I might help out the world somehow with my leet hax, but I'll probably just fuck around until I get bored. The training can probably go into social stuff, since directly fucking with data will make most other stuff much easier.

I'd also put money into space travel and robotics research, so that humanity survives for a while longer and I eventually get a sweet new bod with at least a few of the human senses.

>>44562328

You can make a build with it. It's not the CYOA's fault you're not happy with a budget build.

>>44562328
> without taking extremely high combat titles.

Pfft. Take Berserker and Saint. That gives you enough to make a well built destroyer. Berserker is actually a positive for the most part, and Saint just requires you to give Alessia a damn bath. And your dick.

There are only a handful of "extremely high combat titles," none of which are necessary for anything but a battleship. And if you want to fly around in a battleship, well no shit you should have to take serious complications.

It cost me somewhat over 500mc. (plus all the money the jobs gave)
Now everything has gotten more expensive, the jobs give less money and i have no way of making the 400mc back without taking things that will put my ship/crew/life into constant life threatening peril.

please let me know

To clarify: If a new version has LESS ways to make a valid build, and some builds that were balanced before are now not possible any more at all, that is a removal of content.
Content in a CYOA is not only how many different things you ca buy, it's mostly how open the universe is to you combining them.

>>44562649
I never made anything like that.
I just made something that was largely self sufficient and could take a beating. It didn't even have weapons that could harm battleships for fucks sake.

>>44562683
Well no matter how you put it it's a removal of content to suit the fighty shooty types more.
Diplomacy is now not even necessary for your crew and is a single point skill.

If the previous version allowed for you to become the scourge of the galaxy through shooting everything that comes into range, or also to be the king of the miners in an impenetrable mining fortress, or to be the commander of what is essentially a space station trying to keep order with a crew that would normally be at each others throats, adrift through the galaxy, defending yourself and others by any means necessary -

And meanwhile the new build allows you four different ways to be the shooty guy, with 6 more weapons, or you can be a shitty miner no one cares about -

well then i think the old build was better.

Ugh. This shit again. "SDA is stealing content from me because he changed things!" He made it so that you need to take risks in order to get the biggest ships. That's all.

Besides, see >>44562476
There are plenty of titles that don't kill you. It's not our fault you can't see past Demigod, Fatebreaker, or Hellraiser. It's easy to make a good destroyer without touching any of the guaranteed combat titles.

>>44562670

It's not quite 'less'. Sure the ship systems are mostly gone, with only the command modules remaining, but for the most part you could still have ALMOST the same ship if you actually tried.

Bigger ships are bigger targets, the bigger your ship/fleet the more of a target you become. You can't just say, "Oh, I'm a science vessel. So raiders and pirates shouldn't really bother me since I'm a non-combatant." Just cause your ship is pacifistic doesn't mean the rest of the galaxy is.

>>44562806
well the herald carrier is what i meant by "impenetrable mining fortress" actually
the new mothership no matter how large can't even slot 10 fighters.

>>44562821
But that's not a good thing.
Not everyone wants to take huge risks. And there's no other way to get credits apart from endangering your life in countless ways.

In the old version you had ways to be "da best" without half the galaxy trying to kill you.
You don't have any ways to be "da best" here, without half the galaxy trying to kill you.

No matter what else you say this point stands.

>>44562845
The problem is not having to make a new build the problem is that the only way to become a significant power in the new version is to be a combat focused brute.

>>44562611
> i have no way of making the 400mc back without taking things that will put my ship/crew/life into constant life threatening peril.
Take Berserker and Saint. That will give you 320m right there. Then find some stuff to cut to make up the remaining 80m.

>>44562670

If anything, there's actually more ways and more builds now. Just cause you can't make your old ship doesn't mean it's the CYOA's fault, it's your fault for not being able to adapt to change.

>>44562913
> I want a herald carrier without any downsides
> In the old version you had ways to be "da best" without half the galaxy trying to kill you.
> You don't have any ways to be "da best" here, without half the galaxy trying to kill you.

I'm really glad your build got trashed. Being "da best" should entail risks. If you want to take no risks, why should you just get everything dropped in your lap? If you want a safe build, just make a mining cruiser with the small/medium titles.

>>44562891
yeah see that's my point.
In the old build i COULD make a science vessel that was powerful enough to not be pulverized by pirates.
Or a mining vessel that had enough hull strength to last while reinforcements arrive.

That's not an option here.
You're either a warmachine, or some mediocre cruiser the first pirate raiding party you come across will be happy to take over.

>>44562916
It's more than 80 though, because the gear and hulls also got a lot more expensive.
And discounts for the hull don't apply for shields and energy systems any more.
And jobs bring less money.

>>44562922
see>>44562772
There are more ways to build *attackships*.

You got good at minmaxing the original and the beta, get good at minmaxing the 2.0.

Just because you don't want to take huge risks doesn't mean those huge risks don't exist. Take Traveller and Berserk, boom, instant 400m risk free.

Why should it?
Why isn't being a happy merchant with a huge mining operation a valid way to become influential?
Why isn't being an amazing scientist who sold an amazing invention (Kid A from the previous origins) an option?
Why isn't being a previous war hero, now retired and exploring an option?
Why isn't being a well funded explorer exploring strange new worlds and resources an option?


Why do you want the only option to glory be you constantly having to fight murderous things?

Bullshit. Not focusing on firepower frees up a lot of your points because trying to make a really powerful war vessel is not cheap. Meanwhile all the stuff for mining are still there. And that last direction you're going for there is just the firepower route with diplomacy tacked on which is still possible.

Barely anything was lost, prices just shifted around and you're only upset because YOU have trouble making your old build while plenty of others can figure out how to carry there's over.

