I like the Neutrino aesthetic and weapons, but I just don't like the ship doctrine. I dislike the small omni-shield and reliance on defense.

come on guys it was a good week now lets all fuck off.

Anywhere that sells high tech ships, your best chance are military markets but I've seen Auroras in black markets of places like Sindria. Other than the obvious choice and Independents I'm pretty sure I've seen a few from Persean League since they consistently sell good ships.

>>375358569
this is the greatest starsector webm in existence

>>375366275

So what? 24/7 threads for the past week after a major update dropped doesn't constitute a 'general'.

That's not what generals are for.

why am i such shit at this game? could i be that i need to manually control my ship until i get a more competent fleet?

the game is fun as all hell and it's really comfy once you finally start to pick up pace

>>375357502

They're like the Diktat that have mixed tech but I feel SD are more settled in the middle while Persean League will have everything from (D) frigates to high tech capitals. I think it helps to have a bunch of united military markets.

In another save I've bought a bundle of carrier capitals from them because pop 6 and 7 military markets are amazing for those. I swear in the time it would take for me to find 1 Astral from the Tri-Tachs I could buy 4 from the Perseans.

>>375367573
Are any of the middle-tech ships even good? Also can't you just get them all from pirates anyway?

>>375368331

>how can you make a fortune in a extremely short period of time
scavenge for AI cores, sell them to tri-tachyon station commanders

>>375369148
wut?

>>375368654
Middle epoch tends to be pretty solid but not excel in anything. They're good at bolstering the size of your fleet since they can fit into almost any fleet or role

>>375368607
The population is under market condition while stability is on the left side where its easiest to see. I think a lot of markets are pretty low stability, makes sense.

>>375368654
You can get just about anything from pirates, but yeah most low to mid tech ships are pirate. There are pirate bounties where you can find a fleet of high-tech ships if you get a desertion one from Tri-Tachyon.

Mid-tech ships are alright, they have a good mix of ballistic and energy slots. My favorites are the Brawler, Drover and Sunder.

>>375369393
I'm saying put swarmers at the front of the gryphon you dumb dumb

Is there anyway to prop up stability?

>>375369539
Cyclone Reaper if you want to murder destroyers and up. MIRV to be annoying as shit and be a constant threat to anything. The kinetic one if you want a fire support I guess

>>375369667
>when pd/fighters shoot down your single mirv warhead before it separates making you lose all your missiles
and this is why i stick to harpoons, or if in a large weapon slot, squalls

>>375370124
Oh shit, I forgot about fighters shooting down missiles now.

>>375369603
I wish I knew how if there was a way. I'm left to believe it is a placeholder of the current condition of that shithole of an outpost or planet and the only thing you can do is make it worse for awhile.

Maybe when Industry is finished and we get Outposts we'll see markets grow and expand across the sector. I'd like open my own little trading outpost where I store all the crap I find and don't need then set-up my own tariffs.

>No threads up

We pretty much have had a thread up 24/7 since the update

Thank goodness it wasn't another false flap OP, but ai bet that sinhe autistic faggit will try to pull that shit again as soon as this thread archives. Or some newfag be a retard, whatever it is.

If only tinfoil did something about salty shitposters on /v/.

>>375373174

>>375373174
I put 2 of them on Astrals to soften up shields for the 4 bomber wings that follow. First run didn't kill? Recall teleport everything and send the next wave almost immediately. I also have a Longbow in a lot of my 2-3 fighter bay carriers since my old save's fleet is nothing but carriers. Makes short work of wAIfu battlestations.

They're still underwhelming and I'd like it if they were a little faster and had either Expanded Missile Racks or 3 fighters per wing.

>tfw you run into your own pirahna's bombs

Has anyone found success with claws? In theory a wing of them and Gladius should royally fuck things up.

>>375373894
In theory you can run an all Cerberus fleet. I always assumed shielded ships prioritize hauling contraband though.

what do talons suck at? I'm having fun in the early game in my drover and they're chewing up the smaller ships however... I feel as soon as I hit something bigger my crew count is going to plummet

The crack isn't doing anything for me. I double click it and nothing happens. Yes I have Java7.

The garbage that actually belongs on /vg/ are all the platform/fanboy spam threads and the braindead "now that the dust has settled..." type of threads that make up 85% of /v/ at this point. If there's a starsector thread up 24/7 in a month, THEN /vg/ would be an option. These threads are already about to disappear though since the veterans are already done with vanilla again and people are waiting for proper mod support to be implemented (again). I don't know what the fuck the developer is doing though, surely he is aware of how important the mods are yet this happens and no hotfix in sight. Hopefully he didn't paint himself into a corner with some awful programming or something.

>>375375021
>Hopefully he didn't paint himself into a corner with some awful programming or something.
Hes trying to get his own game running, mods are not a major concern

how's the ironclad mod?

