You need to keep it in your fleet and research it

The fully fixed version is quite good

Im terrified that im going to get that annoying de-civilized debuff and its going to ruin my 50% world.

And its a lot of work to keep murdering these pirate bases as they appear.

its a good ship make sure to kit it out with the most rupture cannons or you're a retard

Learn to manage your flux and don't go cowboy into a pack of enemies

Good advice. Any tips on what weapons are good? It might be me not utilizing them properly, but a lot of weapons feel like they do piddly damage to hulls/armor.

I feel like im the only human who ever posts this

lowtech if you can support it, its shields are shit but with the armor and as long as it comes to pure firepower it’s a beast

Check weapon types. Ballistics are good against shields, high explosive against hulls and armor and fragmentation is not really worth it in general, just use it on PD against fighters and missiles. EMP is great if the enemy is constantly at high flux as EMP damage tends to penetrate shields at very high target flux levels and arc to components, disabling them, which can even be the engine and you know that a flameout when you're at high flux and under fire is a death sentence. Energy damage deals 100% to everything, which is why it is good for bursts of high flux/high damage like phase/tachyon lances or antimatter blasters.

A mix of anti-shield and anti-armor is the best, hull doesn't matter much actually, what matters if how much flux you are expending while shooting, a steady stream of bullets is usually better than overheating every other second, also vents are more important than max capasity becouse shortening your recovery time is more important than shooting a bit more

you probably are, most of the charts aren’t even updated to 0.9, but most of the info still applies

Oh shit, fucking fantastic, thanks.
Will take this advice to heart, thanks a lot.

Do patrol stations benefit from heavy industry on other colonies within the same system?

I have two planets together, and ive got a heavy industry on one but im not planning on building it on the second, but will the second still get better ships?

They can do inter-system imports, which means if one colony has a shortage of something and the other produces it, it will supply a friendly colony. So there's no use to do two of the same. Patrol stations are independent for every colony and to even field serious patrols you need heavy industry. With a pristine nanoforge installed your ships will have zero d-mods.

Okay, thanks user.

Thankfully both planets are right next to each other so hopefully the fleets keep them both safe. The pirates are attacking every month now and ive already taken out three bases.

Missiles
Missile builds are way more powerful than pretty much anything other build in the game

Does it matter how big and strong my fleet is if I'm getting ready to start a colony? I have about 880k right now and still have a fairly small fleet I think.

I've seen people saying to save up 1-2 mil before starting colonies.

>I have about 880k right now and still have a fairly small fleet I think.
You need more.

At minimum you need a fully kitted out capital class ship and 2 million dosh. The ship for taking down all the pirates that attack and the money to get started with all the defense buildings you need.

If I go hardened subsystems + disable safety bullshit is that a 3 * 0.5 = 1.5x degradation rate? I There's no fuckin way I'm using this carrier with 30 flight speed. With the two mods and injectors I got it up to like 80 which is usable in my fleet.

Its becouse you need a somewhat big fleet to babysit your colony for a while and becouse you need a lot of money to start any industry, some cost 500k and up to 2.5m, and that's only one, add to that the other structures and you will end up naked in the wind when a few pirate ships come in

Bullshit, I started my first colony with 300k and 2 destroyers. It was fucking hard, but I did it. You just keep the colony small and rake in the garbage10k a month while you do other things. If it gets raided you just say whatever. Definitely get the defensive station and patrol hq up before anything else. Farms if it can, they're cheap.

does anyone know how to increase the amount of colonies that your main character can administrate?

Where's the file to edit to make battle sizes actually interesting?

If you can't take out a basic pirate base, don't even bother showing up.

You need bigger ships user, a couple more hammerheads at least, drop some wolfs, also get some supply ships like fuel tankers and cargo ships, those are basicaly mandatory later on if you want a big fleet

Do I really need to keep flying through 5-6 ports every run back to the core for supplies late game? Its really obnoxious needing literally thousands.

