Reinstall Java
Disable your mods one by one until you find the one causing the crash.

if you know what you are doing and don’t overcommit, yes. just remember: you can’t defend for shit. speed and your 2 missile mounts are your bigger assets, pick up smaller ships and flank other capitals
don’t blame the ship for your shittery

conquest is GARBAGE for the investment, stop giving bad advice

is this the epitome of psh nothin personell kid ...

Unfunny fag here

It's a good ship. I can defeat all ships with similar deploy cost with it. Found a derelict conquest early in one of my play through and the game kind of became easy mode.

>stop giving bad advice
you first
I bet your flagship has below room-temperature max speed and d*fense instead of pure offense

The base hull is built to be mobile and do hit and runs. If you want to hold a line with it something like an onslaught might be better.

my flagship is a sunder suck my tachyon you contrarian

None. Capships are for dicklets.
Frigate + Destroyer + Light Carrier wolf pack rushing. Going bigger means you have a tiny dick or like falling asleep at the keyboard.

Is it worth getting a ship just to stick survey equipment on it? Or is it irrelevant and I should just get more cargo space?

Odyssey

something that seems to have not be addressed about this ship is that it's turrets are placed in such a way that they point in different directions, the problem with this compared to other very large ships is when you need your large ship to battle another large ship you you can only point half your guns at it and weaker armor since your ship is meant to be faster

Lads, combat or carrier for your flagship?

lot's of survey equipment stacks until the supply cost of surveying goes down to 5 for any single planet, it's worth it to stick that mod on as many ships as reasonable

fucking hilarious

The Conquest is a loadout bait-and-switch
Spend all your ordiance points loading stronk weapons on one side and skim ordinance points on the other side with defensive weapons and medium turrets on the large slots

Fuck off to /vg/

I prefer to use smaller ships myself 90% of the time, but Caps do have their uses. Like taking down a battle station. Smaller ships just can't do it without taking massive casualties.

Best capital ship, fuck the warmonger factions, Independent free-traders are king!

Grab three Sheps. They're your basic bitch 100 cargo hauler frigs. Militarize and expand cargo holds on that shit and you've got a tiny survey boi with stacking salvage gantries (diminishing returns after the 2nd), survey equipment and a fleet of PD soaking drones and engine missiles if you really need to deploy them in combat.

No lmao

Do you even do anything as a carrier but sit back and let your fighters kill?

For me it's the Centurion
The best brawling frigate

allows you to command your fleet more freely

if you use a legion you charge head first into battle to drop 5 reapers on them

Does anyone have the Webm of IIRC a massive warhead opening up and then shooting hundreds of smaller warheads?
I'm pretty sure it was also uploaded to youtube with Isis music but I can't find it.

You go up to a planet, see if you can raid it, if not, buy more marines and try again.

I recommend 1000 marines endgame.

so I need that specific amount, not more?
do I not want to get more?

>fractalsoftworks is down

I remember a Starfarer thread where this webm with the exact same name was posted.

Well I'm a cheapskate, if you want a 10,000 Marine death legion then go ahead, nothing stopping you

m8 i'm asking if nore marines make raiding more effectie or not
i want to make a profit after all

Also forgot to mention, the UI tells you your raid success chance. The more defense a planet has, the higher the minimum amount of marines you need to even start a raid. The higher the amount of marines, the higher your success chance.

so... looking at their defense, what's the optimal way to gage how many marines you need?

I feel the same way, it's why I went the carrier route so I can let the AI fight while I command the fleet and watch the fireworks.

You know you can set your flagship to operate on autopilot whenever you want right?

no it's not, you should be better than the AI after practice

its fine
i usually put weapons on auto(outside missiles and torps)
you can invert movement controls(or use shift to change it in battle)

You can, you just need to turn off your transponder

Colonies will need you to baby sit them until they can defend themselves. You can start having them produce their own patrols once you build the required buildings. You're still going to have to defend it though, everyone looks on their neighbors with eager eyes.

You just need to wait for a couple weeks usually.

yeah but it's not the same base you've been raiding for the past month or so

Depends on the forces being sent to bully you. If it's just lowly pirate detachments they should be able to handle themselves already. If it's assault or invasion forces you're going to have to sit there awhile. Really comes down to how desirable that colony is. You better not be in a high traffic area with lots of neighbors or else you'll be glued there until you have a space fortress.

You should be able to ask a grizzled spacer at your colony bar. He gives you the system location, trail pirates there to find the base itself.

