Starsector

Did you colonize a taken star system?

Yeah, the councilmen seem fucking batshit.

>hey everyone, lets start this war for no reason against an opponent on the other side of the sector while we are getting our shit pushed in by the other big alliance with 10 more planets than us.

No. Very isolated sector in the middle of nowhere. Only remnants are my neighbours there. Hegemony allies had neutral or better standings with me too. I don't understand why they declared war.

Okay lads I just found two habitable farmable planets beside eachother far out in the fringes. If I colonize them will they be able to support themselves with food and metal and stuff? I really wanna rush some colonies in this system it's got some mad planets

And I did not even use AI cores to annoy Hegemony, so yeah.

You use one for farming/mining and one for industry

Yes they'll supply each other

Sweet, the system has 2 farming planets and 1 really nice mining planet. All 3 have vast ruins too. Shit's christmas.

Will anything attack me? I'm really fuckin far out and it's just remnants but I do okay against them

They will but it takes them a while to get around to bothering systems on the rim.

Factions will get jealous eventually

How do you profit off a colony? Started one a while ago and is only making like 34k a month.
Im about to change the industries but I currently have: Farming, and tech-mining.

if you're on the latest patch factions won't come for a good while but pirates will jump on you right away so have a fleet that can destroy their shitty stations and don't get too attached to your comm relays

Aight cool. I should be able to whip up some money for defenses pretty fast, I just wanna get these guys growin

Big population, accessibility and exports. The less they need to import the more money they can save too, try and have all products be produced by neighboring colonies for max profits.

Check which markets are high value
Go for the high value markets
Disrupt the other faction's producers of said high value market

>Not sacrificing ordinance peen to retrofit the drive engines and investing in speed perks just so you can fly at max speed with your station killer fleet

upgrade all your shit and grow population

whatever the planet naturally produces build industry to process it

Does Nexerelin allow you to take over all the existing factions, or can you only bomb them back into the stone age after you wipe out their fleets?

Low hazard rating is most important, don't ever go over 200%, trry to stick below 150% and any class V planet with a 75% rating needs to be populated instantly.

Why so many Starsector threads lately? Big update or something?

Am I doing it right, Yea Forums?

You can take over planets and they'll be treated basically as if you colonized the planet yourself

Starsector never has enough steady following to exist on /vg/, but once in a while you have big updates, but the last one was in May. The recent buzz is because some big Youtube channel did a review, and now threads on Yea Forums are viable again.

Great, so I can become space Ceasar. Once the gates are back up, we shall meet them as a state once again united, free of the burdens of space ISIS and space pirates.

This is important

Sell the corrupted nanoforge, plop the synchrotron and pristine nanoforge into your best running colony. Sit back and watch the spacebucks roll in.

Slot them into your heavy industry to pump out more product and slot the synchrotron into your fuel production to piss off the space Arabs and have them saturation bomb you.

Finally, a way to stereotype the Diktat. Space Arabs makes a lot of sense, like the Tri-Jews. However, which nation would they be? Space Iraq? Space Saudi?

Don't talk to Napoleon like that.

A bit of both. You can definitely find shit lying around but that's a pretty nice find.

Is it a bad idea to build a colony in remnant sector with a warning beacon? Can I just kill all remnants here? They got a nice planet with two ultrarich deposits. Or do they keep respawning forever?

I always find loads of nanoforges and AI cores but somehow everybody but me can find derelict capitals just lying around. The first time I've found one was after a hedge money raid got bodied by my station and left a Legion at my front door.

Wrecked capitals are rare yes

Is the only source of volatiles cryovolcanic worlds? I'm obsessed with single system autarkies and my system has three low hazard worlds but no cryovolcanic ones. Can gas giants produce volatiles?

Can you just take over a pirate colony? Can you do that or no?

kenshi? hello?

Any planet type can have volatiles but gas giants are the most common source of them, yes.

Do it and build a nice space station to poop on them. They're just dumb robots

Any way for reducing supply use? Running survey missions to deep space is impossible with a large fleet. I use so much fuel and supplys I go bankrupt.

I have the one perk that supposedly reduces it.

