Someone throw me a bone here, how do you set the flagship with this new UI? Why is it not a button on the fleet menu?

If I can add to the advice, if you are at the mid-point of your game and you are having trouble with supplies or logistics, don't be afraid to drop off a few ships at the abandoned shipyard. I found going back to a more lean fleet for a bit makes the game much easier.

That is an awesome gif. It also reminds me, the other day I had a ship with a low hp hull. I had just gotten out of a nasty fight and got attacked again. The fight started and the "boost" it does not where it flings you full speed into the map flung me full speed into a large asteroid. Almost killed me instantly.

The complaint is that you constantly have to chase things down on the battle map. Sure, they should run from you on the campaign map. And sure, they probably should run on the battle map. The only problem is that it is incredibly boring to chase down every ship in every battle. Unless it is a perfectly even match or the AI has the advantage, it will run. It's very boring, even with the ability to send in frigates and fighters from the sides.

Blacktoll posted:I don't think there isn't anything wrong with the A.I. running the gently caress away from a superior fleet if that is what it is encountering. In fact, I offer up this: Why not bring a wolf pack with your huge gently caress-off ships? That way if they run you can sick your wolf pack on them for an easy kill. I think the game's meta is moving away from "This my ship and I use this ship for everything" and into "This is my fleet and I use what is best to be used in this battle". The largest ship in my fleet is a destroyer, and anything but the huge system defense fleet runs.

First time playing the game with mods and while they are neat, dealing with the Java issues or whatever else is going on is a pain. Upgraded to the 64 bit JRE and edited vparams to 4 gigs and my game still crashes while trying to load my save. Going to shelve this one and hopefully the next patch will address the memory usage.

So I know this is off-topic, but haven't seen it mentioned. I'm sure pretty much everyone playing Starsector has played Homeworld. They just released a remastered collection that looks awesome. Thread here.

For when you look a bunch of poo poo as salvage and want to sell it above board? Or for other systems that might be getting added to the game? I get what you're saying, but as people are telling you, you can make money trading. It's just the dev doesn't want it to be mindless "take items from one station to any other station." You need to actually pay attention to what is going on and fulfill a niche need. Any other trading is unprofitable at the scale you can do because giant corporations cover the market.

Man, I haven't played in a while and the last few updates have added a ton of stuff. A bit odd to end up with a bunch of ships basically given to you before leaving the tutorial area. Still loving piloting the Wolf. I used to go towards Gravitron Beam and I thought there was something that allowed you to do more damage with energy weapons if you had higher flux. Is that still in game? Gravitron seems a little weak without it.

Aww, that sucks. Yeah, that's what I was noticing as well. It just doesn't have enough punch now. I really like the beam aspect of the Gravitron over the laser projectile aspect of the Pulse Laser. Is there something else I should try out on the Wolf? I guess the closest would be a Phase Lance. The Heavy Blaster projectile is too slow, similar to my complaint with the Pulse Laser. Shame they don't have medium-sized Autopulses.

I haven't played in a good long while. Maybe since they added salvaging and all the campaign map travel abilities? And yeah, I am having trouble finding weapons to outfit my ships. That plus playing on Iron Man and the whole (D) mods that seems to keep accruing in my fleet... It's been interesting. If it wasn't for the stipend I get from completing the tutorial I'd be poo poo out of luck. Do you get that even if you skip the tutorial?

I'm just starting to think about setting up a colony and I wanted to ask before I spent a bunch of time doing something dumb. I found an unexplored system that has like 6 or 7 planets with 100% hazard rating but otherwise they all have "nothing special" after surveying them. Is the hazard rating the only real important stat? Is there something else I'm missing? If there's a bunch of those planets in the same system does that make it more attractive because I can set up a bunch of colonies in the same system?

my kinda ape posted:That is a very unusual system in my experience. Yeah, I am kinda thinking it is a pre-built system because it's right in the middle of the core worlds and is called "Penelope's Star." OwlFancier posted:Define "nothing special" because if there are literally no resources then yes that's a bit of a problem. You want to be producing something on the worlds even if it's only things to support the population. Sorry, the "nothing special" was what the game shows when you finish surveying the planet. Here's a screenshot. I'm assuming I should keep looking for places to go. That Arid "Jeremiah's World" looked decent, but I think it was more organics and the system itself was not that great and kinda far.

So what exactly am I looking for in a planet/system to colonize? I feel like I've been looking forever and maybe I'm just being too picky. It is best to have a few worlds in a single system that you can colonize, correct? That way you have some synergies going on, have one place for your AI fleets to defend, etc. Low hazard, high accessibility, and then some of the + to mining (ore, rare ore, volatiles seems to be it?). How about + to farming? Would a terran world with -1 to farming be a disqualifier? Being closer to the core means it's easier to fly over and defend. Also seems to increase accessibility. So closer is pretty much universally better, or is there a trade off going on? Thanks. Tried to find a guide or something that had all this in one spot, but I didn't see one and I haven't been able to piece that all together without actually testing it.