I've been dropping ships gradually, mostly hounds that i had a lot more of, and some kites. I'm playing on ironman so I'm always hesitant to pick up new ships for a large amount of capital. I've already had two instances where I lost some really good ships to pirates after only having them for a little bit.

I put two reapers on the front and two assault chainguns with safety overrides and it shreds.

One good advise is to keep your ships together in a fight so they don't get shot by 5 ships alone, try to get accostumed with the command screen in a simulation and watch them fight

thanks, now i can expand my empire into shit tier planets so the fucking pirates stop spawning next to my money makers

Yeah most of my experiences are where i just get jumped by pirates after taking some kind of trade mission where I just bought a big freighter or something and while I can kind of defend myself I usually end up losing my freighter and the cargo. I also lost my first light carrier in a similar way. I just tried to run because I was super out numbered and my carrier was just too slow and got overwhelemed.

Railguns and heavy mortar at the front with savot missiles for extra shield breaking

suprised there are no Tyranid mods or just more xeno mods in general

retreating is by far the worst mechanic in the game, it basically doesn't matter and you are better off fighting usually, also there's another type of ships called Tugs thant can help your feet move faster, basically they give a +1 to your max burn, emergency burn also helps in running away if they are too close

my max sustained right now is 20, i know about the tug mechanic but i barely ever see them. I'll keep it in mind though. Most of my pirate run-ins were when i was still learning the ropes. I've been better about avoiding those situations.

Varya's mod has space communists that use red ships.

So I managed to find my 3rd Legion XIV.
I stored the first one somewhere and I just found 2 in 2 systems right next to each other.
Can I build my fleet around these things?

Yes.

Is there a reliable way to get nanoforges?

I just started and picked a freighter. The game lets me remove my auxiliary fuel tanks but not add even more cargo holds. Is there something I'm missing or do I just need a bigger ship?

There are a fair amount of refits a Hammerhead can work with.

There isn't a reliable way to get anything, but your best bet is looking for research stations, orbital habitats and mining outposts around systems with black holes and take contracts that require you to survey domain era probes as they can be found in systems with a variety of derelicts too.

Research stations and motherships give the best bets. I find that taking exploration missions will usually lead me into a system with lots more stuff than just randomly exploring. If you get a bit of information from a probe saying there is a research station/mothership in X system its a good bet something good will be there.

Just be prepared with a big fleet because the AI are strong.

not really. The drops aren't random so you can't reload a save and hope for a better drop the nanoforges (and the cyclotrons or whatever the name is for the fuel ones) seem to only drop in the derelict stations.

The screenshot shows that you've expanded your cargo, m8, the mod is installed already. You can add fuel tanks on top too, but it will cost you extra in maintenance supply use unless it's installed on top of a ship with militarized subsystems.

How do I locate the pirate and luddic nigger basea in my colonies?

All mods can only be applied once. If you need even more cargo, you need a larger ship or more freighters.

The second is a better idea in general.

>cruising around the outer rim and performing COIN against Luddic Pathers and destroying their strongholds
pretty fucking comfy feeling, not gonna lie

for the pirates bases check on the bar, there will be one sad spacer that you can chat up with and they will give you the location of the base. For pathers, i don't know. Usually you can have an agent infiltrate the local cell and kill them all, but i'm not sure if that's vanilla or not.

How should i upgrade my fleet and also how good is its composition?
I have the kites mostly when pursuing so i can deploy them on the sides and have them flank.

It's alright, but kites are a joke, even if you put best weapons on them. They are a last resort civilian retrofit, not a combat capable frigate.

Thanks, also is it better to use a big carrier as my flagship and have the rest of the fleet destroyers and such, or use a bigass gunship as my flagship and have 2/3 carriers do their thing?

Yeah its called starsector-core\data\config\settings.json and edit "maxShipsInFleet":

go to settings and look for the modifier for player fleet. I always play with 100 ships so I can actually consider frigates in the lategame against 5 gorrillion remnant fleets

>I always play with 100 ships
How do you deal with all that fuel and supplies? I don't mean buying it or the storage, i mean where do you even find that much fuel? With a large fleet myself i barely go from system to system buying all the fuel i can get so i don't go dry in the middle of nowhere

Let the carriers do their thing and use a good ship that is best suited to player hands, doesn't matter what it is. Destroyer or gunship or cruiser.