Destroy the station and they'll stop spawning, I think.

If there is no station you'll just have to kill off the ones already present

either more money or less boats, your pick

Is there anyway to get rid of broken ship hulls or is it just do the expensive repair or just buy a new one

They're space arabs since they're the largest space oil producer and have an iran flavor due to being confined to one system but still super militarized.

Alright, thanks. Now if only they didn't have the worst fucking hazard ratings short of volcanic worlds.

my supply holds hurt just thinking about it

whatever you do don't sell them your spare blueprints, because I'm 90% sure that's why every pirate armada in my game is running Oddeseys alongside those new sexy Atlas Mk.IIs

Good thing I didn't sell them a good capital by mistake

so eve online? it's just not fun since it's had the same economy and politics for 15+ years

I would love this game with just a coop mode tho

Your own faction can provide resources, they're called "in-faction sources" and you can see them on the Credits/Month section of the F1 menu. But if anything isn't supplied then trade transports get automatically called from other factions, and if they get attacked you get penalties against you. You need to make sure you have enough resource for your colonies. The big issue is food, you need at minimum 4 food just to start with, which means a planet needs to make 8 to support itself and another planet.

Additionally, the upkeep costs are reduced by planets within a system up to 50%, so stacking multiple planets which complement each other is a good idea. Each planet only gets 4 slots and there are 9 industries (with tech being one which runs out eventually anyway, so its really 8). So a perfect system would be two planets which can cover all 8 industries.

desu the only sectors worth taking are the ones around the core worlds, trying to survive in the fringes sucks unless you find a system or two which can support each other with everything you need and you have millions to quickly upgrade them to cover everything.

Yeah, factions use the blueprints, nanoforges, and cyclotrons you sell them.

Don't forget to pick up all your legitimate supplies and fuel in the handy duty free shop on your way out of a dumpster fire planet.

Like pirates wouldn't prey on eachother for easy ships and money unless they were from the same station

I heard the issue is that player controlled phase ships warp time and that makes multiplayer unviable

Also because netcode is hard

yeah, pirates are more like a faction than actual pirates. kinda dumb that they can go toe-to-toe with actual fleets instead of doing hit-and-run strikes against trade convoys and raiding colonies.

How is the endgame in this game? Is it possible to annihilate the fractions and become the sole ruler or is one bound to to be a errand boy forever?

It is possible to destabilize a planet so badly it collapses and then you move in.

People apparently do it for sweet bluelobster. I mean uh, liberty, yeah.

The game isnt finished yet, the real end game isnt there. But we have the ability to colonize planets or steal them from other factions so yes, you can rule everyone.

It seems like the game is pretty close to feature completion though, I imagine 1.0 is just all the [REDACTED] and gate mechanics.

Is it me or is the organ market shit now? Past games shitty pirate stations would always pay out the ass for them and Noimos would always have a surplus to buy cheap, but now the market is basically nobody buys or sells them for any more than anyone else. Drugs feel weaker as well but at least pathers still buy that shit up now and then.

You still cant produce lobsters yourself
Right?

that's only 29 ships and a bunch of fighters

the fuck is that coral looking thing? where do i find it?

The organ market's really inconsistent, yeah.

Hohohohoho

user, you can make Aquaculture (replaces farms) on water worlds, and on Askonia it gives you lobsters.

Single most profitable resource on its own, not to mention its the only one which you can guarantee a profit by trading it yourself since it increases in value the further out you fly from the home world.

Can't you just raid those guys that have the big organ market so you'll get bigger prices?

It inceases fuel production in the fuel industry by 3

You salvage it

Synchotron

Its a special item which increases fuel production on a colony by +3

In other words MAD DOSH SON

Yes, you can do that with any resource.

synchrotron core, slap it on fuel refinery to turn fuel into moar fuel. Find it wading through trash same as other goodies

Favourite ship for dunking on larger ships? Riced out Sunder for me

Should every colony in a system have a patrol HQ?

Yeah

What about commerce and waypoints?

My Colony is in a binary system with one of the stars being a neutron star. If I wait around in system the ai glitches and continuously spawns fleets that never leave lagging my game and making my colony unraidable, is this good or bad?

