What would be a good scenario to run starting out/Which ships should I aim for?(mods included) I likes me some macross missile spam and/or gundam style drone funnels/fighters.


Would generally prefer smaller fleets for some pirating/privateer/pirate hunting things too.

Are there any mods that add ships/modules that generate food(agroponics)/fuel(magic sun harvesting)

Anyone happen to have a mod/able to make a mod that zeroes out the maint costs of all ships? Would still have supplies be really important for repair/salvage/CR etc, but removes some of the annoying micromanagement of constantly having to buy out supplies.

Yeah problem with that is that I'd have to do it for every single mod I have too, and do it again whenever one updates.

The super pirate poo poo is in Underworld, which was also part of SS+. It adds a ton of actually decent hulls to pirates. IIRC the Venom is basically a looted Hyperion.

The super pirate ship is 30 wolf frigates taped together

I mean rimworld has already solved this entire problem:

On the dev side, you release the new RC as an opt in beta for a week or two, this both allows you to find gamebreaking bugs, and lets modders update their mods to work for the new version. Also leaving the previous version as an opt in beta afterwards.
On the modder side, once a new version is released as a beta, you upload your new version of the mod as a new file, leaving the old version of the mod in limbo in case people don't wanna update to the new game version yet.

You also have to keep watch on who's at war with who since factions get REAL pissy REAL fast if you do any decent amount of trade with who they're at war with.

So the mod community for this game is amazing, but I've noticed a distinct lack of licensed IP mods (Battlefleet Gothic, Star Wars, etc.). I know Star Wars and Homeworld mods were made but were later retooled into original content. What gives? Is it a Terms of Use thing Alex determined for the official forums to keep Big Bad Lawyers away?

The companies that own those IP's are incredibly anal about modded content, basically unless you're something like skyrim or fallout, they're gonna curbstomp you.

Early game the best money maker is usually missions. Go to the bar, get missions to move x goods to y system. Usually pretty safe and can get you some basic income and reputation. Then once you have some money and can equip yourself a little better, start taking the exploration missions—the domain era probe scanning and planet scanning. Just make sure you run from whatever enemies you find out there—they’re much stronger than you at this point.

Once you have a decent combat fleet, you can start doing the bounty missions / consider founding a colony if you’ve found a good planet.

And the true best money maker at pretty much all points in the game is attacking pirate stations spaceports then selling them poo poo at a premium(be sure to put a sniffer in the system, they'll basically spam out contracts for stuff you'd be selling them anyway)

you're not wrong, but baking in missile racks is just a story point away!

i'm really enjoying the hyperion with

2x heavy blaster
1x typhoon reaper launcher

hull mods are:
baked in hardened systems
baked in safety overrides
stabilized shields
flux distributor
extended shields

and that leaves you with enough for 10/10 vents capacitor

you get a 360 shield arc, 10k flux capacity, and enough firepower to overload a cruiser solo. you can run pretty hot after sustained fire but you can just teleport away to bleed off flux. 194 top speed without the 0 flux boost means you can chase down most things that matter. teleport->torpedo engines will ruin most larger ships.

just look at this cute lil deathball



This made me realize something I want from story points also, being able to remove poo poo like high maintenance and other built in negatives.

What's the best way to reverse course from -100 relations with pirates? Also I installed a bunch of faction mods, does anyone know if player Mary Sue style factions send out expeditions too?

No idea if this works without nex but what I usually do is raid a bunch of places and shut down their spaceport, then take the contracts for stuff they need. It's an amazingly good earlygame money maker too and you usually end up with higher rep than you started with even if you're not at -100 lmao