>>44562913
> And there's no other way to get credits apart from endangering your life in countless ways.

Yes, there is. You've just been flat out refusing to listen to the people who have been telling you how. The Berserker gives 180m and doesn't actually put you in danger (if anything, it's actually a buff). The Old Timer, The Ghost, The Whisperer, and The Saint all give some money and don't put you in active danger either. The Prisoner is a sweet 200m that you just need to fluff right to make it work.

There are plenty of ways of getting money. You've just been covering your ears and screaming to avoid admitting that you're completely wrong.

>>44562968

Yes, yes it's an option. You could be a science vessel that could hold your own without having to be a warmachine. You could be a mining vessel with absurd shielding to take a beating.

Just cause you can't make the same the size of a capital ship doesn't mean they can't be done. The CYOA isn't doing anything wrong, you are if you aren't able to make your build work.


>>44563015

Everything you just mentioned fits under either Federation Civilian or Beatrice R&D, hell that's what the CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE origin is for.

>>44562969
>Take Traveller and Berserk, boom, instant 400m risk free.
That's actually what i did, but with everything becoming more expensive, discounts gone, free crewmembers gone, free bonus items from crewmembers gone, and new vehicles and equipment and rooms to buy, my previously 240m frigate now costs 320 with less equipment.

>>44563048
>Bullshit. Not focusing on firepower frees up a lot of your points
I wish it did, but it really really really doesn't.
See above. A Frigate with the lamest weapons possible costs almost 100mc more.

>>44563054
See above.

If you go and make a combat build, you can get 800mc from the titles, which is necessary because everything got more expensive.
>you can buy the same amount of stuff as before

If you make a non combat focused build, you can max get about 400mc. With everything getting more expensive

>you can't buy the same stuff as before

>>44563015
> Why isn't being a happy merchant with a huge mining operation a valid way to become influential?
You don't need a herald carrier for this. Fuck, you don't even need a particularly big ship, the Vd3 is plenty roomy for a mining ship and it's cheap enough that you don't need to bother with the risky titles. Same with the rest. The hull isn't the main cost, the guns and the combat focused hull mods are the main driver of cost. And if you're not doing combat, you don't need the pricey stuff in that regard. All you need is room, and there are plenty of cheap hulls with lots of room.

>>44563093
>If you make a non combat focused build, you can max get about 400mc. With everything getting more expensive
Nope. This is simply wrong.
100m start, another 300m from easy, noncombat titles, easily another 100m from contracts. Throw in another 20m from origin, and you're already well past 500m.

>>44563093

No shit making a combat build is expensive, you're putting your life on the fucking line. A civilian explorer or merchant trader has no business carrying the same amount of firepower since they aren't going to be entering the same kinds of situations.

>>44563093

To be honest, the bonus items from crew members never made any sense. I mean if your ship only had X amount of Spinal hardpoints, how is (insert crewmember here) supposed to add in (insert weapon here) if you're already full up on X hardpoints. And even if you didn't fill those hardpoints, why should having a crewmember immediately grant you some sort of (insert bonus here)?

Oh yeah, I'm hiring you AND that giant vault/artillery cannon you lug around for some reason.

>>44563093
> Complaining about 320m
You can get that with just The Berserker and some contracts. Easy.

> See above. A Frigate with the lamest weapons possible costs almost 100mc more.
And even the easiest titles/contracts give more than that to make up the difference. In previous versions, titles gave barely a tenth what they do now.

> If you make a non combat focused build, you can max get about 400mc. With everything getting more expensive
Non-combat builds are also really cheap because you don't need to go super high end on things like weapons, power generation, etc.

>>44563060
The point was not that the origins are bad, the point was that neither origin grants you the ability to become the very best the best there ever was without huge risks.
In the previous builds you did not have to take huge risks, and the in-game reasons were completely justified.

>>44563102
-Frigates have less room now.
-I wanted absurdly high shields like >>44563060 suggested. that's not possible with small hulls.
> the combat focused hull mods are the main driver of cost
They really are not.
An absolutely non combatant frigate now costs 80mc more in this build.


>>44563140
i meant you can get a max 400 from titles.+20m from origin. +the same from jobs as before
so at best you can be as rich as before.

But since everything got a lot more expensive you won't be able to buy anything close to what you were able to before.

Meanwhile if you make a combat focused build you can get 800m from titles, +20 from origin, + the same as before from jobs, which more than compensates for the increase in price

the result being that
>you can buy LESS if you go non combat then you used to be able to buy
>you can buy the same or MORE than you used to be able to buy if you make a combat build

So does anyone here actually have the older version?

>>44563214
> An absolutely non combatant frigate now costs 80mc more in this build.
And NON-COMBAT titles already give you that much more. They used to give 10-20m, now they can easily give you 200m. And that's without touching any of the titles that actually have someone gunning for you.

>>44563250
Which one? There are several.

>>44563214

Take a Heraldic ship, take a Mana Core and Heraldic shielding. That shit is absurdly cheap and durable.

And no shit, ANY kind of Frigate is going to cost more than 80m.

>>44563269

>>44563274
>Take a Heraldic ship

>>44563206
>320
it was part of a multi ship build altogether worth 750m

i didn't only have ONE frigate.

>Non-combat builds are also really cheap because you don't need to go super high end on things like weapons, power generation, etc.

That is false, because you need to go full out on your rooms, and your defensive capabilities if you don't want to get mauled by space pirates.
Why would you not get attacked by space pirates just because you declare you're a non combatant?

>>44563257
are you somehow ...

i LOSE 400m starting credits
and then i have to pay 80m more for the frigate.

which means i'm at a net loss of 480m credits.

titles give me 350 more credits max

which means i still have 130m credits LES to spend on other ships?

