Hope people like this series it will be running through the end of the year! To clarify as well unlike my last one we are making the imperium as a independent faction i just started with a commission to get some free blueprints :)

[@kurniawanhartonoherjana7923]

Welcome back, X.

[@siluda9255]

i have some questions you aren't allowed to use go dark and eburn ? i just got confused when you got hunted at the start and didn't eburn ? maybe i didn't pay attention to a detail, but if you could tell i would be happy

[@CodeNameFerretVODs]

@@siluda9255 Eburn uses instantly uses a certain amount of fuel which he probably didn't have enough of

[@SargentGunnery]

After I was done with the tutorial in Starsector, I remember spending around 20 min figuring out what ships to buy, only to end up buying a tanker and a freighter. 10/10

[@genericname6167]

Ngl I like to start up with a wolf and go full scavenger, I ended up with a float of 16 with only 4 combat ships bc you never have enough storage run and fuel to explore to your heart content

[@darkovxein5630]

This game is what made me discover your channel and i've enjoyed every other single series

[@dakaodo]

Same here!

[@TDawgS117]

It took a month to find this playthrough on my regular feed, screw you YT algorithm.

[@forlornfoe352]

Always glad to see some daring Starsector tactics. That phase frigate with additional speed boost is scary.

[@archiethedog4515]

I am surprised someone hasn't made a WH40k total conversion mod for this. It would be amazing.

[@mllhild]

The ship combat in Starsector is far too fast paced to fit with the 40k style ships.

[@josephfoster3924]

there is a faction mod "Battlefleets of the Gothic Sector"

[@prototype102010]

@@mllhild While I do enjoy the combat in Starsector, I wish there was some ships and build styles to allow for more long range broadside style combat. Imagine having a bunch of fighters and destroyers in a battle and a giant ship on the outskirts of battle firing death beams into the enemy. Maybe that is there and I haven't found it yet.

[@ericmyrs]

You've inspired me to finally actually learn how to pilot in this game. I've done several endgame playthroughs, but I never bothered to learn, and always specced away from personal skills. I know the player can be a big force multiplier in battles, but I've never managed to pull it off.

[@liamkeft6196]

The last time you played Starsector was the first time I saw the game. I bought it and now I'm addicted, so thank you for introducing this game to me :)

[@ThreatX]

It is a great game :)

[@EpsilonNPC]

Ok... I guess I need to admit that the Imperium is my crack now. You have my subscribe for whatever thats worth...

[@meili4790]

Ayo! Hell yeah :D not nearly enough people do longplays of starsector! Hype for this

[@jefferydraper4019]

Serenity came out the same year as Star Wars III. I had only seen an episode of Firefly and was a big Star Wars fan. Serenity was a lot better than SW3. My late wife agreed with me. Glad to see more of your action. I binge-watched your last run 2 weeks ago. Your Kits have been doing a pretty good job on their own. Youre in a face to face slugging match, then a swarm of missiles come in and eat up his armor or overload him.

[@iNNoCeNttDReAMs]

Searching for guides on Starcom made me stumble on this video. I cant wait to start on this one as well

[@ThreatX]

Its a great game though weird you got brought here looking for Starcom XD I still need to try out the new one when its out of EA

[@theodoreluo2791]

I shall watch your career with great interest

[@mattparker9726]

8:31 LOL the genuine fear in your voice! LOL I love early game, so scrappy!

[@Korrections]

I love your starsector series! Keep them coming!

[@jackprime579]

Its awesome that your doing starsector again looking forward to your starsector vids in the future ❤❤

[@DeathByRabbit]

Yeeeesssss. Glad to see another Starsector series! Was hoping it wouldn't be too long before you returned to the game.

[@DK199811]

Hell yeah, Starsector is back. And with my other favorite faction. Will be enjoying the hell out of this!

[@johnaxios6335]

A comment for the algorithm gods. Thanks for introducing me to this game! I’m really enjoying this series and I’m looking forwards to more of it. Keep on being awesome!

[@goobercat6963]

Yeah! Star Sector is back baby!!

[@goose4454]

Hello Mr. X. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Your M&B 2 archer playthrough is really good, and now I find out you play starsector as well?!?! All my Christmases have come at once. Subbed.

[@Kirkmaximus]

I greatly approve of this ship naming system. Mr X's "Hello there" is spot on to Obi Won.

[@mitchelarielnapallatan2669]

The game is great but with your commentary this became awesome.

