The command points are only to create assignments IIRC.

Once it's created you can tell any ship to go do it for free

I might be wrong though, i often go with only my flagship and a missile boat and tell it to camp at a sensor station

git gud

I found that putting economical beam weapons on Falcon/Eagle/Kestrel on autofire helps a lot. Gravitons take out the shields, hellbore cannons wreck the armor. Especially on Kestrel that gets one large ballistic and an ammo feeder. Graviton beams and taclasers don't generate that much after all, even on Aurora which you can outfit with 10 forward firing beams... Best ship hands down.

I switched to Odysseus though. Lasers, everywhere.

>>331687103
>>does this have a singleplayer?
It's the main focus of the game
>>is it heavily story based?
There is some lore behind everything, but there is no central storyline to follow in-game
>>is there working online multiplayer
Nope
>>how is mod support
Must be pretty good cause there's tons of mods available in the official forums and installing them is easy as fuck.
>>is the dev a generally cool guy? I know he doesn't want to go early access because, for once, someone has some dignity and wants to finish the game before throwing it out there. Just wanted to be sure
From his posts that I read, he does seem like a cool guy and generally knows what he's doing.
>>I like RTS's, stragey games, and titles like SPAZ. Would I like this game?
Probably, but there arent that many rts elements in this
>>does it require a strong PC?
I used to run this on a toaster no problems way back, but everyone seems to be having problems with it here so idk
>>
>>331687103
>does this have a singleplayer?
Yes
>is it heavily story based?
No, sandbox
>is there working online multiplayer
No
>how is mod support
Very extensive, to the point that mods are half the game
>is the dev a generally cool guy? I know he doesn't want to go early access because, for once, someone has some dignity and wants to finish the game before throwing it out there. Just wanted to be sure
Cool enough. He's an autismo like the guy that does DF and makes some weird choices, but you have to admire his dedication
>I like RTS's, stragey games, and titles like SPAZ. Would I like this game?
There is some bare bones fleet command. It's not really an RTS, however. The AI in general is quite good at what it does if you give it the right tools however, so you don't usually feel dragged down by your AI underlings

So on Nex do you guys prefer to have your own faction and gather up scraps of various faction fleets or go whole hog into a faction?

I've been doing a playthrough with BR and while I love the ships, the faction keeps declaring the dumbest fucking wars. I can never get any bounties because of it, and they're getting reamed even with my help.
>>
>>331688269
That can RNG happen in Nex sometimes. Random Faction Relationships at start can make playing as a faction with more enemies easier.

If you wanna go fast in a frigate, go for it. Enjoy that maintenance cost though. I love the ship system, doesn't give a shit about shields and disables weapons/engines if you schism through a cruiser.

Very rarely they don't, I get surprised that occasionally when I fight 4+ Paladins, that 2 just sit there. First time I saw a drifting KT ship I panicked because I thought it would blow up like a mine. And yes, they should instantly explode or not so you can't abuse this.

There is an unofficial 0.7.2 THI: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=9583.msg184088#msg184088

Its unofficial because it isn't made by the modder, but its approved by him. He warns of unexpected things happening, but is okay with people using it.

get dagger wing or two they are nasty, also a cruiser not named falcon or venture. maybe a tempest with engine mods for a super quick attack frigate to chase down those shuttles. honestly though cruiser is probably the best bet i usually go 3 total frigates, destroyer, 3 total destroyers buy a cruiser. medusa has the firepower of a cruiser so you can probably go straight to capitol next. also get some officers for the love of god.

Depends on the size of the market and from who. If you're taking pirate markets you should be fine if you can beat those armada/detachments that have a bunch of frigates and a few cruisers. Just make sure they have no back up maintaining distance with your fleet.
>>
>>331673105
I got an Onslaught XIV and I'm liking it, but how good is it really?

I just bought it on a whim at the freeport and it seems strong. The only things I can compare it to are the Diable ships in the rest of my fleet, but they're all cruisers or smaller.
>>
>>331725023
It's among the top. Not top tier but it's close

Do stations and planets continue to offer the same types of ships after they're taken over by other factions? Will the Neutrino Station still sell ships if it was taken over by the Hegemony?

>>331725638
Neutrino ships will be eventually be replaced by ships Hegemony sells. Interesting thing to note is a planet like Chicomoztac that has both a huge population and organized crime, will produce tons of drugs/harvested organs on the open market if the faction that controls it is okay with those things being traded.

Don't know it. Is it a Luddic ship?

Sometimes you rarely run into other factions with how crazy Nexerelin can be, so that's understandable. Also definitely try out Blackrock, worth a new save if you've conquered your current one.

>>331725946
Will the increased production as a result of open market trade drive the prices down? I wanna get my space-Jew on.

>>331726714
I guess I'll do that then. It's not completely conquered, but it's a campaign I started before I had a lot of mods downloaded so 4 factions including Templars are missing.
>>
>>331726714
Not the same annon but I'm thinking about giving Blackrock a dedicated save.
I see their corvettes a lot in various markets. They look neat and I like the idea of having a lot of nimble ships. The lack of shields is kinda off-putting though.
>>
>>331726735
I believe they are, and if the market gets destabilized from events like agents, crusades, etc. they could end up dirt cheap. I've made a few million because of a lucky trade disruption giving me cheap luxury goods, drugs and organs.

You're correct, because that's the description for it.

I like the more boxy designs better than the curvy design with reflective surfaces out the ass from before.

>>331736527
You mean the third one from there? >>331675967
Or the new designs altogether?
>>
>>331736661

New designs all together.
>>
>>331736872
Well, I don't think the old ones were bad per say, but they completely clashed with the vanilla sprites. Too sharp, little lighting, too busy... It has bothered me for to long to ignore. I tried to keep some of the boxyness in the design, but used a more vanilla friendly spriting.

But in the end this is a game I can't win, and I know that some people will always be disappointed whatever I change. My hope is that it's mostly a matter of getting used to the new look, and once all the ships are done, especially the weaker ones like the Sthenos, the overall look feels better.

So I now have a Mayor custom-carrier-cruiser, a Mayor laserlance frigate, two other lesser frigates for fire support, eight ticks with mining blasters and mining lasers, and a single wing of mining pods. And for some completely insane reason I now want to buy the actual shooty-shooty Mayor cruiser, which I know I can't support, and I need more frigates...

So the actual question is, in Corvus mode, what market type is most likely to have good mining ships, like mining pod wings and shepherds?

Also, why on earth are my pirates (Actual pirates, not junk pirates) less hated universally than Cabal? It feels weird flying through space and not getting hit by them now - heck, one actually HELPED OUT against a Metellson patrol.
>>
>>331737237
Imo the blocky design is better, gives a defining feature to the faction, and most ships are already curvy enough (even the Hegemony is curvy despite the words "heavy armor" evoking images of giant bricks of metal)

Though that's up to you to decide

>>331737759
Independent and Hegemony markets have a decent amount of shepherds, I've got quite a few from New Maxios when I mined in Magec. I can hardly find mining pod wings, so using Omnifactory would be a good idea.

I haven't had much experience with the Cabal, but in my current save their only known enemy is Knights Templar. They have no allies, and they seem to run around doing raids on no one.

>>331739792
To change one line where?
Not everyone is familiar with java, and even less might know that you can crack it by yourself without being part of a 1337 warez group. Most people look for pre made stuff when looking for cracks because that's the most common form (install game, run crack exe/replace file with crack file)