You also need to increase supply deployment limits to something like 2500 otherwise no matter how many ships in fleet you or enemies have, you could field at most 10-15 per battle.

You end up draining like 3 systems of supplies and gas spending almost half a mil just to go do a 300k bounty that you win by spamming trash dmod ships with reinforcement like a real pirate

If you want to raid stations and planets for swag you need marines.

For raids and apparently in previous versions, boarding. Also they're a tradeable resource like food except they take up crew space instead of regular cargo space

Is there a way to tailor my bar mission options? I'm driving a freighter yet I've got guys offering bounty hunting missions.

can you combine mods and use them all at once or are they incompatible when you start the game?

Okay but what does raiding a planet or station do?

i dont think its the majority but try and stop them using makeup is futile at this point

no you can use multiple. maybe not the really big ones

Reapers. Anything else is irrelevant.

Diable?
Neutrino?

Hegemony?

How many ships supply cost wise can be deployed in a single battle. Each ship costs supplies to deploy, if the limit for example is 500, that means only that much worth of supplies in ships can be deployed per battle. If the fleets are larger than what can be deployed, you will have to play several battles instead of one. If, for example, your fleet is smaller and the enemy fleet is larger, you will be disallowed from deploying all your ships and the chunk of battle size limit you can use for deployment will be smaller you.

Militarized subsystems because installing it nullifies the penalty to supply use for maintenance you get when installing cargo or fuel expansion on civilian hulls and it also increases the burn speed, which civilian ships frequently have at a low number.

How do you outfit a legion? I'm pretty new to the game and I'm far enough that I think I have to build a cohesive fleet where each ship has it's role instead of clicking on autofit for everything.
But I have no idea how to outfit carriers.
I read the image linked in this thread and I think I'll go 2x longbow for shield removal and 2 Khopesh for armor damage, but how do you outfit the rest of the ship.
Just pure defense with flack cannons and shit?

What determines commission pay? I'm loving my pretend colony income early game.

For the normal Legion I run 5 hypervelocity drivers up on the front, a typhoon reaper launcher on each side then fill the rest of the slots with vulcans. It builds up flux fast but it will also burn shields down quickly.

I just noticed the normal legion is different to XIV.
I've got the XIV version. In fact I have fucking 3 of them, but there is no way I could field all 3 right now.

You can run the same on the XIV just with the cylones on the sides.

Not up to date. There's a reaper launcher fighter now. It's awesome.

the faction system does not fit xenos

this might change in later updates

I think default engage/regroup keybindings are T or Y. Target a ship with R then toggle engage to send fighters over. When you have bombers or lose a lot of fighters make sure to regroup until you are near or at full wing size again. Indicators at the bottom near your weapon groups should show how many are missing or need to rearm.

The prices aren't RNG, they're determined by the actual production surplus/shortfall of the colonies and influenced by things like raids destroying/disabling production.

This is getting insane, what is the point of not using AI if the AI continuously attacks you anyway, might as well take all the market share possible.

Honestly my character has 0 combat ability because all the utility skills are crazy good. Fucking boring though, I wanna be good at fight.

Yes, one absolutely fucking massive advantage is that each planet can produce its own patrol fleet, so with a few planets all in the same system you end up never having to babysit your colonies from raids ever again (unless redacted show up lmao)

IMO I wouldn't colonize a system with less than 4 colonizable planets because of this. It's too much fucking hassle dealing with raids otherwise.

Make a new character, take combat only, use nothing but tiny cute frigate to destroy everything

Listen dude, I don't care what they say, if I can make money running errands between starsystems, I'm just as good as the rest of the Merchants, if not better. I even set up shop in a System with no Tariffs. Why can't the other factions like me like they used to?

Neutrino

be warned neutrino ships/weapons are massively OP compared to vanilla

I liked how they looked but dropped the mod because of this. I'd say about half the mods you can download are OP as fuck and completely ruin game balance.