[@prototype102010]

I would LOVE to see a tutorial or... "tips that the game doesn't tell you" style video. I've been watching a ton of your lets plays trying to get a handle on the game and there's just some things I don't understand, like how many supplies you need, what's the important stats to look at on ships and stuff.

[@zenmanokfine]

I bought the game a week ago and so far only made it through the first tutorial, every time I watch a stream of the campaign it seems crazy deep so I am waiting until I have a bunch of hours/days I can sink into it - been waiting for a game like this for years!

[@owensthilaire8189]

I have the same problem. I really like the games over style and depth. I just don't have the time at the moment. Bought it anyway. For a rainy day.

[@Coxbacca69]

More Threat X starsector? It must be Christmas 😀🎄👌👍

[@bruce_sings]

Yes more starsector… this is peak threatx

[@AlbertoMarshall]

YES IT BACK WITH WARHAMMER YES YES YES

[@photrick]

YES! BEST STARSECTOR VIDS!

[@just_a_guy_on_yt3853]

I just bought this game and it's amazing. Half the reason I got it is because it reminded me of Firefly, so funny that you mentioned it!

[@johnborrini4623]

This video made my week... though I was bummed cuz I just got this game and was gonna try recording somthing very similar... now I must reasses lol.

[@ThreatX]

Dont let that stop you any category on KZbin has competition on mass

[@_Makanko_]

Love this game!

[@l0rf]

The Interstellar Imperium is one of those factions I never remove from my modlist but also never play with because they are both so good they could be vanilla and also so vanilla they don't hold my interest too much. Weird issue to have but great reason to watch this playthrough.

[@mattparker9726]

oooh Imperian of Man modded faction playthrough? COOL! I just started a 50+ mod run of pirate faction. I added in the mysterious debt from my past option, and so far it's been pretty rocky start. got Shmunked a couple of times, but now in episode 2, we're starting to get a foothold. Managed to take out a trading fleet (albeit with heavy losses) and got a bunch of metal and transplutonics, 60k ish worth.

[@dynamitehack0]

"this is meant to be a big boy faction, with big ships and big powerful guns" That's kinda funny, because my experience has been that the Imperium is the "oops no large slots" faction; mostly they spam m/s slots and boost them with their unique imperial package hull mods.

[@lordbread8102]

I happen to dabble, do you dabble good sir?

[@jonber9411]

You got me playing this game. Looking forward to this series. How do you feel about the industrial evolution mod? I enjoy it a bunch, it ads some interesting things to Colonies and fleshes out exploration somewhat. You get a few ’boss’ encounters that are quite challanging and fun. Cheers

[@ThreatX]

I have seen it but i quite like the base game colony management so chose to not use it

[@MemeManiax51]

This is cold

[@mllhild]

In the lower left of the map you have a really nice street of systems all until the corner.

[@imhollywood1015]

Awesome.

[@omg5652]

That game is good !!

[@user-mv4li7lm8w]

If you would have a Centurion-class ship, i suggest a fitting name - Naughtius Maximus

What's wrong with my friend's name, Biggus Diccus? 😂

[@krieggrenademan105]

When hovering over the stars it tells you the type, you first visited a red dwarf then a white dwarf and then a red giant, makes it a whole lot easier

[@lewisvargrson]

38:00 Imagine if you put 4 Reaper Torps on that Phase Frigate. Talk about punching above your weight class. Also 49:29 phrasing...

[@Scherfeeferfee-Live]

omg this game is just

[@Angavelmar]

Hi Threat - if the bounty says - it's in the system with a giant red star, it doesn't mean "giant" on the map. It means it has to have word |Giant" in it's name Red Giant, Blue Giant etc - these are star types - Dwarfs, Giants, Supergiants - for example. Honestly like your videos, but it was kind of hard watching that part :)

[@hansallen2708]

I saw the title and pic and I hoped you had found a mod to add the Imperium from 40k to the game.

[@fatdxddy9526]

Finna catch up my videos just watched 17 and you can put the mobile suits in sum of the fighter bays

[@aliensuperweapon]

13:52 Where did that officer come from? Is that a vanilla feature or which mod is needed for that? I anready wondered in another playthrough video of yours. Love them by the way! Thank you. :)

[@alexhfgcs331]

heck yeah!