>>375376282

Red sector?

And I just salvaged an aurora from a massive pilot fleet that jumped me. Barely survived, but they eventually retreated and I was able to salvage it.

How do you guys build your enforcers? If I try to put 5 medium ballistics on it it generates way too much flux.
No Safety Override pls

>>375377169
Red Warning Beacons maybe?

Suggestions for equipping an aurora? Just got my hands on one.

>>375377267
I put 2 Flak, 2 HVD, 1 Mauler for ballistics on my Enforcers. It still generates more flux than it can dissipate but if I was worried about that I'd use only 2 HVD or HVD + Mauler and the rest be Point Defense like Flak or HMG.

Like the Eagle it has a lot of nice weapon mounts but it doesn't have the flux stats to support it.

HOW DO I CIRCUMVENT ANTI-PIRACY RNG

>>375377837
doesn't exist probably

>>375377169
Er, red beacon, sorry. Nice, the aurora is a really great flag ships, if you prefer smaller fleets and/or ships it's a fantastic mid line ship as well.

>>375377837
You buy the game.

>>375377781
>Like the Eagle it has a lot of nice weapon mounts but it doesn't have the flux stats to support it.
This, if you want an enforcer that can deal with a prolonged engagement you can still put small weapons on medium mounts.

>>375377934
It exist, you have more odds of finding fucking huge ass fleet that can fuck your shit up.

>>375378215
That's literally Starsector in a nutshell.

>>375377934
>>375378215
It has something to do with NPC fleet scale. Some variable is set way higher to make them more larger and more frequent far as I can tell. Did some testing with full version and pirated and it looks that way.

>>375377781
I find the eagle to be way more forgiving fitting wise as long as you throw on the 3 grav beams and don't go crazy with blasters or something. Can't even properly fit and fly the enforcer with maxed combat/fitting skills but i guess that's acceptable since it's babbys first destroyer.

no steam no buy

Does this game have (or is ever planning to have) objectives other than self-imposed stuff?

>>375378969
It has trade/salvage/survery/bounty missions but they're for the same end goal, get a more badass fleet. I don't think there will be a "story mode" or anything like that.

>>375379072
but it does, that's how i did it cuz the original place looks sketch af

Did anyone have this issue when trying to run the crack:

>>375378881
imagine being so far up gabe's ass you cant even function without his dirty touch present on everything you cough up coins for

>>375378969
Rumored that in the future factions you have commissions with will give you specific orders to take part in invasions and defense groups along with other minor orders IE patrol and assist fleet orders.

I've been ramming frigates and destroyers into my fleet with my tempest, its amazing. Are there any other ships in general that are good at "pushing" other ships? Ship class doesnt matter, its just fun af to do.

Honestly the "Freighter" option should just be a Mule. You'll still get blown the fuck out by things that the Wolf can take on but at least it wouldn't be as painful as the Wayfarer.

>>375386226
It's all the clunkiness of the Centurion with none of the durability. You can kinda do something with the stock wayfarer if you turn about 45 degrees to the left of your target so that you can bring your light assault gun, light autocannon and ion cannon to bear.

This is how you REALLY start a new game.

I have never in my LIFE seen the Converted Hanger hullmod

Where does it usually appear at?

>>375388138
I thought it came with specific ship variants and wasn't a simple hullmod.

>>375388138
Randomly. I got it in the first 15 minutes of a new game, but in the last game only when I was level 30. Good on mules if you want them to be carriers, as they have some long-range support mounts already.

needs more missiles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNcyzVTVMT4

>>375388395
Mules are horribly uneconomical

>>375388821
That's why you deploy them in combat dummy.

>>375388821
Mules are easily acquired from pirate fleets though. It's not like you'll find your first Gemini or that big thing on day 1.

>>375388892
Gemini is worse than a Mule though.

>>375388925
Gemini has the best carrier ability along with drover, 2 medium ballistic hardpoints for great PD or fire support, and 300 cargo to go with it.

>>375369603
I think satisfying their imports and exports does that.

Otherwise it's just events.

>>375389000
And it's worse than a Mule.

I found a derelict Luddic Path Lasher in hyperspace and it let me restore the hull for zero credits, getting rid of every modifer (even the "ill-advised modifications") except safety overrides.

Huh.

>>375389040
Let's see what your mule says when bomber torpedos hit his tailpipe.

>>375389158
Nothing, Mule is equipped with an omni shield.

>>375389103

Probably a bug or something.

>>375389207
Good thing there are 3-6 bombers due to Reserve Deployment.

Is this game like a spiritual sequel to SPAZ?

>>375389301
Still nothing happens because it's a destroyer grade shield and torpedoes do 50% to shields.