Imagine being a poor unlucky soul on a Domain sleeper, being woken from your cryosleep to go work in the mines of some shithole planet

Structures are either industry or not, the ones which are not you should upgrade all of them if you can afford it.

For industry, only the ones you need, you only get 4 slots.

with the new system slots aren't a problem anymore so there's no reason not to have all of the structure buildings, megaport, waystation, etc. It's industries you need to be picky about, since you can only have a max of four on one planet after size 7. Commerce is an industry and patrol station becomes one if you upgrade it so keep them to one per system maybe.

So I'm currently on my first playthrough and after doing bounties and trading illegal stuff, I wanna go exploring shit. But I honestly have no idea what I should be doing. Do I just go wherever? Anything special I should be taking? Anything I should be doing? I honestly have no idea what I'm doing outside of the core systems

Do missions that make you salvage derelict stuff and survey planets

>take exploration missions, they'll point you to useful stuff/recoup the costs of actually flying out that far
>follow salvagers if you see any flying out of the core worlds they always go to salvage rich systems

As you get tougher and build a bigger fleet you should be seeing tougher and meaner bounties and generally they're further out too. Making an expedition out to a high value bounty then exploring the area for goodies is a nice bit of fun.

You can take survey commisions and earn some dosh on that and explore/survey systems that are along the way.

Make sure to have tankers and combat freighters. You need about 600 crew at the most for surveying. 340 heavy machines are the most ive everyseen for a planet. And supply costs are a bitch so always bring as much supplies as possible other than that just avoid hitting storms and look at the minimap to see the paths between. If you see domain probes or anything of the sort make sure to grab the good shit like AI cores and tech and leave behind metals and other resources if you dont have the room.

Tell that to my piles of alexcoin, not my fault Atzlan practically gives fuel away and Chalcedon goes through it like water

Is there a mod that let's me play as any of the factions at the start?

Whats the point of civilian transports? Are they basically more freighters?

Everyone says do missions but fuck that.

Get a medium tanker, fill it with fuel, get supplies for a long time, and fly towards a black hole. Look for those warning beacons and research stations near black holes or suns. The secret is to have enough supplies and fuel that you can just hit a shitload of systems. Missions are just too far away and sporadic.

Nexerelin

Nexerelin
Sometimes you need a lot of dudes, like colonizing a planet or raiding a planet
Might be worth if youre running a suicide fleet too

Nexerelin

Also only survey planets that you think might be level 3 to 5. And seriously, only survey that shit if it's either small or you have survey ships. Otherwise just look for derelicts and stations to salvage. Get the perks for it too.

So you can colonize planets, have enough manpower to do surveys or to man new ships you salvage

They're freighters for people, yes. You don't really need them unless you have either all small ships that can't support their own crew needs or loads of carriers and need a huge crew to supply the meatgrinder maybe. One Nebula has been enough for my entire game no matter how many bigass ships I have.

Shut the fuck up, you took my Colony a week right after I started it while I was colonizing another planet in the same system. Nobody likes you, I will take your planets now fucko, especially that juicy 50% hazard rating one.

thomas the tank engine ships

Both. Send them by selecting carriers and right clicking what you want to die, or selecting individual ships and selecting "fighter strike". Or just getting close, without any orders, they will send fighters and bombers at will. If you give the carrier an escort order, it will send fighters as escorts.

Should I keep my fleet at two ships until warping to Galatia?

Maybe the big boys will ignore me then.

does the game world in general tend to "regenerate"? or was everything just placed there for the player and then nobody else can find anything?

You can invest some supplies to stabilize the pods in orbit, quickly run back to Core, buy some freighters and haul it all back. Throw away the metals first because they aren't worth it.

I belive you just salvaged an operating satelite from another faction just like i did :). Only do this if you DGAF about the faction. This is sabotage, you know?

it attracts jihadists and hegemony inspections, which can be dealt with via violence or bribery respectively

I'd say. As far as ships go, onslaught is pretty fucking cool. Not to mention all those sweet hardpoints.

also unrelated but what do i do with all the different shit like ores, metal, transplutonics etc? Is it just for quests/colonies or do they serve some other purpose?

