I went into this game completely blind and I'm starting to run into some problems now that I've amassed some stuff. I feel like I'm constantly hemorrhaging supplies. Per day its only like 2.5-3 but chasing down bounties with emergency burns or clipping into a storm is so costly it hardly feels like I'm making progress and my hulls need to be filled to the gills with supplies just to go anywhere close to the outer reaches. IDK if I should be trimming back my fleet or what. Also, bounty difficulty seems to have exploded out of nowhere, everything is suddenly 150k+ credit rewards and its usually to kill what I'm guessing are rogue commanders that are packing multiple battleships and shit.

My fleet is a 2 wolves, a tempest, and 2 afflictors that I either use for easier fights and/or punching holes through things in bigger battles. I have a mora, shrike, hammerhead, sunder, and falcon I use in the tougher fights, usually with the hammerhead and maybe one of the other big boys on escort duty for the mora. Dram and mudskipper are in there from the tutorial still, think I'm just gunna sell them. Nothing nearly strong enough to safely take on the new bounties so I've been doing survey missions and pirate bounties that pay per frigate to stay afloat.

3/3 safety procedures to solve both of these
If you're not using a ship, store it in the siphon station by the gas giant in Yma

get a frieghter/tanker/salvage rig, invest exp points into salvaging/navigation/fleet logistics so you lose less supplies/fuel also try to do exploration and check out the bars at every planet to make quick ez money from cargo contracts

I really like the vulture it has everything I want in a cruiser anyone else try it out?

where the fuck can i find modspecs. stores typically have like 1 shitty modspec max

I like my galaxy cramped and chaotic in the centre.

I will try that, thanks.

Is it normal for a vengeance fleet to spawn every time I order a tactical bombardment?

I only just started playing today and I'm lost but having a lot of fun. How is a game with this much content only 400mb?

exploration missions will generate new ones

Do you mean only 'analyze research station' missions? Those seem to be incredibly rare.

The early ship of diable is a fucking glass. But the larger ones has a phase skimmer like the one that the wolf ship has. Basically the modder doesnt know how to balance so they just make every ship in the mod fragile.

Also I picked none.
Just like in M&B I bought businesses and saved enough money to start my own kingdom. In SS I took on bounties and explore contracts until I had my own colony, and played it safe until I was strong enough to use all the AI cores and had unreasonable defenses and fleet power projection.

is joining a faction worth it

do you want to be hated by all of that faction's enemies and retain this rep even after leaving the faction

If i recall there are two ship, if youre referring the one that looks like two capitals sewn together. Id say it was decent cause its a bit faster than the other capitals, but worse in term of firepower compared to onslaught and conquest. It got a minor flight deck so It pretty much complements the flaws.
I think the design is very cool, but I kinda ditched it in favor of the imperium dicknuke

by using only mecha and weapons from diable and using carriers from dassault because their F gives fighters/mecha a damage boost.

the shitty thing is that they should not be attacking me without risking war if I'm still in that current faction

You get lunch money mothly, they pay you even if you do absolutely nothing. The cons is that all the other faction except independents may refuse to trade with you

Not if you do What does higher hazard rating do other than negative effects? Are you being sarcastic or does it make raiding it harder or something?

Switch over to doing exploration/surveying, take analyze missions and explore star systems around where that takes you. Kill derelicts/pirates/scavangers you find along the way for fun on the side. Find a few research stations for loot and decent planets then set up a colony

and it gets more when you plug in the like 20 faction mods that add in new weapons ships and systems.

Not him, but I bought it to deal with pirates attacking my deliveries. Very tanky, slug fests is his game,can teleport in and out for better positioning and with a slightly more ordnance points, it will be perfect. That is, till I deal with dooms or phasers, which was just now. Lost my whole fleet to these guys and currently thinking ways to combat them.

Personally, I like the daze cruiser the most. Micro missiles (despite the 90% miss rate) and Cowboy Bebop design and all. But those died instantly to phasers as well.

