simplification = Good if anything the customization options should be wider but if you care about abusing mechanics being too good, just nerf or restrict them.

>always use the black market openly
>constantly getting stopped by patrols
>don't care as my reputation tanks from constantly being pulled

Thank you for explaining! Yea this is worth thinking over more.

not him but it doesn't fix the problems of the current skill system in that some skills are straight up useless and are only taken because you need it for a better one. A straight upgrade path just results in even less choice since Alex isn't that great at balancing so most choices will be obvious.

I think he meant the NGO dev, who was banned from the forum because some braindead kitbasher had a serious case of autism.

Onslaught is my waifu

Yeah man. Instead of having a colony on a planet, I want them on my specialised colony fleet. Just rewatched Gargantia last week and I really want this. Been playing as a scavenger too. I also want mechs if possible. Mods are ok.

approlight has several of those

With the Colony re-balance, should my first colony be a planet with better quality resources (like abundant ores) over planets with more industries to exploit?

Attached: 1548958319183.png (1000x1000, 439K)

It literally doesn't matter. What's most important is multiple colonies in the same system, optimally habitable moons orbiting a gas giant

hazard>resources
resources are nice but a 50-75% hazard rating planet will grow very quickly and industries will produce profit by themselves even without being supplied by in-faction mining

>muh quality

Both are valid as long as you get some immediate income from exports.

With the reduced maintenance, hazard rating is only an issue in the first few months. What you want is several planets in the same system with a specialization for each.

Getting back into the game after the surge in threads pre-colony shit I think, but how are raids, I just noticed the option for them and they seem kind of interesting. Can I completely hijack a pirate colony and claim it as my own if I have enough firepower?

Attached: 1563209243572.jpg (720x774, 200K)

Would be cool to have a mobile base of sorts or something for a bit of on-the-go production. Can't really think of any way to make that sort of play style work with the current state of the game other than hoarding everything you find floating around though.

Vanilla: no
Nexerelin mod: HELL YEAH!

Yeah, some of the UI elements are sooooo small
and everything tends to blend together in the same color group most of the time.
I hope there's some improvement in the future.

to add to that, i think the way skills are being handled now doesn't really boost replayability, if you just can reassign skills now then you wouldn't have any necessity to start over a new game since you can experience all the ways of playing in a single save and roleplaying means sticking to a model or role from the beginning, you can do other things but less effectively than the other role, if you just can change at any moment your way of playing and then starting a new game wouldn't be much incentive to play as that role because you already know what is it like at mid-late game because you played as it in your previous save, reassigning skills shouldn't be a thing or you can make it a far endgame reward, but even then it doesn't make sense anymore, the meat of starsector is the starting part of the game when you chose your way of playing, you're very limited and you have to plan ahead or be punished (which is not a bad thing because you experiment and discover the different ways of gameplay which transform into multiple playthroughs.)

I think the skill system should emphasize on the roles you can take in the game.
and by roles i mean the following: combat oriented role, trading oriented role, exploration oriented role. If you emphasize on one you lose effectiveness on the other but inside each roles you expand the options example.

combat oriented roles: give advantages for being a faction militia OR a free lance bounty hunter.
Trade oriented roles: give advantages for being an honest trader OR being a smuggler
Exploration oriented roles: give advantages for being an scavenger OR being a planet surveyor.
Note: of course choosing one shouldn't prevent you from picking things from the other side, each spec shouldn't be mutually exclusive, but you will have to sacrifice things for your role, or how it is now.
That's how i think replay ability will truly be boosted.

Are there any mods that add alien life/monsters? i wanna kill big cthulu niggers with an onslaught

>asking questions you already know the answers to

If I start with 3 ships and I'm allied with a faction, is it cheating? Or am I supposed to start neutral with everybody and one shitty ship?

Man, this game is so good. It's like Mount & Blade but much better. Fuck Bannerlord and its never ending development cycle

Attached: thank you, sseth.png (464x332, 233K)

I do hoard everything I find since I earned enough money to sustain myself currently. Having a drifting colony is cool as heck I agree. At least it gives me another option as a player instead of always finding a good planet to settle on. Imagine the number of ways to expand this if StarSector have this. It will be awesome.

that's mostly roleplay so it doesn't matter.

