A tip for your problem with the shipyard "ribs": when you copy something, you can hold ALT to select what part is the base of the paste.

[@sigvar6795]

Very Instructional, clearly presented. I have only recently returned to this game.. I make slow progress though cause I play too many games. The curse of Steam!

How viable do you think it'd be to build one of these very early game in a sector not far in that's still continually plagued by low power pirates? Was thinking to snag an asteroid template from the workshop, load it up with bolters and let it smash tons of low power pirates then come in and go on a salvage drone spree while my main warship protects the drones with the help of the station.

[@JosephDiveley]

The only problem I see with this video is that your using tech you got from the middle when most who are watching this wont yet have that tech because they haven't made it past the ring yet. 2 xaniun rail guns are not going to demolish a fleet of ships. I like how you show the difference in middle weapon tech vs xanion tech. You can use this method pre-ring by using xanion tech in the titanium region. I would just use a bit more turrets. What I prefere to do though is just never sell a mine claim and build all the mines you want in friendly areas where they will defend though mines for you. Then work your way till you can build just one decent ship to camp out in a war zone of xanion area right next to the ring if possible while using a fleet of 120 xanion r salvage on a carrier. Help with the fights and then earn crazy salvage. IF you get REAL lucky then you might gain an oganite or avorian weapon for salvage from alien invaders and walah! you have have now gotten into the ring with no dumb quests once you make a tiny Avorian hyperdrive block =)

[@helloman1976]

First you get $10,000,000,000 gold...next you build a giant asteroid with the top parts in the game, simple. Then, you build the top ship in the game, mine the hell out of everything and win. It's easy.

[@shrikegaming9765]

I just did this in the iron region with a titanium ship. Pirate to make money, sell asteroids and spend it on a mine. I do it all the time without out all these resources. It just takes time and can be frustrating to build up the material and cash.

Hi Great vid thanks for sharing. Just wondering how big is your save game? mine seems to be getting bigger like its pregnant... And does it take a while to load the game between systems?

[@matthiasschleiden739]

While I did love the practical aspects shown, there are some informations missing... WHEN do you actually set up your home base? Is it something you do as late as you did, when you're in the ogonite/avorion sectors and the universe is yours, or practically as soon as you are in the trinium sectors and can afford the upfront cost of 100M (200M?) credits and the resources? What are the realistic costs and the benefits to home sector?

[@shrikegaming9765]

It's a old video, this was before many of the changes. I am working on a new one. This was geared more for the player who was doing the whole empire building and PvP game. You can play the whole game without ever building a station or a mine. It's a lot harder now with the changes to the economy.

[@matthiasschleiden739]

@@shrikegaming9765 Thanks a bunch for the quick reply. Is it more, or less profitable to set up sectors now? I've been on a 2-ish year long hiatus from Avorion (first playthrough was a rush through the zones without empire building, ended after final boss) and on this one I'm just now hitting trinium sectors as a dirt poor flying box xD So was kind of wondering if it's worth going for some passive income generation.

[@shrikegaming9765]

@@matthiasschleiden739. The stations and mines are much more profitable than before. New supply and demand makes passive income worth it. Before you could pirate and make billions, now that's not possible and forces you to " work" for your money. If you have Discord, I will be on in about 2 hours if you need some help.

[@DurzoBlunts]

Is there any benefit to hiding quarters or generators inside the asteroid itself or is HP shared regardless of location on the ship? Sorry new player here.

[@shrikegaming9765]

Yes, hide them under some plating. Otherwise they can be destroyed easy.

[@platiuscyndar9017]

There's a certain block that allows the sharing of HP, but always hide internal blocks regardless

just bought the game, cant wait start playiung but i can tell ya im gonna screw up olot probably first xD

[@shukthy]

I’ve just bought this game yesterday. How long did it take you to get where you are now during the making of this video. Also how did you get all the ores and money etc. as beginner what are the things should I prioritize.

[@6StimuL84]

Quite awhile to get to his level of knowledge. Just look at all the systems he has explored and what he teaches everyone.

[@jjay2771]

You can make some good money early by looking for claimable asteroids with F9, they take no investment to claim you just need to find them. There is a system that gives you can indicator if there is one in the system and highlights it when you get close. Its easier now as you can leave a separate set of mining ships in another system with captains and leave them to mine a system while you explore or whatever. You can even pop out of your main ship and order it to mine or salvage and go fly around with your drone then just jump back to the ship by right clicking the sector on the map.

[@shukthy]

I’ve claimed like 6-8 already. I’ve killed lots of pirates and get like 20k to 43k each time. Like you said I have made mining ship and got like 150-180k iron ore and sold half. And in total I got over 2.3 million. However This dude here got billions of credits and owns tons of high level ship, factories and mining ship. I want the secret of getting that much

[@jjay2771]

@@shukthy It will take awhile to get into the billions and lots of factories but start raiding and you can make millions easily to start factories and mines, you will want to keep moving towards the centre for better ores though so you can make fighters and shields. Its easier if you can find a faction war happening while jumping around the interior you can just pick a side and have an instant positive faction. Its annoying going across dead space early on but you can find bosses and eventually get jump cores to go further with the good ores so getting back is easier.

I see you put some “webbing”, you said, in the back of the tug? So you can see the shrunken asteroid is in there. This looks like the best way. I tried building a cage on the nose of my miner, built around an asteroid, but it bounced out. What's this webbing? I'm gonna try the same with framework.

[@shrikegaming9765]

This is a old video. The docking procedure works much better. If you reduce the size of the station or asteroid to be much smaller than your ship, it will dock much easier.

[@Baleur]

First off, thank you for an informative video, it really helps. Secondly however, you're spending 10 minutes to provide 1 minute worth of information, because you're re-explaining the exact same topics several times over. I'm 9 minutes in now and i'm talking to my screen "Yes i KNOW its between trinium and so forth, yes i KNOW you have wormholes there, yes i KNOW its important to be near resources, you said this for 9 minutes already, can we PLEASE move on to the actual building?" xD Elon Musk is so right about our "data output cap" as human beings. God we need neural-link instead of vocal communication asap xD

[@shrikegaming9765]

It's more about less questions. I can say something but it doesn't mean people who are watching the video didnt skip that part. You have any idea the number of questions people ask even if I state the answer in the video....lol. it can be a bit repetitive, but clarifying over again and again seems to keep the questions to a minimum.

[@Bluelight82]

I'm often watching the video while I do other stuff, and having things repeated is not a bad thing! So I agree with Shrike Gaming that it's important to make a point, but I also agree that it's maybe not needed to do it over and over. This is not too bad though! ​@Shrike Gaming I wanna ask you if you have any Blueprints on ships available that I can use? Thanks for making good Avorion content! :)

Could it be that claimable asteroids have become significantly more rare since this, or am I just incredibly unlucky? I've scouted about a dozen blocks (those 10x10 sector things) with an exotic object finder subsystem (perma-install and hitting "find objects" in every sector of course), and only found at best 1 claimable asteroid per entire block. So for 10-20 mines, I'd need an unwieldy 10-20 blocks _at least,_ not 4... 🥺
