What kind of freighter are you looking for? Fast or decent capacity? Buffalos and Mules aren't a bad way to go if you're looking to move up in the world. The Colossus is probably the most efficient freighter in the game if you're a minmaxer.

I really wish in the over world map that you could communicate with other non-enemy fleets. Like, stop running after the single shuttle and come and try to take on the armada, together we can fight it off. Or, being able to ask for assistance in taking out a fleet (i.e. follow me and engage with me), how it is right now seems basically random if a nearby ally fleet will join you or not in battle.

>>180613410
Yup. They can't be in the middle of anything either, so if your faction's entire invasion fleet decides to go off and chase a tiny Pirate scouting fleet, tough luck.

If you do a free start with no homeworld in Nex, do other factions still try to sabotage your relations? I tried a start with a home world, and Blackrock went and made three factions hostile to me for god knows what reason.

>>180644445
>"There is no such thing as too much firepow... Oh shit I overloaded!"

>>180645356

no, ion beam does 50 energy damage at 25% efficiency. pulser 150 at 75%, which is pretty ok considering how much EMP you get on top.

but what the beam does do is arc like a motherfucker. so if you have even a little hard flux your shit starts shutting down. if you're on high hard flux even your engines can be in trouble.

>Imperium got defeated too

>>180646138

the (heavy) akers are kinetic cannons from a mod (prv starworks). compared to hac they have worse range but better accuracy and some emp damage.

on that falcon this is a good trade since you want to be within phase beam range anyway.

hac are Heavy Autocannons, standard kinetic guns. good range, poor accuracy. solid performers overall.

hvd are Hypervelocity Drivers, long ranged kinetic guns with kinda poor DPS but great per-hit damage.

harps are Harpoons, standard explosive missiles. Atropos are basically harpoons but a little bigger.

>>180646451
Imperium is balanced then.

>>180649198
Also you never need more than 4 since the way salvaging works, they only give a bonus based on the % difficulty. Each rig gives 25% extra, and the highest salvage difficulty is 100% (motherships and research stations)

Vanilla is obviously balanced.
Derelicts are vanilla, they were defeated by vanilla ships, this means vanilla is balanced.
On the other hand, derelicts are vanilla, they were defeated by mod factions, this means the mod faction is a unbalanced piece of overpowered shit that should be removed from the forum and the creator permanently banned.

One battle wouldn't be enough to determine that though, if they won and lost against Vanilla roughly an equal amount of time then that's a good sign of balance. The Derelicts aren't a good indicator of balance either since fighting anything without shields is a cakewalk with the right loadout. Throwing them together with randomized loadouts/ship composition with roughly the same amount of OP or credit cost would work better.

>>180655776
He's not using a 5 thumper SO+UI memeforcer and is clearly new so he should probably give thumpers a pass until he decides to give the meta a try. In basically any other situation thumpers are garbage. II Hailfires are better for that anyway if he's willing to mod.

>>180656016
>He's not using a 5 thumper SO+UI memeforcer and is clearly new so he should probably give thumpers a pass until he decides to give the meta a try

he certainly needs more than a single thumper to take down shields, but they're perfectly fine weapons these days.

and it's perfectly fine to splash in a thumper here or there, there's no particular need to go all-in on them

Well you are picking them up from free so any credits are good credits! But generally I fly to the highest stability market I know of and then sell them on the black market before legging it out of the system.

Some weapons I keep but stuff like pulse lasers can go.

WRONG.
Winning even once is a clear and blatant sign of OPness

Fuck black holes, I went near one and couldn't get out + didn't save, didn't have cr to burn. Gg please nerf, alex

Not gonna lie, taking bizamtium in nex was fun

the suicide charge against nova capitalism was one hell of a fight. A mirv missile attackis not only pretty to look at but a big reason to panic, and the artillery platforms look great

I'll take on Diable and remove sindians because then call this campaign over. let' see the other factions on different set ups

Are the Diable ships any decent?

They don't feel like much of a threat unless they catch you off guard with a missile salvo or flank your rear with some wanzers. Most of their main weapons feels pretty underwhelming or turrets have positions too awkward to get proper firepower out on the board and it feels like all their ships are limited to support only roles. The micro missile spam is pretty cool looking but just like their main weapons vanilla seems to do a better job at every corner anyways. On the other hand wanzers actually feel pretty great, like little micro frigates, but they're fragile and need a lot of support or escorts to stay in the fight. It's weird like diable ships rely on the wanzers for most of their firepower and combat ability, but of course when they get downed your ships are virtually sitting ducks.

I don't know, I don't really understand how you're supposed to use or take advantage of them properly. Any suggestions?