1. Colonies can supply each other within a system
2. Colonies reduce the supply requirements by 50% for each other colony in a system (i.e. a common ore planet will reduce the requirements on your ore requiring world)
3. You can stack multiple patrol HQs on each planet, doubling/tripling/ect your fleet strength.

Its better to find a system with a bunch of great worlds, than to find a system with one perfect world.

well fuck Alex, his game SUCKS

There a way to change that in settings?

I should be rewarded for using salvage rigs and punished for not using them. Rare shit shouldn't be recoverable without putting something into it.

Let the player take one over and run some minor production like using a nanoforge for making personal ships, or a synchotron for fuel but not to the same scale that a colony does it and you would have to pay taxes to the local system owner(s)

>an unfinished game has bugs

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

holy fuck i just found out that when in "Go Dark" mode, if you move while holding down S you move at a slow pace so your detection range is lowered

That was literally just introduced in the latest patch

And it was introduced because one of the mods (scy nation) has ships that also consume way less supplies/fuel if you move at 2 or 3 or whatever burn.

I guess the idea being extending how long you can play spider before jumping some hobo

FUCKING PHASE SHITTERS KEEP DABBING ON MY ENGINES

You probably would have to edit the ability, which would edit it for other ships as well (shepard eg)

Their is a mod called Vesperon Combine that adds a money sink that generates 'tech caches' which have all the rare shit in them if your worried about not finding enough loot but they are usually heavily guarded and needed for postgame.

>no thumper

>fought a pather station for the first time
the fuck do they feed these things?
why the fuck does their flux not go out even though i'm magdumping my entire fleet on it?

stations are all around fucked up, alex needs to fix them right fucking now

The thumper is a one trick pony and I never waste a slot on it.

By the time your enemy is taking hull damage it's usually too late for them, anyway

so vulcans are shit?

Is it worth bringing refit guns with you? Changing before each fight is really annoying. Question mainly for iron mode bros since you can just reload in normal game.

Is it normal for GraphicsLib to not show up in the mod list? Lazy lib and Magic lib do but Graphics doesn't just to be sure I don't have an old version its not under shader lib either.

Same

All these old ass games I play that AMD struggles like hell with. Although I don't have major problems with starsector, I do with second life.

I can't believe I fell for the AMD meme. Their cpu's are okay but their gpu's are garbage. Even their supposedly improved overlay stuff is just a fancy UI while all the genuinely useful features and options are stripped away.

Next card's going to be nvidia again just because AMD can't get their shit together and make proper opengl drivers or add actual settings/options to their stuff.

Refit costs CR and supplies, so doing it just before a fight is kind of suicidal

You probably aren't dumping hard enough, because proper pressure with kinetic weapons + some serious anti-armor like reapers or tachyon lances will fuck low tech station up just fine. Only scary one is last tier high tech.

If I like Starsector, will I like Kenshi?

Obviously it's completely different gameplay wise, but I like the idea of building my character up from a nobody, amassing an army to overcome obstacles, exploring and building my own colony/outpost. Does Kenshi have this same focus?

I have the opposite problem, Lazylib and Graphicslib show, but Magiclib, Diable and Imperium dont

what is song

I heard it somewhere before but your version sounds like an edit

maybe

tell that to the 6000 million missile spam they're handing out, which overloads every single ship on the sector, and the fact that all of my ships go around and attack different portions of the ship because they're too braindead to focus on one part AND I CAN'T TELL THEM TO DO THAT
they're awful and you simply don't have enough control over your own AI for the battle to be fair

Yes, you will not be disappointed.

>autistic management simulators

>Sci-fi

>strategy games
Kind of. If you're into 4X, install the nexerelin mod, it enables your to capture planets with your faction

Even if you're not into 4X installing nexerelin is a good idea. It basically makes this a new game

No, Kenshit is a game that was abandoned as an alpha and has no content.

>onslaught without missiles

How good are XIV ships? I found a falcon the black market but I feel like I might have scrapped a couple early game without realising how rare they are.