>>44563274
i think you misread something.
it costs 80m credits MORE than it used to.

>>44563214
>>44563274
Don't forget the Shield Extender for another +2 shield strength, it's also cheap as hell.

>>44563214
> neither origin grants you the ability to become the very best the best there ever was without huge risks.

So you want to be the very best, the best there ever was, without serious risks? That's incredibly stupid. Being the very best shouldn't be easy. Being mediocre should be easy, and it is. Don't want to take risks? You don't have to. But you're not going to be "the best thing ever" without risk.

>>44563214
>The point was not that the origins are bad, the point was that neither origin grants you the ability to become the very best the best there ever was without huge risks
Which makes fucking sense because either you're a little fish in a big pond who keeps out of trouble or you're a famous ship captain who grabs life by the balls and isn't scared of a little fight. Guess which one is the very best the best there ever was. Hint: It isn't the one that stayed at home because heading out into neutral wasn't entirely safe.

>But since everything got a lot more expensive you won't be able to buy anything close to what you were able to before.
You keep saying this, but I'd like to know what version you were using and the build you had so that we can actually see if you're telling the truth or just talking out you ass.

> I want a giant alien carrier with max shields and a bunch of escorts without taking risks!

Wow, you're really just a colossal whiner.

>>44561402
Digitization seems best. It's not like you can't upgrade the android body or make a new one that has all senses or something...

Why are people even replying?

>>44563341
You can't even have a giant alien carrier anymore even if you take all the maximum possible risks.

>>44563289

Having 100m starting credits makes so much more sense than 500m in a narrative perspective. Having 100m starting credits means you aren't going to make some absurdly overpowered ship without even factoring in the titles yet.

Then take a different ship, take some nuclear reactor, and take advanced shielding. It's not rocket science.

And the free shit never made any sense. If you wanted some uber special background that doesn't fit with any of the other origins you took Choose Your Own Adventure.

I think you're just butthurt that Star Dust brushed off a lot of it's 'easy mode' parts. Like the inflated credits and free junk.

>>44563286
Then you want to buy and use one of the most valuable, elusive pieces of technology in the known setting.

Yeah, of course when you do that no one should want to ask questions about why you got and of course no one should try to take it for themselves and of course it shouldn't come with an inherent risk represented by the drawbacks.

>>44563383
I'm a different anon from the one you're arguing with, and I must say his build got off easy compared to mine, which was combat-oriented.

Hellraiser plus Demigod grants you 920m to play with before contracts. Mothership costs 520m. 400m left, before contracts.

You can easily get over a billion if you want to minmax and churn out as many points as possible. After all, it'll never get played, you'll never actually have to suffer the theoretical drawbacks of creating the biggest and best possible ship.

Why?
There are reasons why someone would have a chance like that. Those reasons have been nicely laid out in the previous buid.
You sold some invention for a ton of money.
You're an explorer sponsored by a megacorp.
etc

even if you go with titles, how does being hunted by some shady federation illuminati bringing you more money and more chances to be the very best than discovering an entirely new sector of the galaxy all on your own with all the riches there?

>>44563323

How exactly do you explain "mining king steve" as a contract, if the only way you can get influential is by being a fucking one man army.

there are countless ways to get influential apart from combat and i fail to comprehend why you seem unable to think of any.

But why do you have to factor in the titles? Or if you absolutely want to go with titles instead of jobs (which would from a narrative point of view make more sense) then why are there no titles granting big money apart from "xy want to kill you dead"?

would "mining king" be less of a title?

>>44563547
i'm just trying to prove the guy who said everything is better with the new version wrong.

>>44563573
Efficient combat vessels are the only vessels that require over 100m to make.

I can make a functional and efficient exploration, industrial, entertainment or colony ship for less than the starting amount and that's not factoring in contracts. A great big combat bruiser is the only one that requires lots of money, which in turn require combat-based drawbacks to build.

So would tg like a sort of martial arts CYOA, something very similar to the Edgardo greentext?

Also does tg like a combat system? I.e. do you like the maker putting in how much damage stats give and how much damage resistances lower, etc?

>>44563622
No one said that. It all started with:
>>44562328

>>44563598

Let me hire Gregor Hunter, he comes with a free Auto Cannon somehow. Let me hire Tyler, if I'm a Feddie I somehow get 2 free Auto Cannons. I'll hire Zetta too and get 2 free Rail Cannons on the front of my ship. I'll hire Lia Stitt and get an extra Cargo Bay too.

Yeah, makes sense right?

>>44563622
The biggest drawback of the new version is shitposters like you.

>>44563653

>Edgardo greentext

God bless you anon for reminding me about that glorious story.

Would be good. Just makes sure the different martial arts actually are different.

>>44563523
>That would be a nice thing had SDA not explicitly stated that the bonus only applies to the other ship.
He never said that.
When I asked him about how it worked back in v2.0.1 he only changed the active effect to decreasing the shields by 20% and sharing the shield strength with all ships within a moderate distance, he didn't say anything about the +2.

>>44563523
>that is so retarded i don't even know what to say.
Pretty sure you're retarded and don't understand the point I'm making. You don't become the best by not taking risks. People don't remember a guy who always took it safe and never stepped outside a comfort zone. Sure he lead a safe and low-key life, but he never really accomplished anything of note. Which is certainly not the best the best there ever was.

