Waifumod when?
>>333154131
You can collect waifu officers if you use portrait packs, but that's it for now.
What could you do in a proper waifumod?
Is it just me or this supply mechanic is just artificial difficulty?
there's literally 0 reason to have it there and only serves as a stupid money sink and fuck up inventory management, and it also sucks when you have to travel far away
is there a way to disable this mechanic?
>>333154378
You can modify the config files to make the base price of supplies really cheap.
New SCY sprites when
Wasn't SCY just updated? Did the new sprites not make it in?
>>333155510
>>333155305

Well M&B has waifus, and since Starsector is literally M&B in spess, I don't see why we can't have waifus

Goddamn lazy ass modders, what do we even pay them for?
>>333157373
Pretty arcade-y, but very fun and has a lot of progression if you mod-up
>>333157478
Modders aren't paid at all. In fact Alex prohibits any modder from ever getting paid; there's a clause in the EULA for that.
>>333157691
Are you German?
>>333153350
Is there a way to increase the zoom level?Is that even considered cheating?
>>333157373
ship management in combat is pretty simple but you can customize each ships weapons and a few other things.
There some kind of pastebin for recommended mods and shit?
>>333157829

>>333157478
Joke asside, imagine how fast we would mod if we didn't had to get a day job to pay the bills!
>>333157691
That's true with one nuance: the EULA prohibits forcing players to pay for using the mod, but nothing prevents asking for donations.
>>333157879
http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=7679.0
All mods listed there are decent.
>>333154378
its actually pretty good
your just a fag
>>333157980
I wonder if Alex is ok with modders using Patreon; it's technically donations after all.
>>333157942
Thank you, rother, it was getting a kinda unconfortable.
>>333158002
Wow, there sure isn't a lack of mods to get through is there?
Thanks.
Is load scumming for a decent ship, cheating?
>>333154378
Consider the supplies to be a combination of ammo, food, utilities, non-hyperspace fuel, and such that are required to operate warships containing 200+ people.
>>333158369
There's a lack of 0.7.2 compatible mods though. A tonne of great ones aren't compatible with new versions and it sucks.
>>333158123
I'm pretty sure he would be okay if asked first. It's not like that would change something for him, and mods definitively have helped his game by keeping the comunity alive between his updates.
And there are already some donations buttons, although the amounts collected have been anecdotal at best as far as I'm aware. Which is not a surprise for such a small playerbase.
>>333158123
There is no problem asking for donations in any form, as long as your mod or any part of it is not locked behind a paywall of any kind.
>>333157879
Go on the forum, search starsector+, dowload all the reccomended
>>333158473
And 0.6 to 0.65 was far worse, it wasn't called the Modpocalypse for nothing. Survival of the fittest I suppose. Long gone is the 0.5 time with dozens of kitbash factions in varying states of polish.
>>333157023
Collect more destroyers via black market, or access nortia in the askonia system and get military hardware from the independents.
>>333157410
It was inevitable
>>333159501
The Modpocalypse cleaned the genepool though. Sadly, natural selection isn't perfect and some worthy mods were also lost.
Finally sat my ass down and done some shit. It's pretty rough but good enough I guess for people new to the thread at least.
Now if we can just get decent players to chime in.
>>333162706
Aaaaaand I just noticed the line spacing for the tip sections are too fucking huge. Fuck.
>>333162706
Two things:
You might as well link the troubleshooting thread on the forum for mod issues since not all of them are memory related
http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=10931.0
And ALL faction mods are compatible with SS+, but only the ones listed on the thread will have random variants ans special fleets.
>>333163003
Does that include vengeance fleets or does SS+ need to support them first too?
>>333163074
I think vengeance fleets are for every factions, but don't quote me on this. The one thing I'm sure is that only SS+ supported factions will have fleets archetypes like "Artillery" fleets, or "Fast Attack" fleets with matching variants.
>>333163003
I was going to include links but decided against it. I'll make some shortened links at least and paste it there somewhere.
Where the fuck i can buy Odyssey Capitals and Hyperion/Lasher frigates?
Tri-jews only? Still waiting with a decision to which faction i should join, atm i'm -100/100 with Tri-jews since i was hunting for their Astral Capitals.
>>333162706
>>333163514
I just noticed you mention data/config/settings.json, that is great but there are a lot of options jsons for SS+ and Nexerelin that have been moved to the root folder of the mods.
>>333163514
>>333162706
(And thanks for making that btw)
>>333162706
Looks good, just a pair of nitpicks because they made my autism flare up:
>It's best feature -> Its best feature
>which mods that supported it -> which mods that support it
Quite sure I saw some other small error somewhere but can't find it again.
>>333154378
>there's literally 0 reason to have it
You are incredibly stupid.
>>333162706
OMG OMG I always wanted to be a lazy worthless piece of shit who can't do anything on his own and needs everything spoonfed and now you made it possible. Awsum.
Thanks again, reddit :D Hope you make some more handholding cancer too like a pastebin or some video guides on how to unpack rar files and shit. Upvoted, friendo.

