Is there any way to get the random world bounties to scale back down? Most are rather out of my league or would be Pyrrhic victories.

OK. I surrender. What do I have to change in the config to limit the number of enemy officers?

also not to necessarily defend the current officer-based deployment limit system, but: there is an in-game solution that makes fights against bullshit endgame fleets much more manageable. put ECM systems on your ships. being outnumbered is a non-issue with good fittings and good piloting from the player, the problem, and the thing that makes those fights miserable, is being outranged

Right, and being outranged was the thing that made me ask. Being outnumbered has always been an interesting challenge, and one I've become used to j previous versions. The in-game solutions to ECM really force me to play in ways I dislike - either all super fast ships that can close to any range, or all ECM ships which can frequently compromise either their intended function or my story point reserves. I'd much rather just tweak a number and get on with my game, but I'm not sure which one. Just get the game to declare a truce - standard max officer on each side. They could even have 1.5x if it helps balance. Just not the current mess.

Vengarr posted:Amy tips for running a phase-heavy fleet? It runs counter to my usual instincts of throwing armored rocks/hordes of bombers at every and any problem. The phase corps skill encourages still keeping mostly regular warships with just a handful of phase ships. In my .95 run I kept it at 3, one for myself and then two officers. Short range weapons with high burst damage like the anitmatter blaster and phase lance are ideal weapons. Hardened subsystems, heavy armor, and resistant flux conduits are always good hullmod choices. Aside from the two phase-specific skills, energy weapon mastery and systems expertise are very strong picks.

The Phase Corps skill is already really underwhelming even on its own merits, and then on top of that it's opposite a) one of the best skills in the game and b) one that gives an extremely similar benefit but without the stupidly low limit and also everyone in the fleet gets it.

any must have mods for the newest patch for a brand new player? I've owned this for a million years and every time there is a new patch I say 'oh next big patch I'll get into it..." but I feel like now the time has finally arrived.

At least in my opinion the speed of your fleet is always the way to go because they can choose engagements. Having a fleet that is mostly slow is just not worth it at all. You either need range or speed, at least in my opinion. Ideal is both.

Notable inclusions seem to be "officerAIMax", which defaults to 10 (The max number a player can have with a particular skill). The problem seems to come from the bit about mercs, which i'll just copy/paste here code:

Pleasing that the variables were left exposed like that, means that a bit of trial and error should sort it out.

The question is redundant because your course of action should always be: i) make money killing pirates ii) set up colonies so you don't need money iii) befriend pirates iv) sell all spare blueprints to pirates v) cackle as super-pirates chain-raid the assholes who have been sending expeditions against you since ii).

Is there any benefit to partially fufilling your own colony's demands? If my colonies all want 4-5 fuel and I'm only producing 2, does that still lower import expenses?

Tuxedo Catfish posted:So there should be 13 new weapons introduced in 0.95a. Did you find the container in the alpha-site? It has a few of those and it's fairly out of the way for some weird reason (it's roughly north-east of the planet). Also for those running with mods, prism freeport occasionally sells that stuff for now, however be prepared to pay 2 mil credits for some of them.  edit: Just found out that IBBs at the moment also spawn with a large fleet rather than just the targets + a couple other ships. Having Francis Buttler be a challenge for my 4 cruiser fleet wasn't something I was expecting. Falcorum fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Apr 9, 2021 |

I suddenly have the urge to set my current game aside for a bit and play a game where I only use Lowtech family ships, or maybe Midline. Probably Lowtech though.

I'd always suggest restored Luddic Path ships for an initial foray into lowtech. They're good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsIfsEh72aw e: I've never done anything like the video above, but I've absolutely annihilated Remnant fleets with just swarms of LP Cerberus ships backed by a few LP Brawlers. And that's BEFORE the ridiculously powerful frigate boosting skills and inbuilt hullmods that you can do in this version. my dad fucked around with this message at 10:23 on Apr 9, 2021 |

Mondian posted:drat, you're right. Don't suppose you know of a secret brdy beta somewhere too? Sadly, no. It'd be on discord if anywhere. Also yeah officers deciding your deployment points seems like an unusual mistake from Alex and co. I'm sick of having minimum points against a raiding fleet of destroyers and frigates because they get to jam 30 loving officers in their fleet. It'd be nice if the AI actually respected new game rules instead of cheating.

They are probably going to fix it at some point, or moders will. Right now the fix is to have a few hyperions to blitz the cap points so you can field more ships.

Or kill a staggering amount of ships with your Paragon or Caliph, even. I can't field more than 160 points because the enemy has 20 loving lashers with officers? Whatever.

the fix is to go into settings.json and raise the officer cap for yourself and the AI to 30 and disable the AI from going over it

That's what a frigate gets for getting in the way of a capital. Don't get in the way of guns that are bigger than your ship. Though I just had an Aurora push my overloaded Paragon into the enemy lines when I was trying to back off. Sometimes the enemy MVP is your fleets AI.
