What you're implying is that you think it only takes place in space, which is wrong.
Learn to logic, since what you're implying is not what you said. You were perfectly right that sci-fi takes place in space, yet that doesn't mean that it doesn't take place in other locations.

rolling for servant origin
Finally made a build for the updated Stardust. Managed a nice mining carrier. Though I noticed something a bit odd, With the Beatrice R&D background you effectively get as many free scout drones as you like, due to them only costing 1m and the origin removing 1m from the cost of drones.
First origin and jobs
Beatrice R&D
The Old Timer, The Whisperer.
Search & Rescue tier 4, The Acheron tier 3, All Aboard tier 4, The Twin Fangs tier 4, Rogue Drones teir 3, Mining King Steve tier 4, And the Fire Grows tier 4.
Skills Advanced Piloting, Mechanics, Nuclear, Industry, and bought Diplomacy.
Abyss for the hull, Targray AI, Two Fission reactors, Advanced Shielding, Columbus command mod, Teleport Jammer, Active Cloaking, and one Overdrive Afterburner.
For weapons attached to the carrier itself I have 6 Light Laser Cannons, and nothing else. Really just mean for those to be for cutting things to help with mining. Also didn't really feel like buying mining lasers and putting them on my hull.
Then my probes start with 22 Mining Drones, to fill up half my capacity, with 10 MK2 lenses, and 10 MK3 lenses. A single Hull Repair Drone, one Science Probe, and one Scout Drone. Lastly for actual fighting and defense, 6 Brawler drones with heavy laser and llc, which can double up for cutting asteroids and such into more manageable pieces.
For ship rooms Crew Quarters Upgrade, Officer's Quarters, Captain's quarters, Advanced Infirmary, Fancy Mess Hall, Tavern, Gravity Control room, Ore Processing Facility, Factory wing, Engineering Bay, Hypercomms Room, Teleporting Platform, Aquaponics, Laboratory, Terraforming bay, Meat Fridge, Recreational Room, Observatory, and a Secure Vault.
Last up crew, Vito Lozano, Carolyn Brooks, Wesley Chalmers, Emily Newton, Gregorz Gregrzoika, Brian Richardson, Ignacio Lopez, Trisha "Props" Lim, Malcolm Red, and Anna Tes. With 1000 androids, 500 industrial laborers, 500 Researchers, 500 Engineers, and 50 medics, and volunteers for the last bit

Why don't write your build in a list and post your background story separately?
That way people don't have to read a wall of text to know what you chose for your build.
>>44365597
Because it basically is a list anon? once the build starts there are three sentences that aren't part of it as a list.
>>44365616
I mean an actual point form list, without formally stating every choice in your build in full sentences.
You're currently presenting your build in a huge blocks of text.

Well shit, Archer is the only one I haven't picked out a servant for. Well gonna roll up magic experience then decide where to go from there.
A dustkeeper pirate decloaks and slaps your battleship on the ass. What do you do?
>>44365212
I ended up keeping it the same and just condensing the text, it looks worse but is easier on my sanity.
>>44366041
Never thought of a Dustkeeper pirate concept before, I usually thought they were people who minded their own business. I like this concept though, I can definitely see that some Dustkeepers are probably total dicks.
>>44366597
They are just adventurers in space as far as I can see. That means they follow normal murderhobo logic, so many of them would end up outlaws.
>>44366041
Took me a minute to realize that you'd just turned my build into an NPC. This looks nice but I think it's a bit too OP.
>>44366597
>>44366780
The origin description says Dustkeeper is more a title than a faction, so I imagine they can be anything from scavengers to treasure hunters to thieves.
>>44366955
What do you mean your build. It's my build, buddy.
>>44367000
It's a near exact copy of >>44364533
>>44367034
I made that build like 30 minutes after SD v2 was posted, and then just kept updating it with versions. So no, It's my build, we were likely just trying to do the same things and came to the same sorts of conclusions.
>>44367034
Now that I looked it over a bit more it's not really that similar. You have very different weapon load outs and you didn't try to maximize navigation and shields for example.
>>44367129
I figured an additional 2 Navigation wouldn't be worth gutting two rooms. And why max shields when most of the time you're gonna be invisible or flying to fast to hit?
I'm mainly saying they're the same because we both have Herald destroyers with twin Scab fighters and a Dustkeeper pirate background. Seriously, what are chances of that happening?Also why eight Pulse Cannons? You could probably achieve the same effect with sustained blaster fire, or are planning on attacking Carriers and Dreadnoughts by yourself?