Yes, tri-tach only. Since you're already bengenful all you can do now is keep on ambushing tritach fleets and killing astrals until you can board one.

>mfw the victory battleship is better than the mod-paragon
Although the Mod Paragon can destroy smaller targets much easier, it takes way too long to get through the shields of some ships with just energy weapons. Namely the Paragon, Cathedral, and Medusa. For some reason many NPC Medusas have shields tougher than battlecruisers, I guess they're running with stabilized shields.
Six frontal medium kinetic weapons bring down the shields of everything, and four large HE weapons finish off everything. And now they've buffed the Conquest more, with an XIV variant to boot.
>>333166998
Standard Paragon doesn't care about these kinetic wapons behind its fortress shield. And it doesn't care about flanking either.
Slightly improved per many anon's advice.
>>333167468
Looks good! Thanks again.

>tfw no starsector multiplayer
I made the jump from vainilla and just started for first time SS+ with nexerelin and lot of mods.
Are all mods balanced? I want to start as Hegemony again but I don't want to get my butt fucked quickly.
Is there a tier list of how powerful mod factions are?
>>333167923
There's a graph around made by the modders that implies that Hegemony still reaches the highest amount of power.
Only final boss-mods like Templars outrank them.
Hegemony is still stronk, fear not.
>>333168137
Would be interesting to see that graph. Otherwise, that's good to know, I want to go with Hegemony again because those are the ships I know most.
>>333167923