They serve a different purpose but I strongly feel that the Mule is a more capable combat freighter. It puts a real destroyer body on the front-lines that has enough presence to scare off frigates. I feel like that's a much more important addition to your fleet than a slow PD platform with a single fighter bay.

Does anybody actually get any good use out of D-modded ships? They seem just to be too shit at anything, their enormous sensor profile is disgusting and as well as that they all practically come guaranteed with degraded engines which means -1 burn speed.

>>375390225
You mean ships that was wrecked e, or the ones that existed in 0.7.2 that got directly moved over?

>>375390308

Wrecked and salvaged ships

1. Are marines completely without purpose now?

2. Where are all the pirates and huge battles between factions?

3. Where are my fucking outposts?

4. What's going to be in 8.1?

5. What's the best ship you recovered so far? I found a derelict Hyperion ~30 LY and I could kill almost any fleet with it if it wasn't for the low operating time.

It's 20% per (d) mod and it applies to monthly maintenance cost as well as deployment recovery cost. But you're right, the ship still costs the same amount of points to deploy.

No. That is unprofitable. Selling ships give you hundred~thousand credits, better worth just using them as meat shields or just not recovering them at all.

Fighters are pretty good at dealing with them, since they move really fast and come in packs.

Frigates with speed boosts can chase them down, their sustained mobility isn't great. Lasher with Safety Overrides used to be great against them, but I haven't tried it this patch.

Higher tier ships can outrange them, and wolves cannot trade hits. Unless your guns and shield are front-mounted, wolves should be little threat against cruisers or capitals, and they suffer even just fighting destroyers.

>>375398570

>>375398778
>Lasher with Safety Overrides used to be great against them, but I haven't tried it this patch.

Lashers with regular Unstable Injection are pretty good at staying on top of them provided the Wolf doesn't have the same upgrade.

Wolfs are frightfully fragile, once they've expended those 3 skims they are pretty much fucked if something is laying shots on them.

Is Maneuverability basically turnrate?

any sector age on generation gives more direlicts?

>>375388472
I'd just like to say Fuck you to whoever made that video because I've had this song stuck in my head for three days now and I can't for the life of me find a sauce on it.

I even went through a list of "music used in allah akbar meme videos" trying to find it to no avail.

>>375399056
I mentioned Safety Overrides because Lasher really gets a ton of benefit out of the increased flux dissipation.

Popping 2x firerate with high damage weapons will melt many destroyers if you can stand the flux buildup.

>>375399194
max turnrate, acceleration/deceleration, turn acceleration/deceleration are the 4 stats that determines ship maneuverability, and if the game says" maneuverability" then it probably means all of these

>>375399449

The CR reduction with safety override is far too hefty for Lashers I find. Not only that but you're reducing the Lashers strength against the Wolf by giving it Safety Override: Wolfs have less peak time than Lashers because they're a techno ship.

I've had a few long fights that I was watching with a coffee as a Wolf slowly puttered to a stop from various malfunctions and my still peak-timing Lasher came in and nailed it.

It's why I always roll with hardened subsystems for extended CR.

>>375399647

>acceleration/deceleration

That seems to be a separate stat. It would appear that ships speed is divided into Top Speed, Maneuverability and Acceleration.

>officers can't have skills that affect the whole fleet
nooo... noooOOOOO

>>375399763
yeah hence 4 stats, sorry worded it badly, turn accel/decel is the same stat, accel/decel are separate

You clearly just didn't have enough beam weapons.

>>375399940
You'll be fine that fleet should be piss easy for yours.

>>375396469
Both are god-tier

>>375399681
Hardened subsystems works best on a frigate that you can effectively solo-dogfight as many enemies as possible, allowing you to drain the CR of all of them before bringing in your cleanup crew to handle the malfunctioning ships.

For me, this was always a centurion with hardened front shields and as many caps as possible, plus a couple of railguns for popping fighters and the occasional hound or mudskipper.

It meant dancing around for six minutes at a time every major fight, and that was just a shitty way to play.

>>375400119
Not when your Hammerhead has Thumpers instead of good weapons.

>>375400401
Eww thumpers.

>>375399681
When fighting wolves I'm more fond of hunting them down very aggressively.

If you don't pressure them hard they tend to keep being annoying for a long time, but if you can exhaust their jumps and keep the pressure up they almost always fold in short order.

Plus, Lashers aren't just for fighting wolves. Safety Overrides will give a lot more benefit against other targets.

>>375400401

You have a wing of talons. Use them to kill the 3 frigates/buffalo and then you only have to beat a Sunder/Eagle.

Which you can use the talons for again.

Aren't broadswords a waste? I thought they were only useful if you combine a single wing of broadswords with bombers.

Lashers work extremely well with salamander missiles and because of their rapid-shooting ability once they're ontop of the Wolf it's practically their victory.
