How to Break Starsector

The developer actually responded! The glitch will be fixed in the next upcoming patch. Enjoy while it lasts! : twitter.com/amosolov/status/1730994036222136777 Discussion thread : www.reddit.com/r/ymfah/comments/189190c/how_to_break_starsector/ 3 Prometheus MKIIs are better than 2 Odysseys.

Breaking Starsector is like breaking your old Grandmother's back. While not hard to do it's the creative and innovative ways people do it that makes it interesting.

[@Llortnerof]

I now have additional questions.

[@prateeksharmakharel7678]

@Llortnerof You will receive the answers after providing me them.

@@prateeksharmakharel7678 No, thanks, i think i prefer not getting them.

[@AlexiosLair]

That is oddly specific

[@BasedMan]

I have been wondering for a long time if its possible to beat the hegemony without a big fleet Raid their fuel and supply production, after you get the strongest share in the sector for both of those. Ally ludds and pirates, send them after everyone else to raid and pillage. Wait. They cannot afford to fly their capitals (or even any ship at all) anymore Destroy their core stations, saturate bombardments for everyone Repeat and leave only those that you like (independents my beloved) Then destroy ludd and pirates (who you turned into corsairs) so no one can challenge you. They have outlived their usefullness. Declare yourself the heroe of the sector, after killing and starving billions. Rebuild and get rid of the remnants. Explore. Finally, some fucking peace and quiet.

[@SnailBot]

I want to appreciate it. Only understand the 3rd on that the ship face that way and has all deck out weapon.

[@Jaydee-wd7wr]

@@SnailBot, The first one is an all Dragonfire build, which are like a weird missile that shoots lasers. The second one is all Derelict Operations which basically means it’s like 30 Capital ships that have been intentionally destroyed and then not repaired to reduce their deployment cost. The third one is a broadside meme, there are broadside ships in the game but none of those are, the one in the top corner is flying backwards and the Invictus is using basically none of its weapon slots despite being one of the best ships in the game. The Griffin isn’t even using its large missile despite being the entire point of the ship. The fourth one is basically a bunch of civilian ships with missiles and safety overrides. To be honest pretty much everything after the money glitch is kinda a meme. The Prometheus MKII is not a good ship, it’s incredibly difficult to make use of and it needs 3SP each to be viable.

What surprises me more than anything is that Sseth's code still works even after all this time.

[@Aereto]

The key system is not managed by an online server. It operates the same as older DRM CD Keys of the time. So long as you get the correct key combinations, it's infinitely reusable.

[@FireTalon24]

I just hope people do choose to actually buy the game after trying it with his key. Genuinely worth the low asking price.

[@Morlair]

that has generally been the case. Especially for the low price for how nuts the game actually is. You will find people on the forums saying they used the key, liked it, so payed.@@FireTalon24

[@rogo7330]

@@FireTalon24not everyone can actually buy a game, and this is not because they don't have a needed sum. I personally bought some games afterwards I played them, and sometimes after that stoped maybe not even played into them. Factorio is a good example in this list.

[@thaileinh9877]

I think it's inspired by the Sseth's video, in which he also blasted Cowboy Bebop while explaining how to smuggle drugs and harvested organ

[@MinamotoTerumi]

I Remember doing practically the same economy exploit in Fable, but it always seemed like Starsector had it solved because prices adjusted as you increased/decreased quantities. I Guess we'll be seeing a patch to address edge case markets in future. Also echoing the hope that you'll do more on this game, there's definitely some cool challenge runs possible.

[@michasokoowski6651]

Well, in fable prices adjust as well, but you could bypass it if you sell/buy in batches. Here this exploit work because minimum buying price is 1 and it should be 2

[@lsswappedcessna]

Yep, same here, I didn't see any reason to keep it on in HS so off it goes. Helps me sneak around the massive pirate fleets that are large enough to TPK any fleet beyond a late endgame fleet so I can get to the cool stuff faster. I also managed to sneak into a [REDACTED] controlled sector, two massive fleets were sitting next to the warp point. I realized what I was looking at and immediately went dark. Dumb ass [REDACTED] just let me pass unscathed, which is weird because I'm not running a super stealthy all-phase fleet or anything like that, I have multiple larger ships and even two gantries. I scanned and mined like 6 planets through a rather large black hole sector, and they only chased me when I sensor pinged a magnetic field. I outran them easily and was ready to transverse away if needed, though the small fleets that were in that sector I may have been able to take. I've not had much contact with them yet, I'm trying to find a really tiny fleet so I can poke them and figure out their weakness (other than the garden hose, we don't have one of them in space).