tfw no Heron XIV
>>333171603
This is why I put a copy of every ship I like in the Omnifactory. At worst, you lose one for a week but you'll get a never ending supply for the rest of your playthrough at least.
>>333170039
>9 burn massive kill fleet
Now that's what I call terrifying.
Reminder that holding shift while travelling speeds up time.
Reminder that holding shift while buying things will produce a slider for you to use.
Reminder that ctrl+clicking an item automatically puts the whole stack in the opposite inventory without having to drag to other side. For example, 20 metal ores from your hull inventory to a trade station and vice versa. Still need to confirm trade, of course.
Reminder that hunter kill fleets will always track you no matter how hard you hide, but you can escape them easily by running them through hostiles or warping out.
Reminder to use agents to boost your relations and ruin others. Relation ruining is randomized out of your faction's enemies or neutrals.
>>333171775
You monster.
So, i started the game as my own faction and on hard mode
I got myself a lone frigate (shit frigate omg) and 10k money
should i get myself a shuttle for 7k, so it can hold cargo for me? i don't intend on using it on combat since it's so weak
>>333172854
Remember that when you're disengaging/fleeing, your entire fleet is being chased. The enemy's faster ships like attack frigates and the likes can start out ahead on the sides while the bigger things start out at the bottom. So, that shuttle might git fukt.
In my current run I have 3 nicely fast and powerful frigates that I tell to retreat while I hover around in the shrimp ship and rape the shit out of whatever small frigate that feels like coming in fast from the side to attack mine.
>>333172639
You know you want it
>>333172854
No, shuttles are never worth it. You need to work on a better ship for yourself.
So, i started the game as my own faction and on hard mode
and then i lost the lone frigate (shit frigate) you start with
but then i got a wolf ship and holy shit, phase skimmer is good as hell
where can i buy more ships like this one? i wanna have a wolf fleet
i searched alot but couldn't find another one in shops
>>333173794
in the faggot store
>>333173794
Become the Tri Tach jew
>>333173328
Shuttles can be useful in the super-early game, specifically the one with 3 universals. Put 3 salamanders on it, or 2 tac lasers and 1 salamander, then manually order it to attack something together with you.
>>333171696
That's like, endgame shit right there.
Help I've used the save transfer from the updated ss+ and now I can't find any ibbs from any market. Any idea what caused it?
>>333174601
They usually start after a couple of months.
>>333174505
Oh, you mean like how the challenges end once you get a Medusa, so that you have reached "end game"?
>>333174772
Pretty much.
>Hate the turret coverage of the Maelstrom, love the look of it.
Damnit, just gimme a Maelstrom with 2 more Mediums in place of the Large, and better turret coverage. I'd be happy as hell.
>>333174772
Medusa's are garbage.
If you think the ship is too OP, don't fly it.
>Diable Avionics
>Known for Missile munitions saturation
>Literally only has like 3 missiles, one for PD, one light-antiship & one PD saturation missile.
Ch'mon man.
Which ship is the most broken and why is it the Neutrino unsung class?
>>333175884
>implying I'd fly a Medusa
Disgusting.
>>333176049
The ACTUAL theme of DA is Wanzers and ships that look like red spikes of various sizes. The missile spam is just spice.
>>333176049
Stack it with Quad Laser Torpedo racks and Neutrino Plasma Torpedo's. The Plasma Torpedo's slowly respawn while the Laser Torpedo's will absolutely fucking ruin any ship that is overloaded or has its shields down. I don't use diable missiles on any diable ships except maybe 2 Banishes.
>>333176049
Magic-box PD,
Micro-Missile saturation/attrition missile,
Thunderbolt anti-ship missile,
Plover anti-ship rocket,
Thrush antiship/saturation missile,
Banish torpedoes.
>>333173794
I've bought metric fuckton of wolfs from Hegemony, pick related.
All upgraded with additional engine power matching and even out speeding Lasher frigates.
>>333176425
Magic Box PD is best kept off of cruisers and larger. They're really not that good and are very contextual. The laser PD Diable has is far better. I usually put Magic Boxes on frigates or destroyers or the over-sized Wanzers no one uses because their flux isnt fixed and it's a useless ship until it is.
Micro Missiles are only good with the Wanzers, as 12 Wanzers shooting 2 each of those every few seconds will overload a small ship but putting them on anything above a destroyer is a waste of a slot.
Thunderbolt, Plovers, Thrush, and Banish are all decent at their assigned roles and when combined properly are great missiles.
>>333176049
Buy some plovers and Banishes and shut the fuck up my friend, Diable is great.
>>333176284
>>333176284
Laser Torpedoes? Who the hell carries those?
How do you call your ships?
I called my first mudskipper ISS Obama and kept rolling with USA presidents
>>333176720
I believe Laser Torpedo's are SCY tech. I always see them for sale in SCY shops and aesthetically they fit the SCY ships. They don't respawn during battle and so you have a limited ammo pool, but the damage they do is fantastic.
>>333176712
>>333176712

SCY doesn't work with 7.2 tho does it?
>>333173328
It would be a pain to deal with if it appears in the bounty fleets. Sure, it might be slower, but it will be tougher, and that will make it even more annoying to kill as an enforcer.
>>333173794
You can find them often in the military tab on the shipyards, or in black markets.

I sold 2 millions worth of harvested organs to a pirate planet (not the pirate faction tho, they hate me) and now, every few days, my reputation with neutral and blackrock keeps decreasing by 4.
It's a bug, or i just pissed off them so badly they are going to be mad for a while?
>>333177570
It shouldn't be keep decreasing, unless you have a faction doing weird stuff. I think you're bugged.

I put them on Maelstrom's extra missile slots. Have been doing everything wrong all this time? I want to spam missiles all day erry day and it's the only decent regenerating missile I could find.
Help? Not sure what I could be doing wrong?
>>333179248
>>333179469
God damn it. The entire story can't be lewd.
>>333180205
Doesn't the Maelstrom come with a built in salvo of Micro Missiles that you use by pressing F? It's the ships main feature, am I correct?
Use those missile slots for actual damage dealing missiles- Anti Ship missiles, Laser Missiles, or heavy Torpedo's. ESPECIALLY if your ship COMES with salvo's of micro missiles, there's no need to put on any more.
>>333179248
Where is this character originate from anyway? It appears to be everyone's preffered captain yet I don't recognize it.