Now THIS is a high quality mod

I'll beat the game legit vanilla first before I start putting in mods.

nah the first one you posted is better, especially for mining
The reason I ask is because once you build a patrol HQ or military base in a system, it'll protect the entire system. So having multiple colonies in the same system is a great idea

As much as I want to see that, I’m ashamed it’s a meme mod

>cheap deployment cost
>downside doesn't matter if you use shitty throwaway wings
>still has destroyer-tier levels of freighter space
It's not that bad desu, it's not amazing, but it's not useless

'ashamed' isnt the correct word to use in this situation ESL-kun

Can someone help me out with this question I asked, I really wanna know.

That guys mistyped or is meming you, you ALWAYS want lower hazard

ill check it tomorrow but i don't think so, whats the minimum the secondary planets should have? just a +1 and

ESL?
I’m having real sleep deprived brainlet hours right now

english second language

random name, seen it in my game aswell

Damn. It would be kind of cool if there was some silver lining.
And maybe a colony management perk that negates certain hazard ratings so you can actually have it benefit you in certain situations.

literally anything is fine for same system colonies
I'd say below 200% hazard and at least one worthwhile resource. Your colonies do trade with each other so you can outsource something like refining for instance
>building mining and heavy industry on planet 1
>build refinery on planet 2
>planet 1 sends the ores to planet 2, they refine it to metals and then send it back to be used in the heavy industry
This can work at quite a distance, not just same system colonies.

It was my third, yea.

Do you guys ever use ships with less than 10 or 8+2 burn speed? There is a hull mod that allows you to add 2 to the maximum burn speed but it's not worth it on anything you're going to use in active combat and is pretty much only usable on freighters and support ships. But anything with a 7 burn speed or lower I just can't make sense of, you'll never be able to catch anything and everything with 10 burn speed will be able to catch you immediately it also make travel take that much longer and if you keep it that way it'll really add up overtime.

A higher Hazard Level makes you stronger.

Attached: 74459244_p0.png (1365x1900, 2.68M)

just use tugs, they increase your fleets burn

Hazard rating is an upkeep multiplier. 100% hazard rating is 1x multiplier to upkeep, while 150% is a 1,5x multiplier. You can figure out the rest.

Nice. I have a set of two planets that work with each other so my faction is self reliant 100%. I try to have as many adjacent manufacturing processes on one planet though.

I'm running an onslaught with degraded engines so yeah

Just be prepared to fight off invasions once your market share of certain resources gets big enough, or the luddic path decides to pay you a visit for building industries. Can't go wrong with rushing out an orbital first thing

But then you're wasting ship slots on tugs when those could just be more 10 or 8+2 burn speed carriers/freighters/support ships/ect.

I have a 9 max regular burn and I outrun most fleets my size... 10 seems likes it’s unneeded, like you can still catch 90% of all fleets I guarantee.

Oh yea max level high tech station underway, heavy batteries, planetary shield, and patrol HQ on both planets. No military HQ cuz I need the slots but think they’re not needed with the rest of the OP shit right?

Have you guys modded your battle size? 500 seems too limiting, supplies be damned.

you can't beat the game. It's kind of like mountain blade where you fuck around for 100 hours until you get bored with the lack of endgame.

Just interdict bro, if your fleet has above 1000 sensor strength, your interdiction will always work and then you can catch those cockroaches by burning your fuel

yeah i doubled the supplies and increased the fleet size for everyone up to 50

Don’t cut me with your Mountain blade

The game has no win state?

the difference between a patrol HQ and high command is pretty huge
patrol HQ fields 2 small "fleets" regardless of colony size
meanwhile a high command...
starsector.fandom.com/wiki/High_Command
actually gets you fleets
I'd upgrade at least one of the patrol HQs so they can fight off invasions themselves and won't need to rely on the orbital except in last case scenarios

I wish someone could just make the Outlaw Star as a mod for the game.