How do you buy new ships I've been jumping around a while and havent found any to purchase. I know how to salvage them but I figured salvaging ships I probably won't find anything amazing

How can I tell if a ship from a mod is a destroyer, cruiser, or flagship? Most of them have dumb custom names

Press the ? to see the ship's real description.
Go to sell, then go to fleet - Buy, then choose market.

It should have a classification still, like frigate or combat freighter. Barring that just eyeball the stats.

This ship was so baller that back when I watched LoGH there were only LD rips out but I still made a screencap my wallpaper for like a year.

Yeah that's what I'm saying most of them don't, just some custom name even in the bigger description

What is the military option for carrying fuel?

yeah i might try to aim for something like this
carriers good? I kinda started on the salvage option (not the fast start). might restart tho.
oh im sure, i'm just not terribly good at doing all the shit it wants. if autopilot carrier is still a good idea though i might try that instead.

analyze weapon cache/research station missions generally give you assloads of weapons or blueprints for basically the cost of traveling there, black markets are also very random in their weapon offerings so check those frequently

yes, you will probably need a blueprint or be very invested into the tri tachyon corporation to acquire one

Nothing effecient. Some faction mods have stronger fuel/cargo carriers at the cost of capacity or burn level. Just take civilian fuel carries, slap militarized subsystems on it, and never take it into combat

Ship reveals are one of my favorite aspects of LoGH.
It really gave character to the fleets and admirals.
Getting used to seeing the green metal boxes in various states of fat and then getting shown Triglav was a treat.
Or Muller receiving percival for his act of heroism was such a feel good moment.

And something so minor is less likely to happen nowadays as stuff like that is CGI, as shown by the remake.

How to not go bankrupt on supplies for larger fleets?

It honestly gets under my skin, they find the good planets before I do and I'm forced into the outskirts.

How hard pirate or pather stations are depends on their level, although I think pather stations are generally harder and you'll probably want a capital ship or two.

Just saturation bomb their colonies.
Can factions just "besiege" colonies to capture them or do they have to glass them?

I mean, the game is ranking several hell worlds as IV or once even V for me, but the problem is they're not realistically that good. Like one ocean planet the game has marked V only because it has an ass ton of minerals and organics, but it's so crawling with hazards that its hazard rating is fucking 200.

>episodes of LoGH where they show generic soldiers getting fucked up when ships get destroyed
>can handle it
>suddenly a no-name longhaired FPA cutie wearing a beret gets obliterated

What is considered a capital? Battlecruisers and Battleships, I'm guessing? The biggest I have is a single Dominator.

Hazards only matter at the beginning of the colony. after you have a waystation and/or convert your colony into a free port, everything will go smooth.

Senpai being able to go to war with a faction and win comes much later than when you're ready to found your first colony.

Onstlaught, Atlas, paragon, basically the ships that cost around 40 supplies per month.

Really? Everyone recs 150 and below that I've seen. Either way, I can't use it right now because it has a bunch of Luddic Path fleets and a station squatting there. I've been hoping to find some alternatives that aren't armpit deserts out on the rim and aren't full of hostiles.

What's a "Synergy slot"? What does it synergize with?

I don't know what class those are and I haven't seen them around, but I'm guessing they're bigger than the Dominator, then. No hope for me to clear it out any time soon, then. But on that subject, how big do you normally make your fleet, as far as number of ships go?

I've been playing for years user. It's my favourite space game since Freespace 2.

Vanilla: between 20 to 100 hours depending on how committed you are to dominate the sector, and if you only play once.
Modded: unlimited

Attached: mounts.jpg (737x268, 56K)

It’s okay. Combat is good but once you get to the end game there’s really nothing to do

i usually don't let my daily supplies use to go over 10 per day, so basically that translates into one or two capital ships, 8 to 10 cruisers and several haulers/tanker ships. going over 10 is basically when you want to abuse the combat system and hog all the deployment points to yourself or you really need to fuck up some modded faction.

they are one class bigger than the dominator.

How do I befriend the Luddic Path?
I want to fight the good fight.

Thanks for the fleet comp tips, at least. Looks like I'll be grinding cash for a while to take care of those pirates.

Is there an option to view what storage locations I bought?

if you hang around their systems they'll rarely give out missions, sell them cores, and I think bar missions that deliver to pather worlds give rep as well

Alright. I thought it was something like befriending the Church first and then there might be an option to "move on" from there.

How much dosh do i need to pile up before making my own colony is possible and feasible?

Seven digits.