>Fuck Bannerlord and its never ending development cycle
Well, about that....

any good loadouts for Safety overwrites on capitals? I installed the mod that lets you do that but I don’t know what to do with it

the problem is the range reduction, that really fucks captials

What mods got banned?

The space nazi one got so banned that the autistic illuminati on the forums have banded together to spy on the mod to make sure it never gets revived as they are writing infected code to cause a crash if their mods are installed along side the space nazi mod. Any time the space nazi mod gets updated, they have agreed to update their mods to crash the game if the mod detects the space nazi mod running.

Other than that, if you make a mod that alters their waifu/husbando's portraits they will get it banned. See the post you responded to for evidence.

You don't even need a fleet if you play your cards right.
Some time ago I set up a colony and invested literally everything I had into it until I was left with a single frigate.
Then I just alt-tabbed and let the game do its thing, only checking up to build facilities on my colony.
Few minutes later I had an obscenely powerful colony and lost the will to play the game.
That was in the previous version. I hope that shitbitch Alex made some changes by now.

why are threads popping up recently? Did it just get updated?

eceleb made a video about it, newfags are overjoyed the guy they give 5 grand a month in paymeton bux so are swarming, faggots from the forums are here to conduct damage control for reasons unknown

Isn't only one mod crashing NGO though? And they have a point about needing permission to alter other mods least the ones who have a license on their work. It seems like you are looking for malice and collusion where there is none but I might be wrong.

Sseth (youtuber) made a video about it, a lot of people who watch his videos also browse Yea Forums, so it got a surge a popularity.

There has always been forum faggots here.

Do bounty hunters go after my character when turning in AI cores or is that just the reward money for turning them in? The game confuses me about this

How are you supposed to gain reputation with factions? I keep going to bars on their stations but they either have no missions at all or they're for another faction.

Am I supposed to get all the big ships I can?
They eat so much supplies I just salvage them instead.

Try doing named bounties, system bounties, or delivering good to system where there is a pirate activity (check their market info to see the shortages)

depends on your playstyle and if you can support them. they are end game material for when you want to start bullying all factions

alright, ty

mothball the ones you want and chuck them into storage. Stockpile a large amount of supplies before transitioning, a bad engagement or two can devour resources.

How do you guys manage the actual combat part of the game? It's so hard to see how your orders actually affect what friendlies want to do or if there's any kind of priority for certain orders etc. so best I can do is tell everyone to guard a square and it seems to work somehow.

It absorbs flux from nearby sylphon ally ships, then emits a huge lightning bolt that cripple ships.

I like the hunterkiller better, big speed with safety override and can tank many ships simulataneous while rest of my fleet lights them up

underworld

That's probably what the AI does. Leads to losses that could have been avoided. Also if you're in a heavy ship they might just fuck off and leave you in a 1v10 situation. I thought it's better to try stay in a tight bunch and since the instigator doesn't even get a timer or anything the AI must attack.

After looking at the faction mods I was thinking to get Junk Pirates, Underworld, Blackrock, Diable, Shadowyards and SCY.
Is it too much? Are any of those bad or unbalanced?

What am I supposed to do after the tutorial? I can't really afford the fuel and supplies to get to places with bounties, and besides I get bodied in every single battle anyways. There's no dialogue options to anyone I talk to, and the people at the bar just give me missions that are way too far away to actually do. What am I missing here?

A brain

pick up a commission and go explore shit.

How do I git gud?
I have no idea how combat exactly works, I keep finding that I run out of supplies and fuel quickly and I can never seem to do a mission because it's way too far or I run out of time.

This needs to happen.

If you want to arrive first in a big fat ship, then in the "tactics map" click on your fast ships and right click on your slow ships so they act as escorts instead of YOLOing into the enemy fleet's entire torpedo fleet.

how do I locate pase of jihadniggers supplying terrorists in my colonies?
I'm getting real tired of their shit

Shadowyards can be a bit too strong but it wouldn't call it OP, real OP factions are like Sylphon or Dassualt Milkoyon

go to your base’s bar, see if you have te option to talk to a pather

at this rate who is more autistic?