>>333180783
>Doesn't the Maelstrom come with a built in salvo of Micro Missiles that you use by pressing F? It's the ships main feature, am I correct?
It's no different than the onslaught's TPC. It's in the weapon number designation screen.
>>333180662
Have it about a Hegemony or pirate that keeps happening upon really hightech super shit by mining or capturing in a fight but shortly after every time there's a large Cabal fleet wanting him to give it over.
Then after a bit he rounds up some buddies and they go fuck those space Vanu and get back the cool hightech shit.
>>333181260
I fucking like the cut of this jib. I can write that.
I haven't updated to 0.7.2 and therefore haven't interacted with Cabal. Someone give me a link on Cabal or the low-down on how they work and I will start writing.
I did some initial searching but can't find fuck all about Cabal.
>>333181034
>Anti-air with magicboxes

It's like you don't know the meaning of missile superiority.
>>333181385
Should be some more info on Cabal on SS+'s page.
>>333181385
Cabal are basically bright purple religion-ish assholes that constantly hound people to ""donate"" nice things, like high tech ships. If you don't have anything they want, they laugh at how poor you are then fight.
>>333181558
So it's an anime faction pyramid scheme? Great. I can mock this.
What is the rank of our Hegemony Captain? Is he original 14th Legion descendant or is he just a commissioned officer?
>>333181765
I'd say make him some new or low rank. He just happens upon all the really cool high tech phase ships whether hidden in the crevice of an asteroid or on a planet, or by capturing it in a fight from some pirate asshole that also happened upon it but stupid shenanigans happens to make him lose it to the Hegemony captain. Also could have one thing he finds is a cache on a planet full of TACHYON LANCES but since he has an older Hegemony frigate not only are they too big for it, but his ship only has ballistics and missile placements.
Possibly could have something about the Cabal fleet constantly phasing in after he gets the nice things because in game they're like pirates and constantly have transponder off or go dark, but since they're like Tri-Kike you can have the "go dark" be more like "advanced phasing shit".
Some phase ships already have a hull mod effect where going dark cuts their detectable range down further.

It would be hard to fight, but I like to fly Fleets that are entirely themed. I really want a good XIV theme Carrier. I gained a new battleship, which is nice, but the Herons are an eyesore.
>>333184178
Mixed theme's are the best. Each group sans the OP garbage like Approlight has enough weakness to justify being covered by another Corporation's ship type.
Neutrino + Diable Master Race here, with the occasional Hiigarian Cruiser. Red/Grey is so damn fine.
I'm sort of sad at how difficult it is to edit ship colors. I would like to make my own follower ships have a custom tinge to the armor but since each ship is hard-colored to their original faction you can't have gold Neutrino ships or red Imperial ships and that makes me sad as fuck.
>>333180783
The large bullshit fleets I've been dealing with needs unlimited missiles otherwise, those missile mounts will become useless midway through a fight.
>>333184480

Applying the crack causes a fatal error. Any advice?
>>333184676
Have you considered
>Buying the Game
>>333184676
Buy the game if can't crack it...
>>333184676
it is one of the few actually good indie games, if you are too stupid to crack it, then maybe just buy it. Hate to be one of these guys but for this game its ok.
>>333184676
Use winrar instead of winzip or 7zip.
>>333184590
>Hiigarian ships are OP because they are fast
I don't know how to tell you this, but I lose Hiigarian ships more than I lose any other ship in my fleet. I properly outfit them and put proper captains in them too. Hiigarian ships are top tier but not OP tier by any means. They're less OP than Appro and Templars but more OP than low-tech factions like Hegemony an Imperium.
>>333185183
Your subjective inability to create a decent fleet does not change the fact that Hiigarans is overpowered bullshit.
>>333184480
I'm fine with having a weakness like "Too many guns, fly too slow"
>>333185183
I lose them as well, it is called aggressive pilot m8. What is a proper captain to you? Has to be a pussy one for hiigarians as they are too fast. Appro shits all over templars and hiigarian is up to par with templars imho. Templar is beatable with vanilla, no prob at all but being run down in your frigate by a fucking cruiser is 100% OP. I fucking love playing hiigarian myself but pretending that its not OP is just silly.
>>333167468
where is the crack though

>>333185324
Other factions have more Ordinance Points. Other factions have better weapons. Other factions have higher armor. The only thing Hiigarians have for them is speed, which afaik is being nerfed in the updates anyways.
My fleet composition is perfectly fine. You think Hiigarian ships are OP, and I'm telling you Hiigarian ships are high-top tier but aren't game breaking. There are plenty of other factions that also have game-breaking ships if piloted by the player. Ever put warpspeed railguns and Approlight medium-energy machine guns on the broadsides of a Banshee Norn? Or fielded ten Versatile Wanzer clusters?
>>333185594
Proper is Cautionary and Steady, as my Hiigarian ships are supposed to be middle-line behind attack cruisers and the capital ships, providing defense rolls and making sure the enemy doesn't flank.
>>333185695
that's where the weed goes
>>333185785
>Ever put warpspeed railguns and Approlight medium-energy machine guns on the broadsides of a Banshee Norn? Or fielded ten Versatile Wanzer clusters?
Your point of reference is already so way off that your arguments are worthless to a player with a more grounded view of what balance entails