No campaign isn't finished, beating the game is being able to kill the 3+ battleship remnant fleets. mods add in harder dindu and an actual super hard endgame faction but thats about it.

No the Apogee sucks

they already have mecha with working melee weapons so grappler arms are within the realm of possibility.

You can only build one of each building per planet
Two high commands in the same system would probably beat everything save for a big redacted invasion, maybe even that

Out of curiosity what are the ships armaments?

two arms
two forward missile pods that can fire a single salvo each
at least one ballistic weapon for the arm and a ballistic weapon under the nose

Its main feature are its twin grappler arms which can be used for punching/grabbing but in combat were usually used with either its axe or machinecannon. Outside of that it has multiple missile bays that it can fire large salvos from, but tends not to as missiles are quite expensive to replace. It also has a nosecone gun.

In terms of firepower there's not much there, it's a pretty small ship all things considered. The reason people want it is because it was built with the most advanced navigation system in the galaxy.

Ignore him, Diable are good.

The problem is that people cant into understanding missiles or fighters in this game so they fail miserably at using their ships.

Yea I meant like another planet just to have another slot while adding one more to my main two. My priority is all industry but after that the rest is max military. So I might need another world in order to do all industry plus 2 HQs.

their weapons are good on other ships, the ships are asthetically pleasing but are usually shit for the cost per month. For example the light carrier they have has two slots and costs like 11 supply a month, the active ability is negligable. You could just take a Dassault carrier that has the same two slots, only costs 9 supply a month and has an active ability that increases fighter or mecha damage for like 6 seconds. I love flying diable ships but they are shit shit balance wise compared to even the vanilla ships besides maybe the high end carrier

Been trying to do an early start running diable only and god damn I hate trying to gain favor with them when they start a -10.

>Been trying to do an early start running diable only and god damn I hate trying to gain favor with them when they start a -10.
Do exploration and turn in AI cores, its free standing.

One of the issues I have found with the mods is that their ships/weapon systems dont seem to be put up for sale properly. There seems to be some mechanic where stores calculate what they stock based off what your fleet and level is. When you have multiple capital ships and you're level 50 suddenly you start seeing lots of really good weapons and ships everywhere, but when you start out its a clusterfuck of low tier crap.

This is a killer for mods because if they don't have lots of low tier stuff, you're stuck trying to make their ships work through the early, mid and late game with rubbish until you get your level/fleet size up. I used cheats to have a look at all the diable weapons and was surprised at all this stuff I have never seen before, because it wont spawn in until you've already played for tens of hours, but its not that overpowered but does make their ships far more viable. Neut Corp is one of the worst offenders, you literally cannot get their ships until you have a massive fleet.

So yeah, Diable come off as really shit because you cant get any of their weapons on their ships. But actually once you have everything they are top tier. Maelstrom is a beast with the proper loadout.

How do you get a ship/weapon/blueprint package to start showing up in the places that they usually do?

>Lost my whole fleet to these guys and currently thinking ways to combat them.
Lots and lots of cheap fighters. Remnant bombers/fighters combo absolutely obliterate phase fleets because they sit on top of the phase until it decloaks, then it cant do anything but rephase and overload or get smacked in the face.

>places that they usually do
clarify. research stations? have salvaging 3/3. faction planets? just keep raiding.

Your taste is shit, Dassault is overpowered as fuck

No, I mean how do I get them to show up in-game the first place? I did a hackjob update to a mod that the author for vanished, but I can't quite figure out how to get the blueprints to show up as drops.

Not him but those white ships dont fit the aesthetic at all. Ugly as fuck.

I fucking hate the Draft frigates, and actually fuck the Vapor too, they both suck dicks. Mostly everything else is at least cool enough to keep around, even if something else might be better/cheaper. Been playing this fucking game for years so having some fresh new ships to play with is nice besides any vanilla additions.

