Cosmoteer: Starship Architect & Commander - Ep 3

[@RobertGardnerEngineer]

IF you hit Ctrl+M you will add a marker to your map, so once the system is safe, you can know where the wrecks are for looting.

[@mrsamiam7872]

FYI 1. all types of ammo are near worhless to sell and are not worth picking up if you are not using it. 2. You can right click on the harvest pickaxe icon to filter it (aka ignore ammo) 3. Generally it is better not to sell enriched uranium as you lose a lot of value by selling it, stations don't often carry it in large quantities and storing it takes up minimumal space.

[@bigdog91paper]

As far as capacitors are concerned, its not really for making up for not having as much power generation as recommended. Its really more to reduce lag in delivery. If you have an energy consumer thats too far away it's possible that when it requests a charge it can take too long to get from the reactor to the consumer before it runs out. A capacitor close by allows a buffer that is okay if it takes a while for new energy to get there while not starving the actual consumers.

[@FlyingwithFire]

it also allows to you to stockpile befoofre battle

[@DFPercush]

Just be careful cause I think the crew can only carry one battery from a capacitor at a time. A medium and large reactor will let them carry more batteries per trip. But it's been a while since I messed with it.

[@AceStrife]

@@DFPercush Yeah I ran into this issue with a megaship, built like 8 capacitors near the edges with 2 large reactors in the middle. Turns out my crew spends so much time just hauling 3x cells to the capacitor then 1x to the individual parts that I actively run out of power just, doing anything. But putting reactors near the edges results in, well, your demise... It's time to look at ships other people have designed; I'm too dumb to min/max this stuff.

[@abdoobaset6100]

Space Quail 18 era is real and I love it

[@AenghusAlpha]

Thanks fior the gameplay. Crew work through corridors faster than storage rooms, you generally want corridors to connect source and destination components eg. power and guns.

[@andyschannel687]

Cool, new ship design. I'm really enjoying this series. Keep them coming!

[@diegoveka1170]

rockets flying around your ship and hiting you into your back ;)

[@PamdaDev]

Would love to see more of this game

[@gordonswain2396]

I'm enjoying this series, please continue and explore more about the shipbuilding

[@ImmyDxB]

This was similar to StarDrive back in the day, This game however has taken it to the next level. Just bought it. Thank you Quill18 for showing us these types of games

[@Gabino-zk9ov]

Quill, this LP has convinced me to go and buy this game. Thanks! Now, if yu want more acceleration, just add a couple more storage bays and stick a couple more small thrusters pointing down straight to the sides.

[@TheDoctor35]

finished watch ep 2 wishing for ep3 and boom just released happy days now i want ep4

[@svanginault]

Loving the videos man.. Got back into this gem of a game . One tip I learned especially early game, When you are doing those rescue missions on the platforms.. stay nearby and let them attack it for a couple minutes.. You let them almost kill it and come in and save the day.. You'';; be able to scavenge a whole ton of stuff before they repair

[@Zyvrond]

Just for your information, you have 'mirror mode' (bottom left corner I believe) that let's you build both sides of the ship simultaneously

[@Aqualightnin]

one thing i think you missed is that energy from the medium core instead of the small are worth double energy too, so literally half the hauling once you get it.

[@Thanaeon]

The damage to the back in the end was because some of the missiles the enemy was firing you didn't come at you straight. (Some did, but not all.)

[@anumeon]

To paraphrase chancillor Gorkon of the Klingon empire... "Don't let it end this way, Quill18" Please continue playing this wonderful game.. Just noticed that the idle hand is the Vulcan greeting.. :)

[@andrewwood7362]

corridors are very very important because your crew move faster than through other things like cargo bays can make or break your ship if takes too long too get energy cells too sheild or guns or thrusters its like you havent got any there no good iof they dont function and crew management is also very important especially when your ship gets bigger

[@DaLander]

I think by right-clicking the salvage button you can include/exclude types of debris to salvage when you draw your selection rectangle. You also can define the maximum number of a certain type to be stored on your ship.