Both user
that was the answer all along

Should I hock the synchotron core I found if I'm no way near colonising yet or just keep it?

me just started playing the game:
>fuck this bullshit ai always pinpoint accuracy with their shields

me now:
>ARMOR UP AND RAM THEM! MORE DAKKA OVERLOAD THEIR SHIELDS! CREW IS EXPENDABLE!

What do you guys find to be more fun, a carrier specialization or a combat one?

Ramming specialization.

>Dassualt Milkoyon
What exactly is OP about them? As far as I saw their ships are pretty good high tech type but nothing especially broken about them.

>been raiding same fucking pirate moon for months now for easy money
>get to beat up pirate convoys too
I could easily invade the moon too. Is it worth it at all or should I build my own colony from scratch?

i like playing the grand admiral so carrier seems more fitting
then again, playing with a carrier is kinda boring since all you do is watch your ships torpedo shit

Carrier
>Lock target
>Order engage
>Wait (or use system if astral)
>Repeat
At least on gun boat you have to aim, position and manage flux.

>CREW IS EXPENDABLE!
That's the spirit

only gave me pirate base but still, better than nothing

Combat, with a large portion of my fleet being carrier.

Do you guys recommend Nexerlin?

yes

Is it just better than vanilla? I'm trying to look at its features, but the wiki seems to last have been updated in 2017.

Well their ships have no real weakness and are all above average.
Also most of the weapons they introduced that the bladebreakers use are really OP so once you start using them balance goes out the window

you can raid it until it decivilize then settle

Lads I have Nexerellin, a fleet and 250 marines. What place should I conquer for my home?

Can we get a list of recommended vanilla+ mods?

Underworld, Nexerlin, what else?

Jangala

Blackrock driveyards, imperiumi, all the libs

Disassemble Reassemble is a pretty good ship pack too.

i've been playing for one day now, when is a good time to start installing mods? I feel like i haven't scratched the surface of vanilla, but the mods are very tempting as i love lots of content

ship/weapon pack for that International Bounty Board

What freighters should I buy?

It'd be good if they let you make custom starts like Rimworld.

it's scarier and rewarding

There are a handful of custom starts in Nexerelin, including the Spacer Start where you actually have debt to repay instead.

is there a downside to estabilishing my colony in unexplored systems?
I want a base for my gunrunning and drug trafficking operations

"enableStipend":false,
also spacer start is starting with unarmed shuttle and increasing debt paymentys

no, unless to far to trade
quite opposite if you put colony in somebody space they can get pissed

When is Alex going to get off his ass and put this game on a real engine?
I'm not buying it until that happens.

The level of ignorance in this post is off the charts.

any tips for a system with a terran planet? only one I found belonged to space islam and they buy my drugs

are they have planet or permanent space station or here or its just random spawned ones?
starting explored system or you found something in unexplored one?

MOAR FACTIONS

Do named bounties ever get weaker? Went for some guy with a 290k bounty got my fleet wiped. The only new bounties are in the 250k- 300k range and theres no way im doing that shit with a wayfarer and kite.

Here's the crack for the latest version
Download the game installer from the official website and put the file inside this zip on your starsector-core folder. Replace.
files.catbox.moe/hwog35.zip
Enjoy your free game ;^)

They should scale to your level I think, usually theirs 50-75k ones around.

I'm only getting risky dolphin photos

Put the risky photo inside the game's starsector-core folder to make the gamedev jew mad.

Character level or what youve got as a fleet level?

what happens if i dont crack my starsector copy? i used sseths cdkey

Attached: 1559518277429.png (126x132, 38K)

Nothing, I think.
It's for people who don't have a CD key.

Character level but their is a large degree of randomness to enemy fleets.

it's a free trial
next update is making the key invalid
if you used that key it installs spyware so they will hack your bank accounts and tank the money by force if you don't pay
Buy their game if you like it :)

Assign frigates to destroyers, assign small carriers to big ones, assign a few destroyer+frigate teams to cap points, drive everything else right up the middle.

more factions!

It'll be blacklisted when the next update comes out, so you have till then.