Also yeah Wanzers are dope.

Attached: transform.gif (200x200, 1.47M)

They're not pixel art, that's why.

Yeah, been reading around and this seems to be the preferred method in sinking them. Gonna buy another dassault carrier and maybe 3 wolves as escorts.

Are there any weapons to hit ships while in phase?

Using OP weapons is the same amount of fun as typing “nuke” into the console commands.

Wolves suck, get Omens

Abandoned stations have their loot generated at sector creation, you will need to get the blueprints from other sources of drops, like raiding the appropriate colonies, or, with mods, from Prism Freeport or Vesperon Combine dossiers.
Or cheat them in with Console Commands.

>This is a killer for mods because if they don't have lots of low tier stuff, you're stuck trying to make their ships work through the early, mid and late game with rubbish until you get your level/fleet size up.
I see a lot of Diable weapons in Diable space but its always the low rank ibis and revolver thing and rarely the big dual laser. I like their point defense options early game but I tend to stick with shit like Phase Lance for much of the early game if I can get my hands on one, it's just too good for instakilling the small things but I do agree there needs to be more early game incentives for a lot of mods but I guess that's not very "fun" for people designing fancy capitals.

I think you're misunderstanding me.
I know where you can get blueprints, I need to know how you get the game to generate said blueprints in the first place. I figured out how to make a blueprint package that has all the weapons/ships from the mod, but it doesn't ever actually show up anywhere.

is this the most expensive single item?

No they're ugly as shit is what they are. The color scheme conflicts with the entire setting.

Isn't the shield generator worth 1.7 million?

Pretty sure paragon blueprints cost more

>Are there any weapons to hit ships while in phase?
No.

Your best bet is very cheap flux weapons which can hit them instantly, since their ships keep phasing in and out you want them to rotate and keep the pressure on so they cant breath.

It doesnt take much to take down a phase, but if you only use slow heavy weapons you wont hit them.

A fleet of ships with 360 degree beam cover and fighters is probably the best counter you can get. The Imperium ships are also quite good because they have nice low flux weapons that fire continuously.

Ok. Still, I will get the wolves as they have a proven track record when I just started out.

Can you test first if said BP package actually is a valid item?

Try Gulf-Class
console command it in if you want a bunch

>the low rank ibis and revolver thing
Man these two weapons are amazing together. They are my go-to for basically every ship.

If you want to know true brokenness, find the mod which lets small slot weapons target fighters/missiles regardless of whether its point defense or not and use nothing but revolvers. You spray out bullets at everything melting it instantly.

Wolves dab on pirates but they themselves get obliterated at the first sign of a real cruiser

Paragon costs 780k

I've already tested that before, it functions perfectly normally as far as I can tell. Gives me all the relevant blueprints, I can produce them at my colonies, sell them to whoever, etc. Only thing it doesn't do is actually spawn in normally.

>Are there any weapons to hit ships while in phase?
Yeah
Harbinger's Interdiction, have fun

seeing everyone talk about Diable has me curious what weapons/ships/fighters are good and which are dogshit?

most of their ships are shit.

Vapor is okay. I found one good loadout for it that actually works:

Recson V and Phase Lance in medium slots
2x single launch torpedoes of your choice in small slots
Heavy armor mod
Maybe something else, but I forget. You should have 8 or 9 in venting and capacitors.

After this if you put a decent pilot into the vapor it won't die unless it gets surrounded/overwhelmed. Without a pilot it'll sometimes push its luck a bit too far.

> mod which lets small slot weapons target fighters/missiles regardless of whether its point defense or not
Oh shiiiiit, is it toggleable with autofire like PD are?

It's a very style over substance deal with Diable, and in a way you can consider it balanced by way of you being at a slight disadvantage by specializing in them but their big ships are fun as hell and the bonus CR length is something I desperately need as I drag out fights way too long.