[@RobertGardnerEngineer]

FYI, even if you don't set the class of your operators, you can set the roles various preferences so they'll do Job A before Job B (so, for example, if something needs manning, they won't leave to deliver power if someone else is available)

[@Racketeerof89]

Should place some engines further from the center of the ship for more torque.

[@Antikyth]

Please continue the series!

[@jannilsprochnow183]

Love watching you playing this

[@namdamyo]

I'm enjoying this series and looking forward to seeing more!

[@s.scottstaten1852]

I often target weapons first, rather than reactors or (more often) control rooms) if it doesn't have guns, it can't shoot you after all!

[@cptnoname]

Not only that, but enriched uranium is expensive and you're blowing it up when you kill the reactor

[@MrCagibson]

This series is great Quill! You mentioned that it was multiplayer (I think?) - If it is, you should do a run where you and a few of your friends are a space pirate band, I think that would be great! You could have the brussel sprout, someone else could have the Squash, the Golden Carrot etc

[@mcmanon5696]

Don't remove the tip! The tip is what makes it special!

[@Metaz]

I do hope you'll make more of this series. Keep them coming Quill! 😁

[@elethio]

When ship designing, or when in blueprint mode. The mirror tool is your friend.

[@xd_Corruption]

Huge issue is you not taking out the disruptors. I heard you say something about not having enough crew, meanwhile, your shield is getting disrupted, they bring it the power cells, it gets disrupted again. Therefore, all the power goes straight to the shield and nothing else.

[@Smokeywolf64]

Awesome lets play would like to see more

[@TENGILL]

Episode 3, here we go! Wohoo!

[@TheFinn70]

Old nerds know, when done in space, it's not kiting, it's a Kaufman retrograde. Sheldon Cooper would have loved Star Fleet Battles.

[@Thermalions]

SFB, that brings back memories of many years of games nights, and how pleased our gaming group lead was when one of his ships designs was published by ADB.

[@JacoDeltaco]

it the first serie youtube recomand me form you in years

[@Maskinbajs]

Looks like a great little game.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

You've taken on missions from both opposing factions now... Pretty sure you're meant to decide between one of the two since you'll worsen your reputation with them when you start to attack the still neutral ships. The back damage you received at the end was from the missiles.

[@PelleTampio]

Getting strong Space pirates and zombies wibe here. Had a lot of fun with that one so i might have to give this a try.

[@Thermalions]

I really enjoyed SPAZ was so looking forward to SPAZ 2, but it just didn't live up to the first one. Looks like it's worth giving this one a look.

[@Zioxx666]

Thank you for always introducing me to great games like this, i cant wait for the next episode

[@Dee-cn3iq]

Another game like factorio and Rimworld that you've got me into. Cheers!

[@DaLander]

Target the weapons (and maybe some thrusters first), at least of the side you're strafing to. If they have disruptors priority them.

[@HCL_Plus]

What a lovely game, great to see you ick this up. If this has multiplayer, would be great to see you lay with Aaavak, I remember him putting in 100s of ours into this.

[@mathieumartin9344]

Very cool! Would love to see more.

[@joshuamullins8445]

keep this series going please

[@General12th]

Hi Martin! I hope you do more videos of this.

[@banedonrunestar5618]

If you blow up a ship and don’t salvage everything what happens? Can you mark the map and come back later and grab what you missed later? Do NPCs drop by and clean it up? Does it just despawn after a period of time?

[@my-alias-obviousleh]

I'm liking it so far!

[@Beanmaster7274]

Yeah those “escape pods” are just people in an Eva suit drifting through space until they die lol.

[@ConditionCheap]

More! This may make me take a break from playing Stardeus and try this :)

[@jumpingforjordan1]

This game is so much better than No Man's Sky.

[@TheParalysed]

3 episodes in and i had to go buy the game and accedently played past midnight last night :D

[@thestalkinghead]

i would quite like to see a fleet, with miner and production ships as well

[@sokare7877]

I'm enjoying the series, I am torn. I'd like to see more, but I also want to play it myself

[@jacobsmith3205]

More of this please!!

[@DominikFeiler]

Really enjoying the game

[@ThePhully]

I too enjoy this game!