There are terran planets that have a high concentration of ores and organics and also have a low hazard rating, but they literally are a needle in a haystack. So far i've only found one such planet and it was almost at the edge of the map

I dont know how to manage supplies

Just scavenge the debris after every fight bro, your fight or someone else's

Wait until somebody fucks up the space port on one of their worlds. They'll start offering trade missions to satisfy demand, but due to a bug none of the commodities you deliver from missions gets added to the economy, so they'll just keep posting missions as if you never delivered anything.

>I cannot into combat at all
I think it's because the keyboard controls don't work very well with me but the AI often does just as good if not better than me.
Big fuckups like not maintaining distance properly are common from me. To work around this I often keep myself at a VERY good distance from the enemy but that often leads to too prolonged combat and my ship(s) start suffering from accidents due to low CR.
Should I try to git gud or just put points into leadership and try to work around my awful skills by just getting the most out of the AI instead?

Sure, but if you want to make a living of it then you'll do contract work which doesn't give a lot of freedom (just like real life). You might eventually found your own faction and prospect for your own good, but then it's even more annoying when you don't hit gold, which you don't most of the time.

Any kind of disruption that fucks with supply, really. Spaceports after just the biggest ones since colonies can't trade with each other without one.

I haven't paid that close attention to colony "parts". What else than spaceports could it be?

what the fuck is this

They can be risky, I suppose, and it always takes some resources to get where you want to go

Industries like Food Production, Orbital Works, etc.

for heron specifically, kopesh and or torpedo bombers, the special ability of the carrier can boost the effect of those right before impact

There's an option in settings to make it so you aim and orientate your ship with the mouth and WASD becomes a bit more like typical movement. It's off by default, so I just assume everyone who's having trouble piloting is getting owned due to that.

any modding guide around? where do I install the files?

Just one such "trait" needs to be offline for [get us supplies] quests to break and not actually give them the supplies?

What's my next step, establishing my first colony ?

adding to , you might also want to edit the supplies that your fleet uses as well, because mining right now isn't made to be profitable and other that the linked mod, i don't think there is another mod that makes it so.

Just got to support the function

>alright fleet
what does this mean. you're gonna have to be defening the colony yourself against pirates and other faction expeditions until the orbital station and patrol HQ are up.

is that mod enough to make it profitable though.

It should be self explanatory that you don't catch and intercept a lot with larger ships.

just sustained/emergency burn. Also that one skill in tech that increases max burn level is mandatory for like every build

Food production getting smashed will make a colony pay missions did food delivery. Completing these missions doesn't actually reduce the demand, so the colony will keep posting missions until Food Production is repaired.
Orbital Works getting fucked would make missions for heavy machinery and supplies. The spaceport being down would create missions for anything that the colony imports and doesn't apply by itself.
Did that make sense?

Remove technology and embrace Allah.

I support equality which means Im going to genocide everyone

Befriend them, or simply move to an area where they don't operate.

Piracy and salvaging are both options, although their viability is questionable.

go to the bar, and with luck you will find a pather to bribe

I bought Starsector back in 2013 and it was kind of bare-bones sandbox back then. Where does it sit now?

don't tugs make it impossible to smuggle due to the increased sensor shit?

This game reminds me, why are people still waiting for Star Citizen ?

If you are using tugs, you clearly aren't doing smuggling runs.

when you buy the game.. how do you receive your code? I haven't bought it yet but there is no spot when purchasing to input a email or something?

You can move fast or you can move silently. Make a choice faggot.

there is also X4 available.

You get an email with the code

guys help. game says that RNG "knows" i pirated it. but i have bought a key lol?

Falcons have burn 9, and are common and cheap.

Aren't tugs really expensive fuel-wise? And I thought their burn level increase didn't stack.

>only save I've progressed any on has nothing but garbage tier fuel guzzling destroyers with awful loadouts
>chose mostly combat skills, can't fix that mistake for some reason

Tried restarting and picking the explorer option so I could actually into travel. Just results in every single system I go to, especially for missions, being stacked with 20 burn level OP enemies who destroy me instantly and can't be avoided.

Read their hull mods. The burn increase is cumulative. And yeah they're fuel-heavy, so you'll need to bring some extra tankers along.

Do you not understand the military-industrial complex, user?

you're killing civilians

Is there any way to stash your ships? Or can I just put ships onto defense fleets or whatever once I have a colony?

Why is this being talked about so much now?

Is there a glossary or something ingame? I have officers that are "timid" and "cautious" for instance but I don't know exactly what that entails.