>>44364533
>>44367192
>Seriously, what are chances of that happening?

AW SHIT
>>44367192
>I figured an additional 2 Navigation wouldn't be worth gutting two rooms. And why max shields when most of the time you're gonna be invisible or flying to fast to hit?
I figured that high navigation was the entire point of having a destroyer in the first place, why not maximize it. Seeing how 10 rooms is enough to be perfectly comfortable.
And why not max shields, it's not like it costs you much.
>I'm mainly saying they're the same because we both have Herald destroyers with twin Scab fighters and a Dustkeeper pirate background. Seriously, what are chances of that happening?
Not that low. Keep in mind that any player that's going to make a destroyer build will likely try to maximize it, since it's a small and therefore cheaper ship otherwise. Dustkeeper is also the background most closely related to Herald tech use. A detail like having two fighters is also a natural conclusion since both your cash and hangar space can fit them in comfortably.
One big difference between our builds is your lack of ground forces, by the way. All you'd have is a squad of infantry and air support via your fighters and possibly the destroyer which may be a bit clunky. Meanwhile I took vehicles and two brawler drones specifically for planetary operations. (The drones aren't meant for space, there's no point in using them there when they're so much slower than the main three ships.)
>Also why eight Pulse Cannons?
Why not? I can put them into the spinal mounts. They have the exact same DPS as mana blasters, they just have better stats except for tracking... and tracking doesn't do shit in spinal slots. It's a good longer ranged weapon.
That might not be an issue for you since your build has a lot more long ranged weaponry than mine, but my build maximizes weapons like mana blasters and tesla overchargers which are only useful in short range ambushes, as well as a lot of torpedoes that probably need to be launched in short range to have a decent chance of getting past PD.
>>44367192
>or are planning on attacking Carriers and Dreadnoughts by yourself?
Yes, actually. Well a dreadnought may be iffy, but carriers should be easy.
Let's see, 8 spinal particle beam cannons, 6 spinal tesla overchargers, 8 spinal mana blasters, and about 6 more broadside mana blasters would hit instantly out of ambush. They'd be quickly followed by 12 torpedoes and 8 missile volleys.
Even a 25 armor 25 shield carrier would likely be severely damaged by the end of the first volley in an ambush.
That's the sort of thing destroyers were made for.
>>44366041
First of all, I shit my standard-issue Federation command pants, because that destroyer alone costs almost twice as much as my battleship. Then while he's cloaked, I prepare to put my Bulwark on at any time and sweep the area with light laser cannons. If I register a hit or he decloaks to shoot me, fire all available artillery and missiles into his general location. Don't even bother waiting to lock on, shoot the fucker and hope he either dies or retreats far enough for me to be able to warp the fuck out of there.
Someone please tell me how to turn 7 pics totaling almost 40mb into a PDF under 8mb so I can post it here without spamming 7 posts of shit for the CYOA

That said, 7 posts doesn't mean much to the thread. I have never seen a case where this posed a problem, so I don't see why /cyoag/ is so autistic about it. I'd only see it necessary if your CYOA exceeds like 10 pages.