You can get the perk that increases chance to salvage stuff, or just buy trash ships on the market for cheaper. I have a pretty solid trashcan fleet, I just make sure I get ships that aren't expensive fuel/supply wise

That's the dumbest fucking shit and I'd never use it, but holy fuck that's hilarious

Manufacturing or selling

That...that'd never work in a 3d environment

Nevermind, I got patrols and it's fine now

>ores, metal, transplutonics etc?
Sell them when you see a contract or when there's a shortage to make some money.

Not with that attitude.

Be an errand boy and run sensor package/survey while salvaging the outer rim, if you get lucky you can even find a prestine cruiser without D-mods. Or go pewpew and be a bounty hunter/commissioned until you squirrel away enough money for a cruiser or capital ship. Then repeat until you can get another and build on that. Max most the shit in the tech tree by lvl 15 then decide what you want to do, then spec for it. Don't build a colony unless you can defend it from serveral capital ships.

good thing starsector is a 2d game then
christ people say the dumbest shit

how do i make my patrols stronger?

buy onslaughts and then upgrade into Paragon if possible

So I've recently started my colonies and find pirates a giant fucking pain. I've checked and there is only 1 pirate planet with heavy industry if I blow it up will that affect the amount of pirate ships? Since they shouldnt be able to produce more.

That ship is just an Easter Egg anyway. I don't even think you can still get it without console commands.

Forgot to add that is a station, so it can totally be nuked into oblivion.

>a 160k bounty has an Onslaught and 7 carriers/cruisers
>a fleet capable of dealing with that will be so expensive to drive there the bounty won't even pay for supplies/fuel

Put together a salvage fleet with a high burn, and go salvage every system with a Danger Beacon you can find. You'll be all set to build a colony for infinite money in no time.

Is it possible to remove without resorting to a warcrime?

If you're some kind of shit tier pleb maybe.

If your colony has the "pirates are fucking with you" debuff found in the intel screen somewhere then destroying the station will remove it

I think your fleet to deal with that might be a little overkill

you can only do warcrimes on people though

I know, but the fucking pirate stations keep popping up faster then I can nuke them, at least the path terror memes give you a year to fuck around.

I want a more long term solution to the pirate problem.

If you raid a colony a bunch, it will eventually shrink and be abandoned.

Gryphon missilespam

If you have max ships in your fleet (30) you don't get to salvage

Raiding the planet with marines gives it a hit to stability. You can do one raid every day. Spend 20 days raiding one and it'll be so devastated that it will depopulate after few months. No warcrimes, plus you get a lot of loot.

Are there any mobile games that capture a similar feel that starsector gives off?

Astral is by far the best flagship.

Coluss with militarized subs + extra cargo space has a burn rate of 8 and can hold ~1200 cargo, I use two of them.

It's okay man, there are always brighter and easier days ahead. I've managed to make myself go to bed before midnight when last week I was up til like 4 playing this, and I had to be at work at 8... So ready for this weekend.

Nah I buy the small cheap ones since they have higher burn. 10 or bust

Altas with militarized subsystems, drive field and navigation skill has a burn rate of 10, and allows you to cruise at 20 (max) drive while having infinite cargo storage.

What are some must have mods for this game?
So far I'm thinking Nexerelin, since it doesn't seem to change vanilla combat or factions but adds a bunch of features that should really be in the game already

Paragon or Astral? If anyone says the O-word I'm shooting.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Ludd

Is this the american 'work 4 jobs to make ends meet' dream?

Both to be honest
Paragon as an area denial beamship
Astral for drowning the enemy in fighters
If I had to pick just one, I'd go Paragon.

30 luddic path brawlers with sabots and HAC's.

Does militarized subsystems cancel out the extra supply upkeep from extra cargo space?

Paragon kills any other ship in 1vs1.

Just got an Alpha core. Not dumb enough to put a rampant AI in charge of a planet. Thinking about giving it to the Independents, they're the only faction that fucking likes me.

*impossible as we know it

I know right? Its the shit.

Tri will give you the most money if you hand it into them personally rather than sell it

Have you tried piloting an Onslaught instead, friend?