You can put ships into Storage just like your items

check the wiki
basically you never want timid officers

Because an eceleb made a video on it

Stay fast and agile, avoiding big fleet engagements while surveying planets. Eventually you'll find one that supports heavy industry. Set up a colony and protect it until it's capable of defending itself and producing its own ships. Continue surveying ruins until you unlock designs for better ships and make your own. Conquest ships make it possible to take out orbital defenses.

That's a bit of a shame, I wanted something I can enjoy for a long time like Starscape or SPAZ

salvaging to 3 is important, at least level 1 of sensors for the neutrino detector is also important

While I was smuggling drugs to a lone pirate station, a bunch of Tri Tach patrols were coming after me, but right after selling the stuff I turned my transponder On and dragged every fleet with me to an assault on the pirates. I sat WAY at the back and let the station destroy everyone, then I retreated, scavenged ships and debris, and went back to Tri Tach to sell them their own garbage back.

Yeah that's just what we need, make the early game impossible.

It's about taking that ability from the enemy, not wiping it from the galaxy.

In fact why are other factions allowed to saturation bomb MY colonies and maintain peaceful relations while every time I do it it's like declaring war on everyone?

>exploration mission

Protip: You're not "taking" that ability away from them, you're simply delaying the next strike. Wiping out a colony settles disputes for good.

Decreases the opponents weapon range if you have more ECM rating, reduces yours if your opponent has a higher rating.

Not really. It's okay but the firepower, while impressive on paper, is split up between the two wings of the ship and face opposite directions. It's made for broadsides but doesn't have turrets that rotate 270 degrees like actual battleships did so it kinda sucks. My recommendation is the Legion battlecarrier.

Research stations shouldn't be allowed to be right next to stars. Makes them impossible to reach, and you lose 500 supplies while you waste your time trying.

>my guns feel so weak and wimpy

Dezhak or whatever and Penelope's Star both have planets, but the first one has this monstrosity and P's has a crappy desert planet. First one has a Luddic Path station too.

on one hand, new york doesn't have crushing gravity, a toxic atmosphere, supervolcanoes spewing forth billions of tons of lava in daily eruptions and doesn't get plagued by pirate trades
on the other, you can own guns here

I'm saying it's about conquering planets rather than glassing them.

Can't just avoid engagements. Their fleets are always faster than my 8 burn level, regardless of size, even with sustained burn on.

Set up a colony halfway between the outer reaches and "civilized" space. Gives you a resupply zone and also gets you in the process of trade/production/crafting your own fleet.

I don't know why people expected anything else from it. It was obvious from the start if you have any experience with H-games. Sorry about derailing the thread a little bit!

Also, is high tech actually a meme? I barely do any damage to anything, just permastun the entire enemy fleet with emp and wait half an hour for HI lasers to cut them.

What are good ships to hand to the AI that aren't carriers?

Has everyone been using the alt thing to mass-move items in/out of storage? I have it enabled, but it isn't working for me.

Is there any point in manually defending a colony by the time it's got a battlestation+high command+200% fleets?

It's cool as hell, I just don't want to risk the ONE raid getting through while I'm not there, if possible.

tfw literally never had a problem with money early game
Just smuggle until you buy a few destroyers and carriers, then go bounty hunting/surveying

>150% colony

Your loadout sounds like shit. Ion cannons are good as support weapons and actually annihilate ships when their shields are down. Use missiles like sabots to take down shields quickly.

Question lads:
When you are not employed by a faction, who the hell pays your (pretty high) monthly wage?

Yeah I'm really wary of setting up a colony. Haven't done much exploration/surveying yet so not nanoforges or ai cores.

You can read the description in the Intel screen for a detailed report including the raiding fleets chances against your patrol forces and colony defenses.

Grab a big Cargo Freighter and slap military subsystems on it.

It's not that there's a fleet nearby, you have to defeat the fleet to actually be able to salvage the cache

Get the survey equipment hull mod.
Apparently you graduated from some academy for rich trust fund faggots that gives you a stipend for several months after you start the game.

yeah on max speed maybe
if you want to be safe you'll be flying with go dark turned on so youre unseen

>When you are not employed by a faction, who the hell pays your (pretty high) monthly wage?
You get 15k/month stipend for your first 2 in-game years or so.

The technology caches are meant to be risky. They don't have time limits too, so the smart thing to do is come back later with a big fleet. It will always be in your intel.

And did you realzie you can see the sensor range of other fleets? Just pay attention and move around them or break sustain burn for like a minute.