I won't pay for anything made in Java. Besides, what kind of idiot leaves their system wide open by having the JRE installed on it unless it's required to run something made in-house for a specific purpose at a business?
>>333153350
How do I into large fleet battles? I'm pretty good at small combats and using small ships but the game is forcing me to up my fleet size with big destroyers. I usually roll with two destroyers and 4 frigates to cover for my destroyers. What should I do? I'm getting rekt by carriers and fighters, by 5 destroyers gangbanging me. I have the money to buy a huge ass ship but I don't know what to do.
What do? Pls help
>>333185967
There is LITERALLY nothing wrong with appro-chan. also does someone have the Tiandong 7.2 community patch or can i just run the 7.1 version?
>Mimir on independent military
I'm tempted, but man is that thing ugly
>>333185946
I'll take your edited and balanced files that you've edited then, since you've been following the game for years and understand the true vision of the game creator. Please upload your modified Hiigarian files so they are not so OP!
Since you have a grounded view of what balance entails without actually defining what that is, please inform the plebians enjoying the game and outfitting their ships about how wrong they are and what a real fleet composition should look like.
Should I remove templars, BDRY, and Neutrino too? They seem like they're pretty unbalanced.
Please, give me the knowledge so I can become as smug as you about this game in Alpha 0.7.2
>>333186113
I am 99% sure its called Hiigarian descendants. What is your autism issue now m8?
>>333186184
>Everything in Java is worthless and do not deserve my money
>But I still very much want to play this game
Logic is so hard for some people.
>>333186476
Nope it's Hiigaran Descendants.
But yes I got my autism triggered. Not as bad as dealing with Medusas at low level though.
>>333186673
Enemy ai cannot fly medusa properly at all though. You can easily take em on with a few frigates. Your own medusa can wipe out cruisers, kek. Also take your autism meds m8, who gives a shit about 1 fucking letter, esp if its a fictional fan made mode name?
>>333185785
>Warspeed Railguns
>Good
Uhh, wat?
Guys currently Officers can get 20 levels and full skill need 4 levels to max so it give 5 full skills.
Problem is that its impossible to get half 5 max level of skill.
It is possible to make Officers get 30 levels with skill increase 2 instead 3? So maxing skill take 6 levels and half max take 3 levels?
Plus increasing rate they gain exp.
>>333186419
But anon, everything you said was factually wrong, so why should I respect your opinion when you haven't even bothered to do your research?
Anyone have that portrait pack?
The messy one some anon made?
>>333187127http://www.mediafire.com/download/i5fv2c6a68po3va/Messy_Portrait_Pack.zip
Also is there some mod that add some low/medium factions that use similar to vanilla stuff and add some systems in vanilla star map?
Playing Nex and Hegemonia take everything.
>>333187121
So Hiigaran ships have more Ordinance Points than the other factions? They have more armor than other factions?
Direct comparisons demonstrate those are not factually incorrect statements.
What happens to your Followers if you take a commission?
yo, where da crack at ?
>>333187374
They have way out of line burn levels up until capitals, freeing up OP by making it unnecessary to ever mount engine hullmods, extremely hard shields coupled with flux stats comparable to the best vanilla examples, various strange stat choices that show a lack of ability to create a set of strengths and weaknesses, such as cruisers with near lowtech-level armor and hightech-level flux/shield performance, the list goes on.
The end result is a faction of bricks that just melt anything that gets within range before they can retaliate. Best of all, they do this for logistics stats that are tuned completely wrong and way lower than they should be, making them the best option available to the player in 99% of cases.
>>333188163
nothing. I joined a faction and my followers still controlled planets and gave me a salary, its just that when you join a faction anything new you take gets added towards the faction, not your own. This was back in 7.1 so i dont know if anything has changed since then
>>333186281
pls respond ;_;
Babby's first Onslaught. What do I even put on this thing. This has been working out so far but I imagine most things will.
And what faction mods are not overpowered? I really want more factions but I hate all this sooper edgy op mod crap.
>>333188620
I heard the Shadowhedge corporation and Edge Incorporated are pretty good
Where's the messy portrait pack? I need more QTs in my starsector, the pack on the forums doesn't have enough
I'm having a lot of fun with NGO
- good armor
- lots of big weapon mounts for lots of glorious Alpha Particle Lances
- barely any missile mounts
- not that many weapon mounts overall, so I ended up using OP on lots of sub systems
- Diable or any fighter-heavy fleet is terrifying to fight against because I sacrificed some PD for more direct damage

