>>140382096

Man, I hope Seeker comes out. Tartiflettes quality of work is supreme. SCY is one of my favorite mods. They're not OP at all, but they have some real gems in their ship lines. His art is top notch.

Use the vanilla emp blaster. 5 op, average EMP damage that will disable most frigates with it's shields down in a couple of shots. Short range though.

>>140387382

I didn't like their sprites, but the more I look at them I'm starting to get used to them.

Not sure what their sounds are like because I haven't actually played them yet. Waiting for a version that doesn't require SS+ that I can use with Dynasector. SS+ is going away for good, so I might as well just start getting used to it.

Since you are new to 4chan, I'll give you a scientifically calculated graph on level of shitposting versus number of posts on an imageboard. As you can see, early in a shitposting career, anons make the mistake of trying too hard to make the person they're replying to look like a doo doo head. Over time, their shitposting level levels out, note that it doesn't return to baseline levels that you would see from someone who just arrived from groupthink shit tier forums, but rather a more refined and balanced level of shitposting.

Twin Core-0 Cannons followed up by a massive barrage of laser/ballistic tech.

>>140390932

I think this is the most awesome post I've seen on a /vg/ thread ever.

>>140398074
No industry unfortunately.

>>140396832
I love it as a early/mid game flagship, though it's not as good as other ships in it's price range if you're not flying it yourself because AI is not very good with missiles that require timing and ignores autofire settings.
I had best results with this loadout:
>1x light needler, 1x heavy needler (but you can use any kinetic weapons, really)
>1x Locust SRM (lots of small HE missiles)
>2x Sabot MRM Pod (6 powerful kinetic missiles in one salve)
>3x Rage SRM (low-ish HE damage, some tracking, extreme speed)
>4x PD of choice (Shredders for me)

Locust on autofire obliterates fighter/bomber wings and together with kinetic weapons does the same to frigates and even destroyers given a few salvos.
6 Sabot missiles in one salvo instagibs any frigate it hits, destroys most of destroyers,overloads and cripples larger ships.
6 Rage missiles in one salvo for those enemy ships that think they can safely vent when under protection of friendly PD. Can also be effectively used on shielded frigates if you need to thin out enemy forces quickly.

The only thing this ship has trouble with are heavily armoured targets, though you can still kill those by thousand cuts since with missile specialization, expanded missile racks and missile autoforge you have pretty much infinite ordnance.

>>140398853
Interesting.
Personally I like kitting out a bunch of carriers and spend a lot of money on fighter wing and a couple destroyers and frigates to protect the carriers.

Is there anything other than a brawler that the ai is competent at piloting?

>>140398334

It'll come eventually. I got the original one with just the missions. It takes the dev a long god damn time to update but he makes everything preeeetty polished.

>>140367262

Hyperion is my waifu. I picture her as a tiny azn chick with mad ninja skills. Once I have it in my fleet never fly anything else.

Her favorite fetish: whipping other ships behinds with dual heavy blasters.

>>140400076
Oh yes, my friend! AI is good at piloting anything that doesn't have burn drive (or similar ability), has powerful shields, high flux capacity and lots of PD!

>>140403756

You let your Nevermore get shrek'd by just 4 clarents? Was your flux already high or something?

there's no reason to overload from 4 clarents anyway, just take the damage instead, it wont kill

>>140417124
I kinda want a space towelhead faction. Place them on the opposite end of the sector to Antioch, make them vengeful with Templars and hostile to everyone else.

I don't know if they should get alien tech like KT, shit would be horrifying but it would make them a step up from the Path.

>>140418507

Luddic Path is basically space towelheads.

Hyper dogmatic, reject advanced technology, interpret the rules according to their own immediate needs, and are pretty much a sanctioned extremist militant arm of a larger theocratic organization that claims to be peaceful.

They just need some better unique variants, like snackbar battle busses. Massive crews, low cost of upkeep and CR recovery, shitloads of guns, lots of questionably effective armor, unguided rocket spam, etc.

>>140421076
Personally I just want more paint jobs.