It is, but I really love having a lot of rooms. Hopefully that 2 Nav won't come back to bite me in the ass. As for my shields I just didn't really care for the extender mod and didn't have enough credits to buy it anyway.
>One big difference between our builds is your lack of ground forces...
I don't have any ground vehicles because I'm not planning on launching any major ground offensives. If I even need to fight planetside it'll be in close quarters.
>>44367694
Will there be official main CYOA support? Like an option in Star Solider that brings you into a faction in the main CYOA?
>>44367805
Just curious. I was so disappointed when SDA announced his updates last christmas then took a year off like a lazy faggot and now that hes posting shit im excited
>>44367897
>I don't have any ground vehicles because I'm not planning on launching any major ground offensives.
Yeah, I took them because they fit the whole "ready for anything" theme. Besides, it's a pirate.
>If I even need to fight planetside it'll be in close quarters.
Don't forget that your fighters can act as heavy air support and your destroyer is basically either a huge gunship or an artillery platform depending on how you use it.
>>44367937
So which Contracts and Titles did you pick to get so many credits?
>>44367951
I always take two of the biggest ones. In the new version I prefer Demigod and Fatebreaker.
Contracts are easy to just grab-all, mostly you can at least get T3.
But the build that I posted is an NPC build, so I didn't include any of that.

All CYOAs ever created?
In no particular order:
Jumpchain
Magical Girl
Star Dust
Power Armour
Magical Realm
There really is nothing else that can really compare in popularity.
>>44368514
>>44368591
Please don't post any of those things.
>>44368594
Conduit is pretty popular. Not sure if it would really displace on of those though.
>>44368594
Jumpchain isn't "a CYOA". It's a huge library of mostly walls of text in PDF form.
>>44367694
Do you divide your skill and equipment level by 2 when trying to transfer it into a character? Since both have maximums of 20 and the main and DLC crewmembers only have a max stat of 10.
>>44368609
Forgot about Conduit. I'd say it could find its way on the list.
>>44368614
You're right, it's a SERIES of CYOA. Just like Conduit. If
>>44368645
Conduit isn't a series of CYOA. Unless you're counting the waifu, queller and market addons or something (did I forget any?), then I guess you're right, thought its popularity doesn't have much to do with those.
>>44368672
Conduit is a bunch of pretty discounted pages that you can use together. Or not, and thrallherd is making them even more stand alone next version. So they very much can be seen as a series.
>>44368701
>Conduit is a bunch of pretty discounted pages that you can use together.
Except you can't use them without one another. For example the entire prison meister shitstorm kept happening again and again because people weren't able to cut out the prison from the rest of the setting even by using the drawback that usually lets you do that to a world.
It's a coherent CYOA.
>>44368727
>Except you can't use them without one another
Not in the future. As I just told you, the overhaul will make this possible.
>>44368710
Sweet Apple maybe.
Plan is to somehow embed the sword into a solid surface and impale That Guy on it. Let him eat the fuck's soul and end him for good. Gonna be doing the world a real favor with that.
>>44368737
I don't care about what you told me if it has no bearing on the discussion. We have no idea if the next version will be popular or even finished. A potential future version is completely irrelevant when considering how popular CYOAs are currently or historically.
>>44368737
Not him, but I think you should be talking about the version of Conduit that is actually completed, rather than the version that is in very early development. The first world isn't even finished yet.
>>44368761
Your discussion is a bit pedantic, isn't it? It absolutely has no bearing on the ranking either way.
>>44368779
Well, if by "the" ranking you mean that one here >>44368594 then it does directly affect it, since the Conduit is a direct contender seeing how Jumpchain would be disqualified.
I don't know why you're calling some random anon's opinion "the ranking" though.
>>44368801
That anon is the official CYOA adjudicator though.
>>44368810
Prove it.
>>44368801
>Jumpchain would be disqualified
Nope. You could instead just say the Pokemon jumpchain. Standalone, a complete CYOA, and extremely, ridiculously popular enough to spawn its own thread and series of CYOAs in its own general. So no, you can say Jumpchain as a whole might not qualify as it's not an individual CYOA, but individual Jumpchains could, and that would certainly ranks.
Because it's a ranking. I could have said 'a' ranking, but it hardly matters. Unless you want to be pedantic about my word choice now.
>>44368814Wasn't being serious, senpai.
>>44368823
Uh, no. The Pokemon Jumpchain may have spawned a genre, but it was never popular in and of itself, the genre is.
No individual CYOA that is part of Jumpchain is as highly popular as for example the Conduit one is, or any of the other CYOAs mentioned.
>>44368832Well, obviously, I just wanted to see what you'd come up with.
Even though the Stardust CYOA says I cant put hull mods on Dreadnought ships, im going to do it anyway since I think its fucking retarded that I cant. Ill just make the mods cost triple the regular price.
Will this be a problem?
>>44368851
>it was never popular
Now you're just lying. You and I both know that's some bullshit.
>>44368867
No, anon, do what you like as long as you think it's fair.
/r/ing Space Refugee CYOA. Stardust is good, make no mistake, but it puts you in a big-ass ship rather than a Firefly-esque scenario - just you, a ship, and a few friends, flying the endless skies in search of...well, probably money, so much for poetry, etc.