>there are countless ways to get influential apart from combat and i fail to comprehend why you seem unable to think of any
Oh, I can certainly think of several ways of being influential besides having the ship most armed to the teeth. Mining mogul, first response medical ship, luxury cruiser, messenger ship, science vessel, exploration vessel, and stealthy intelligence gathering ship just off the top of my head. All of which don't have to spend as much on weaponry and ship defense as a ship whose sole purpose is to out-gun every other bastard they meet. Yes they have to pay for rooms, but do you think the military vessels are nothing but cargo space? That they don't have to spend money on hull mods, better shielding, better armor, and just generally more expensive ships to get more weapon slots?

Oh yes, I would like that.

>Also does tg like a combat system? I.e. do you like the maker putting in how much damage stats give and how much damage resistances lower, etc?
CYOAs aren't games, so I don't really think they need things like that. Verbal descriptions about what different choices and stats actually mean works better in CYOAs than attempts at crunch, at least most of the time. If you already have a really good idea about a combat system, then go for it, but if you don't, there's no need to try to come up with one.

>>44563651
Only if you think that you don't need any defensive capabilities, because clearly you being a non combatant should be enough to make pirates ignore you...


>>44563673
yeah i was trying to supply the data proving that the new versions were worse. because that guy assumed that they weren't.

I really don't see why not. Why would someone not supply you with their own ecquipment that they happen to have in their garage somewhere if they join your crew 4 lyf?

>>44563726
i should have archived that thread because someone asked him how that +2 think worked and he said that that should be changed anyway because it obviously don't just add +2 to your shields.

>>44563766
>Pretty sure you're retarded and don't understand the point I'm making. You don't become the best by not taking risks
If you think the only possible risk to take is "xy wants to kill you"
then no, a lot of people have become immensely successful without taking risk like that. in fact i would say most have.
And currently there are very few other risks in the titles that you can take.

>>44563766
>Mining mogul, first response medical ship, luxury cruiser, messenger ship, science vessel, exploration vessel, and stealthy intelligence gathering ship just off the top of my head
Yeah and neither of those get any financial advantages from titles!
This is exactly what i'm saying.

Also military vessels don't need any science rooms or rooms to produce fresh food or ore processing or factories or super amazing crew facilities, etc.

>>44563870
>Every luxury cruise ship, cargo freighter, oil tanker and other non-combat auxiliary ship must be capable of defending itself from pirates successfully without aid from combatants.

So, you want a ship focused on non-combat that's an effective combat ship?

>>44563910
I want a ship that is able to not be boarded immediately by the first pirate boarding party that happens to come across it.

One that can effectively run away to a safe port.

One that has an exorbitant amount of shileding so it can actually venture out into space.

It doesn't have to be able to destroy anything but torpedos.

Like a space station.
Think DS9 from startrek.

It can barely move, has nigh 0 weapons, but with its shields fully upgraded it could withstand an assault of an entire squadron until help arrived.

I want a healer/tank to put it in gamer speak.

That's currently not possible, because the only way you can make some ships that are tank-y is to make a build exclusively focused around that tanky ship and giving it loads of weapons so you can take the "xy tries to kill you" titles.

>>44563870
>Only if you think that you don't need any defensive capabilities, because clearly you being a non combatant should be enough to make pirates ignore you...
Why a miner in Wayward would need guns? They're deep in Fed territory and surely being the supplier of half galactic ore they will have the Navy protection.

>>44563870
>i should have archived that thread because someone asked him how that +2 think worked and he said that that should be changed anyway because it obviously don't just add +2 to your shields.
That someone was me, and I remember him not saying anything about the +2, just the active effect.
How do you think it works if it doesn't do exactly what it says it does (gives +2 SS to the ship the SE is mounted in)? It can't be for the other ships since they get the same shield value as the SE ship.
You're arguing that the CYOA doesn't make sense, and you're free to feel that way, but that doesn't have any influence on the CYOA, you should have realized that by now.

>>44564001
Take a cloaking device and a teleport jammer. Both are cheap, and let you slip away from a fight without getting boarded.

>>44564018
I don't want to make a luxury cruise ship.
Also every area in this cyoa can have pirates in it.

>>44564013
I don't want to be in fed terrirotry exclusively.

Can you people really not understand what i'M trying to say?

I want a safe haven fortress ship for deep space shenanigans.

I don't need the ability to pulveize planets, I don't need the ability to take on entire fleets, because that's not what my goal is.
If there's a fight i'll run away.

But i need to have sufficient defensive capabilities to be able to do so without being pulverized.

In other words: being SOMEONE on a galactic scale, without engaging in combat a lot.

Same as voyager, the original enterprise, babylon 5, etc.

Is this so completely absurd a wish?

>>44564001
Jesus Christ, do you think that there's a squadron of Talon fighters lurking on the surface of the dark side of the moon? Do you think they're just sitting there, furiously masturbating over the prospect of a ship that isn't armed to the teeth lifting off so they can mug the fucker?

Even during the height of piracy during the Age of Sail, there were still hundreds of civilian and merchant ships that were never touched once by pirates. The same here. There's countless routes and zones which are perfectly safe and where you can lurk without needing more than the most rudimentary weapons.

You want a healer/tank? A healer in this context is a combat role. A tank in this context is a combat role. If you want a combat role, you're making a combat ship. Efficient combat ships require combat-based drawbacks. A non-combat ship is not a tank, it is not a healer, it is not a fucking DPS. It's a non-combat ship. It avoids fights at every opportunity because it cannot fight, because it is non-combat. If you're making a non-combat ship that's good at combat, it's no longer a non-combat ship and you shouldn't be concerned with avoiding the combat-based titles.

No.
Heavily armored crew transporter.
And in this context a mobile bunker.
That's what i want.
>it's no longer a non-combat ship and you shouldn't be concerned with avoiding the combat-based titles.
This was all in a build i called "comfy build".
The point was to have a mobile bunker to retreat to without having to literally always be on the run because you can't fight off the endless hordes of enemies that want to kill you because you're a bunker, not an artillery squad.