>start with pirate faction

>>140424113
Did you turn your transponder off and buy shit from a pirate black market? I'm sure the local pirate boss got pissed at you dodging his tariff.
He needs that money in exchange for protecting the market you decided to fuck around in.
Now be a good little pirate and go cause shenanigans in other markets.

>>140424113
>smuggling goods into a market for smugglers

not meta enough

>smuggling reduces stability
>low stability means low prices
>this is somehow a bad thing

Why would a faction want to get tariffs when they pay that much more when they buy their ships and weapons at 400% of the lowest price?

>>140446142
Phase ships are shit 1v1 if the enemy ship has an omni shield. All they can really do is stall until they run out of CR. They would be good in bigger battles, though.

Which, again, is why this game isn't an arena combat game, if it was, a LOT of shit would have to be different.

Guns are not worth much actually, barely more than heavy machinery on most worlds. Drugs and organs are the real deal.

Little known fact - if you are friendly with a faction, you can sell illegal goods at military markets with no diplo penalties. Only found this out a long time after I had mined Nortia for a while and kept lowering stability there, consequently lowering my profits.

Think I'm gonna go back to SS+ until it breaks for good. Or at least until DynaSector gets a bit more stable/has more features. I'm feeling the hurt playing DynaSector without those leadership skills.

>>140489190
It probably won't get any new feature, this is not SS+ with a new name. New modders will have to come forth and create their own mods forked out of SS+ public repo because DR is mostly done with modding except maintaining Templars, II, plus helping with BRDY, THI and Exigency (and that is already a massive amount of stuff to do).

Yea but she never before had a fucking Paragon on her fleet with clarent missiles.

>>140476251
Early-game gun missions are some of the best and easiest contracts in all but the most recent SS+ releases.
It was, without fail, the top way I made my starting money before updating to the "no Freeport contracts in Freeport" version.

>>140492589
The thing that annoy me the most about fighters is that it takes forever to plow through all their replacement chassis. A Heron with 4 wings of Talons will take around 5 minutes just to rebuilt every single fighters. For the whole time it won't be a serious menace but it just won't retreat or come anywhere close to your ships.

Appreciated, my fellow mujhadeen!

I really don't like how it costs supplies to put ships you were just fighting into a pursuit battle. I would get it if you put in a ship that wasn't in the original fight, but aren't pursuits just extensions of the battle you just were fighting? Why would I have to use more supplies?

Templar weapons are great if you can balance their flux cost. They definitely work best on Templar ships, but you can use them to great effect on other fits if you account for the flux.

Imperium ships are as a rule pretty balanced, but like anon mentioned every faction has at least one OP ship, and general an OP weapon or two.

Fuck it, started a new run.
Cute Dong metalworker setting off on a quest to find the biggest, baddest, toughest, most dead 'ard ship she can find, and conquer a few worlds with it.
What's a good (maybe humble) Dong ship to start with?

Tiandong updated.

>>140561361
Not yet it hasn't.

Live... LIIIVE!!

SS+ updated. It's now compatible with all the new mods (SWP, GraphicsLib, etc.)

>>140554150
Their Eagle variant, or the missile boat cruiser with the 4 medium slots are solid, in my opinion.

>>140565820
SWP?

Oh hey, didn't realize there was also a new version of Project Ironclads out.

Okim is a madman.

There's also one with two large kinetic points on it.

And it's a destroyer.

I've put two MJILNORs on it, and it'll murder just about anything that get's close to it. Although it's let down by how god-damned slow it is.

SS+, nexerellin, Steiner updated.

However, this is a key update - if you want to stick with SS 3.4, don't update Nex or Steiner.

What ship has two large missile mounts and maybe a few more small/medium missile mounts
I want to throw as many laser torpedoes at the enemy as possible

>>140574096
Despite always getting rid of PACK 1st, i really like their bombers and that crab like frigate+destroyer.

>>140586690

I have no idea, but the Mayorate have a carrier/cruiser that has a large missile mount on it with 2 small missile mounts.
