Alchenar posted:It just needs some sort of Battle Brothers style 'endgame crisis' that triggers after a certain point in time (or that you can go hunting for) as a 'congrats, there will never be anything harder than that on this playthough' moment. That's probably going to be in the next patch as an Alpha Core revolt of your colonies.

http://fractalsoftworks.com/2018/02/12/blueprints-doctrine-and-production/ Basically, instead of a few set variants, AI ships will be equipped with stuff they could have gotten from the place they came from. They will tend to use PD where the base variant uses PD, etc, but they might have a machine gun instead of a vulcan.

metasynthetic posted:AI controlled Enforcers (on your side) seem allergic to using Sabots. I've tried several variants equipped with 4x Sabots for kinetics with mortars / assault guns for armor and they just poo poo themselves in the simulator every time. Sabots are usually only fired by AI to get a ship to overload, not as primary shield damage. Firing too early will make the ship just retreat and vent, wasting missiles, so they err on the side of caution.

Conot posted:Isn't gas usage consistent regardless, since its based on distance travelled (regardless of time taken to travel it)? Storm riding can actually slightly improve fuel efficency; I was heading home with just shy of enough fuel to make it in a straight line, but some lucky storms got me there with a few light years to spare.

Most people consider the "all ships in fleet" skills WAY better than the "piloted ship" skills, cause you can just hire an officer for the piloted ones. Skills aren't nearly as huge in this version as they were a couple ago, so just get what looks good. The +10% OP tech skill I find pretty hard to argue against. Is there any mechanical reason not to just set your fleet doctrine to max quality ships on the last of the month to get guaranteed D-mod free ships delivered, or does it average over the past month?

Nope, AI colonization isn't really planned, cause then the player would have to rush out asap to colonize before the big boys snap everything up.

The only downsides are skipping some of the early game and that you have a bigger fleet which eats more supplies, you still get the stipend and such.

Dassault is the one with the blade breakers, and luckily Soren saw sense and made a toggle to turn them off. Still a shame about having way too many redundant weapons in the mod, but that's more a personal problem of mine.

Just in case you didn't know, if you do it at a dock, it doesn't reset CR. If you mean explicitly in space, not that I know of.

abrosheen posted:This x100. I like all of those little factions they added, the problem is they aren't *little*. Like, there should be one blade breaker system, it's hard to find, then maybe when you do make contact with it you can trigger expansion and aggression. I'm glad there's an option to disable them now, but I'd rather be able to reduce the number of systems they can be present in. Aside from the expansion, that's what turning them off does - it doesn't completely remove them, but they only appear in their premade systems, like most factions.

The sensor penalty from degraded engines isn't all that bad, since your sensor profile (and strength) is only determined by your 5 biggest numbers. If you already have some ships a class above the one with the dmod, it's basically just the in-combat effects. The "Glitched Sensor Array" one doesn't increase your profile, just decreases strength and weapon range, so is a free one on noncombat ships.

Near-final patch notes for 9.1 up! And I think you might be thinking of Diable Avionics? They have a bunch of ships that can do short teleports, and the micro-missile launcher is what you described.

Kadur by the good professor adds in multiple features aside from the faction, including 4 rival colonial powers that start up after a year or your first colony, whichever is first.

If development had stopped the week I bought the game, back in 2012, I would have gotten my money out of it. Instead, I got a free expansion pack every year. Buy this game if you have any interest in it. There's at least one more major expansion, probably some time next year.

Since the last major patch is recent and stable, it's about a year before I'd begin to expect another. This one may be faster if he doesn't include too many new features, but there's no telling.

They have the AI exclusive ability to just not care about wasting your time, is the real problem. Everything else that is that good at kiting doesn't have the CR to sustain it, but they have like 10 minutes before they even begin to degrade.

They're getting pretty substantial buffs in the next patch, so at least Alex thinks they're kinda garbage. Flux cost going from 35 to 10 and turn rate from 30 to 80.

Also, if you have one of those "Buy my boat!" or other instant bar opportunities, you can save scum it until you get a contact offer. I discovered this by accident after getting a great contact in a good system, then loading and not getting a contact offer the second time.