It always had a ton of threads and then eventually a general in /vg/ with every update.

The Remnant ships are meant to be the hardest. Generally any Remnant ship of a given hull size is going to be superior than whatever trash designs you are using thanks to Domain era tech. I don't know what the fleet looks like, but if it has capital ships, you're basically looking at the utmost challenge in the game.

Running fast is better than stealthing in hyperspace.

Well you overdefensive moron, you can either get good or try to explain to literally everyone else how their way of playing the game is wrong despite the fact that we are rolling in credits.

how often do the devs update this game? I know the last one was in may

people don't really care if civilians die. Just as long as they are white.
If they aren't then you are basically hitler.

Markets change often. You may also want to check the market of a different faction. Tri Tachyon will probably have the lasers you want, Persean League usually seems to have a decent missile selection.

the 10k you start with is enough to buy fighters and you can always do one trade run to get more money
you do realize there's more than just mining stations and research stations to salvage right?

No, I meant my fleet.
I'm getting 500000 bitcoins per month and I have a lot of it, but I don't know what ships to look for.
And honestly, domain-era probe hunting is fucking tedious.

bring a single paragon and a shitload of carriers. Fighter doctrine is king.

>not an argument
It wasn't an argument, i was just stating that you are stupid. You only go dark right before entering whatever market you want to sell your wares(or entering the system if you are that kind of guy) and eat up the reputation loss. Either way its more profitable to fight the pirates and sell their ships to the nearest market you can find.

Just visit various planets and stations and check both their regular and black market.

Speaking of black market, is there any penalty for trading on the Pirates' Black Market? It seems silly that it exists in the first place, other than to work with stability modifiers.

My colonies have 13% growth rates with maximal monetary supports, is that normal or am I utterly fucked?

Sounds about right

>What if you like, salvage a bunch of broken shuttles from the pirates you can't kill

Bros should I go for a heron or a mora? I’m going for carrier game and saved up enough cash from salvaging to buy one on the black market but don’t know which. It’s to be my flagship as for now until I’m not such a shitter.

You need to curry favor with a faction so you can get access to their high end ship hulls. That, or set up a colony and build your own endgame ships. That requires some time and a good nanoforge though. I haven't played in a while so I couldn't tell you what ships are good against the Remnant specifically. I'd say try to take advantage of the fact that they are aggressive due to not fearing death.

What the hell? So I build a spaceport and farms and then wait two years before I can add defences?

They're very conscientious of how updated game mechanics work and feel together. That means updates tend to come in major chunks, with a lot of other vanilla things being rebalanced or changed at the same time.

That means it's very much on a "when it's ready" basis that tends to get longer each time. 14 months would be a good estimate from the last update.

However, Alex makes great blog posts every month or so about new mechanics and explains his thought process toward game design. It's extremely insightful.

is this game like space rangers?

The way I see it is basically the pirate warlord wants a cut of your trade at his station. I don't think it has any real effect other than tiny amounts of rep loss with the Pirates that you normally get from black market trade.
If it's a flagship, definitely the Mora. Herons are more like escort/light carriers.

Not really. Trading isn't good, there are no text-based adventure quests, and combat is completely different. The galaxy also doesn't change with time.

What's a good ship to try for for a combat oriented exploration build? I'm using a hammerhead as my capital right now, I don't think going too big would be good for my fuel balance, but I want to have good combat capabilities.

well that sucks, was looking for something to itch that space rangers/elite itch.

Apogee
Not only is it cute but its built just for exploration!

The most profitable thing in this game is assembling a 50k fleet of drone tenders, combat freighters and fuel tankers and going on a survey/salvage rampages. You can sneak/outrun almost anything, and if you get caught, all you lose is your 50k fleet.

Have I done something wrong

You want a cruiser like an Apogee or something similar.
If you have nanoforges and an AI core, consider starting a colony. It will take a while for it to make decent money on its own, but you will attract pirates, whose bases you can seek out and easily destroy. Sometimes bounties will also be posted for those bases. The orbital stations are easy enough, battlestations are tough without at least one capital ship.

there was more but I forgot to cap it

largest cargo capacity i've seen is 100. isn't there one with 600 like tankers?

The AI isn't retarded so they don't overcommit in battles. You may have fucked yourself with autofit, I literally have never touched that button. It doesn't automatically buy weapons if I recall correctly, so if you didn't buy those you may be fucked. Alternatively, the market you were at simply didn't have enough weapons to outfit your fleet.