>dont pay back the tri-tachyon moneylender at the bar

Okay then. Quickload and pay

this is okayish, but you should have some other frigades, 2 kites is all you ever need, more is foolish.

I'll give it a shot. Do I need mods for the first time playing? Is this some standalone big new game or some obscure project by a group of autists?

They have better armor, more OP but slightly lower speed (because of the extra armor plating)

XIV eagles rule

yes

I have played both and I like starsector more than kenshi.

Kenshi is okay and it does what you say you want out of it, but suffers tremendously from not having anything to do by mid-game. Basically once you've gone around and explored everything, built your own outpost, there's nothing left to kenshi. It's like a game where the content part of the game was never added or worked on, just the base mechanics.

So while the base mechanics are fun, it stops being interesting after you got a handle on combat and your base building autism sorted, because there's literally nothing else to the game. It's empty as fuck.

What do you even use? You're supposed to have eagles/dominators before fucking with station, if you trying to tank it with destroyers no wonder you have a problem.

>got a tri-tach loan
>bought a bunch of large freighters for shipping missions and running contraband to pirate worlds

ez money

It's worked on by like 1-5 people I think 1 guy and he contracts some stuff like artwork/sound

He updates about 1-2 times per year and has been working on this game for 10 years. He is REALLY SLOW on updates (but consistent) and the content in a 6 month/1 year update is what you'd normally see in another games' 2-3 month update.

You can play with mods your first time, it doesn't really make a big difference. There's only 1 overhaul worth shit (nexerelin) that actually changes the base gameplay. Every other mod is either just another faction with the same mechanics as every other faction, or utility stuff like UI changes or better graphics.

>these variants
So this is the power of 39 mods enabled. 46 including libs and portrait packs. Still waiting on a few mods for updates/translation.

I think there's one or two buildings where it doesn't provide any benefits but for the rest it's a flat increase.

As I've said, it's not my decision who tanks in these fights because the AI does whatever the fuck it wants and my hands are tied because of the stupid fucking command point system.
I've got battleships and battlecarriers, it matters jack shit because they all lag behind me (again: retarded), meanwhile the frigates and destroyers think they're fucking Onslaughts and try to face tank an entire station's worth of missiles.

I'm thinking Heron or Mora with a bunch of Sparks and some Flak cannons, will that do?

Not similar to 4x at all.

Has more in common with roguelikes than it does with 4x

Is this a full game?

remove level cap in the settings and eventually be good at combat too (starts to take a long time to level though)

Pretty much

It's not quite 1.0 yet, though

Depends the weapons they get is based of known weapon mods you unlocked.

Is it even possible to beat a station above level 1 without an endgame fleet?

Okay so the AI works by ship type. If you put guns on a carrier it's still gonna act like a carrier. Knowing this, you can just use escort commands at the beginning of a fight to hold you fleet together. That way you can just order one large ship around and the 5 or so ships that rally on it will go with it. Basically all you need to do from there is press C and E on various targets that fuck up and become easy pickings.

Gamma cores are basically useless. Just take them to tritach and talk to honcho in port and trade that shit in for easy money

Beta are okay, but Alpha cores are when you get colonies that basically print unlimited money for you.

Not bad but you're gonna be fuckin stoked when you experience true luck

>situational means I should never use it
speak for yourself man, robbing newbies of options is mean

Gammas are extremely useful to put on your industries when you don't have alphas or betas to put there.

I take back my comments about the legion being bad

I just faced one with 4 khopesh wings and it was awful

easily, just dont do what the pirates do. your ships should skirt the defences while applying pressure till it goes down unless you order an eliminate command. its the defending fleets plus the station that gets messy

Go to /g/ and tell that in the PC build theread. The amd shills will screetch and accuse you all of being one guy who is evading a ban an then report you for believing up this uncomfortable truth.

