Something folks will need to know that you didn't cover is about what happens when you trade to the pirates. Pirates are a great place to sell general wares but NEVER trade weapons, weapon blueprints or ship blueprints to pirates. I know the money looks temping but *do* *not* *do* *it.* The reason for this is that pirates will begin to outfit their ships with weapons you sell to them. When you sell them blueprints you'll gradually begin to see them utilize said blueprints to outfit their ships and make new ships. The last thing you want in your game is the pirates having access to ships like the Paragon.

I love that this is in game. Fortunately, I heard about this before turning the pirates faction into a high tech powerhouse.

I only do this willingly. Like I did when I sell a damaged nanoforge on Kapteyn Starworks open market once I reach inhospitable rep. I sell duplicate blueprints over there for strategic purposes first, lulz second. If I want the pirates to eventually beat a Star Fortress, I tip the odds in their favor.

@dune358 2 ай бұрын

I mean, if you want a blueprinted ship for cheap, sell it to the pirates, they make them, then you beat them because they are pirates and literal trash, now you have the ship you wanted.

@@paulrogersgamingThe best thing about your guides is you’ve succeeded where a lot of others have failed as far as balancing humor and genuine advice. You also sound deadpan and to this day, I watch your Howitzer Maze intro at least once a week because it’s hilarious. I don’t have any criticism for you at the moment, but I would stick to your plan as far as not entirely abandoning Kenshi once that well drys up while exploring other games. I’ve seen many other people play this game for example , but with this guide, not only do I have a semblance of what to do but am convinced to give it a shot!

@@paulrogersgamingI know it's a bit too late for this comment, but what I liked about your tutorial is that you made what's overwhelming, less so. Other guides will just go through the tutorial or show you some mechanics without making the complicated parts less overwhelming. For me, it was the ships, how do I even know what's good and what's not? Some KZbinrs would just try to explain that based on half that wall of text in the stats page of the ship (which is too complicated), you made it easier by just telling us to focus on the type and deployment cost (which at least makes us make a first step into understanding ships)

1. Traverse jump ability can be unlocked in story missions. Never try it as bonus burn is usefull anyway. 2. As you pay for crew salary and CR gives bonus above 70 and penalty below 50. It may be a good idea to be under crew usage to lower max CR per ship. It get splitted evenly so more ship see less drawback and supplyies usage.

My last playthru I got a tritach commission and had a black ops phase fleet for smuggling and raiding. I had a colony near culain that wasnt very profitable but very nice for stashing inventory and contraband. It was funny when tritach colony crisis triggered and I got to teach my business partners a lesson

@paulrogersgaming 5 ай бұрын

Half the reason I have colonies is so I can get market price for supplies and fuel. So convenient

@@paulrogersgaming yeah I think just like having a waystation in (with commission) or near core worlds is really good early-mid game. The accessibility bonus also helps make up for poor resources

remember save and load whenever you want, there is no shame in it, if you want a challenge thats fine just dont make the game a worse experience for yourself by not playing the game in a way that you like. if loading a save was not an intended game mechanic then they wouldn't have in the game. i say this because friends that tried getting me into the game would repeatedly insist that loading a save is scummy and not the way the game is meant to be played, i had a horrible rage inducing experience and haven't touched it since then when i first tried it years ago. the game is hard and unforgiving enough when you are loading saves, handicapping yourself when you are learning how to play will only lead you to hating it.

Absolutely, the only correct way to play games is the way you want to play them (gets different in multiplayer games but this isn't one) In Starsector I save a LOT sometimes I do scummy things by taking extreme risks, but sometimes I load because I ran into a massive pather fleet in the middle of nowhere

A video about the different ship roles would be pretty good. I find myself relying quite a bit on a carrier element.

Good idea. I realize I didn't mention the carrier role besides saying "drones are good". Personally, I also have 1-2 (if not more) carriers in my fleet. Love them

Shrike(P) is a pretty nutty starter ship, it can equip a Light Needler and Converted Hangar with Wasp drones.

@paulrogersgaming 5 ай бұрын

Have you had any success with the Converted Hangar? Do you stick to using wasps for that? I have a hard time gauging how effective LPCs are compared to regular weapons.

@chainsawplayin 5 ай бұрын

@@paulrogersgaming I mostly use CH as a replacement of PD weapons, so Wasp, Talon or Xyphos. I gotta say, Wasp is perfect against stations and fighters, and I've never really used CH for damage-dealing. Xyphos is great on Falcon(P) because if you outfit the shipwith 4 medium missiles, you have no space for PD.

@FunkThompson 5 ай бұрын

@@paulrogersgaming With some LPC's it works OK; Wasps, Xyphos, Talon, obviously more from mod factions and such. They won't *live* long when under fire, and interceptors are not your best option; but the DPS isn't much effected. And Shrike is a baller ship for several loadouts. For the standards, Tac Lasers and Ion/Graviton for a long range fire support, or ion cannons and AM blasters of phase lance for strike loadout.

Hey man, I hope you don't mind if I comment something kenshi related. I recently started a playthrough which relies for the time heavily on operating out of a city, namely Brink. So I thought maybe you could continue kenshi, parallel to star sector, with city guides. For example you could analyze what ressoruces can sustainable be produced in the city, for example via the farms, ore deposits nearby, proximity to regions and factions , shops etc. Maybe you could present some hacks for living in the city, for example that you can establish jobs on farms, let the citizens do the work and haul it to your storage indoors and the like. As i said, hope you don't mind kenshi thoughts, just wanted to make sure it reaches you

31:25 you can "lower" your suspicion level by trading a moderate amount of black market stuff and a lot of extra stuff on the normal market. Won't do much for extreme but it helps to lower to moderate or low.
