I've been roaming around as a bounty hunter fighting small gangs with just frigates and destroyers but I just found a Conquest and now I feel like a god of war. Everything's exploding, this ship is awesome and I've probably got a shit loadout too. What's the best way to set it up?

Whose dick do I have to suck to get tachyon lances? I only found one in the entire playthrough. Is it a rare drop from radiants or something?

>wasting slots on burst PD

Just use all tactical lasers + graviton beams + HILs. This is the strongest Paragon fit.

no bs, point for point the eos is one of the most efficient mining/surveying ships you can kit

The Eos is alright for mining, but when you get into real ship production, stacking your fleet with 30 capitals speccd for mining can rip most things to exhaustion within 1-2 days.

what program do you use to make the webms? I want to make some of my own

"Webm for Retards" (aka "WebmConverter" after github banned their name)

Are there better retarded officer-proof eagle fits than this one? It's generally good at staying alive against outnumbering enemies and applying pressure which is anything I want from them, but lacks good shield breaking once out of sabots.

What's wrong with the typical hypervelocity + mass pulse laser setup?

Assume I'm a brainlet, how accessible is this game? How hard is the learning curve before every thing starts to click?

Everything is fairly compartmentalized into things you want to do.

"ha ha pew pew ship shooty ha ha ha ha"

And then you realize you could be making more money, and start taking bounties, moving cargo, fuck it might as well just start up a colony.

Read the fucking tooltips and the index and you'll be fine. Nobody in this thread reads the tooltips so they make the game sound harder than it really is.

The tutorial is also quite good and you can pick up everything it doesn't teach you just by playing more.

its an old video, but still is a great little introduction, explains the basic gameplay loop

1) Start game
2) Accept commission from the first Hegemony colony you see
3) Leave game on for one night
4) Start having fun with the game now that money isn't an issue

Why wouldn't you just save yourself time by just giving yourself the money you want?

Small or medium world? Does running a small world lessen the amount of loot you can find, or is it redistributed?

>cheating
how about no

So i'm using Nexerelin and i keep seeing those relation events between AI factions and i was wondering if i can do something like that with my own faction to improve or decrease relations with the AI.

How is it any different

It's the least tedious legit way to make money in the game

Neither option presents any risk to the player so you might as well just cheat the credits in you pedantic faggot.

So abusing the commission system and letting the game idle as you get given free money isn't cheating.

But giving yourself the same amount of money without the wait is?

You're a retard, user.

Don't listen to that fag. If you time your emergency burns correctly storms can actually shorten your travel time.

Any part of a nebula that doesn't have lightning is safe to fly through. As long as you don't just autofly to every star you can make 99% of trips without taking any damage.

how do know how much you can buy off the black market. I sometimes buy a little bit of stuff on the black market and immediately get apprehended and they scan me, even though I spend a lot on the normal market as well

turn off your identifier.

Whats the best way to hunt down Remnants? i can never find them when i want and i need more AI cores

You lose way more in supplies than you'd ever save on fuel, and supplies are a lot more expensive per unit. Flying into storms is considered a terrible idea in-universe for a reason.

Red warning beacon systems

Yellow ones contain damaged nexuses which are a lot easier to take down and also weaker fleets

Find a red or yellow system but don't destroy the station. As long as the space station is there new fleets will spawn over time.

>forced to go back too early from exploration because of all the loot

Is it possible to make Mule and Gemini based fleed that can defeat weaker [redacted]? What`s best main gun for that? Probably Hyperverlocity driver should put a lot of pressure on enemy while being relatively safe, or Arbalest as poverty option. Or maybe Graviton beam spam.

Odyssey doesn't have the frontal firepower needed to make it work, nor the insane flux dissipation that SO gives, that's why. Odyssey is good for flanking and hunting down smaller ships, but it cannot keep up with other capitals in an upfront fight

Why is the AI so bad with phase. They use it as soon a a projectile is fired but miles away from them. By the time its anywhere close they don't have any flux left to dodge the attack

POWER>>>>upkeep

so, do i just safety override literally everything?

I'd disagree until recently because I put aggressive/reckless AI in the phase ships. They will absolutely abuse phase mechanics for that backyard rumpus up the pumpus routine. I tried a steady and saw the exact behaviour you described and it was fucking disgusting.

But nobody will beat you in a phase ship, the AI simply doesn't understand the power of your fully operational reaper launcher platform.

Yes.
Safety is for wimps.

Current naval doctrine suggests yes. I'm trying that other user's idea of putting insulated engines and efficiency hullmods on everything and having a flying dutchman fleet nobody can see.

