>Sexy Mayorate Ships / Tiangdong Update When Edition
Also, did anyone know that you can drop off a faction's illegal goods at their military markets if you're on good enough standing? Now I feel silly for all those times I sold the recreational drugs on the black market when I could be increasing my rep with the independants instead.
>>332388270
are they incompatible or something?
>>332388369
The Mayorate is missing heavy ships, and they're getting some very sexy boats.
Tiangdong has a sprite error. You need to use an unofficial fix to use it without crashing, but the creeator is going to release it along with more boats.
>>332388501
how many other mods got broken by 7.2?
>>332388270
Hnngh those ships, that the update of said mods?
>>332389926
That's just an upcoming one for Mayorate. I'm just waiting for the Tiangdong so I can play it without weird things happening.
Finally got my new flagship while I was browsing Freeport for more Exemplar/Gilgamesh. I forgot it was a joke ship, with how stupidly strong it is. Then there's Extra Systems that I need to finish applying to this.
>>332391624
Still not safe from a jihadding Paladin
>>332391797
Simulation, but I think I'll make it out alive. I'm waiting for a proper anime boss fleet to show up to really test its potential.
>>332392321
Now try the simulation without a pilot and at 80% CR, because that's what your enemy is.
Do I need to buy this game to play it? Where can I get it?
>>332392518
I feel like this WebM is small, but it should show the whole fight. Can't fit much more than 20 second clips without going below 720p, maybe I should look into this some more.
>>332393247
>1.78 MB
limit for size is 3 MB, how are you making your webm?
try 1024x576
>>332393247
Mjolnir stronk!
>>332392321
>>332393247
I'm just sayin from experience, when a Paladin decides to boost into your ship till you're bumpin uglies, while you're still trying to kill it, and it explodes right on top of even that Neutrino flagship, you're going down with him.
I've also spent 4 minutes dueling the GodShip with the same 80% CR no officer setup and forgetting to throw on Aux Thrusters for the fight. The cunt AI keept moving, so I spent a good portion of the fight using only my broadside because no maneuverability. Grapeshot is a godsend for that fight, its consistent damage helped so much with the GodShip's self-healing bullshit.
>>332393445
WebM for Bakas with OBS to record. Probably not the best thing to use I'm guessing.
>>332393886
I don't doubt you anon. My first few run ins with KT is why I dedicate a lot of time to fighting them. Same goes for Appro-Light, when I decided it was a good time to do an assassination bounty a long time ago, before I was ready.
Are there any mods that make mariens worthwhile?
>>332394602
Marines are worthwhile, it's the military and black markets that are just extremely accessible. Also ships are really cheap in vanilla.

Or alternatively, pay the dev so he can get off his fat ass and finish the game once and for all.
>>332395934
Or alternatively, crack the game yourself since it's only Java.
>>332395934
danke
>>332396207
I tend not to recommend that seeing as no one has upped a mega link for RC3 yet. Using the dev's server just to pirate it seems like an assholish thing to do.
That said, someone did upload the crack for RC3 on 4shared though if anyone wants:

>>332393247
That ship is overpowered.
6 large slots can wreck everything if you put enough in capacitors and vents.
I did 6 tachyon lances while stacking range bonuses and capital ships couldn't stand that for more than 4 seconds
>>332396647
I thought the Unsung was only available through the arcade missions. I remember downgrading it and making it available on the market a long time ago though.
>>332396751
You can buy it at Prism Freeport through High-End Seller, but that exists to sell almost anything. I'm not too sure on how to obtain it otherwise, if there's a way it would probably be to exist as an easter egg.
>>332396647
Like the Hammer ship the r.rm and the Maelstrom (at least initially), that ship was an April Fool joke...
>>332391624

>Install Extra Systems

Well that was fucking underwhelming.
Guess I'll just go grab an Unsung and call it a day.
So I installed Scy Nation recently.
Is there supposed to be a second Freeport? Some planet named Tatarus also shows up in two different systems.
>>332402585
Maybe Scy might be bugged when combined with Nexerelin for now.
I'd sure love to try this game, but it simply does not launch.
There's no process in the background either or anything, it just immediately ends.
And googling gives you about 20 different threads that had a similar issue that all were caused by DIFFERENT things and ALL resolved in different ways, and none of them apply to me, making it seem like there is an endless amount of reasons this game simply won't launch for people.
>>332402802
That happened to me when I fucked with the opengl class when cracking the game. Make sure you can run opengl 2.0 at the very least.
Pastebin your specs and java version, senpai.
>>332402585
That's because the Prism Freeport is a feature from Scy that has been ported over in Nexerelin.
>>332397358
I velieve that you could find it in a station inside a system that is not shown on the hyperspace map. That was how it was like in 0.65, anyway.
>>332391624
Are those 12 heavy mounts?