[@jatzi1526]

I get diable warships by scavenging after their battles. You can usually get some battlecarriers and battlecruisers

[@Koltrarock]

Yeay :D

[@omganotherun]

Confused me a bit when you invoked The Imperium of Man but I you were not using Imperial ships. There's a mod for that, "Battlefleets of the Gothic Sector". Unless you are thinking of something other than Warhammer40K.

YEEEEESSS!!!

8:02 nah that's a checkbox at the start, wether or not you finished the main story line

[@gothicpando]

Isn't there something...horrible...inside a black hole somewhere?

[@ThreatX]

Hmm really might have to investigate :)

[@Favorites920]

I REALLY wish a mod or in game addition would be made so that we could make little notes for a solar system or planet.

[@Thiccubus]

There *is* a captain's log mod, called as such. Not sure if it's up to date, but it was UTD when I last played ~Nov 2021. You have to use console mod to write in the captain's log, but all notes have their home in a tab on the logistics screen iirc I'm assuming, though, you mean a note you can 'tack' onto the map and mouse over, which would be pretty cool.

[@carlosgalaron7878]

Hahá! Yes!

[@RoulicisThe]

I'd love to play this game, but I have a question beforehand : Since it's not on a video-game plateform but a game you buy directly from them (which is good in many aspects), when you buy it, do you buy it only for the computer on which you download it or do they send you the files to engrave onto a CD or the key so you can install it on all your computers (as long as you keep the key) This question is what prevented me to buy it, cause I don't want to buy it just to lose it if I change computers T-T

[@ThreatX]

You get a email so as long as you do not lose that no issues

[@RoulicisThe]

@@ThreatX Thanks !

[@skwayesahmed5818]

Yes Yes YES

What Mod allows you to Pick What Comission you start with, Etc? Since i want to access certain Ships But i struggle with knowing what/Where to go.

[@greenerion]

the funniest part of this " I can sell the drugs to the military!?" ....hahahaha yes, yes you can. Look at how much drugs the civilians do and then think of how much shittier the military life is and you'll have an idea of how much drugs they need XD

neat

[@siluda9255]

did you add the hiver mod ?

If you die in black hole and wake up in small ship as a reset cos of game. people be like. how the heck did you escape that. true gameover

[@CodeNameFerretVODs]

Did you know there's an actual 40k mod for this game? you can still add it in and get the blueprints and such from research stations etc it just wont add the factions unless you restart

[@ThreatX]

yes though to be honest the ship designs do not really fit in all too well

[@CodeNameFerretVODs]

@@ThreatX That's fair I didn't install it for that reason as well they aren't very appetizing from above

what version is this?

[@arisf1847]

hello, is starsector a beta game or is it completely finished?

[@ThreatX]

its in beta but it is more polished than the majority of the games on the planet. Its made by 1 guy brought it 10 years ago so really slow updates scheduled but he is a bit of a perfectionist so their are no bugs and everything tends to be very thought out

[@scp2539]

roiders are a silly little faction. they militarized civ ships and some of them look bad stat wise but the ai can actually use them and uses them better then several base game ships.

Gonna be honest: the title feels like another bait and switch. Gut reaction was to drop a thumbs down. HOWEVER, it was still a quality video so that doesn't seem fair so I won't. Still, just wanted to say you do good work, but I'm not thrilled about the title implying again that you were doing the actual 40k mod.

[@ThreatX]

That was not my intention was a poor choice of wording on my part kind killed the video a bit did not want to click bait as that gets you nowhere as a small channel

[@ulfgard4734]

@@ThreatX I figured as much after I got over the knee-jerk reaction. 40k is super cool and playthroughs of all sorts of games are definitely inspired by it and its themed. But like I said, you make such entertaining content that I wanted to give you a heads up about the way I nearly reacted and how others might.

[@ThreatX]

Oh no i get it I already changed it after a few comments came through but it takes a while to update :) no 40k mods for this game that work but maybe one day XD

[@ulfgard4734]

@@ThreatX Ah, I see now. I didn't see the title change until I refreshed KZbin. I wasn't aware that the one that does exist, at least as a WIP, was actually so busted as to be unplayable right now. I know it's not well thought of and the few people who talk about it love to dunk on it for not being balanced to slot into the vanilla game-- and thus also the mods balanced around vanilla, either. In any event, I just want to restate that you do good work and I'm looking forward to the rest of this series now that I know what to expect. And I've hit the like button anyway, now that I know what's going on because I don't want you to take a hit with the dreaded algorithm. Cheers, mate.
