[@Esoteric_5075ism]

honestly I wish the early game would last a lot longer than it does. I love fighting those small frigate-on-frigate battles between a few ships at a time, but after a few bounties the difficulty of them just goes up so much that you can't really subsist on them anymore without upgrading your fleet to bigger ships. You can still do system bounties, I guess, but even those have a difficulty curve(I think?).

Man, what a struggle. I'm not sure if any of the mods used changes this, but in vanilla you can always go to the ship graveyard in Galatia from the tutorial and recover a Hammerhead, Lasher, Dram and one or two other ships. Also on the discussion of deployment point costs, I've noticed that the Tempest literally costs as much as a Shrike at 8 points. The only real difference logistics wise is the higher fuel burn per light year and crew requirements.

[@laurek_4870]

the ai deploys a force it thinks can safely match what you deploy into battle so if you have a single fast powerful ship like your wolf at the very start you can take this into battle, pick off any isolated enemies - or outright destroy those that are deployed; and then as you're overwhelmed pull back to your retreat point and call in the rest of your fleet as an ambush or ablative armour as you take on the rest of the force. as you were saying about using the game's mechanics to pick your own difficulty, strategies around deployment and retreat are also really interesting ways to enhance your playthroughs, blazeroth talked about this a lot in what is to date one of the best starsector playthroughs ever imo, as a fellow starsector asmr personality i think it'd be right up your street. also please please please please love the Vigilance, it's just a little baby and it doesn't get anywhere near enough love. a pair of vigiliances escorting a centurion or a vanguard would be so very cool

[@jergensherbit756]

With regards to early game combat loss and that treadmill loop you mentioned I think there should be ways to recover lost ships and cargo after loss. Recovering ships is something you can only do if you win, but if you're forced to retreat it's a huge blow as you're not only losing ships potentially with S-mods, but also irreplaceable ships (Zig, Legion XIV, AI XIV) and weapons (Omega & Diktat). Bounty rewards also assume a flawless victory, losing ships either to having to retreat or being out of story points cuts hard into any possible profit margin, you're back in the same place like a treadmill. Losses are easy to avoid, but are far too devastating when they aren't. Players are rarely wanting to use special ships because "don't fly what you aren't willing to lose" applies to Starsector. Now there's an issue with this: if you allow the player to recover everything after a big hard loss then there's no consequences to losing, but then on the other end there's the aforementioned pain of losing things you'll never get again or are tedious to gain like story points at level cap. A compromise between these two ideas would work and still be satisfying. Losses should be punishing, not kill motivation; the carrot needs to be dangled in front of them. The quick and dirty option is to allow ships lost from your fleet to be tossed out as derelicts like what happens in NPC battles, so if you still escape you can come back later, recover them, and limp back with a fleet of mothballed ships. A more involved option is to allow you to lose it all like normal, but give opportunities for you to recover ships and weapons later. Maybe you hear intel about exotic weapons and domain technology on some black market auction which you can either crash with marines or buy from, or they're in some faction's research lab, secure storage, . Rare ships could end up the same way; S-modded ships are some pirate's flagship or collection in a hangar, your Legion XIV could end up there as well or back in Hegemony hands for you to pry it back out of, and the Zig can end up in any number of places or 3spooky5me circumstances. With the involved option the thing is to not give the opportunities back immediately and have them pop up over time. This forces the player to do without and be punished for losing them in the first place, and it gives the player the chance to decide if they really need/want them anymore when the opportunity does present itself. Like that Legion you lost? You won't be seeing that back for five months at minimum, but you will eventually get it back; it might be missing some weapons and LPCs and could have some ill-advised modifications and be all banged up, but you'll get it back.

[@GP22855]

There is a hammerhead, almost guarantee, salvage free ship in galatia. It is part of the tutorial start normally. So overdriven hammerhead pretty much cleans up destroyers, frigs, and some cruisers. The wolf is there I recall too.

Before the last UAF playthrough I did, I went Tri-Tech and ONLY high-tech ships with the extended high tech mod. What a weird game, I spent days of real world time just flying between Hybrasil and Eochu just trying to prevent the faction from being DELETED. I was running 2 - 3 Omen and Tempests every single mission with wild success along side the added high-tech ships. I had like 200 ship power fleet with a nice Odyssey killing 500 power fleets. I was NEVER allowed to auto complete because I was always lower power than my opposition . . . but the raw power of each individual ship, their abilities always allowed a clean win. I hope you can save us ;)

[@hansbrackhaus8017]

I think in one of your videos you outlined some basic framework of being robust against trade disruptions for volcanic worlds. I can't find that passage anywhere anymore, but maybe you remember it? I think it was volcanic worlds but the conclusion was that in the end, only fuel was the weakness or something. Again, if I could remember what you actually said then I wouldn't ask. But I don't...so... do you remember that guideline for self sufficent mining outposts? I *think* it also included patrol ship spawning.

[@wbfscv331]

I think it's just the general idea that volcanic worlds have good metal and transplutonic ore deposits. So you go mining (ores and transplutonic ores) -> refining (metal and transplutonics) -> heavy industry (supplies, heavy armament, ship hulls, heavy machinery) and something else (high command for marines or something like that) and you've got the majority of resources covered already. The point is that volcanic worlds often have the heat or extreme heat modifier meaning that the patrol fleets get large if you find a cryoarithmetic engine. Also if you have good transplutonic ore deposits and a hypershunt in range you can even get a 5th industry slot using the hypershunt trap.

Nevertheless I am glad that you added it - the ships are quite enjoyable, if somewhat overpowered to my liking. Also - if you are doing midline fleet - Kazeron Navarchy was already mentioned, and Mayasura Navy is also really good, for the midlined vibe, although it is "bloatmaxxing" with the amount of ships it adds. Hope you check it out one day.

Hey Big Brain. Love your videos. Have you ever considered reviewing viewer submitted fleet compositions? I'm pretty new and while I've made it to end game I have no idea why one fleet comp works and another just self destructs.

[@gkagara]

I find starsector is like Kenshi, it is unfortunate the same progression first is trade run or just outright drug run, because you only have 1 character, the first step is buying equipment and work that athletic skill, run faster and longer. And because you're trading all that weigh from being pack mule add strength to your character, at this phase of the game you want to avoid combat and just run. After few decent run and hopefully not get caught doing illegal stuff, now time to equip your character, all that athletic dex, strength grind now will play out when you try to take on small fry with your equipment, your character is lousy fighter just have good equipment they can't block, dodge as good but equipment tip the odds in your favor, after some time dispatching small fry your character now will build up Constitution how? Fight naked get hit and run away before you're defeated, all that money now being drained because constantly seeking first aid kit and splint because of your character getting beaten to a pulp, but do this cycle enough time eventually your character will be buff enough they can take entire army by themselves. When you're in this phase it's time to recruit follower that can fight not just pack mule character, get them beat up and heal them eventually they will be as good as your character and with this army now you can take entire world. Starsector is quite the same, start small and build your fleet, level your character and eventually you can take entire sector.
