Alviss is the best guy. The only guy in the Sector trying to do his very best, like no one ever was. Alviss comes across more like a 30 something year old middling academic who is just a little scatter brained, and an eternally cheerful but incredibly put upon secretary. Just naive enough to honestly enjoy being nice everyone but still savvy enough to know how to deal with euphemism and understatment. He has the energy of a man who is being hurried and harrased through his life but is just trying to do his best. The little dialogue option to say thank you to him really hits it home.

I play modded, there are missions where people ask for ships that they can buy from your fleet. Rare ships or factional playthroughs always encounter these and you can generally sell back ANY ship and always get those points back. I like the new update.

With your deep knowledge of the game I think it would be awesome to see a series doing ironman + some arbitrary restrictions that make survival difficult, e.g: - only scavenged ships allowed (no buying / events / colony prints) - choose one faction, set the rest to -100 hostile and keep them that way at the start of the game; survive as long as possible - only carriers, tankers, and salvage rigs (with any mods) allowed in the entire fleet; no strictly military ships (or any one military ship at any given time, previous must be scuttled) - all of the above? If there's anyone out there capable of doing challenges like this and make insightful and entertaining situational commentary it would probably be you!

Man this content is so great. Of course it's interesting to see full fleet builds and such, but seeing your process making decisions as you play is way more insightful. At some point I will graduate from "follow this recipe for good ships" to "in this particular situation, here are some solid options." I let the hostile activity meter tick up in my current playthrough because I didn't really know what I was doing. I didn't colonize an ideal system, I have AI cores running everything, etc. I have to destroy pirate/pather bases and AI inspection fleets every few months. But I feel like I should be able to make my system strong enough to handle these things somehow, even if it takes more development than is possible right now.

While I haven't been testing it, being neutral or friendly with pirates would help mitigate activities against the colonies due to underground connections. Like in the previous version, pirate contacts would give me a heads up on upcoming raids and smugglers to take advantage of.
@MrKadulal
@MrKadulal 11 ай бұрын
Another way i would go about this. is not really removeing the "hostile inpact" pasive penalty and make it so they are a consequence of failing to deal with the events, and have it either works as like raids do as they last a couple of in-game months and it goes away or as part of a secondary tracker that you can mediate via more passive methods. In fact! did you know that you can negotiate with the boss of the pirate bases so you basicly pay them "protection money" so they leave you alone? It makes it so the base penalty becomes a positive plus a extra bonus, for exchange of 10% gross income i belive.

i ran a pirate friendly run when the update dropped. your hostile impact meter just goes through the roof because you can't kill "enemy" fleets to lower the threat. i was also not antagonistic to the ludds. i abandoned the game because there were tons of huge pirate fleets roaming around my sector doing nothing much except intercepting other factions' fleets. it broke the immersion for me. hopefully he tweaks it. it kind of ruined my early game income strat by having a lvl 3 free port with light industry/drugs in mayasura to be abandoned later when i find a nice system. oh well.

The hostile activity system as it is now seems half-baked. You can get around the annoyances of it by making deals with the factions, but that just feels like neutering the system entirely. I hope it gets fleshed out a bit more with later patches.

Standard procedure for dealing with pirate bases attacking my colonies: Sell(junk/excess metal, food, organics etc.) to the pirates before you kill them. Check. Raid the base with marines to get their supplies. Check. Kill the base. Check. Salvage. Check. P.S. The ECM skill is pretty strong IMO. If you use small ships and "wolfpack" tactics that is. Works especially well with the "Support doctrine" skill. Fielding centurions for 3 DP that give you 1% ECM literally guarantees the 10% range penalty in 98% of the fights. I haven't tested with the AI ships recently though. My experience with them is from the .95a times.

Oh my god your ending rant about how you used a tempest-only-fleet just sent a jolt through my brain since that is the exact same way I did my first playthrough after buying one! Please tell me you also went to the forums and looked at Cums(hah) builds for tempests haha, I absolutely loved the powered up phase lanced that could one shot most frigates if timed right, too bad that when I recently got back to the game I got slapped on the face with the underwhelming suicide bombers that I will never use (because as you said: 20 seconds without additional PD support and damage) and the ultimate Nerf that put Doom from a maneuvrable flagship to a god damn dominator style of play 😭 (Yes I know there are now specialized systems tou can put to make them better and combat skills but it still takes wuite the investment just to flagship it decently!) Omens thankfully didnt get hit! Still fast as a kite and hard to kill as a monitor while being just as deadly as brawler, so hey at least we got that going for high-tech.

Im going ahead with the assumption that gargoyle is canonically nonbinary because; the androgynous portrait, the game literally never refers to them with gendered terms/pronouns, it just calls gargoyle "the hacker", they even fit the nonbinary stereotype of naming themself after a random ass english word. Or the devs just wanted to make a really androgynous character with no clues as to whats under their pants and see how people react. I just wanted to point this out *somewhere*

Yeah, thanks for your input! I'm kinda blind to these things and now that you point it out it does seem like they were writing in that direction. My brain originally read Gargoyle as being a (maybe bi?) man dressed in a cyberpunk-ish aesthetic. The fact that they don't use gendered pronouns for the whole game never caught my attention. I've lived my whole life in a small town and never met any non-binary people so the whole thing is a bit strange and foreign to me.
