Ahhh that makes more sense. I was trying to use eliminate orders to make my fleet engage on the first enemy that poked its head out. This usually ended up with them engaging from a really bad angle or just getting lost on the edge of the map.

For colonies, does stacking industries work? Like if I have an ultrarich ore/rare ore volcanic planet, can I just build 3 mines and mass produce ore?

I think you can only have 1 type of industry per planet.

Is there any point using beta cores? seems seems like a massive waste of a core slot

Untrue, you get more industries as population increases.

At what point should I start a colony? I've somehow stumbled into about 1.5 million and found a nice planet but my fleet's "powerhouses" are two Hammerheads and a Sunder. If this is too soon will selling the planet data cause the AI empire to colonise it before I'm ready to settle?

Yes, but only 1 of each.

So I can only have 1 mine digging up ore, even if I had 3 industry slots?

Yes, it reduce demand of whatever you slap it on by 1 while also reducing upkeep by 25%

It's only when you don't have enough alpha cores on hands.

Gamma cores are for easy buck and rep at whoever you turn them in.

God I fucking hate Lumen class ships, fuck you remnants for dragging out every battle to 20 min fuck fuck fuck

I put gamma cores on literally everything that doesn't get an alpha/beta core. If nothing else it reduces demand by 1 and over the course of a dozen different buildings, that's a lot.

Yes, ideally you have 1 industry mining the one, 1 refining it and 1 making it Heavy Industry.

how the fuck does the system of this ship works?

Attached: file.png (1920x1080, 2.62M)

That's unfortunate. I wanted to just go full mustafar and plop 3 mines on this double ultrarich volcanic world.

Trust me, you'll have more than enough beta core and way too many gamma at some point.

One mining industry is not "one mine" it's mining everything the planet has to offer.

What are the best cruisers?

The game's fun really comes from just screwing around fighting whoever you want. Running whatever ships you want like carrier spam, low tech, gimmicky builds, just experiment.

I use the dassault carriers and the battlestar from the impreium myself. But then I slap a converted hangar on literally every combat ship in the fleet and shove a pair of wanzers in them.

You mean aside from diable itself? If you have the faction installed you can find the Wanzer Servicing Gantry as a hullmod drop, I'd imagine Astral would get pretty ludicrous with 6 wanzer wings

Try to get a Hammerhead as soon as possible. Also Wolf class ships. Both can be acquired in the campaign tutorial. You shouldn't really struggle after that, the Hammerhead absolutely destroys pirate ships, and the Wolf is nigh unkillable due to its mobility.

Should I build a patrol HQ if I already have one on a different planet in the same system? Do I get double the fleets?

This is the last pirate planet, and they really hate me

Patrol HQs spawn two fast picket fleets. Each one on a planet does this, same goes for the bigger ones. An easy way to defend your shit is to have a bunch of overlapping military bases to turn your system into north korea.

every patrol HQ produces 2 or 3 light fleets
if you upgrade that shit you get way bigger fleets depending on the size of your colony, but it costs an industry slot

Holy shit, you weren't kidding. What a beast.

I once saw an order for lobsters but it didn't offer me a "check markets" option, where do you get them?

Volturn is the only planet that produces the lobster, and the further out you go from there the higher the price. Making runs (with a little bit of drugs or organs on the way) will net you pretty good returns.

Volturnian Lobsters can be bought in Volturn in Askonia

Level tech for the sensor profile mod reduction and improved "go dark"
Don't get fat ships. A couple of drams with hullmods to reduce sensor profile beat a mid-sized tanker, and a fat tanker is right out.
Wide not tall: Lots of smaller ships. 10 frigates with miniscule sensor profiles/no sensor profile are basically free sensor range estate compared to one big fucking battlecruiser.
Have maybe one big flagship, insulated engine assembly a must on it
Forget what your transponder is for, you no longer really need it.

That's about it, you can now essentially live in high-danger systems and cruise -past- two orbiting pather pickets onto a hostile station in go dark.
Downsides are deployment size issues and high ship mortality rate in a proper fight, but if you're having proper fights you're playing it wrong. You're the flying dutchman fleet.