>>333189146
how long does it take to vent in that thing, one presidential term?
>>333189209
Considering I don't have Dedicated Conduits yet, we're looking at a two-term president.
>>333189347
Why not just flip it so you have 22 vents though? It's a low tech ship, you can afford to use armor over shields, so cap isnt that important.

>>333157023
Follow more powerful fleets as they attack their enemies. Fire a few tracking missiles. Get spoils you didn't earn.
>>333189610
My combat doctrine has been overload the enemy before they can overload me so I've been pumping capacity to compensate. That's just kinda what I've been doing but in large battles between invasion fleets/defense fleets it understandably doesn't work. I'll try out the vents, thanks.
>>333190006
Try it out, it's very comfortable. It would also let you vent between shots of the Gungnir Cannon when you aren't facing serious pressure. With this style, you win slugfights by tanking stuff on armor and blocking HE with quick shield toggles. Which is imo how low tech should be played.
>Get my third big ship.
>My fucking face when the supplies necessary.
I'm having panic attacks.
Holy shit, i got myself a nice Wolf and i was simulating it in combat, when i saw a morose green ship at the screen and thought "whew, TIME TO TEST MY SHIP VS A KLINGON WAR BIRD TOP KEK"
and then this motherfucker right here started to dance like a gay ass ballet dancer whenever i would get close to him, phase jumping or some shit, so i can't hit him at all.
how am i supposed to fight against one of these fuckers?
and most importantly, which faction is he from? i wanna get one of these motherfuckers for myself!
>>333190973
>Find system with regular kill shit, get money bounties

enjoy getting rekt by missiles, fighters and flux overload when you meet some challenge.
>>333192854
I have a 1000 marines and have wrecked at least six cathedrals but haven't got the chance to capture it once.
At least I can laugh at you.

>>333191319

Goddamnit.
>>333191201
I'm certain that ship is from Shadowyards. They have a cruiser sized phase ship as well.

>Those X-Ray effects when the torpedo's burst
Finished my Corvus campaign, what factions am I installing that arerelativelybalanced?
>>333187097
So it works.
Problem is that instead of getting from 9 skill level into 10 it get into 11.
Anyone can advice?
I'm thinking of doing a pirate run with only a single maxed out star system with all the factions available. Without a prism freeport.
>>333195652
Everything that isn't Templars.
>>333193858
So, the nemean lion reloads any missiles in those 3 large slots
What do you fit in them? I usually fit 2 laser torps and one storm needler, for hard flux damage.
It is so satisfying being able to launch those kickass fuck you missiles knowing you can regenerate them.
What's a good loadout for when it is in the hands of the AI?
>>333196275
Thanks for the report, that will be corrected in the next update.
>>333196850
nooooooo
fuck you, I liked that. Don't be no fun allowed.
>>333183336
I'd send my torpedo up her rear.
>done at least 15 IBB since the update
>still haven't gotten to board one
>>333195981
It's a shame that the only thing that can defeat Templars is either Templar weaponry or Approlight weaponry.
I've been trying different build types for a couple of weeks from vanilla and a few modded factions against templar ships and unless you are using weapons with a range of MINIMUM 900 you won't be defeating any templars.
>>333197470
>beat tiny baby templar ships with superior numbers

>hunt tri-jews for their sweet ass capitals

I feel ya.
Ayy let me know what you niggers think about my shit mod. It's a lot offunto make ships. I want to make a custom hullmod that increases hyperspace sensor range and put it on the recon wings but I need to learn how to actually mod first, rather than using a ship editor for all my life. Maybe a hullmod that allows one of the wings to capture faster?
>>333195981
Neutrino can be a little unbalanced late in game, and the same can be said for diable.Approlight goes without saying
>>333198489
Now make frigates, destroyers, cruisers and capital ship and i can dig it.name of the capitall will be Shogun right?