Rare

Attached: screenshot220.png (1055x795, 673K)

it has 4 missile pods, the fact you cant fucking read or see is concerning

>giving out bad advice is somehow better

You really should prioritize anti-shield weapons over anything else because

1. shield hits raises flux, which means the enemy can't fire back as much
2. High flux makes the enemy back off, making you less susceptible to being swarmed
3. it causes overloads which is when you fire the missiles that do what the thumper does

what are you gonna do about it fagboy

The better mods are very well balanced though.

it's not about needing stronger or better stuff, it's about wanting variety you mong. besides most of my added stuff is balanced or weaker

There are no various targets, the command map treats the whole stations as ONE target, when it's clearly not.
Therefore even if I do tell my entire fleet to attack the station, they'll just choose whatever module they want to attack, never get through the shields because they can't punch through, and eat dozens of missiles until they're all dead.
And since ships like the Sunder or Dominator act exactly as a frigate would, everyone just goes and stands right on the station's face instead of standing at weapon's range so the point defense has time to kill the missiles.

I understand what the dev tried to do with the multiple-modules stations but it just doesn't work unless he forces the AI to think of each module as a separate enemy.

Know which ones they suck on?

It's from prey.

Then don't deploy small shit, go with cruiser size and up.
>battlecarriers
AI has absolutely no idea what to do with legion except using it as suboptimal carrier with 10 points/wing. It works for siege if you use it yourself though - kinetic damage on medium mounts, large reaper launchers, 4x xyphlos for EMPing through shields and you can just go and fuck its shit up assuming you have some other retards to pull part of fire on themselves.
What's fitted on them? You can put 3 reaper launchers and instagib any section the moment its shields drop. 2 cruisers alone may not be enough unless you have top tier skills and officers though, get something else.

They aren't useful at all: fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=15359.0

The tl;dr is if you use gamma cores to reduce imports it (barely) helps so long as those imports are out of faction.
If you reduce same-faction imports (from your own colonies) using a gamma core actually fucks you over.

Don't use gamma cores. It takes too much time/micro to figure out what industries to put them on and when to take them out.

>asking people to acknowledge a situational weapon is bad advice
>if they know of it, they will put it in every slot and every ship

Hephaestus and Gauss cannons but the low tech battlestation still outranges them and they cant tank for very long. I also usually swarm the thing with destroyers and frigates in addition, but it was a fully upgraded one somehow built up in the middle of nowhere

You mean star fortress, with drones? That's serious shit, 2 cruisers obviously aren't enough. Although I've never seen pathers making star fortress outside of core systems myself.

No they arent, If you run more than 2 colonies which you really should you're not going to get enough beta and alpha cores to slot into all your industries for a long time.

What are you using to extract it? 7zip or a recent Winrar should both work without trouble. Did you get the mod from the forum or Nexus? Maybe the download got corrupted and you can try the other one?

It's not fully upgraded then, just a battlestation. You aren't supposed to outrange it although paragon can, and solo it, you're supposed to get close and fuck it up. Sufficient amount of kinetic damage to get through shields and HE damage to wreck it once they're down is the key.

Did you even fucking read what I posted?

Just because you have an open slot doesn't mean putting a gamma core there helps you, you fucking retard. HOLY SHIT.

You can get raided by remnant.

It just randomizes everything so each playthrough is more different, and I think fleshes out inter-faction relationships a little more with agents.

See You don't need combat ships to explore. A few top-tier frigates can easily dispatch remnant fragments and domain sentries. Just learn to sneak around and you can even explore red systems.

Pirates don't do this. Pirates need settlements alive and well so that they can rob more ships. This user more or less did what Americans did, not what pirates are doing.

30 tempests with phase lances and sabots

25 tempests + 5 omens is better. Mixing lances with ion pulsers is also a good idea.

user historical pirates didn't sink merchant ships on sight either. Starsector's idea of pirates are more akin to military blockades than real privateers.

Still though nuking a planet to resettle it not pirate behavior no matter how you look at it.