Thanks man. Bummer that you can't hit ships while in phase. Came across those damn phases a few times before. Melted them with my twin lasers the moment it went out of phase. But when they come in a huge fleet with 4 carriers in tow, my whole fleet sinks. I will spend some time buying and refitting ships using your advice.

I am biased and I like wolves.

I've been playing with diable for a long time so here's my autist sperglord experience with them:

Weapons: Recson V, Recson S, State Support Beam, Uhlan Siege Laser, Bachdel PD Laser, Banish Torpedoes are all good

Most of the rest of the weapons are either okayish or outright terrible.

Vapor can be good if you can fit it well enough - but it still dies if something sneezes on it wrong, even as skittish as it is
You can basically forget about every other frigate or destroyer, they all suck
The storm is a very good carrier
The gust is also decent
I never used haze or daze because they look fucking ugly
Maelstrom is probably the best ship in the diable lineup, the flicker core is extremely good

Diable's wanzers are where the mod starts getting OP, I personally found the zephyr to be the best. Most of the wanzers range from "heavy fighter" to "frigate pretending to be a strikefighter" in capability.

Generally if you want to do well with diable ships you need to load them up with wanzers and use the wanzer gantry bonuses. The ships are basically balanced around having OP wanzers to front all the damage and absorb hits, which is probably why half the diable ships and weapons suck so bad

Not him but if you output 100 units of force in one direction firing from a ship, a moving barrel will not mitigate that force in any shape or form. You have to pass that entire force to the ship, moving it the other way.

A sliding barrel like in that webm achieves literally nothing, a static barrel would have an identical amount of force moving the ship.

NASA and the USSR already did this stuff, cannons were not very practical because of the force you put back on the ship.

Industry is worthless past the early game, even in salvage only runs. Sensors make it easier to hide which isn't hard to begin with.

Okay. How about this? Without allocating anything I have 1 in safety, 1 in recovery, and 2 in repairs. 13 points to spend. I want to get rid of those D modifiers because my fleet is mostly salvaged junk.

>comparing a missile, to the issue of having a moving cannon barrel on a space ship
Apples and oranges, or in your case dumb and dumber.

The other big problem here would be heat dissipation, without air those cannons would get hot and stay hot, they don't lose heat via convection like they would in an atmosphere. They'd still radiate heat but that's not going to keep them cool enough to fire like that.

This is another reason why everyone in sci-fi always uses lasers in space. It's not just about the recoil.

Stop it, you're going to spend 3 hours trying to explain high school physics to a bunch of retards who cant grasp anything.

The sliding barrel causes the force to be distributed to the ship over a period of time instead of instantly, reducing the strain on the ship.

>talking about the same force is apples and oranges
Retarded and proud. Got it.

It would actually jerks the ship less, causing less vibration fatigue. It’s why even rocket motors have dampers. But it doesn’t matter much when incoming fire rapes your lifespan faster than fatigue ever will.

It actually doesn't in space and I cbf doing the math to prove it but

Applying it to the hull would reduce jerkiness, you want the force to leave the gun and move to a bigger body as soon as possible. Keeping it around the barrel decreases accuracy, it doesn't improve it.

I think you're right

>lasers
Oh god.

There’s a reason you guys play SS, you’re autistic enough to like the logistics but definitely not book smart in anything aerospace. None of you could play Children of Dead Earth, I’m willing to bet money.

There’s literally someone in here saying the action-reaction force of weapon’s recoil wouldn’t exist in space.

It definitely does cause the force to be distributed over time, it just doesn't mean anything because these retards are arguing about something else lol

Yeah, the problem is the moron who actually believes action-reaction doesn't exist in space. I thought I'd never see the day.

You’re right about accuracy but the force getting instantly transferred to the hull like be worse than if a damper was there. The military wouldn’t use dampers like recoil springs I think mainly because accuracy.