>>44564212
Dreadnoughts can't cloak, they can't take hull mods so no cloaking device. Also, what the fuck are you doing building a mining ship with a fucking dreadnought hull?

>>44564124
This is the part you guys don't understand.
Risks are fine.
Hell even the titles are fine albeit having the money come from jobs would make more sense.

But what's not fine is that all the big money is in "xy wants to kill you" titles. Neither of those ships up there had anyone that was out to get them all the time.
They had enemies they ran into occasionally but they didn't even always fight them.
Meanwhile all the options in stardust involve people being out to definitely murder you and your entire crew completely dead.

Let's have a look at this hospital ship, as an example. Look at its armaments, see how heavily fortified it is, look at how capable of defending itself it is. Oh wait, it has no armaments at all, in the middle of a war. According to your logic, it should have been sunk the moment it left port. Oh well, shall we have a look at a couple of other World War hospital ships? Surely this is a one-off.

Only one of these vessels was ever armed and that was when it was an armed merchant cruiser, rather than a hospital ship. By the logic we're operating on, these horrifically optimized non-combat vessels should have been sunk the moment they left port.

Except the world doesn't work that way and if we extend that logic to this CYOA, your belief that every vessel needs to be armed and armored to the teeth falls apart.

>In other words it's not possible to be a mining mogul like mining king steve, because if i decide that i want to be a miner instead of the harbinger of death i will not get any money.

No. You're being an idiot. You can be a mining mogul, you're just not going to be able to do it in a fucking DREADNOUGHT.

Honestly, the Vc9 and the Vd3 are plenty big enough to be great mining vessels. Fuck, the Excursion is cheap enough to build a good miner out of it and it's a damn battleship.

Anyone got any lewd ones?

Anyone got any examples of a mixed sci-fi and fantasy CYOA or a Lovecraft CYOA I can look at?

Hell, Maurentania is specifically noted to have avoided capture or destruction using SPEED, meaning he would logically be buying a Frigate or Destroyer and, you know, running the fuck away.

>>44564617
Not a CYOA, but Demonbane tried to this. The result is very... special, but you could take a look at it.

>>the fucking CYOA, the version after SDA's previous post

>>44564873
You give away the 20% that you sacrifice from your own.

You don't magically duplicate your entire fucking shield strength.

>>44564788
Do you know expensive a pirate ship is? Not to mention all the valuable loot on board, no captain would want to abandon their vessel. And the crew objects then they can just grab a spacesuit and jump out the airlock.

>>44564953
Or it could be that it was weakened by that much as the shield expanded.

Wait, shit. I thought you replaced the SS of allied ships with the SS of the SE ship -20%. It isn't really clear whether "it" refers to the 20% or the new SS.

Workaround. I'm using CC 2015, so I think they just introduced that option on this version.

Okay up to now we've all been just talking about hypothetical things so I'm going to tell you about the (indubitably extremely autistic and retarded and minmaxing etc) build i made.

I had one main ship. A pulsar frigate, that was essentially something like firefly, except less of a dump. All the important rooms, all facilities needed for everything but hella cramped. Heraldic power and shields, and some minor armaments and a single OK triglav fighter loaded to deal with threats of equivalent size.
This would have been what I would've used for getting around and general adventuring.

The second thing was a full heraldic carrier. All volunteer crew, plus androids and whatnot. basically an empty derelict hull just there to house some mining drones, the twin fangs fighters and my frigate. The only thing it had was e-defense and awesome shields. This would've been the mobile bunker. A true mining/hospital fortress. taking in and helping anyone in need that it finds on its way. Teleport jammers blink and cloaking would've ensured that after surviving the initial assault while the miners and fighters return it could escape from any threat.

The carrier would've been something like Lexx except with red dwarf-y proportions.
The frigate would've been like the normandy but more cramped because lots of rooms.

And there wuld've been one last frigate, with an A5 android at the helm, no life support except in the cargobays, a single machine gun, and tons of hull reductions for speed, which would've served as the cargo shuttle to planets.

Tell me was this so horribly imbalanced that it needed to be made impossible?

>>44563835
Anyone remember when AMC damage was listed as "holes through planets"?

It was a better time.

Whats that? I'm teaching myself GIMP, and while its neat some of the limitations are frustrating. I'd like something, read: freeware, that allows me to create something akin to a sourcebook in PDF form, combined text and pictures and all that.

>>44565089
>>44565009
How would that work?
How would one frigate give another frigate a *complete new* full set ss and only lose 20% of its own, which it would most likely regain by the +2 shield it got from the shield extender.

That would mean you could essentially not equip shields on that second frigate. Because you'd still get the 10-20%+2=10 shields of the first frigate.

>>44565325
Right, so, your shield get's bigger, and the new shield is something nearby ships can take shelter within. The expansion weakens it by 20 percent, but it's still one singular shield. It's not giving a shield to anything, it's own shield is just growing large enough to accommodate other nearby ships as well as it's self.
How would the module give anything a new shield, even by twenty percent?

And i tried to crunch some numbers and i cannot even make anything remotely resembling a setup like this.
Not even if i sacrifice the nice flair of the empty derelict heraldic hull and use a normal carrier instead.
And frigates cannot take all the necessary rooms any more either.
>>44565269

>>44565318
GIMP is really hard to learn, but there's not much you can't do.