There are larger ship hulls with more capacity. Just be patient and keep looking. This one is a superfreighter:

Come back in two years and see what has been added by then.

>The way I see it is basically the pirate warlord wants a cut of your trade at his station
But there are no fees on the Pirate common market.
>Rep loss with pirates for trading on the black market
It just sounds silly.

Because you're a Chinese executive that replaces dead miners as quickly as they arrive and the planet is vomiting transplutonic ore into your cargo holds.
Are you sure? Could have sworn they still had tariffs. It is a bit silly but think of it as you selling gold in an African warlords nation behind his back when he thought he controlled the gold trade.

Even if the report says they're likely to succeed, if you have lots of patrols the invasion will be severely combat-fatigued (if) they manage to reach your colony, and even the worst orbital defense will wipe them out. Basically once you've hit both checkpoints you can leave colonies on autopilot.

It says +13% per month, that's ~7 months just to double, but I guess the game considers reaching 100% as increasing by an order of magnitude? Even then, 7 months is crazy long.
I also suddenly noticed that my two shitty colonies with 150% hazard ratings and population of 3 produce 13% of galaxy's food (and bring no income somehow). Is this going to cause problems?

>Dude this is a scifi setting how the fuck do people create environmentally contained colonies on hostile worlds!?

I just ordered 20 cobra wing and 20 claw wing bombers to be produced.

Whoops. I was not thinking of the time it takes your colony to grow. 7 months is really not that long a time in this game. Keep in mind you are going from 1000 to 10,000 people. You can also speed growth by making it a free port if you want.
Depending on which galaxy age you chose, yes, it's very easy to gain high market share. I started a game with age young, and after I pivoted to fuel production I now have a supermajority market share and the Sindrian Diktat constantly seethes and plots for the day when they will bring death to all of my infidel subjects, with only one fuel refinery and a synchrocore.

Oh and by the way I forgot to mention, fuel production is insanely profitable .

Pro armchair general, got it.

Nah, 13% is no sweat. The real danger is producing antimatter fuel, since you'll start getting invaded by space iraq for fucking with their fuel monopoly

The tutorial series of missions ends with the guy giving you that income for a couple of years as a reward. idk the explanation without doing it

Just look at the economic class desu.

>synchrocore
I have both a synchrocore and a pristine forge, but my planets aren't rich with volatiles or metals. Can I still somewhat reasonably make one into a fleet factory and the other - a fuel manufacturer? If I build a patrol HQ without having hull factories, will my colony import ships and bankrupt me in a second?

>found a modified Atlas on the black market for 180k
How big did I just hit the jackpot

Also what are the best hullmods/weapons for it?

How are the new luddic and pirate capitals? I want a big capital ship to be the centerpiece of my fleet but I straight up can't find one except the pirate one.

Soviet mod when?

What the fuck do I need to be able to take on pather bases aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

What triggers Hegemony penis inspection days? If I'm cooperative with them, will it make them less likely? Would be a shame to waste all those cores.

Yes industry and extraction/refinement are two different things. If you make an industry for building ships then your imports will be the raw materials for those ships.

I doubt it, but I can't be certain. I haven't played as much as I did before colonies were released and I'm trying stuff out too. My first planet had ruins so I built a tech mine and then heavy industry. Built a Patrol HQ and never went into the red after that.

I would have a solid million you can invest. You need to get defenses set up quick unless you want to be flying back to it every 20 minutes.

is there one? I'd love to kill some commies

Kinetic weapons and reapers.

Just bribe them, Hegemony shills are easy.
Capital ships and cruisers.

Are there a limited amount of AI cores to be found or can derelict ships respawn? Some of my cores got plundered by a hegemony raid and I can't find any more.

>visit three systems
>fucking nothing on them
just fuck my shit up senpai
should've stuck do drug dealing

Time to plunge into REDACTED

They're dropped by remnant fleets as well although they are usually gammas.

I hope you find something you can enjoy, user.

What should I be looking for in a potential colony?

Play until you have a question, come read thread.

>Duzahk (the empty system in the middle of core space) has a terran world with good ores / rare ores
Is there literally any reason not to colonize this shit? Feels almost broken.

Duzahk is random, so you just lucked out

Accessibility rating (tied to habitability, proximity to other colonies and war). Ruins are also a strong incentive due to tech mining. It depends on whether you want money or to find better/new tech.

Hazard rating no higher than 150%.
Class 4 or 5 survey scan.
Having other good planet in the same system so they can cover each other with patrols.