It's proving to be pretty hilarious so far, I just need a little more firepower in the shape of a few big phase ships.

what do you do once you made some money. How to get strong.

I'm at the point in vanilla where I'm an unstoppable god and there's really nothing else to do, so I figured I'm going to do a modded playthrough.

Anything else I should add faction / weapons / QoL wise? I'm trying to avoid COMPLETELY BROKEN BULLSHIT factions but idk what to look out for really, just glancing at threads.

Was thinking about throwing in some weapon mods but it seems like there's already a good amount in the base game without adding new overpowered / overly situational shit.

Attached: file.png (195x464, 17K)

your starsector folder should have a screenshot folder, check it out

They're tiny additions but I like them for the immersion: Combat chatter and combat alarm sounds.

With me it gives a screen that happened a while earlier than the screen i currently have, or it throws the tactical screen over the battle.

Do what you do in any game. Buy bigger weapons and make more money.

I dont know what works well though. I tried simulation but nothing really works

I had to prove this movie was real not too long ago...

They all have vast archives with thousands of different surveys of every single celestial body in the sector. They don't care. They just need to keep people busy and make it look like they're planning to do something. When you hand in survey data, they don't even look at it. They just chuck it with the rest.

I am big dumb, how do you get enough supplies to sustain a large fleet? I've got 1 capital and 7 cruisers and I feel like I can't go do things in the fringe of the galaxy without running out of fuel or supplies. I know I should get another tanker and freighter but that just generates more supply/fuel usage.

>removing the rarted gate costs
Shit how do you do that?

Well, frieghters may increase the consumption, but not to the scale of the capitals and cruisers, besides, of you have all that, you should've already started your colony, in which case money for supplies shouldn't be an issue.

>mods\Active-Gates-master\data\config
>open the settings file
>change the fuel multiplier to 0
It will still charge you a little fuel, I average 9 to 30 depending on gate distances but it can be handwaved as the fuel cost of getting in and out.

>not drawing it on a paper next to your keyboard

I can accept that cost, but holy fuck the costs I got had it bad enough that I'm thinking it's probably not that they broke, but that we can't pay the retarded fuel costs of going to the other sectors to begin with.

I just started my first colony and it's still pretty small so it doesn't make much yet. I overestimated how expensive colonies are and waited way too long before making my first. So my financial situation isn't the greatest.

When I start a new game I use debug mode to check out the list of planets and sort it by most valuable.
If there are good planets on the list, then I stick with it. If there aren't, I restart.

Fite me.

>Try tachyon lance analogues from Neutrino and DME which people consider OP mods
>Still prefer vanilla one because EMP too savage
Seriously, fucking up whole ship with clear hit in hull is too sick.

The cdkey on the image doesn't work.

If you're using Active Gates, which you should be that won't work. A system with a gate in it is worth far more than one where you have to travel in and out. Also a 2 star gas giant with a few 1-3 star planets orbiting are far more useful than a lone 5 star. The super world can only be defended by its own fleets but a bunch of shitty worlds close to each other can put up enough fleets to screen out any invasion force.

It still kinda works since you can still check the system the planet is in and see the hazards of the rest of them.

Does anyone use Cathedral hubship from SW Pack?
It`s fucking weird.

Idea is to make all existing vanilla factions use their own painted versions(mostly the same, maybe minor difference) and add more conversions(especially civilian ones) for indies/scavengers/pirates/ludds
Essentially Vanilla plus

Because your brain is rotted

Why do you even need all those "escorts"? Just keep the capitals and the carriers, the rest are literally just leeching off your supplies. Get some Collossi to take their place, maybe even a couple Atlas frieghters and fucking hell dude where's your tanker?

I just found myself a free guntlas. Is it worth keeping, I already have a pretty big fleet.

I just use drones to flood the battlefield while my capitals get in range. All my logistics are off the page, I use one atlas, one prometheus and a couple medium sized freighters and tankers when I'm going into the far corners

HIL are remnants technology only?

I have to admit that I have absolute shit pilot skills

Ruthless Sector to increase difficulty

Discovered some real moneymaking abuse
Just attack the spaceports and disrupt them, wait the month or 2 it takes for them to be ok with trading with you again, then sell them supplies, fuel, marines, drugs, and organs in deficits of 400 to 1000 at 3x the market price

It's such a pain trying to get so much cheap materials to sell I just grab an from my resource stockpile, it's the flat base price with no taxes so it's worse then finding deficits but faster

I end up pulling out 1.5 mil at the end of the month in resources and sell it to the poor dying sindra for 4 mil

This one

The game has blueprints from what I've found, can you actually produce your own ships and gear for them? Can I make an actual fleet that's not a total mess, consisting of 25 different ship types?

