You also can't militarize your logistics ships (freighters/tankers) because they'll eat into your bonus. Anything bigger and you start getting a lower bonus (though I think people do use it to pretty good effect with a Venture in early game even with the reduced benefit).

The max recovery cost to get the full benefit for Auxiliary Support is 5 which is like 2 shuttles or 1 frigate. Just something to keep in mind with skills is to look at their maximum effectiveness.

I briefly considered taking the skill that buffs militarized civilian ships and blotting out the stars with an endless blanket of combat freighters. My randomly picked portrait looks like the guy that'd be on the cover of a space Tropico game. I find it to be a good battlestation killer since it can shoot from long range and once it's close alpha strike with 4 4k damage torpedoes.Īlso decided to try a new character in a smaller sector.

#STARSECTOR GAME SIZE UPGRADE#

One thing that is necessary is to get the upgrade that increases your ammo by 50% for energy/ballistic weapons so your main guns have 30 shots each instead of 20. Huh, I've been running one of those as my flagship and I've been doing pretty well with it. I'll probably want to find something closer to the sector center with a variety of worlds. While exploring I came upon a volcano world with generous enough traits (ores and ruins) to get me a Class V Survey Data item! Is this the kind of world I should set up a colony on?ĮDIT: Just read up a bit on colonies. I salvaged a XIV Legion battlecruiser! 'm!ttens' tipped me off in Steam chat that it can't stand up to other ships of its size due to lacking Large hardpoints, but I'll keep it stashed in this abandoned station I was told about until I need to go U.S.S. I've found a few neato things while wandering around and doing odd jobs:

#STARSECTOR GAME SIZE PATCH#

Frigates are really good this patch and with the right loadouts, skills and pilots can take on just about anything in the game short of 2 set piece battles and high level stations.

Load it up with Safety Overrides and you can basically teleport at will to dash in, dump a bunch of ion and pure damage into the engines or weakpoints of an enemy ship then dash away before they can fix their guns on you. It's a frigate with cruiser level flux and hardpoint stats. The AI does a decent job with it but in the hands of the player it can easily turn the tide of battle. If you can find a Hyperion, it is a blast to fly. You as a player don't fly within the constraints of the AI and thus a hard enough push into a flank that the AI would be too cautious to do can be what turns the tide of battle into your favor, though on the other hand, I often find my player ship deaths are because I over-committed and didn't have the backup needed nearby. I am also super sloppy with piloting, but reading the posts above me I guess autopilot isn't a bad route to go?ĪI does a pretty good job and I'll often let it do mop-up duties for me or fly ships that do well with quick reflex toggles of abilities (phase skimmers and fortress shields come to mind). Just picked this up the other day and I have no idea what I'm doing! But I did beat the first pirate ship (on my second try) and reached a world which is offering me a mission. Raiding is ridiculously strong this patch and once you grind down a heavily armed faction manufacturing base you can raid it for blueprints so there is theoretically no limit, just time and luck need to be with you. The drop rate is balanced around the vanilla experience so I could see why you're maybe lacking BPs a bit. The 0.95 patch has made some big changes across everything (new weapons, rebalanced ships, new story line missions, completely revamped skill system, addition of 'story points' to let you do extra fun/cool stuff) so I'd recommend patching and starting a new game whenever you feel done with your current game. Or is this something the 0 95 patch have alleviated, so I should just patch and start a new game? Is it normal having to start raiding the empires to get the good ship BPs? It seems like the problem is that I have diluded the drop pool with the three faction mods. I'm have a bit of a problem in getting BPs for capital ships, as I have almost vacuumed the sector. I really like the Diable transport that is a fuel tanker and 2/3s of a colossus in one, and the D-M carriers and the big gun destroyer are fun, if a bit fragile.Ītm I have four okay colonies, where two are in a system that is a hop and skip from TT space. Have Diable Avionics, Dassault-Mikoyan and Volkov Industrial. It was only my second game, but I included some faction mods.
