cl_gibcount 9999 posted:so i was reminded of this through a Great Thread™ and have decided to buy this now (i loved SPAZ) It'll be a lot easier to get used to the game mechanics with the relatively small set of ships available in the base game. Most of the popular factions add new gimmicks, not to mention a lot more potential parties trying to kill you.

I wish ships in your fleet had a stats page. Even just "ships killed" would be helpful but stuff like "overloads inflicted" or "damage/battle" would be great. I tend to fly out through the middle of the enemy pack as soon as battle starts and its hard to tell which of my ships/loadouts are actually effective as opposed to just not dying unless I follow one around for a few battles.

eXXon posted:Well, until you run into another large fleet full of superior frigates and a cap ship or two. Like a big nasty Tri-Tach detachment if you can find one... Of course I can't now that I have a battleship and a bunch of cruisers. Also loving aggressive officers keep getting their ships destroyed. I have to assign them to Lashers just to minimize the damage they do to my budget. Aggressive officers fly everything about the way a player would fly an enforcer, they're poor choices for anything that can't facetank an enemy fleet for least a little while.

Taerkar posted:I think one thing that needs to be worked on is the issue of self-preservation for the AI. One of the worst decisions IMO regarding the command points is that ordering a ship to retreat costs one. I know there's a mod that helps with this but once a ship starts taking deep armor damage into the hull I tell them to retreat. It'd be better if you could set a "retreat threshold" for each ship so you wouldn't have to manage that as closely to avoid losing ships. Like you could have your tougher ships automatically retreat at 25% hull while your more fragile ones might retreat at 99%, so they start running as soon as a their armor is penetrated. You could get a log message about it like you do with disabled ships, so you can cancel the order if you need them to keep fighting.

The mining drones being locked in on their one fighter bay means they're not really a carrier any more while almost any other cruiser has better weapon options. Ventures suck.

FooF posted:To add to this, Cruisers also have Dedicated Targeting Core (if you don't have Integrated Targeting Core) which adds an additional 35% range to everything, in addition to their inherent range buff by virtue of being a bigger ship. (I can't remember the stats on the inherent range buff 0/10/25/35?) Basically, a Cruiser is going to outrange a Destroyer by at least 10-15% but with DTC or ITC, closer to 50%. Cruisers typically pack about 2-4x the firepower of a Destroyer as well. The Aurora's probably one of the most fun flagships in the game. A safety override Aurora can hit 300 speed with its system on, enemy fleet formations get hosed up by something that fast running rampant with that much firepower.

Mostly tritach, kill some of their patrols and you'll get one eventually. V Turn off your transponder and lurk around the edges of their systems, you can lure in one patrol at a time as they come to yell at you for having it off and then murder them. If they don't know who you are and haven't seen you attack another friendly fleet they won't run away even if their fleet is smaller.

I kind of think the reach mechanic made more intuitive sense, and the problems with the circles on the map could have been helped with some filter options that defaulted to the most relevant info (e.g., only showing reach for the largest market per system).

The new station systems are probably the most complicated part of the new update, but I'm picking the outside bet that the dynamic refits will be the most broken addition when the next version first comes out. Expecting ships with no weapons or onslaughts with PD in every slot on release day.

Baronjutter posted:Most money I've spent on games feels like a rip off, I consume it and then feel like "eh, I could have easily not spent $40 on that". But with Starsector I feel guilty I only paid $10. Like drat, I'd pay $10 per update and still feel like I was getting a god drat bargain. I think stats decreased by d mods will be red on the ship details. Haven't started up the new version yet though so i may be misremembering.

Baronjutter posted:Man, I'm barely treading water. Bounty hunting has leveled far beyond what I can tackle, exploration missions are few and far between and have me spending like 60k worth of fuel and supplies to get a 70k contract. I'm mostly taking small jobs at bars like food delivery for 20k, which end up costing me 10-15k in consumables. Buy storage space somewhere and store your more expensive-to-maintain ships there so you can get things done without spending massive amounts of money. Then try to take a few contracts on the same side of the sector so you can traverse a big arc and get them all done in one expedition. Named bounties are the only thing that levels up with time, you won't need a massive combat fleet for exploration and salvage runs. You can come back for big fish like motherships and battlestations with your whole fleet later, focus on getting a bit of a war chest for now.

Anticheese posted:I'd buy that if they actually had some custom text when you turn it in. Also their whole deal is crushing the menace of high technology (except for their antimatter-fuelled starships which they need for their crusade), so I would expect them to have more of a reaction. The Luddic Church is particularly concerned with ai cores because they consider them the most dangerous technology to mankind and take their destruction particularly seriously. The Pathers are extremists who think ALL high technology is that bad and should be destroyed. They'll take the cores but they don't view them as fundamentally different or more sacrilegious than the spaceship you carried it to them on.

Z the IVth posted:When fleets get past a certain size it's more fun to set autopilot and just watch the pretty fireworks. I can't get enough of the battlefield in view to have the awareness to pilot a capital properly even if I was going to try to be good at it. Even in large fleets a destroyer or light cruiser is a massive force multiplier when piloted by the player, though. The AI isn't aggressive enough on its own to collapse a flank or mess up the enemy's formation, but it'll be way more effective if you're there doing that.

Sadly, I think the automated ship recovery skill is kind of useless compared to its alternative because of the massive CR penalty. With one remnant ship in my fleet, it has a max CR of 45% even with an officer core with the skill that increases max CR.

Just captured a Paragon from a random pirate fleet that was otherwise all junkers, and I think it may have the ideal set of D-mods: Life support, fuel injector, and degraded subsystems. Basically half deployment cost for no meaningful in-combat penalty.