No its literally impossible, there is no way to travel faster than light. You would require literally infinite energy to even reach the point of travel, then infinite energy to then travel the distance.

This is actually widely accepted to be 100% impossible.

We don't have time travelers so it's definitively impossible.

*laser beam sounds*

these arguments are literally the definition of impossible as we understand. It's entirely possible there is a way to achieve it that has not or will never be discovered

>This is actually widely accepted to be 100% impossible.

The only remotely plausible method requires exotic matter and has energy consumption measured in solar masses

As long as enough gitz belief it so, it'll be Waaagh!

Jesus. No anons, there is finite energy and you would need INFINITE energy to even reach the speed of light. NASA has literally come out and said FTL is impossible. This isnt a problem of 'maybe' its a literal absolute No.

>you would need INFINITE energy to even reach the speed of light
According to the current physical model, you absolute nigger, which explicitly only works for speeds LESS than speed of light, because that's all we have seen so far. Scientific models aren't absolute truth, they are made to approximate things we've seen and can be revised and expanded when new things are observed in nature. You are basically saying that FTL doesn't exist because we have never seen it.

What if we have perpetual motion machines whoa again it's just as we understand it. All we have to do is just believe.

Funny because there is literally no evidence anyone ever thought that, they didnt have the technology that doesnt mean anyone thought it was impossible.

Again, I think you fuckwits need to learn what "infinite energy" means, it means impossible. But what the fuck would NASA and every scientist ever know right.

In the future the physics will change and it'll be practical to make giant hammer spaceships spin around and smash enemy ships.

Is Nexerelin any good?

The thing is, the speed of light isn't just a "super fast speed", it's the speed of causality (hence the c notation). It's the fastest speed at which information itself travels. It's not a model result, it's something that has been measured. That's why it cannot be exceeded.

If you need infinite energy to move at the speed of light light would need infinite energy.

as opposed to us all dying on a polluted rock because retards want to make money

NOOO BUT MY NERD FANTASIES

for now

Okay, but what would you do when the enemy has a shield? My 2 tach 2 plas Para would dunk on yours after a minutes-long slogfest.

How do we know there isn't shit traveling faster than the speed of light, just completely undetectable to us?

We are all going to die on this polluted rock. There's no financial incentive to sending humans into space in meaningful numbers.

i wanna fuck that ship

Do organics count as food?

Yours would, but against everyone else mine is a lot more fun to play. In the end, the only ship that would destroy the Paragon is Paragon.

Because anything faster could not exist

Let's put it that way, if the speed of light can be exceeded, then the Entropy is a lie and we actually live in a simulation.

Well that's my point. It's not about money. It's about GOIN INTO SPACE BAYBEEEE but no people wanna have big bank account

No.

user these retards have the equivalent of a prep school science education based off star wars. They have no grasp of the concept.

well that is a possibility

Can Paragon get EMP'd through a raised fortress shield? I found that three squadrons of Claws disable Onslaughts' engines and weaponry alarmingly fast despite its flux being close to zero.

according to the shitty theory we have that barely explains anything*

thats oil, user

How do I know I am hitting the hull instead of armor?

I love how every thread there people giving litereally the worst advice possible
>just get a fleet of shepards
>you fleet never needs a salvage rig
>needs more swarmers
>blackrock is a completly vanilla friendly mod

If you are desperate enough

lol

>We live on literally the best environment we will ever find in the entire universe even though its impossible for us to leave our local cluster and we could become 100% self sustaining on earth if people stopped being envious greedy dick heads
>Lets leave for Mars lol!
Please do, remember to breath its fresh air without a helmet.

things with mass need infinite energy, massless particles (photons and gluons) always move at the speed of light

There's a schematic of your target next to its readouts - colored regions represent armor.

It's no wonder when bible studies are part of the mandatory courses. Lets teach kids to never trust science, nothing bad could ever comes from it right?

According to the laws of the universe which are defined, proven and inalienable.

You literally have no idea what you're talking about, have sex.

With sensor strength it's only relevant for the highest in the fleet? As in it doest matter if you have 1 or 10 ships with 150 strength. And more=see farther correct?