[@shanadir]

Flying sprout mk1 has been improved, what should we call our new design? Flying sprout mk1, obviously. ...

[@G2nelson]

Yo I need more of this.

[@christophermartone985]

Please we need more

[@unrealheadcase]

Fun content. Keep it up!

[@chrishoppner150]

Those are not repair drones from the station. Those are people :P

[@simospannenburg1507]

would love to see a letsplay

[@koolkiop]

yess so good keep it up! such a cute game

[@DeathBean89]

is there a reason to not just drop more cargo bays when you're full and sitting on a million metal plates? Is there a penalty on deconstructing that makes it inefficient, or is quill just leaving stuff in space for no reason? As a loot hoarder, it pains me when he kills a pirate and just leaves a bunch of stuff floating there lmao

[@cranberrysauce61]

if i remember correctly, the only risk is being a lot slower and running into a roaming pirate/enemy. im pretty sure deconstructing your own ship is 100% refund for the bits you built yourself. captured ships and/or prebuilts might not give full refund in materials.

[@mrsamiam7872]

The risk is being much slower and if you run into a random pirate your basically dead. still can be worth it though

[@zeocamo]

move the gun up, the sides is cover the gun so they can only shoot forward.

[@Colinus2]

Have you thought of doing a series of Star Trek Online or Some Star Trek Legacy? I figure you'd be great at those games :)

[@Dracobyte]

Nice game!

[@Zirnike]

I suspect corridors are faster for crew than storage, so yhat might be a reason to use them

[@datonkallandor8687]

Correct, non-corridors give a 50% penalty to movement speed.

[@andrewwood7362]

and later when your ship gets bigger can be impotant too lock them into a part of your ship so you can fit airlocks let crew enter then remove the airlock so they cant wonder off say too right thruster bank when you want them too stay feeding energy too left thruster bank or want them too feed guns on right side of your ship and not walk the full width oh your ship and back again too feed the guns on the left side of your ship

[@rush48192]

I have started building mini minors

[@jonathangibson9098]

would love to see kissforluck design a ship

[@Mitda198]

why dont you just set waypoints for salvage zones when your storage is full?

[@davidchalmers6753]

Struggling so much with those shields...

[@andrewwood7362]

i use red shirts gunners blue shirts command gold shirts engineers move cells about also where there quarters are makes a differance they start in there quarters so if its one door too where they work thats optimal if they have to walk the full length of your ship to start work this is bad so can be beneficial to have multiple smaller quarters next too where they work and you can dedicate the quaters to a job so a qurters next to guns for your gunners a quarters next too cockpit for your command crew and qurters next too reactor for engineers so on

[@willdutt]

i believe you can bookmark the wrecks so you can come back to them.

[@mrazharnoordin]

Is this game still being develop??

[@kerbalkerman6827]

does ramming do damage?

[@cranberrysauce61]

sadly no, however if a bit of your ship explodes right next to an enemy i do think it also deals damage to the enemy.

[@Blunderbussy]

@@cranberrysauce61 yep. You can just ram your enemy to force their guns on your forward facing reactors to nuke the enemy. It's a tactic if you have enough space and armor

[@andrewwood7362]

use crew managment to set priority you dont want your gunners getting up to fetch energy celis for your thrusters in the middle of fight and they will so best to set jobs gunners gun commnd crew command and dont do anything else

[@mikkosaarinen3225]

The ammo is worth nothing, always chuck that overboard

[@0nevadajim]

Fun

[@Corkest]

Support for more eps

[@postron5649]

For the love of god, stop selling all your resources please. You pay way more to buy them back later and there is no guarantee that stations will even keep a Stockpile of every resource to enable you to build with. Just create a stationary/slow cargo barge to hold your stuff or keep at least the expensive and somewhat rarer resources (Processors, Enr. U, Hypercoils, etc.).

[@Vortyrion]

Could I have more videos, please!

[@sebastianromero113]

new FTL?

[@TheHHA13]

Bro wheres civ 5 byzantine

[@zanetano]

I like this series. So I'm "gonna smash that like button" for the Quilltuber 😊😂