Attached: java_YPswIMkxVV.jpg (1713x1733, 686K)

The classic naval connotation for frigates is escort vessels for freighters, destroyers are designed to "destroy" those freighters.

Blackrock ships are fairly gimmicky, and I don't mean "shit" more that most of their ships have specific special abilities rather than more generic ones. It would be good to look at their codex pages to understand their special skill and think how it could assist your general fleet composition.
No idea if this is a good idea but it worked pretty well for me: a general fleet composition ratio of 1 Battleship to 2 cruisers to 4 destroyers to 6 frigates/utility as needed, built in reverse over time as closely as I can.
So, start with a few frigates and utility ships (tankers for distance, freighters for cargo, troop transports for crew) and then pick up a couple of destroyers, then a few more frigates/destroyers, then eventually one cruiser, then two, then more frigates/destroyers, and begin colony building when I've picked up my first battleship class (as at this point you'll be getting a bit fat and slow to be living off of exploration contracts)

are there any problem with colonising neutron star systems if the planets arent bad?

If Lobsters sell more the farther they are from their planet of origin, is it a legitimate strategy to build a colony as far away as possible and just ferry lobsters back and forth?

Or, for a less insane method, sell them to a pirate/pather base that is farther away than any core world, but still decently close.

Patrols and merchants get fucking destroyed, but so do expeditions and pirates.
It might be funny to watch.

So, nobody has any ideas for a custom system?

No. There are times were the game will warn you that there are enemies camping a fringe point, so you can avoid confrontation. There are other times were it doesn't say shit, you drop into a system, and get gangraped by three capital fleets sitting their waiting for you.

Is Mayasuran Navy a balanced faction mod? Their ships look decent but I don't want to fuck things up by adding a shittily balanced faction.

Play the tutorials. They help you out a lot. The rest is just learning your ships, what they can do, what certain weapons do, and so on.

nevermind I'm retarded and the faction part of it hasn't even been added.

Mostly because they have a stranglehold on the fuel and lobster economy.
>fav ship
Astral. stacking 6 of the same kind of fighter is just very fun for me. Especially with diable wanzers. The fact that recall device acts as an instant repair & reload means any fighter with a strong hull is practically invincible if you pay attention.
>AI
Give them carriers with maxed out fighter skills. The only positioning that matters in a carrier is "not in front of all the enemy guns". Plus its easy to get them to focus fire as opposed to being in anything else since fighters go fast.
>Flagships
Anything really. I generally flagship as whatever i want to make sure doesnt die in a fight.

All factions are more or less balanced. Vanilla ships are the strongest still. Omen, Tempest, Paragon, there isn't a mod ship that can beat them in their respective roles.

I've been enjoying this game so much I have barely used Yea Forums in like a week.
This will be the first game I bought in years

I would like to know how to get in better with tri-tach without giving them AI cores
I trade with them on open market and get no bonus 1 reputation also they don't give quests

there's some sort of gladiator battle mod I haven't tried it yet though

>also they don't give quests
They do, install a comm sniffer in one of there systems and just wait for them.

Also AI cores are worthless so giving them to a faction is a good way to get the 10 points you need to get a commission.

yet you personally installed version checker knowing what the mod does.

...really?

Do quests and trade with them. That's about it really.

Attached: 1563854622050.jpg (500x440, 14K)

if you get high value prisoners, you can repatriate them for 5 reputation points each.

You are literally flat earth tier stupid

It should go without saying that your firewall should be set to block all connections by default, then selectively allow that which is necessary.

Just chill out near their systems and take exploration/bounty quests. A lot of people say this so I wonder if mods screw it up, but in vanilla it is stupendously easy to build rep this way with any faction: Hang out nearby and do their surveys.

Remove the version checker you imbecile.

I've captured a station, sold off everything I can but its size 5 so I can't abandon it. How do I get rid of it?

hang out in their system and do their randomly handed out survey quests, if they post up a bounty for killing pirates in a system you can potentially get quite a bit of rep with them assuming you can handle the pirate fleets

I almost said that too, that's just good practice, regardless of whatever the fuck that other guy is dribbling about.