>>44368867
Dreadnoughts are already build with all possible upgrades integrated. They can't be improved. So you're retarded.
>>44368867
Probably.
>>44368877
I meant comparably popular to the most popular CYOAs out there. Sure it was popular, but it was in the top 100 at best considering that there's probably upwards of 2000 CYOAs by now.
>>44368894
>>44368894
Not true, prove it
>>44368897
And it got posted so much and had so many builds it got kicked out into its own general where it stays incredibly popular. It's at least Magical Girl level, probably more. Don't be mad just because you hate those guys, credit where credit is due.
>>44368894
So wait, all dreadnoughts have cloaking by default, and you can't not have cloaking on one?
>>44368867
So 21x the price listed on the page? Sure, you do you.
>>44368927
It's too big to cloak.
>>44368926
No, it spawned a whole bunch of new CYOAs off of its format that all got kicked to their own thread together.
It in itself wasn't that popular.
Examples of more poplar CYOAs: battlemage, domain master, slut life, quiet CYOA, etc.
>>44368942

Be a retard if you want anon, I don't care enough to argue with you being retarded for an argument.
>>44368927
I think the only one actually built into it is the teleport jammer. My thought was always that the Dreadnaughts are too cumbersome to mess around with changing the structure - anything that size would have to be built to very specific engineering specifications or it would tear itself apart under its own interia. Also just too much surface area to cloak or cover with nanites.
>>44368938
>21x
No just 3x
>>44368972
Do you really not understand that a CYOA + its imitators being popular doesn't count as the original CYOA itself being popular?
I mean this is like saying that the ford model T car is the most popular car in the world because everyone started making cars like it afterwards.
No.
>>44369020
The CYOA itself was. Again, this is some historical revisionism on your part because you dislike it. Most of us here do, so you're in good company, but unlike you, I don't believe in using that to justify lies.
>>44369001
>Also just too much surface area to cloak or cover with nanites.
Why? Just get even more nanite paint. Ta-da, all of it is covered.
>>44369008
So what you're saying is that your dreadnaught's hull mods would cost the same as those of a destroyer?
>>44369008
Then that's less than the price you'd pay for a carrier. You're supposed to multiply ship mods by the hull size first, which is 7 for the dreadnaughts. Then you'd triple that.
>>44369031
>The CYOA itself was.
No it fucking wasn't, anon. It in itself never got as much attention as the Conduit for example. Or Battlemage, or Domain Master. Saying that it did is historical revisionism because you're just pulling shit out of your ass, apparently for no reason except to win an irrelevant argument that isn't going to have any effect on anything anyway.