>>44565381
Do you even read what you're writing? You would've inflated your shields to such a big size that en entire new ship or MULTIPLE even can take shelter in it and you only expect it to be 20% thinner?
Then why not just have the other ships be without shields and just float around your primary ship all the time?
Also, this would mean that two 15 ss vessels could boost each other to maximum possible shield strength with a single cheap console.

No SDA was pretty clear that you sacrifice 20% of your shields to give it (the amount you sacrificed) to vessels nearby.

>>44565381

Don't get me wrong.
It would be a pretty cool thing to do, and i'd love it but there's no way i can take the description to mean that.

I understand his interpretation and acknowledge that it's more reasonable than mine. The wording is pretty unclear, "it" could be either
>20% of your ship's shields
or
>your ship's shields

>>44565325
I don't know, I interpreted "it" in the second way mentioned above and thought it would be too OP if the shields were added together, so it would have to be replaced to remain balanced.

>10-20%+2=10
I'd say it makes more sense to apply +2 before -20%, but you could do it your way for maximum min-maxing.

>>44565461
>SDA was pretty clear
He really wasn't.

I don't even care about the shield sharing, I just take it for the +2.

>>44565269

Yes, it's terribly imbalanced. Absurdly so.

>>44565636

>>44565664
Just by virtue of having a Heraldic ship you make yourself a huge fucking target. Also how the fuck is a regular miner supposed to afford a fucking Herald capital ship?

>>44565536
Actually, disregard that, I'm can't into English.
"It" can't refer to "ship's shields" since "ship's shield" is plural, while it can refer to "20% of ship's shields" since that's singular.

>>44565720
so what if my mega ship with almost nothing in it is inexplicably hypervaluable forerunner magetech? its empty, so it should be allowed to drift nearly derelict in space for a low low price.

>>44565720
I wasn't a miner.
In fact all the profits from mining would've went to the people living in the ship.
My background was the tech genius. I invented something and sold it for such an absurd amount of money that i donated half of it to charity (see heraldic carrier) and used the other half to go adventuring.

And i know i would've been a huge target, but i can disappear in two minutes once everything's docked, and afterwards go and simply disappear and immediately cloak without the enemy knowing where i went.
So while being a huge target i never would've had to enter combat.

I wouldn't have been able to do a lot with that heavily armored derelict hulk, only with the frigate, but it would've been cozy as f.

i know it was valuable. I spent all my starting money on it. The only reason i didn't have to spend MORE on it because it was totally gimped and i didn't put any equipment on it.

Behold, a decent sized miner that's good at the things that a miner needs to be good, with a couple of frivolous extras. I didn't even take all of their available titles or an extra contract - just MK Steve and the Old Timer to show that yes, you can make an efficient mining ship without relying on combat titles.

>>44565269
Your build is a herald carrier and two frigates. And you're whining that now you can't afford that without taking some risks.

No shit, you shouldn't be able to afford a fucking huge alien capital ship plus escorts unless you're willing to take some risks. Why should some mediocre nobody who never leaves his comfort zone be able to get a herald carrier without doing anything to earn it?

>>44565889
Because if you make a CYOA, /tg/ assumes you have a fetish for its subject matter.

>>44565817
Herald ships in general are rare as fuck. A Herald capital ship is even more rare. You're more likely to face adversity from regular factions that want your ship than random pirate gangs.

I also don't know why you insist on absolutely having a herald carrier for this build. You could just grab a regular carrier for less cost and it would fulfill the same role. The only reason I can see for needing a Herald ship instead of a regular one is because you want to be a special snowflake.

the capital ship is an empty hull and ships without any sort of advanced weaponry don't exactly qualify as escorts do they?

Do you?

>>44565938
It wasn't a capital ship.
It was a simple carrier which there were lots of.


And it doesn't HAVE to be a heraldic thing, that was only nice for fluff.
The only reason it was needed was for the max shields in that version which you could only get with herald ships.
You can achieve the same with other ships in the new version, however, i tried building something similar, but it's not possible.

Nothing even remotely similar with a mobile bunker is possible here.
All dreadnoughts and all carriers are so ridiculously expensive that if you pick any of those you will not be able to afford a second ship, even if your carrier is just an empty floating tincan.

>>44566043

In other words you cannot have a big ship with max shields and a smaller ship as your main ship.

>>44566103
I don't understand why you absolutely, positively needs max shield, that's for like charging into a battlefield (as in, thousands of fighters, cruisers and battleships shooting at anything that moves in range). The destroyer VIKING (from Blackhawk Elite, which is constantly at fight against pirates in the outer rims) with an ADVANCED (not standard which is, by definition, the one that most ships use) shielding have a shield value of 15. If you can get near it with you're pretty safe against small pirate raiding parties.

>>44566169
Without taking higher-tier titles? No, you can't.

Besides, why does a mining ship need max shields? Most combat battleships and carriers don't even have max shields. The only reason to have max shields is if you expect to get into fights, or otherwise draw a lot of unwanted attention to yourself. Both of these can be more or less avoided by not grabbing a fucking Herald capital ship hull, after all it makes sense that grabbing a large Herald ship is going to get you complications and unwanted attention, which are easily represented by taking higher-tier titles.

>>44565912
I made one that's a bit more rounded (still with zero combat), but I'm really impressed that you managed to do yours with so little.

I'm going to point out that as a non-combat oriented ship you could scrap or downgrade most of your T2 or T3 weapons for extra credits to be spent on other non-combat shit. Because you honestly don't need 4x Particle Beam Cannons as a mining ship.

So the fact you have them proves you get plenty of resources to work with in this new version.

>>44566280
>>44566300
Incidentally, if you want plenty of shields, this ship has 20. More than enough for a mining ship. It also has navigation 16, a cloaking device, and a teleport jammer, so it's more than capable of slipping away from any pirates it happens to stubble upon.