Get a commission and give it to that faction

Why not remove Nexerelins VC .csv & .json file?

I like your thinking user. Would go great with my ramming salvage rig and assault mudskipper.

it would be good to have that and being able to choose during restoration because maybe I don't want to pay 1.2mil right now but could throw 400k at it to fix 1 or 2 things

There's what I -think- is a mod that has a hullmod that gives you more points with a tradeoff of some sort.

>somebody told me to invert the shift control

holy shit why isn't this default?

I'm thinking about replacing those with assault chain guns since the hammerheads chew through everything. Might use the 3 HAC/Phase lance build when I can find some.

looks like a cheap bic razor

why would that make any difference

I downloaded that sol system from earlier in the thread, but is there any way I can modify it to give it a random spawn location? Would be nice knowing it's out there waiting to be discovered without instantly knowing it's location.

That doesn't mean it's a good idea.

In-faction imports get taxed when exported, and taxed again when imported. You tax in-faction imports twice, but out-of-faction imports only once.

Gamma cores don't care if you are importing from in-faction or out-faction, they reduce demand regardless. This means that if you put a gamma core on an industry importing from one of your own colonies, you actually LOSE MONEY.

Do not put gamma cores on everything. Only ever put a gamma core on an industry that is importing from outside your own faction.

So how the fuck does Tech Mining work? Do I also need to have a regular mining facility in the same colony? Because I've had this motherfucker installed for months and it hasn't produced jack shit.

Not really eldritch or ayy, but it is... unnerving when you first meet them at the very least.
But their motivations are easy to understand, and they're not that spooky once you figure it out. Does that make them easier to fight against? Not really, but you wont fear them, just understand them

Any idea how the ai inspection mechanic works? What's the time frame to be able to remove your cores without penalty? Are they random or is there a threshold where they wont bother (say a single gamma core)?

If you attempt removing an alpha core it will revolt and turn your own colony against you

The Sindrians are the only significant source of fuel in Star Sector, because their homeworld has a Synchrotron. They essentially have a monopoly.

If you start producing fuel in significant amounts, and especially if you go freeport, they will get butthurt as you destroy their economy.

Any combat freighter with 10+ burn speed to carry supplies and salvaged goodies
Dram for fuel

optional: Shepherd for Nexerelin mining+baby's first strike craft+better salvaging

That's it. You won't really be able to fight anything, but you'll have your non-combat basics covered for salvaging ships and doing scanning missions. You'll be fast enough to get away from most enemies and your sensor profile will let you sneak around if you have to go into a system with hostiles present. Pick out a few combat vessels with 10 or higher burn speed if you want to fight the weakest Pather and Pirate raiding parties (or at least help NPC fleets with them, so you get a chance at post-battle salvage in addition to regular derelict salvages).

Yeah I know but it take a while before that's the case, at lease a few days, I know I tried. But I don't know exactly how long that is, could be a few days or several months.

This is precisely why it's so strong. It gets even stronger if it has a player helping it: he can protect it while its angry side is pointed away.

They're all shit. A few properly equipped paragons can destroy all of the star fortresses with ease.

I have yet to see another portrait mod that I had any real appreciation for, partially because I've only seen animu-shite and the Wojack pack floating around here.

Oga's conveniently added matching portraits for every faction I'm using except Imperium. Modder drama has no purpose other than entertainment; I don't give a rat's ass where the pictures came from if they're in a convenient, consistent package. If he gave credit to the original creators, no harm done. If he didn't, he's a prick, but I'm still using the portraits until I find a better pack— if switching doesn't affect my ongoing save.

the gay ass border is shit

How does it bug out? I'm trying it out and after that one bar mission fix it doesn't crash yet.

I know how congested and inflated the wojack content on Yea Forums is, but I can't help but love dumb images of wojack

Subjective. I don't have a preference for or against it; please show me a better pack, preferably one that includes the factions shown in I enjoy Wojack and Pepe, but I prefer immersion over comedy in games that aren't supposed to be comedic, with small exceptions. Pic related.