Glaux, Raptor and IBIS are good, but, much like the Uhlan, Burchel they benefit a lot from expanded magazines. Any ship with Uhlan or relying on Glaux will want the expanded magazines.
The SRAB is tricky, it might not look like much but the damage is good and is boosted by anything that boosts missiles despite being an energy weapon.
Grave and Glowtusk are basically guns for ships that get up close, like anything with Safety Overrides

Haze is great, it also has the heavy flicker core
Daze is basically a tank, and Flux Redirection is basically Accelerated Ammo Feeder for all weapons

Wanzers have an issue in that most of them are shieldless, and get instantly fucked by anything EMP.

I haven’t gotten one yet but I assume you can plug them into remnant ships?

What happens if you make a colony with industry needing a resource the planet doesn't have? Do they just have to import everything? I want to start fuel production and a farm but the only other planets around my Terran capital colony are Barren and only have ore resources mentioned in the survey data.

Not yet. Ai cores in ships is supposed to be an upcoming feature.
Maybe theres a mod out but you cant right now.

Yeah any rescources needed are imported. So much so you can cripple others colonies by raiding the trade convoies headed there.

Seething liar, incapable of telling the truth. And I been posting in these threads all evening so yea.

If you are into surveying and you literally got them while exploring only a small fraction of the map then you can sell them IF you really really need money. Surveying is broken and nets too much money and unique powerful artefacts with almost zero risk. An evening of surveying will set you with so much forges, ais and s.hit you'll be able to outfit 1, 2, maybe even 3 colonies with them, or become the ultimate goldberg of the sector if you sell them for the right price. Once I had a few runs start off with surveying I try to not do that anymore, because you only need a small shitty fleet for it and it catapults you into a midgame and sets you up for a smooth colony growth which catapults you into endgame, then you just get some blueprints in case you still havent and you're basically the new boss of the galaxy and can roll over anyone you want.

Imagine making yourself more unlikeable than the retards you're crusading against by spamming your hometown.

Also if you recover then scuttle you can get some material back, but do you also get that material if you just choose "Continue" or is that excess just lost?

really? their missiles are absolute top tier, they have one of the cheapest medium PD weapons I have ever seen in the game, and their ballistic weapons are pretty nice overall. maybe it's because I end up getting my hands on their weapons when I'm on the endgame and so I can make better use for them, but they have some really OP combinations

They did once, and they lost an Astral in the process.

kite them out of corona or you're gonna have a bad time

Lore reason why no one is going out is because technically the entire sector used to be colonized but they fell back to the core after the collapse and wars. The period we'ee going through in game is a renaissance iirc.

Love how everyone shits on tri-fags

How do you think that Astral ended up there?

If I sell blueprints to black market, will pirates start using those ships/weapons later? Or do I need to sell them to pirate open and military markets for this to happen?

Playing as pirates and I want arm them with everything

How important is evasive action for the captain of an Onslaught? I feel like +50% armor for damage reduction calculation might be insanely OP if it means what I think it means - on a ship that has like 1850 armor already

Any black market does fine.

It's OP for smaller armored ships like Dominators.
Onslut is kind of strange in that it's got lots of armor on paper, but they're spread out over a wider pixel area. It's entirely possible to wreck an Onslut while leaving a surprisingly large portion of its armor intact due to how armor damage is calculated in this game.

You have to take at least level 1 for any battleship captain because otherwise they can't turn for shit.
You can try to get lucky and have lvl 1 evasion and lvl2 helmsmanship along with 6 other skills, but due to how leveling works it can go wrong so better not try it unless savescummuing.

What are your favourite ships from various faction mods?
For me, it's the Battlestar carrier from Imperium with 6 fighter bays.

This feels like something is bugged or they really want their space heroin.

God damnit midtech step your game up. You're getting killed by hightech. At this point even lowpoint is beating you.

>how to describe all the vanilla factions with this one weird american bear meme

Eagle is best cruiser in the game by combination of deployment price and what it can do. Heron is very good too, and so are midline destroyers. Its main problem is that only midline capital is very bad joke.