This cyoa hasn't got much attention, and that's a shame. It is pretty rough and could use revisions/fleshing out however.
There was a cool space cyoa where you are a prisoner on some asteroid or something idk and you got credits to upgrade your cell and get items and shit
Was cool, anyone got it?

oh shit hot damn nigga this is it, originally saw it on /b/ a long time ago when they used to have cool CYOA threads with mainly would you kill niggers or jews or etc and it got me to /tg/

To be fair, I made the decision to move to 1200px wide for SD 2.0 because it was something being waved about at the time, and it seemed logical. That said, 1200px dimensions allowed me to keep a reign on filesizes a lot better, so I'm okay with it for now. My next CYOAs are likely going to be larger though.
>>44369807
I'm endlessly self-debating on augmentations. I'd like to put them in, but this isn't really a super soldier CYOA where you're some top secret experiment. On top of that, it's difficult to implement it into the stat system I have in place. For example, I have 20 terms for you to take which can translate into the "Skill Level" stat easily in Star Dust. Equipment was more or less balanced where picking a set of armour and a few weapons gave you a reasonable "Equipment Level". Adding in augmentations to the formula is going to be tricky, and the only way I can see this helping is if I nerf everything else's equipment/skill level, and that'll hurt the people who don't wish to take augmentations.

Not that I'm aware anon, but that's no reason that you couldn't post a few fliers out at some local game stores and recruit some able players for fun and mayhem provided you do all the heavy work GMing. (Could probably get something running in Traveller or something)

Hmmm. Good points. Although since security officers can't also be engineers or medics you could get rid of those and just put augmentations down as a "training course". Armorer, weaponsmith, and medic does not really add to your skill level as a soldier. They are great tools to add on the side and add to your overall effectiveness but augmentations would add more to combat skill level then those.
>>44370170
>Armorer, weaponsmith, and medic does not really add to your skill level as a soldier.
I don't know being able to customise your loadout to the situation is pretty handy anon. Also in an extended combat scenario the ability to patch up some of your fellow soldiers is also something that probably would get good mileage. Ever heard of a Combat Medic?

Blurry, or small? These are the highest quality jpgs that these file sizes allow. I could go higher to the 7mb range but that's diminished returns.
It being hard to read for being small is a different story, anon. The only part I agree with you on this is the map, which I literally just took and downscaled from the old version.
>>44370170
Like I said, I'm likely just going to add in some primitive augmentations like a chip embedded in your head that lets you browse the internet.
>>44370315
>Not wanting glorious fusion energy
But seriously, 20+ years is a long time and you'll probably scrounge up enough money by then to replace the reactor fuel.
Have you never heard of capacitors for energy storage? Where does all the excess energy your power source generates go? Also, re-read the power caps description. They synergize with other energy sources and give you 3 energy points for 12m, forgoing their recharge time.
>>44370366
>>44370386
>>44370402
Stats section say you can't exceed 25 on any of those stats. You can't get past that limit even with mods.
Dreads are an exception to this rule, but you can't get mods on them.
I am also going to reword the Berserker title and say that the -2 shield strength is permanent. Meaning that your max is 23/25 shields, and you can't go beyond that. That was the whole point behind the title.

No problem, I was debating about it after all.
>>44370480
>I meant the part the says dreads can exceed
Well they have greater then 25 as a base. You don't effect that. That is just the way it is.
>>44370480
No, I can't, and I don't care if people break the rules. But if people want to discuss the rules, I will point it out to them.

Im so lost on Dreadnought hull and shield stats..they cant go past 25 shield, but can go past 25 hull because their base is that way, but can never improve from base?

Yes, that's the intention. I'm adding a section at the end that describes how to translate your character over to the main CYOA and also offer a fireteam discount for multiple characters.