Yep, you have to make a colony first. Once you have heavy industry running you can make ships.

Found a colony and star up heavy industries. Once you find a nanoforge all your produced ships will stop having d-mods

Does it happen in a reasonable timeframe or is each ship taking a billion years to produce?

Dunno how you define reasonable. It's not like you can make 25 in one month with a brand-new colony though. It depends on the colony's size and on the size of the ship you're making

kill them, i was 99 rep then i bombed their shit a few times to lower their stability horribly and cause them to decivilize, only cost me 20 reppoints or so. when they are gone they can be taken for free

And rocket cruisers with pillums.

Not really, but you can go into mods/Portrait pack/graphics/portraits and delete the egregious portraits yourself.

you can pay to remove d-mods on refit screen

For some reason the default AI routine is to position themselves right in front of an enemy ship. That's why you'll often end up with those retarded traffic jams where you have three ships hugging each other's asses right in the line of fire of the enemy.

Chose your market wisely. Locate the ones where the markup is the highest. Maybe a market that's about to get hit by a raid, or an invasion, or a market that has decivilized. You have insider information on those things, use it.
It also doesn't have to be strictly illegal goods, but if you insist on those, make sure to chose Tri-Tachyon as your supplier. They usually have more on hand and the prices are lower.

By turning that weakness into an asset. They just spam sabots, autopulse keeps pressure up, tach lance exploits the high flux and hurricanes feel more reliable to me than standard torps. The Xyphos wings provide long range fire and guard the ship while venting. Front facing shields stop the ship from being exposed on the flanks and rear and make it soak up fire.

>implying the sector wasn't a some shithole populated by Mexicans, blacks, Indians, Arabs and jarheads

I don't think you understand the how the factions work with this whole maxism thing. Let me fill you in. There's the SJW faction, which consists of cucks, soibois, the L, B, and T of the LGBTP, and the "lol science" crowd, as well as most atheists. Their tech is Apple products, their main vehicle is the electric scooter. Opposing them is the anime nazi faction, which consists mostly of non-white white supremacists, with a small contingent of actual whites. Ideologically, they're mostly religious Luddites, although there is a subgroup that includes the G and the P of the LGBTP, which has ambiguous stance on that. Their tech is gook phones or, increasingly, dumb phones, and their main mode of transportation is walking, that is, when they do make the rare excursion out of the basement.

So it's either old mexicans and chinks or anime. There is no third position.

Only 7? Post fleet pics.

Try splitting your forces in half and rally them halfway up the battle space on opposing sides. Majority of the enemy fleet will split off to attack one side while the other is free to start flanking and mopping up stragglers and forcing the remainder to divide attention while it gets spit roasted.

But I'm selling on the open market.

Red planet defenses scale with something, not sure with what exactly. Post what yours consist of.

Your rep with other factions goes up and down based on the diplomacy of the faction you are commissioned with. So if your space jesus faction decides to one day declare holy jihad on everyone else then you are fucked.

Yes that change was good, but stuff that isn't an industry, i.e. a money-making element just utility shouldn't have an hard limit, especially since you are already spending money on that.

Frankly speaking the dev has no idea what the fuck to do with the colonies.

Commerce should deffo not count as Industry, definitely.

Where is the Warhammer 40k mod? There's a trillion shipclasses in the lore.

Patrol fleets are always two light pickets, regardless of colony size. The military base and high command are the ones that scale off of colony size.

You can pay to stop expeditions, otherwise upgrade to star fortress with at least one high command in the system and pray it's enough while your'e out exploring

There's like 5-6 fleets with multiple capitals each, even star fortress can't handle it because it simply gets overwhelmed by absurd numbers. Is there even any economy implemented in Nex that regulates how much forces they can deploy depending on their industry strength, or they just spawn in any number RNG desires?

Doctrine defining how ship performs
Generally low tech relies more on finite resources like armor or missiles and specialized projectile weapons while high tech focuses on sheld and universal energy weapons.

depends. Interestellar imperium has the olympus with its capital sized missile, diable avionics goes full macross, neutrino has knife ships, approlight, is well, approlight. take your pick.

Burst PD lasers and something in medium mounts, graviton beams will do or ion if you're ready to switch them on/off depending on target state. 1 autopulse should be relatively easy to find and it works good with paragon.

Uninstall and purge Java. Then reinstall.

approlight and neutrino.

Nigga you're running a warship. People are pushing themselves to the limit operating those battlestations. Even the metal itself will give after a time.