>not launching an exterminatus on every faction that dares to attack you

AI is literally too retarded to destroy a fucking lvl 2 or above station even if there are no enemies

It's not called a 'license' you gigantic faggot

if you don't want someone else modifying your own modification your only choice is to be a total faggot and stop providing your modification to people

you have no legal recourse there is no license there is no contract your shit once provided for free to people cannot be unprovided for free so even trying to lock it up wont work

You will not be able to shut down someone modding your mod no matter how much you go and whine to a court about it, the only reason they got away with this bullshit at all is because they run the forum

no, this is anti-moddb posting

Now that I've played quite a bit of the base game, what mods to get? How's Nexerelin?

If any of you can pull up a working link to this mod I'll be happy to duplicate the included portraits for every mod faction just like I did the degenerate pack.
Fuck prima donna modders.

you have to go back

this isn't your hugbox forum mate, nobody here gives a shit about your dumb fucking rules about modding

Get moar ships/dakka and the combat quickening mod

Just found a Legion and Astral, each without d mods in medium threat systems, how lucky am I?

This is absolutely not how it work, but I don't have a dog in this fight since all my mods are under Creative Common licences. I doubt there is any convincing you anyway.

by not a threat, it meant slow and cumbersome so avoid it because you can, and instead focus on other things before you come back to finish off the bigger boy
honestly you tards and your COMPLETE lack of strategical and tactical understanding just disgusts me, I bet you choose your targets at random, don't you.

Can you give individual carriers individual fighter orders?
If you can, if I'm running multiple cariers do I have 1 carrier field anti shield fighters and 1 anti armour and micro manage them?

What the fuck does the Intel building do? I am just getting useless Intel chips

post seed?

It absolutely is how it works

You just go right ahead and try to stop someone modding your mod at any time and see how it works out for you

faggot

/vg/ thread has a mega, mod is the Oga Portrait Pack

>send the anti-shield wing
>enemy AI drops the shield for 1 millisecond taking no damage to armor and no flux
>send in the anti-armor wing
>enemy has the shield back up
It wasn't going to work anyway. Shield breakers are only good when the nemy is already under tons of pressure and can't afford to drop shields.

I got a mission to find 10 intel chips and the reward was 1.5 million dollars

AN-1451681188195585863
It's in the Gaap and Telephassa star system, and just noticed they're actually low and not medium threat

Is there a way to fix D-mods? How?

you just restore them when docked

go to any station or planet, go to the store, go to fleet, press restore in the refit menu

there's a button in the refit screen that says "RESTORE"

In the refit screen there will be a button called restore under weapon groups.

FUCKING LUL

new player here, got the nexelium mod and started a game with the ludic path faction

did i do well guys?

Please host

hey buddy, somethingawful is 2 domains down

But then both fighters go in, and you have a 50/50 chance of the bombers unloading a bit too soon.
How else do you do fighters? It's the only thing not obvious to me.

HOW DO I STOP THESE TURBONIGGER PIRATES FROM TAKING CONTROL OF MY RELAYS THE SECOND I TURN MY FUCKING BACK

Kill them all...then raid their base and destabilize it

slapping a high command on every planet in the system in order to get more patrols

1. Have colony in system
2. Have patrol fleets produced by that colony
3. The patrol fleets will automatically flip the relays back for you

>show up at a pirate base with a bounty
>scavenger fleet just cleaning up as i arrive
fuck you

>pick spacer
>has some obligation from past that makes me pay increasings sums of money every month
>its 15k now per month
I regret picking this start now. I doubt it ever is going away.

anyone have any good colony seeds? i've been fucked in the last 3-4 maps in that shits barely habitable unless i go miles out from the core

Nigger what did you expect from the hard mode start?

I expected just 2k start money and shitty shuttle. And no monthly income at all. Not some random thing that makes me pay more and more every month.

Is merc the best start? hammerheads and drovers see strong early game and you get another carrier and hammerhead for free if you do the tutorial, plus an officer

>what did you expect from the hard mode start?
A hard mode START, not having a permanent handicap that only gets worse.

The debt is there solely to please the forum fags who flipped a shit about the free heg neetbux the other starts get being 'too easy'

You can thank me now

Why not disable neetbux instead of adding a loan?

just go get a commission from a faction and stop crying

You activated Recettear mode now learn to Capitalism.