>>44566277
>>44566251
It wasn't a mining ship.
It was a mobile bunker.
I imagined it to be basically like a floating thing that was just settled by humans and happens to have working engines and shields.

I could've just as well taken the plot of land from the "This land was made for you and me" job and dug out a bunker but i couldn't have taken that with me when i ventured to the other side of the galaxy.

>The only reason to have max shields is if you expect to get into fights, or otherwise draw a lot of unwanted attention to yourself
Or if you expect to be on the other side of the galaxy for a decade or two.
Which was exactly what i was going for.
And i believe that is dangerous enough on its own without me taking even higher tier titles.

Yeah, I thought about downgrading the weapons, but I ended up with a bunch of credits leftover at the end, so I decided just to keep them. And this way, it can ward off small fry pirates with the threat of its guns, rather than having to cloak/run and interrupt a mining operation.

>>44566424
> I was trying to make something that has so ridiculously high shields that it essentially is a force of nature and has zero other qualities.

And you think you should be able to do this without having to do anything for it? You essentially want to be invincible (which, incidentally, isn't even possible because shields max out at 25 and there are AMCs that just laugh at such things). And on top of that, you want to not actually have to do anything to get that invincibility.

That's stupid. If you want a ship that is "a force of nature," or that is "the very best, the best that ever was," you should have to work for it. Demanding that you be given that with zero effort is just plain lazy.

>>44567822
No. Fuck no. Ithuriel is the best angel. Kristel is pretty bro-tier as well.

>>44566538
It can cost me an arm and a leg, but then the problem is that paying an arm and a leg shouldn't be only possible via combat

>>44566642
>you should have to work for it.
work doesn't have to be exclusively murdering or being murdered.

Also it's not so much a force of nature as an asteroid with engines.

Why should i pay with the lives of my crew for something that essentially amounts to strapping a blink drive and a few engines to a rock?

>>44566652
I do not want to do anything of the sort.
Are you baiting?
Seriously is everyone here so awful at reading comprehension or so much of a dick that you always automatically assume everyone else is completely evil / retarded / doesn't know shit?

Once again for everyone. I didn't want to build a ship. I didn't want to use it for anything other than a mobile bunker.
Can i do that?
No i fucking can't because anything large enough to serve as a bunker will immediately cost so much that there's nothing you can put inside of it.

>>44566879
>If you're going to avoid all combat, what the hell do you need a "force of nature" bunker dreadnought for anyway?

This here is a good question: because it's a whole different feeling. It's something to "come home to" while you're on the opposite end of the galaxy with the Traveller title. That was the whole point of the build. To have some place to come home to.

How is Angel Protesteth Too Much better than Shadowrunning, Angel edition?

I'm sorry anon. But we can't be friends.

>>44567602
Playing this as not a waifu-CYOA but as a "what would I actually do in this scenario", and Esme seems horrible also, the way she's written, I'm reminded of Angelanon's writing style. At least you didn't write lez or cuz.. She by far has the hottest description, but I'd get pretty annoyed by it.

So I'm going with Laurette, since she's a level 5 'angel' and I don't have the meta-knowledge of knowing I'm a level 6.
>wants me to pick her up after work, embracing her and kissing her on her forehead, then walking home, hand in hand.
yes.
I'm not embracing her kink, though. She's far too pure for that.
>still remembers that one time someone accidentally touched the butt
she is so absolutely adorable.
I definitely want to marry that cutie, but not right away. I don't want her powers when I'll be with her forever, so I need mine to develop first.
>suburban house
Even if it's kinda far from the city, so it'll be a long walk to Laurette's work. Maybe we could keep her apartment and just use my house as a "home-away-from-home".
>Golem
I don't like the idea of a 'living' being being my maids.
>Retail
Gotta be honest, none of the jobs really interest me.

What could I possibly need her power for? And how could that possibly become more potent?

But there are angels legitimately looking for meido work.

Do you want to deny those meidos, Anon?

>>44567946
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks choosing Esme would be an exercise in misery.

>>44567992
Yea.
So sue me.
I just wanted a largely empty hull with shields and the blink drive.
And the rules of the previous versions allowed it.

Depends on your personality. I'm confident I could handle it.

>>44568106
Some people are a gay.

>>44567983
not for the first few hundred years, no.
We have all of eternity. I can wait until she's ready.
>>44568008
I guess... I mean, if Laurette, being level 5 and working as a waitress and me, a level 6, working in retail, I guess I can see a level 1-3 wanting to be a maid.
Under the assumptiion that Malakim legitimately want to be maids, I swap Golems for Malakim.
>>44568011
oh no, if this was a "one of these sluts show up at your door and want your dick inside of you for the next year", I'd pick Esme everytime. But I'm playing under the assumption that I'm stuck with her forever, and that'd be misery.

>>44567602
Tough, but depending on the specifics I'm thinking either Kristel or Ea. Esme is good in almost every other aspect but I'm not really into her kink.
>Estate
Who wouldn't want a Pocket Dimension Mansion?! Sky Condo's tempting though, I don't really need a large space to live.
>Maids
Probably either Malakim or Golem, but I don't really want any maids unless the mansion is big enough that they're necessary.
>Career
Gates of Heaven. Papers, please...

>>44567258
That's okay.

No idea, that's how wc3 and dota worked. Cant think of much else to replace it for agility.

It literally says that if she likes you she'll drop the act, what's not to love?

I mean, Laurette ranks pretty high for me too, right behind Ea and Isda for fourth place, but I can't imagine it being too interesting living with a very comfy stuttering doormat for all eternity.