Although I envision a system where you have steady performance rate at which you can operate indefinitely, and could optionally set a higher rate for a bonus to shit like rate of fire and malfunctions, but only for a set amount of time, after which you get a malus of the same numerical value for a time until it returns to nominal. You could make the nominal rate so shit, people would pretty much be forced into using the bonus if you're worried about losing the tactical aspect of the CR system. Would probably be a bitch to balance, but it's another option in the rock paper scissors, with shit like pirates pumping themselves full of drugs and pushing their ships to the limit to operate like crazy for a short time, but eventually burning out and getting fucked unless they manage to pull out beforehand.

for something more guaranteed you can hunt brilliant drone carriers which always have at least one large energy weapon equipped

Mayasuran Navy and Seeker both have a phase capital.

Oh neat, seems broken as fuck, but that's expected

use imperium and diable avionics. the olympus' missle can be instead a missle platform and diable is basically missiles all day long.

Is this game worth it? I've pirated it two times but gave up after 5-8 hours of play each time because I didn't really have the funds necessary for better ships, and I'd usually be destroyed in combats or run out of supplies/money to keep going.

Yes the price goes down when you sell items, the prices you see in the item's f1 tooltip market list are for selling a a few hundred (depends on the item), so if you sell less you get more money per item.

Is a single patrol HQ enough to keep a system relatively safe?

>Is this game worth it?
Yes.

Some pirate fleets are always hostile, specifically ambushes, but if the fleet itself says "neutral" then idk why.

Time to start a colony

Attached: screenshot008.png (1920x1080, 1.23M)

So I should give it another chance then?

Managing resources in the early game is difficult if you don't know what you're doing. You're better off having a couple of good ships than lots of bad ones because of the way supplies get used in battles

Yes.

Dumbass question: For portrait mods, is it just to drag and drop the files?

No. Get heavy industry/orbital works and upgrade the Patrol HQ when you're able. It'll provide protection to the whole system, so you usually only need one upgraded hq per system. Also get orbital station and ground defenses, then upgrade those when you're able.

No, you need to add them to each .faction file as well. Download any portrait pack and see how they do it, it's simple enough.

No, it needs to be a 128x128 png, and you need to add them to the world via faction files, go dig into other portrait mods for an idea.

Oh right, I forgot, there's not much disadvantage to putting a patrol hq on every colony, but the upgraded ones require an industry slot, which is why you usually only have one.

But the portrait mods on the forum has already done this step, rite?

It's actually quite similar in tone to starsector. Slow paced, interesting but not entirely unique combat and fun, rewarding explorations with lots of new friends to meet.

i don't think that's a possible thing for a mod to do.

7/10 fleets too small
It does work, but you won't get future game updates with it. So, unlimited trial.

Why wouldn't you get future updates? Unless the dev disabled the key, it should work as if you owned the game

Pilliums will basically never hit the enemy, but they are excellent in that the AI tends to greatly overreact to them and will usually try their best to avoid them. Most ships will refuse to run into them so they are great for defensive play.

They will or already did blacklist the key, It won't affect current versions of it, but will lock you out of future ones.

Pink floyd paragon is best paragon.

Is this conjecture or can you actually back up your claims?

How's my fleet looking so far

Do yourself a favor and ditch combat freighters. They just do both jobs worse than dedicated ships. Save up for one atlas and one Prometheus

I actually think Mules are pretty good

And Apogee can kind of be considered a combat freighter

>capital ship
>safety override
Why do you lie user, caps cant use safety override

time for the real great debate

sunder or hammerhead

Any tips on kitting out the Imperium Battlestar?

It's a big brain play user, he's just trying to cover their side of the map in debris to get in the way of their guns when he calls in his actual fleet as reinforcements.

I like hammerheads. That one time I managed to do red planet quest, my only losses were 2 hammerheads, which I recovered afterwards.

Is there any way to un-disrupt buildings on colonies or do I just wait the half a year for all my shit to come back online?

Sunders for taking on larger ships
Hammerheads when it's early days and your fleet is destroyers at best

>do I just wait the half a year for all my shit to come back online?
this. also be sure to activate the "use stored supplies in case of disruption" that is on the top right of the colony management window. for some reason the colonies are idiots and refuse to use their stockpiled items they have unless they are ordered to do so.

Probably SCY's Nemean Lion. A row of spine-mounted large beams coupled with an armoured shell that closes down to give it good defense but prevent it from firing it's big guns sounds pretty anime.

Shitty google image because the codex doesn't show the armour plates and I don't wanna have to find one ingame just for a screenshot.