>>180673448
They got fucked by Derelicts, they are balanced. Nuff said

>>180673604
Isn't there a tournament-specific patch that attempts to bring down the power level of all mods being used?

>>180673736
I don't think so.

>>180673736

no, a few of the mods involved just decided to push out some balance adjustments before it got going

>>180673604
So they're supposed to be terrible? I'm not looking for some ebin broken combo, just a competitive fleet. It's just weird that these fancy, brand new looking ships aren't much better than pirate fleets with 3 D-mods etc.

>>180675264
>It's just weird that these fancy, brand new looking ships aren't much better than pirate fleets with 3 D-mods etc.
It just means they are balanced.
If you want overpowered shit then may i point you to Green Knight Security or Dassault Mykonian?

Diable is fine if you get creative and mix up the weapon loadouts. Maelstrom is one of the better capitals in the game. You will never lose a flux war with this kind of loadout.

lol if your maelstrom doesn't mount a high-intensity laser

0/10 OP bullshit

DR if you're here, i suggest removing all weapons from KT and instead make multiple version of the ships with built-in weapons only for the purpose of prohibiting the player from having access to OP crap.
Also salvage accessibility set to 0 all across the board.

>>180675383
Think you might had been missing the point. Like Tri-tech ships are brand new and definitely out perform pirates, would that mean Tri-tech ships unbalanced? No, because even though they perform like an entire ship class higher, they're more expensive to spot to compensate for that. My point was that the DA ships felt like they under performed given how much they cost to deploy and that they looked relatively new like the Tri-tech ships. I don't know the lore so if they're supposed to be junky ships like pirate material then that's fine, I just expected them to perform on par with their cost compared to other ships given their techy abilities, hullmods and looks and I was wondering If i was just using them poorly or something.

>>180676450
I honestly never use the KT weapons they use way to much OP to put on pretty much any thing but the largest ships
They also look awful as fuck on any thing other then KT ships

>>180676450
Why not make it so the player can't buy anything other than hounds while we're at it, don't want them getting their hands on anything more powerful as they progress.

missiles own. fire 'em early, fire 'em often.

>>180677001
Without using weapons/fighters that aren't from the mod, DA ships are really good at alpha strikes and rely a lot on wanzer support if you really want them to shine.

>>180677001

DA are not magic-tier, they're closer to midline-painted-red.

they're a little tricky to use and fit though and when you fuck it up they go down bad since the shields are so small.

>>180677001
>Think you might had been missing the point. Like Tri-tech ships are brand new and definitely out perform pirates, would that mean Tri-tech ships unbalanced?
Tri tach is vanilla, vanilla cannot be unbalanced.
Mods can be unbalanced though, and the first sign of unbalance is that they can defeat vanilla in a fight

>>180677027
If i knew how to i'd make a mod for that.

Balance is a meme

I throw some in here and there, the Crucifix MRMs are great, same with the Joyeuse but the other weapons aren't really worth it in most cases.

I did what you did and it worked.

Is there a free download anywhere? I'm interested, but I have basically zero money, and as much as I don't really feel great pirating something I'd like to make sure I'd enjoy it this time. Early Access stuff has burned me too many times.

>>180680170
yea there is free

>>180680504
Would you be able to provide some direction? I've checked around in a few sites, and the typical ones either don't have it, went down, or are currently under watch/investigation.

>>180680694
You can DL it for free here
http://fractalsoftworks.com/preorder/

>>180680170
you can download it, but you will have to enter a code
I don't know what the other anon is talking about, but if you want it for free you're going to have to edit files and shit

>>180680694
the igg games site seems fine
If you want to look through archives of this thread you'll see a mega link to it or the crack

I'm sure that the message it shows is just to make you scared

>>180681187
It is, but the RNG knows.

>>180676125
Even the Maelstrom's default loadout can edge out a lot of other capitals in an AI to AI fight. So far I've only found the Mother to be a worse missile nightmare.

>>180673604
But there are two Diable fleets in the Tournament. One got defeated, but the other soundly won against those Derelicts. What does it means then?

>>180682746
Then Diable is now unbalanced bullshit

>>180682746
one is friggin terrible lol

>>180682746
i don't know,what could POSSIBLY cause two different fleets to perform differently? surely this game has no possible way for two fleets belonging to a faction to have differing strength in different situations!

what did the losing diable fleet screw up? i only remember the one that was a crushing victory with wanzers and a haze shitting all over everything

>>180683451
That was sarcasm.

>>180683071
It gets funnier when you realize that next round that fleet is facing a low tech fleet with SO Mora, SO Lashers and SO Hound... Without any HE weapons.