FFS! I don't want to play 0.7.2 when 0.7.3 becomes available!
So how many of you are running 0.7.1 still?

6 large mounts

>>332393247
How is this legal?
Why isn't neutrino blacklisted in every modlist?
>>332407767
Probably because you're a faggot.
>>332407767
Because this isnt a multiplayer game where some faggot will cry because he is getting killed by OP ships. How rotten is your brain on a scale from 9 to 10?
I've got a question about game keys. I bought the game and got 1 key out of it.
Can i use the same key both on my main PC and laptop?
Just asking because im using a pirate ver on my laptop atm while my pc ver is legit (and has all the mods).
Should i reinstall on my laptop with the same cd key or just copy paste the stuff from my main pc?
is this a good enforcer loadout?
should i switch for a light needler instead?
>>332409863
why do you have 2 450 range and 1 long range primary weapon
its a very suboptimal loadout
>>332409863
get a HMG instead.
in fact, go for 2HMGs and an assault chaingun.
if you want to REALLY kill enemies, load up on reapers, 3 HMG, and two chainguns.
get engine mods also. unstable injector is good. why do you need IEA when you've got omni shields?
>>332409372
You can use the key everywhere, and it will stay present in your registry should you uninstall the game for a while.
>>332410552
couldn't find a proper HE weapon anywhere
>>332407767
Because they aren't really bad beyond the easter egg ships.
>>332410930
Assault Chaunguns arent bad, they jus tneed to be combod with heavy machineguns or other close range, high dps weapons
>>332396631
And where do i copy that?
>>332410930
Actually I think it's slightly more efficient this way: the ship will fire the needler while closing range but not waste its flux firing the chainguns on a shield.
>>332407767
You wanna talk about shit that should be illegal, try looking at any webm or gif of that fucking morpheus destroyer or w/e it is, it's complete fucking anime nonsense.
>>332409863
You don't give the AI anything that has a forward turbo boost because they just get themselves killed all the time.
>>332412168
true, true, but it will not have much flux to put pressure up close
>>332412397
Someone please post it
>>332412421
au contraire, an enforcer XIV with an aggro officer coated in PD weapons is an excellent "tank" for your fleet that can absorb all their finisher missiles and set up room for other ai fleetmates to mop shit up, just make sure to give it good orders
Really need some kind of diplomacy dialog options; if I'm deep into Luddite space I should be able to convince a hegemony fleet into a temporary alliance to kill the greater threat. I mean these guys are in enemy territory and they're gonna pick a fight with a corporation they don't like that much, just because, when we've both got a common enemy that is surrounding us on all sides; if they destroy my fleet and survive they're just going to get killed by luddites. Have some fuckin foresight, goddamn
>>332412526
I'd rather just give the AI something good to pilot.
>>332412397
You say that like it's a bad thing
>>332412604
By absorb I mean "shoot down and not get hit by, proceeding to rape the shit out of the closest target"
>>332412786
It's one step away from activating god mode and one hit kill cheats. No one looks at that fucking bullshit and is impressed at anything besides how blatantly broken it is.
TAKING BETS
WHO WILL WIN?
GOT 2:1 ODDS ON HEGEMONY FLEET WHEN PLAYING BY NUMBERS
>>332413247
Except it isn't? It has clearly defined weaknesses and requires constant attention to pilot. And for the price of one you could have a capital ship.
>>332413437
>Hyper Huta
>>332413480
>requires constant attention to pilot.
You mean like what the player piloting his ship normally does?
>And for the price of one you could have a capital ship.
Or you could have a maneuverable bullshit anime ship that accomplishes what the capital does, faster, with less deployment and repair costs. If the typical webm that gets posted with that dumbass ship instead featured an Onslaught vs an Onslaught, it'd be somewhat even. Instead it's a completely onesided fuck show where the enemy capital ship accomplishes absolutely dick while some anime piece of bullshit walks all over it.
>>332413775
Amen
>>332413683
THAT'S ONE BET FOR OUR HOMETOWN CONTENDER, HYPER FUTA, BUT IS IT ENOUGH TO SPUR HER ON TO VICTORY? WE'LL SEE