Laurette seems to me like the very bottom of the 'uguu am i cute?" stereotype, good in small doses but annoying any other way.

>>44568207
cry harder homo.

>>44567822
While I'm not sure I can be the sort of master she seems to desire, she's still my go-to choice due to the more potent version of her power ("use your imagination" being the author's words, so full-on shapeshifting is what I'm imagining).

Hopefully she won't be too disappointed.

>>44568106
The part where it destroys the public perception of you? And the part where I really don't find slaves enticing at all? She's also apparently obsessed with sex and thus boring as fuck, if you will pardon the pun.

>>44568175
Kristel's kinks are excellent. Pretty much everything about her is.

It's just that shadowrunning in heaven sounds amazing.

>>44568262
>It literally says that if she likes you she'll drop the act, what's not to love?
because the fun part is getting ready to leave in the morning and her refusing to put on anything put shortshorts, then prancing through the streets, constantly dropping her bag and bending over at the hips, shoving her ass in your face then screaming "pervert!" so everyone can hear.
Having her talk loudly about all the things she forces you to do at home at lunch, them looking at you with disgust anytime they see you.
Then, when you've finally had enough, and because it's the only thing that stops her, you finally drag her into her office, her screaming the entire time saying you'll rape her, then herself closing the blinds and ripping your clothes off.

Ea is the "lol so randumb im SDA i like the anal XDDD benis in butt :^)" option aka. trash.

>>44567822
Esme would be so much work. Centuries of having to play the slave game would be exhausting, what if I just want to cuddle/chill/chat/relax? I like the fetish, but it wouldn't stay fun for long and after the year is up none of the other angels will touch you because they think A) you actually corrupted their brave sister into a pitiable slave or B) you put your dick in crazy.

Azriel is best tier. Fighting side by side, watching the sea beside each other, fucking each other into sweaty exhaustion and falling asleep in each others embrace.

You can do that without demanding a damn herald carrier. There are cheaper battleships and even cruisers that can be stupidly durable. Your insistence on having the very best hull possible for your bunker is stupid. If you're trying to defend it by saying "well, it's not really a hyper-advanced capital ship, it's just a mobile asteroid" then why the stubborn insistence on using a hyper-advanced capital ship hull? Just use an Ogre. That's literally what their description says they're used for. Or any of the various cruisers that can be made super durable. You don't need a top tier dreadnought just to make a home base, and your stubborn insistence that you should be able to afford one without any risks is just ridiculously unreasonable.

That, combined with your repeated insistence that SDA is somehow depriving you of content is why people assume you're retarded and don't know shit. Because that's exactly how you're behaving. It's not because people are bad at reading comprehension or because they're dicks, it's because you're acting like a whiny, entitled ass.

C'mon, anon. She's "embarrassed" about all this, she wouldn't want her shameful secret to get out.

>>44568395
you know I'm pretty sure most people who know her pretty well will have caught onto her bullshit a long time ago. There's probably not going to be many people around who actually take what she says at face-value.

it also gives you the ability to play the "straight man" in your two person comedy act that is every day life.

Please leave you abnormal monster.

>>44568487
>n why the stubborn insistence on using a hyper-advanced capital ship hull?
Ss i said it was only necessary in the old version where it was the only way to get max shields.

And in the new versions you can't make ANYthing large enough to actually be considered a base or bunker. And have it not be your main ship. I tried.
You cannot get 25/25 shields on something and have it just be a base and not be your main ship. It doesn't work.

>>44563874
better shields or a cryosleep room?

>>44567633
Ah, it's really tough to choose here. They're all pretty good.

Kyleth is really cool and I'm a bit of a /mu/tant, so I'm tempted to spring for that, but I'm not good at hauling equipment and I'm not really into oral.

Daeliph sounds like a cool friend or something, but I'm not sure I could bear living with her for an entire year. I wonder if I can make friends with the other archdemons once my year is up. That'd be cool.

Ultimately, though, I'm stuck between Lynneth and Mhyrienne. On one hand, I could really indulge myself with Lynneth, and I'd never get bored. Plus, none of her cons are a problem to me whatsoever.
On the other hand, Mhyrienne is a qt yandere waifu, and she has the best power out of any of them, and I'd really like to have it. Hopefully I develop that power naturally?

Since I'm a kinky motherfucker, I'm probably gonna end up choosing Lynneth. I really want to spring for the "Be Lucia's Slave" option once the year is up, but since the specifics for that are so vague even after reading >>44567030, I'm kind of stuck between that and the extended contract.

>>44568552
We can switch genders.
The fact that i like guys doesn't mean that i want to be a chick.

>>44568581
No shit, that's because getting 25/25 shields on anything is a massive fucking investment.

>>44568495

Then the entire previous post i replied to has no point.

> There are cheaper battleships and even cruisers that can be stupidly durable. Your insistence on having the very best hull possible for your bunker is stupid.

It's not "stupidly" durable if it has far less than max shielding.

>>44568633
I wanted to build a hangar. A mobile hangar for my spaceship to be in. One that couldn't shoot but one that wouldn't be easy to damage. And it was very much possible in the previous version and i loved that headcanon.
It's not possible in this version.

That is why i think the new version is less good.
Because something i liked was possible now that something is not possible any more. That's all.

>>44568581
> You cannot get 25/25 shields on something and have it just be a base and not be your main ship. It doesn't work.
A Prospect is a cruiser that costs only 35m. It has 7 base shields. Add a shield extender (+2) and stalwart shields (+16). It now has 25/25 shields.

>>44568722
> It's not "stupidly" durable if it has far less than max shielding.

Cruisers can have max shields. Anything with base shields of 7 or higher can have max shields. You are simply wrong.