All it does is salvage the ruins until the industry itself says it cant really find anything anymore. Sometimes you find good shit but after you exhaust that, usually after like 3 or 4 months of mining, it is safe to replace the industry

Dunno if it's the biggest, but the Cathedral from the Ship and Weapon Pack is described as a moving starbase.
There's also the Infernus from Underworld if you like giant angry bricks.

Appro-Light translator user here. I posted in the previous Yea Forums thread but that one got nuked for some reason. I'm still trying to work out exactly which file is generating those crashes but I did fix a large number of mis-matched %s things in the csv files.

There's more to the ships than just their designs, user.

I wish this game had "legendary"/rare ships that can't be purchased or built, only found. None of the ships feel really special in Star Sector.

Both are Cathedrals, the one on the left is the old model.

Oh, well the new design does look more "Luddic Church", old design would be perfect for Tri-Tach tho

Next update we will be able to make permanent hull mods.

How the fuck do you fight a remnant station

Nope

But Taiwan is the true China.

Where do you even find outcasts? I've got the sylphon mod but aside from the occasional sneaky BP I've no sign of em. Also, is there any cruiser with a sensor profile below the norm? (Besides phase ships.) I'm trying to up the game in my space wolfpack.

it'll be a bit tight with one capital (two is best) but you just leave them for last, like all capitals they aren't very good at being swarmed, they aren't very good at burning through all your flux so a tank with hardened shields is a good option

just send frigates after it, it becomes too chicken shit and backs off constantly in cloak until it runs out of CR and drifts harmlessly in space and waits for death

I am getting too attached to some of my ships. Even if it costs a fortune to restore, I will.

>Optionally: A fix to prevent Pirate, Luddic Path, and Kadur raider bases from spawning once their parent faction is entirely destroyed
This feature from Vayra's Sector looks nice, but this guy has a bad rep for fucking with your game and adding infantile tooltips and in-game dialogue, how bad is this and Vayra's Ship Pack on that compared to the Kadur?

I'd love some bioships or some ayyleums. Cyborgs and AI are neat, but something less human would be nice.

I never felt like I noticed anything. You can just turn off most of the shit in the config file anyway. I was just in it for the faction.

Does anyone know what respawns?
Does taking a scan quest spawn derelicts/probes/dead stations/etc. for you to scan, or do these jobs just pick random ones that still exist?

I like sifting through goodies at the edge of the sector, but I'd rather not wipe Domain-era graveyards off the map, even if they're stuffed with solid gold.

Borken are aliens, but no bioships. I was picking around and saw those guys and also some crystal aliens I (in my biased love of crystal aesthetics) thought were cool. Both dead as dirt though, RIP.

Once you have a colonial system established, just build fleets and go fuck with people and try different builds, even if you lose fucking everything your colonies will give you buttfucking tons of credits and ships to keep throwing away.

Pirates won't target systems with pirate-owned planets or bases. If you're running with Nex you can exploit this by colonizing a shithole of no worth and transferring it to the 'rats.
This does not hold true for Pathers as they apparently target individual planets.

WHY ISN'T THERE A METAL GEAR SOLID PORTRAIT PACK YET? RREEEEEE

Nachiteka also has a synchrotron. It's also much easier to disrupt than Syndria, if you want your own fuel to sell for more. You will be at war with hegeniggers anyway if you have a colony.

Aww. Crystal would be interesting, just to see if there would be good lore behind their motivations, habits, etc.

I've seen some complaints that Borken causes long load times and crashes, so I haven't bothered with it.

Give me Eldar in ships made of proper wraithbone, some Tyranids, and maybe some scattered Necrons (perhaps a Tomb World to awaken, accidentally or otherwise). I'm a fan of necromancy and skeletons, so I guess wraithbone would be the closest thing I could get to reanimating a star dragon or some other space leviathan. Giant animals would be another fun addition (like the ones in Stellaris); imagine hunting and/or capturing them as an occupation, selling their parts or whole for use as warbeasts, for science, or to put in fancy zoos owned by Sindrian admiralty or Tri-Tachyon bourgeoisie.