OUR HOME-GROWN-HERO DEPLOYS WITH A FULL COMPLEMENT OF OVER TWO DOZEN WANZERS, AN ECM DESTROYER, A COMBAT CARRIER, AND HER OWN PERSONAL FLAGSHIP. SHE MOVES INTO POSITION. WHAT KIND OF BATTLE WILL TAKE PLACE?
BETS ARE STILL OPEN AT 2:1 ODDS IN FAVOR OF HEGEMONY BY NUMBERS
>>332412456
>>332413775
Personally I think it's too strong too, although not as strongly as you suggest: It's mostly a dueling ship, it will rape anything in one-on-one; but in fleet action, a missed salamander or a phase ship/thunder sneaking in the back will disable its very exposed engines ultimately dooming the ship, or it will get gangbanged from two directions, or it will overuse it's system and start spinning uncontrolably....
Most webm show it in simulator battles against skill-less, officer-less ship, any ship would look blatantly overpowered in that situation.
tldr: WAY too strong in duel, somewhat too strong in fleet battles.
H.F.'S MOBILE SUIT BATTALION ARE SWARMING AN ENEMY FRIGATE, BUT HER FLAGSHIP WAS STRUCK BY A STRAY EMP MISSILE AND NOW HALF HER WEAPON SYSTEMS AND ENGINES ARE OFFLINE, ALL WHILE A PHASE-CAPABLE STRIKE FRIGATE IS HARASSING HER BACK LINE
CAN OUR UNDERDOG TRIUMPH OVER THESE ODDS?
BETS ARE STILL BEING TAKEN AT 2:1 ODDS IN FAVOR OF HEGEMONY FLEET
>>332413437
you will probably take some losses or just die outright.
but I bet you can scrape out relatively unharmed if you bunch up and pick them off one at a time while avoiding the onslaught.
>>332413437
human piloting the carrier
one destroyer
2? frigates
7 fighters aka insects
vs
1 captial ship
2 destroyers
8 frigates
2 fighter wings
theres no way you win, just sac the fighters and gtfo
how do I trick my computer into playing this game?
>>332414561
???
>>332413247
Not true. I'm impressed also because it's a pretty good design and has a unique situational ability (at least I think it's not found in vanilla.) It's fun to have a few joke ships like this and the Falken. If you're autistic about it, then you can just, you know, not use mods or at least not use the OP ships from them, which happen make up the vast majority.
>>332414635
my computer doesnt recognize the .exe extension type??
THINGS AREN'T LOOKING GOOD FOR OUR HEROES. PERHAPS THE UNDERESTIMATED THE MIGHT OF HEGEMONY?
>>332414931
shit nigga delete system32????
BETTING IS NOW CLOSED.
ALL MOBILE SUIT SQUADRONS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. ECM DESTROYER NON-OPERATIONAL. COMBAT CARRIER NOT RESPONDING. DSS FLEET FLAGSHIP DESTROYED AND SENT ADRIFT INTO THE HARD VACUUM OF SPACE. HYPER FUTA'S ENORMOUS, ANIME COCK IS DEAD AND USELESS WITHIN THE CONFINES OF HER DEFUNCT SPACE HULK.
SOMETIMES THE UNDERDOG WINS. SOMETIMES THE UNDERDOG BITES OFF MORE THAN IT CAN CHEW. BUT, AS ALWAYS, THERE ARE WINNERS AND LOSERS. REPORT TO YOUR NEAREST BETTING OFFICE TO RECEIVE YOUR PAYOUT.
>>332415340
hehe, do a letsplay man
>>332412397
That has the excuse of getting wrecked by beams and having the upkeep of a capital (despite being a light destroyer in terms of armor)
>>332404552
Neat.
What about Tatarus showing up in two different places?
Are hull mods worth it? They seem crazily expensive, considering that I need to sacrifice capacity or vents, and I never really know which ones I need to pick. I just use Augmented Engines on my slower ships.
>capture the Gilgamesh class
Holy sweet jesus, I am become death, destroyer of worlds
>>332416564
Yes.
>>332416564
I like the one that reduces flux from shilds
>>332413775
>kiting an enemy onslaught to death in a gay mjolnir onslaught is different from using timing based skills in a capital-logistics ship with high maintenance and destroyer tier survivability because im autistic
>>332416564
Hullmods are really powerful, the best ones are Augmented Engines, Integrated Targeting Unit probably
>>332416564
Depends on what you're going for.
A close range brawler REALLY benefit from Safety overrides.
Augmented engines are good for chaser ships (when you chase a retreating fleet) or to increase burn level (or both).
Tachion lance snipers love both the Integrated Targeting Unit and the Advanced Optics
Expanded missile racks for missile ships
If you're running Autopulse lasers/Scatter CEPC/SCY heavy pulsed lasers then Expanded Magazines work wonders
Hardened shields are good for High-Tech tanks (even better with officers with maxed Damage Control and Energy management), couple with Safety Overrides for maximum dissipation.
>>332414292