Explosions and decreasing "HULL" bar.
You can also get an idea where the armor is broken on an enemy ship by hovering over it and pressing R. This also will make your auto-weapons prefer it as target.

shoutout to the user that suggested purchasing a fleet of wolves for the meme

that shit is hilarious

Saying that FTL is impossible is like saying that flight impossible because nobody can jump with enough force to counter Earth's gravity. It's a speed limit for causality because we validated that causality based on what we can observe.

That is not to say that there is an infinite speed which anything can travel at but it's incredible arrogance to assume that nothing can travel faster than casuality just because we haven't observed anything faster, or taking shortcuts to be effectively faster.

you're right, so what happens when it's not like that anymore and it looks a lot like mars

>all these uneducated morons ITT
Alright, niggers, let me explain something. Speed of light being the absolute limit, the impossibility of infine sources of energy (i.e. the three laws of thermodynamics) and other such things are POSTULATES. They CAN NOT be proven BY DEFINITION, they are ASSUMED to be true based on our observations of nature, because we need to have something to build other theories upon. As soon as a fact arises that contradicts these postulates (extremely unlikely, but possible), they get thrown out of the window and we come up with new ones, that explain the newly observed phenomena. It has already appened multiple times throughout history of physics, which you would have known if you ever finished school.

The laws of universe are not defined to us. There are observations and theories, nothing more.

you literally have no understanding of science. absolutely nothing is a fact unless it's tangible and even then it could be wrong. Everything can be overturned. That's the pursuit of science

On the bright side humanity has been progressing steadily, lets hope all the space wanna-be twats go on a Telsa rocket to Mars and die so we can focus on making Earth immortal.

Its additive per ship, you combine them together. So you can mod each ship with the 60/100 sensor for more range. Large ships and certain research vessels have the biggest sensors, but also get detected the furthest.

also im not sure if this is related but im starting to find a tonne of derelict capitals and cruisers near my systems

Five ships with largest sensor strength count. Also hover over it in lower left corner to see the breakdown.

>if people stopped being envious greedy dick heads

The implication of this is that they should stop having so many kids. Unfortunately, the only technologically reasonable solutions (one-child policy, child tax) to the overconsumption/overharvesting crisis are opposed by the right, left and center, because limiting consumption means destroying the modern debt-driven economic system.

When you press R on a ship you get a model of it with squares, each square represents some armor, once it goes black you're hitting the hull and can damage the systems.

More like it's incredible arrogance to assume that certain fundamental properties of the universe can be changed just because we say so and tomorrow 1+1 will equal 3.

>confusing the literal fucking foundations of existence and theories/models
Wew. Go ahead user, squeeze that rock im sure you'll get blood out of it.

No, 100% wrong. These laws are ENTIRELY proven, solid and finished. We're done here you have zero grasp of science.

If it's proven then you should have no problem presenting the evidence instead of going IT IS KNOWN

quick! post onslaught fits!

The word you're looking for is religion. Nothing is proven in science in relation to our world.

Fear of overpopulation is a meme and proven to be irrelevant, all nations have moved through a five stage population growth ending with a fifth stage of stagnation, you just have to reach the critical point where parents have high odds of not losing kids and strong economic stability.

Trying to fuck around with your population ends with imbalance (China) or collapse (Japan). All you have to do is provide a strong economy and the best health care possible.

How is your play through going?

Sindarion Kitkat

I did that for a bit. It's kinda clever but I hope it gets changed because its pretty dumb. Now I'm a vulture that cleans up wrecks

>no shredder turret
why?

You're telling me that a civilization that is still on a ball of dirt and rock which has yet to send a probe into a black hole, which has yet to be able to predict quantam particles with any degree of certainty and who throws their hands up at determining anything with absolute certainty because they are limited in observing the universe by bumping things into things has truly understood the universe and how it works?

Then an ant is correct in their understanding that the universe is bright half the time and dark the other period because those are universal laws proven by their observations.

Nah, comission is fine. It's not free money, because your faction will go to war often, causing you a lot of troubles just moving around hostile systems. And when the war ends, you don't recover all of the reputation you had with them.
