The only problem with those ships is having to resist the urge to slam them into my fleet irrelevant of what type of fleet I'm using.

I have that issue with Phocas. 15 DP for AAF and 4 medium ballistics? I'm not sure how many Phocas is too many Phocas but I've not found it yet.

One thing I don't like about the hmi and Magellan mods are the super sweet derelicts in predefined spots. The Mallory cruiser in Magellan and in HMI all the midtech ships that are upgraded to high tech are too tempting to not pick up once I get out to those systems. I'd rather they be seeded in random systems.

Not that it really matters either way because tahlan derelicts are all randomly placed/salvageable save for the halbmond and traum kinda so your chances of running into one and having Your Immersion Ruined is pretty low.

Immersion? gently caress that, put in the matching plasma cannons on the AdMech Providence and show the Hegemony. what is proper firepower. As for the weirdness on if those ships are actually manually placed, found out what is actually happening. According to tahlan_DerelictsSpawnScript.java, the AdMech ships, and a few other unique ships that are neither the Halbmond nor the [database_error] ships are all set to be manually placed, but each of them has a 60% chance of actually being spawned. Except for the Traumtanzer, which always spawns. So yeah, intentionally placed but not always placed. And the comments say that a mere chance of spawning is because of forced recovery through Story Points.

There's consistent derelicts everywhere from pretty much any faction mod. You can go from a shuttle to a complete grand fleet with one trip to a pulsar in the core.

Yeah that is kinda lame. I know at least one mod locks them behind an encounter but I wish more would do that, at least then it's more gated and you feel like you deserve it instead of just passing it by while buying supplies in the core.

HMI has some pretty decent gimmicks & plenty of armour tank type shenanigans. VIC are also pretty fun, One of their frigates is honestly a ton of fun (cant recall name of it). Weapons are fun, before it got nerfed the Large slot railgun VIC got used to pretty much delete anything you shot with it.

They're pretty useless on their own. Build for as much burst damage as you can do and try not to stray from your fleet. Even minor frigates can ruin your day if they harass you until you're dead in the water and flux out. Capacitors are probably more important so you can do your thing and move away to a safe place to vent. With the right build they can do some disgusting things but they're incredibly fragile.

I'm also bad at phase ships but my 2 cents The 'assassin' playstyle of deleting high value target is really fun but 1) don't get too far from your battle lines. You need the pressure of other ships; someone has to keep their shields occupied so you can get your AM blasters up in dat rear end 2) Being an annoyance who peels off defenders in a wild goose chase is valuable in its own right. Don't let thirst for those sweet sweet killshots lure you into overextending. When you gently caress up and get in over your head in a phase ship, you gently caress up HARD*. Discretion is the better part of valor. *Doom can take a couple on the chin but good Doom piloting is galaxy brain dark wizardy

Phase ships need to be flown like superfrigates pretty much. You have insane mobility and firepower but you'll die if anyone even sneezes at you. I'm pretty good at flying them but I still generally leave them to the AI unless I have a goofy mod ship like the Sierra or a Doom or Zigg or something. They're almost always going to die in any protracted battle, especially after the speed nerfs.

I love how SP is implemented. It makes it so you earn them regularly, even at max level, so you're actually encouraged to use them instead of letting them sit until the end of the game, collecting dust.

I still hoard them like a moron though and barely use them until I've already completed the current storyline. Giving bonus XP to earn them back if you use them is pretty clever though so it's definitely wiser to use them regularly.

It’s easy to drop a bunch on colonies, so I save up some to do that. Might as well get the accessibility/growth bonuses from the start. I always mentor my officers. If my flagship and most of my officered ships don’t have as many S-mods as I can fit on it, I’m either in dire straights or trying something weird. Atlas/Prometheus also get modded to the gills when I first get a fleet large enough to tote them around.

On atlas/Prometheus/transport (the stealth transport) I do a mix of: Sensors or Survey equipment Effiency overhaul Militarized subsystems Expanded cargo/fuel/berths Insulated engine 3 as SP and two as hullmods 3 atlas, 1 Prometheus, 1 transport, 2 salvage, 1 tug. The rest are combat ships and Ive been leaning pretty hard toward more cruisers and less capital ships. Also I got this sweet ship from legacy of ark Genesis called The lancer. Are there any more like it? It has pretty crazy stats and unlocked some funny guns for me to build with.

Combat ship cap? I can only have 30 ships in my fleet before I start paying extra in supplies. Do civilian hulls not count to that limit? That makes me appreciate venture cruisers even more.

Yeah there are several skills that affect either combat or civilian ships, and generally you don't want ships you aren't using in combat to count as combat ships, and also the civvy skills make non-militarized ships faster, which is how you get a burn speed 11 atlas mk2. Very helpful for the mega logistics ships that are very slow otherwise.

i use minimal preparation from scy when i get it. way better than efficiency overhaul also if I can get them, I prefer to run revenants only and no other logistics ships. I never do giant fleets to begin with and all I do pretty much is exploration, bounties and occasionally trade once I'm done doing those things so I don't need to carry around 30,000 supplies for my ginormo fleet or whatever. I like to keep it under ~9s/d at most.