Should I turn on my transponder and pick a side, if the orbital station can handle the dominators then I could handle the rest easy.

Ask the dev, not me, ideally the start system would be a lot more flexible about letting you choose conditions instead of just being tied to the dialogue system

is there a mod or can I edit the files to make the radiant flyable?

i'm sure that commission can cover it when the "debt" gets into something like 100k per month

This is my shipfu, there are many like it, but this one is mine.
Seriously why is this ship so much fun to pilot?

Attached: shipfu.png (1441x901, 1.23M)

The mine spam already elevates it to at least good

Commission does go up to about 100k per month.

It got annihilated by a remnant ordo or two, but not before I fucked up their space station. Then I came back with a lot of frigates and six midline carriers with high-tech bombers/fighters exclusively. The moment any shield went down on those fuckers they ate multiple reapers from my swarm of bombers.

I had no idea then. I wanted to with completely independent trader with this start, so I might as well start another game. Is there any other starts without that "stipend" shit or other income?

>I use it anyways since the mod added white people to the portraits
>Implying that nasty wh*toides would still exist in the future

Is that pirate atlas mk2 even fucking worth keeping

When I fight pirates it's legitimately the only ship I have to watch out for in their fleets.

It's bretty good when it's not crippled by 6 D-mods at once. In case you haven't noticed, large ballistic mounts are quite rare in vanilla.

>implying the Domain didn't just banish all niggers and mutts to the Persean sector

Not just rare, accelerated ammo feeder large ballistics is something only the atlas mk2 can do

Squalls feel a hell of a lot stronger then this makes them out to be, I mean, sure, only five salvos, but half the time the sheer number of missiles overwhelms the enemy and results in you crippling or outright killing one of their biggest, deadliest ships in the first few seconds of combat, especially when you partner it up with some quick or phase frigates to get in close and finish the job while the shields are down.

it's an old chart and a lot of the weapons have been rebalanced

Okay, here's the portrait pack

mediafire.com/file/8b9p0sxbhyai7um/user_Pack.7z

It should work like a regular mod

>Implying the Domain of (BLACK) Man breeded out all the wh*toides genes off the existence

what's a good cargo ship for early game before moving to the colossus ?

Whatever shit you salvage off pirates? Colossus is like 65k, you can make that without leaving Corvus by smuggling drugs to pirates.

Mule (P)
>shielded cargo holds
>doesn't need militarized subsystems
>won't immediately die in a fight

What did 0.91a change? I've still got my 9.0a installed and wondering if it's worth the headache of cleaning the old files, letting it update, and having to mod it from scratch again.

its a whole new game, really

how do you win battles mane, i just cant do it. some one please help a brainlet.

To defeat the enemy fleets, shoot at it until it dies.

I'm sure it;s a meme at this point but I'd love some like, cosmic horror shit in the deep reaches of space. The weird pulsating background and the heart beats wet my willy as it is but imagine something like hellstar remina just reaching out and wiping out a planet near you

>taking your fucking specialized cargo and tanker ships to battle
The fuck

what colony buildings should I get any which avoid? I've seen anons say that commerce is shit but reading the tooltip I couldn't tell why

Gonna need more details than that buddy - what's your fleet, what's your flagship, who are you fighting etc.

look what i just scavanged from some h*gemony fags
i know the legion isnt the best capital class ship but i'll take what i can get

Attached: hegefags btfo.png (1282x827, 540K)

I'm surprise no one made a mod of something like that yet

Commerce is shit because it does nothing. The stability bonus is the primary reason to use it, any only if you need it bad.

>not kitting out your freighters as ghetto warships
Combat Freighter is in it's fucking name

There was two of them, but one hasn't been updated for ages and the other has been in limbo for just as much. So there is hope for a new one.

can you link these two? I just wanna to check it

spam missiles

>piloting slow ass ships

In the early game, a lot of the time the answer is pick your fights better. Take the perks that increase your speed and sensor abilities first so you have the ability to see what's around you and run away from it.

Here is the not updated one. This could have been great has a remnant like faction...