Morpheus is a cool ship, but why is it so unfun piloting it?
AI does okay because it's a wuss, but I've had way too many situations with it where I'm wrecking face and suddenly an engine gets hit by a beam and I'm spinning like a top into the middle of 10 ships
>>332416075
That's because Tartarus is a sub-system whithin Acheron. the Tartarus brown dwarf is present as a planet in Acheron and as a star in the sub-system. Iit's not exactly simple to wrap your head around at first, but that's because initially Scy was a hidden faction that you had to look for. Having the two systems was a way to mislead people.
So wanting a change of pace I decided to try out ironclads. Fucking hell I feel like I'm playing starsector for the first time again.
I have no idea how strong any of the weapons or ships are, I'll go into fight I think I can handle and get absolutely shit on. I've managed to be semi successful in this new save as a smuggler start but I'm not sure how to transition into the part where I blow up ships and have fun.send help
>>332417104
>close range brawler
>safety overdrives
Why did I never think of this before? It seems so obvious. Isn't it still going to get them killed very quickly?
>>332418129
Nigga, you will dissipate flux like a motherfucker and never have to worry about active venting leaving your ass naked.
Have you ever been raped by a bunch of Luddic Path ships? That's why!
>>332418129
wew lad I did not mean to post that picture
>>332417271
Ah, I thought it might've been something like that. So Acheron is the system with Tatarus and the Tatarus system is a "zoomed" in look of the planet?
>>332418704
Exactly. That's why you have a 3-way wormhole.
>>332419303
>>332418704
I need a image
So is this game complex? I'm kind of a dummy but I really dig momentum based space shooters and this looks like it has a lot of neat systems in play. Does it require a ton of learning in order to play?
>>332421126
Yes, it requires you to learn the game. Is learning it fun? If you're the right kind of person, yes. If you don't enjoy being fucked in the ass by a game and then assfucking it in return, you won't enjoy Starsector.
>>332388270
>want to pirate game
>couldn't get seeders
>buy game
>very disappoint
>dev is smart and made sure to early access it without steam to make sure NO REFUNDS
Well I'm stuck. I'm just going to try to enjoy this game but they make it so hard. The ship building part needs more UI and mouse over shits. I don't know what any of it means and the tutorial is only for flying your ships.
Where should I go to learn this game so I can actually enjoy it? What key features should I focus on learning?
>>332421325
Why would you buy this game if you don't enjoy hardcore single player games? Most of the joy of this game is figuring out how it works. Are you the kind of baby that can't have fun if they aren't rolling shit from day one?
Blow stuff up in the simulator, refit your ship, develop muscle memory, figure out your own style, go in the campaign and make everyone your bitch.
>>332421325
You can ask for a refund on the forum or by PMing the dev. On the other hand, true that game require some getting into, but after that it is really enjoyable.
>>332421325
There's also the arcade missions you absolute turbo faggot

>>332421325
>needs more UI
Yeah, it would be nice if you could filter weapons by size, mount type and damage type both in the customization screen and at the shop. How the shit is this not in the game after 6 years?
>>332421325
I wouldn't say the game is "too hard," but the fleets you get to start out with are usually unbelievably shit, especially if you have faction mods installed. Don't even bother playing as the vanilla factions unless its Tri-Tach if you have the faction mods installed. It's a nightmare to try fighting other fleets when seeming everyone, even pirates, has Wolfs with LR beams complimented by destoyers that will fuck your shit while frigates that zip back and forth and then zip back to vent flux flank you.
Avoid big fleets, and just hunt bounties, especially ones that give you money per ship killed.
>>332411214
>>332423534
Well, that's one of the easter eggs. That ship is supposed to only be used in the missions.
>>332422716

>>332423383
Yea I mean I fucking love shit like dwarf fortress great game. I think this game just has a learning curve that defiantly could be reduced is all.

also i really like that ship