Nope, it removes the entire point of a cyoa.
>>44370679
ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION
>>44370764
Not SDA, but she explicitly stated that you couldn't have more than 25/25 hull, except on dreadnaughts, which she added after creating the system. I don't know if the shield strength restriction was lifted.
>>44364018
It says that if you get more then one of the same power type you get the second for 50% off. I assumed it was just on one ship but what if I put it on a fighter as well. Does the fighter get the 50% off or does it only count doubles if they are on the same ship?
>>44369371
This one is just silly. Would go for pirate though or headless horse woman .......maybe the liar if it wasnt a lovecraftian shadow beast saying its not trying to make you go mad even though they call it a liar....
>>44370777
>she
Are we doing this now
A fighter with 25 armor isnt the same as a carrier with 25 right? Its more like since carriers are 6 classes up, their 25 hull is like the 150 compared to the fighters 25 right?
>>44370923
no, that wouldn't make sense with how some things work
the best explanation would be some sort of invisible HP in addition to shields and armor
>>44370696
>another irish lancer
sonuva... how many do they have?
Looks cool though. You miscounted his skill points though. Where did you get the extra stats for his noble phantasm?
>>44370918
Shit no offense
Saw "Sandra" floating around saying confident and authoritative stardust stuff and assumed SDA = Sandra = Grill. My bad
>>44370993
She can be whatever she likes, don't be a judgmental shitlord anon
>>44370923
>>44370939
I would think hull armour and shields are the same, but there's still hull integrity or hull structure to consider. They can be made of the same material and thus have the same resistances when impacted by projectiles, but a fighter would fall apart much quicker because it's a much smaller structure.
>>44371043
I think SDA fucked up royally with keeping numbers the same for all the ships. Dreads should be like 300 and it goes down to like 5 for fighters. Same for damage etc
>>44370993
SDA has no gender. SDA is a living meme.
>>44370662
her right or our right?
>>44371125
Her. Couldn't you guess?
>>44370923
>>44370939
>>44371043
>>44371074
Until told otherwise, I'm gonna pretend hull/shield strength scale up by 5 every tier. I.e. 5/25 on a frigate = 25/25 on a fighter. Same kinda deal with weapons. T1 on a dreadnaught can swat drones, fighters, and maybe frigates out of the air like flies. T1 on a fighter is only good for drones, other fighters, or, if you work on it, frigates.
>>44371157
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW_hGOFukMQ
>>44371157
That makes weapon power not make sense anymore.
>>44371157
Bit misguided, since some ship classes are made to punch outside of their size, like Destroyers. Ships are literally designed to fuck up Battleships and Carriers by being too fast to pin down and having oversized weapons.
SDA if you are updating the star soldier CYOA then could you perhaps add notes as to which weapons are in the standard armory in the stardust CYOA, and which ones would be more appropriate in the advanced armory?
>>44371150
fuck anon do i look smart to you?
>>44371251
You don't exactly need to be smart for this, you just need to know how breasts generally look.
SDA you hack fuck, revamp your armor damage navigation scaling between ship classes.
SDA you faggot, don't do what this retard >>44371288 is saying.

>>44371176
How so?
>>44371184
I'm not saying mine is a perfect system, just that it seems like a fair rule of thumb. Fighters and drones are meant to engage larger targets, sure, but they're meant to do it in /numbers/. If big weapons on small ships was a reliable strategy, no one would build big (combat-centric) ships. Every step up in size gives you more room for guns, a thicker hull, bigger shield generators. It even says in the flavor text that three Gungnirs stood up to "swarms of ships" for "many tedious weeks" with no backup, and you can bet your ass they weren't all fighters and frigates.
>>44371395
>Fighters and drones
I'm talking about destroyers, numb nuggets. The ones meant to engage battleships/carriers alone or in very small groups.
>>44371395
>If big weapons on small ships was a reliable strategy, no one would build big (combat-centric) ships
Welcome to 1939-present
>>44371395
>Fighters and drones are meant to engage larger targets, sure, but they're meant to do it in /numbers/.
No they're not. Look at the prices in the CYOA.
>If big weapons on small ships was a reliable strategy, no one would build big (combat-centric) ships.
This is wrong. Never heard of the concept of escalation before?
>It even says in the flavor text that three Gungnirs stood up to "swarms of ships" for "many tedious weeks" with no backup, and you can bet your ass they weren't all fighters and frigates.
You can also bet your ass they weren't the high quality ships that you see in a typical build here.

I was gonna get four Gundams, but then I decided to get Styx, and then I had to get her siblings to do her quest, because I like to do side-quests, and somehow it seemed unfair to leave someone out.