The forum is autistic about permissions. Honest to god, it feels like it's more the guy with the main portrait pack simply trying to keep out competition and being friends with most other people so he can get their support to me.

Not everyone lets AI ream their ass, profligate.

ships, derilicts and other small things like pirate and pather stations can keep respawning
new planets do not obviously

Fug. Are lances sold on any markets, or do I have to grind remnants? I'm surrounded by 3 beacon systems.

It's time to kill another SMASH thread!

Forgot to say that those borrowed bits of trademarked art are being used in *mods*, meaning no one should give a single shit about it. No one's selling the portrait packs.

Derelict research and mining stations included? I'm talking about prespawned setpieces, like a salvage field and multiple ships floating around a gate in a system far away from any active conflict. Domain-era probes.

I'm guessing there's no way to get more Domain-era communication satellites.

Do Tachyon Lance blueprints exist?

set pieces that arent planets can all respawn for a part of missions
ive cleared the ships around a gate and then gotten a mission to get a ship by that same gate later

Yes, but I don't have them this game. Can't really go exploring too far away from home with 5 faction out to burn it down.

>Don't like being slow
>Want to actually have enough fire power to matter against anything bigger than a Destroyer

Thanks, user. I've got a bad habit of leaving behind non-respawning goodies in sandboxes and RPGs; it makes the world seem emptier and dull to me. Sentimentality.
Are there ever missions for doing anything involving stations, or is it just random caches and regular derelict ships that respawn for scans?

I want to say you might be better off just abandoning the colony to start over and rebuild faction relations, but you'll end up wanting to use open ports (and AI) again eventually.
Are free port haters and Hegemonkey penis inspections announced before they visit? You could take a deathball fleet out to meet them on your way to check Tachyon ports for lances or grind Remnants. You could just store your best bits and take only the fastest ships possible for a quick excursion.

Falcon is burn 9.
Pirate Faclon is burn 11.
Get navigaion skill, get tugs, install augmented drive field on your heavy hitter, etc. I have capital ships in my fleet and still cruise at 20.

>abandoning the colony to start ove
The system brings 600k/month, I would rather not. I can leave it alone, just not for too long. I guess with the way autoresolve works, being away might be MORE beneficial than protecting in person, because the defense fleets can't just miss the enemy?

I meant in-battle.

Eagle has propulsion jets, so it's very fast for a cruiser. There is a hull mod that gives speed in exchange for shorter weapon range. Medusa is a destroyer with good weapon slots and wolf-like blinking. Tempests are REALLY fucking quick and if you have a lot of them they can chew through anything, cruisers and capitals included. Carriers can be slow themselves but it doesn't matter because fighters are fast.

Are lobsters really good to smuggle in vanilla? I jumped back into this game balls deep in mods and I see you guys hyping up lobster smuggling but meanwhile my Volturn never has more than like 400 lobsters and they only give 120-170 profit at most. I say they're only worth it if you're passing by Askonia and are soon to go outside the core.

Wait a minute. Can you actually edit planets with console commands?

How the fuck do i store a ship in a planet that's not mine, there is always the sell button where the store button is, when i try in my owned planets.

>How the fuck do i store a ship in a planet that's not mine
You can't. Use one of the abandoned space stations for storage (like the one in Corvus).

There's always a guy on Volturn or Sindria shilling a freezer full of lobsters at you for a discount.

Just click storage

Only the conditions on them. But you could make a hazard 50 world with +3 ore and rare ore, and +2 food, organics, and volatiles.

>Only the conditions on them
That's what I meant. What commands? Or do I need to get like a extra command modules? I haven't noticed anything about planet modification when using Help

Hit storage and then hit F to open up fleet screen I think.

Or was it go to refit screen and hit storage?

list conditions
then either addcondition [condition] or removecondition [condition]

You also need to be in the planet's menu while doing this.