How do I keep the game from crashing if I add more than 10 factions?
I like the clusterfuck that creates.
Should I allocate more RAM?
Is there no way?

They also make great sounds.

I'm running 45 mods with no problem and I only have 8 GB of RAM. Did you change your settings file to allocate more RAM?

Victory is too big for its armor stat and is actually very easy to kill. The real powernigga of that mod is S-variant of pic related with two long-range shotguns.

Should I make it 4 or 8?
I've got 16, thought it'd be overkill for an isometric 2D game.

Not that guy but how do you do stuff like make SS use more RAM and run off your video card rather than integrated graphics?

Based

I'd just assume it was floating around there since the collapse/ ai war, hence the Remnants guarding it

That would actually be really fun, could work similarly to the chaos invasion from TWW

What do you do after you reach ~1M in income? I've been colonizing outer systems and giving them to different factions, but they all stay size 3 even if I fill it with great infrastructure.

You restart and laugh at the fags who say the game is finished

There are OP crusaders that do that.

I feel like exploration missions are pretty OP early on. Not only do you get paid to explore systems you'd explore sooner or later anyway, you also get to pocket all the sweet, sweet Domain era loot. If yoou can afford a freighter or two and take the salvaging skills, you can make loadsamoney fast

Slaughter everyone in the galaxy.

I think I will conquer Sindria, install an alpha core there and try to take it out. Or should I instead conquer the lobster world and let the Dictate sort it out with teh Remnant?

Can somebody explain why missiles so often just hit enemy shields, but don't explode and just get deflected by it? This has happened to me so many times with reaper missiles from point blank range now.

Can I add Vayra's Ship Pack to an existing save?

We're pretty sure the crew has explosive collars or marines with orders to shoot on sight.

>when the only ships around your island of civilization are Pathers

I have launched reapers many times from point blank range when I'm almost hugging enemy ships to break their hull or overload their shields. It can't be about arming distance with them, because usually it has been working for me.

Sunder or Shrike as destroyer escorts for my fleet?

So far no problems, seeing their stuff in campaign, seems to be save compatible.

Weird I cant get neutrino to launch at all. Anyone else have that issue?

What about Medusas, i prefer midline or high-tech ships to low-tech.

if you play nex you can unlock non player colony growth

Medusa is too expensive for how little it actually provides. It's like the Shrike, excels at bullying smaller prey, but struggles to punch above it's weight. Enforcer is a great escort because it can hold its own even against cruisers thanks to excellent weaponry and unmatched armor, a good officer with the proper skills and heavy armor mod can give it an absurd amount of damage reduction from armor. The only problem it has is speed.

Anyway, for a pure escort role you want to get Omens, they're just too damn good for the job.

Medusa is primarily for making smaller ships fuck off. Its basically a larger wolf.

what version of starsector are you running?

what ship can i use to rp this kino scene youtube.com/watch?v=xQBGmBOhQEE

The latest I think.

Someone post the fighter image.
I found some remnant fighters, need to know what they're good for.

This. Probably the best escort ships in the game.

Without a doubt, I'd say they are pretty overpowered but I don't want to say it because I love them so much.

Ludic also has bar hints.

no idea. try looking at the starsector.log file (you might want to regenerate it, the thing is probably 50MB big at this point), locate the part in the last few lines where things went wrong and paste the error message here.

Dagger, Trident
>fast
Oh.

Not sure what you mean about "fast" but best bombers in the game is 2:4 combination of longbow and trident, because they instagib most cruisers if torps land in correct order. If you want to use them on something that is not astral, I think better to just have single longbow per carrier and some fighters with anti-armor potential, because AI uses bombers too sporadically and unreliably.

just a randomly generated system, those big piles of derelict ships are not so rare

It would be cruel and low hanging fruit to say so are you but I was tempted to really badly.
