Thank you good sir.

[@Rarr]

Huh

Huh nice

[@kittyshippercavegirl]

wait, is the lethia fleet in modded starbound (I don't know exactly which mod it comes from, probably frackin) named after a starsector thing?

[@creed2466]

@kittyshippercavegirl no it’s tahlan shipworks

[@creed2466]

@kittyshippercavegirl lethia and the great houses of Kassandra as a whole are an addition from the mod tahlan shipyard

13:00 i think Rarr got kidnapped and replaced because there is very little chance he starts using tactics out of nowhere

[@Kirkmaximus]

True! He must of listened to chat during a stream... which is also very unlike Rarr. XD

[@IDESTROYER236]

Evil Rarr.

[@vinhly2712]

This is just normal Rarr, the average morality of a spacer can only be measured in how many nacrotic can you fill inside of a Paragon. Also I would recommend the Space Trucking mod if you want to do a PERFECT moral run.

[@Jed_Rowahnn]

Only you could set out with the goal of becoming peaceful farmers and end up conquering half of the core worlds and then accidentally gift it to the Persean League. Bravo Rarr, your dumbassery knows no bounds. Love your vids, man

[@Adventeuan]

1:55 "What are you gonna do? I'm inside you" Does that mean they were an unwilling participant? Naughty boy!

[@wyatthy130]

Just “I want to start this off by saying that I had good intentions” is golden (also how every star-sector game goes)

I can finally confidently say I know how to play starsector, I was intimidated because it seemed so complicated but after seeing you have so much fun with the game I gave it a try and it’s awesome

[@ВячеславФролов-д7я]

Yeah, the starsector isn't meant to be played "morally" by any means

You're starting to have the mild concept of a uploading schedule. At the rate you're advancing you might become a youtube star in about 30 years

[@Rarr]

Yeyeyeyeyeyeyeye

[@TheEnergizingbunny]

Yeah, that loss of governorship at the end is caused by AOTD Question of Loyalty. Changes how the commission works, letting you do more things the higher your rank is, but you have to stay in to keep it all. It pretty much enforces what Sseth said in his Quasimorph review video: "Pick a side, any side... AND STICK TO IT."

[@ThatSlowTypingGuy]

Even without the mod you'll still lose your governorship if you become hostile to the faction.

[@eddie47523]

@@ThatSlowTypingGuy I think he mean the part you lose the governorship of the planet you colonized is caused by Question of Loyalty.

[@Katvanished]

yeah question of loyalty basically makes you part of the faction, but also when you quit the faction, your planets stay in the faction

Literally every good company in a nutshell starts good and humble, and finding one that stays that way is harder to find then finding a new planet without Astrological skills.

Thanks Youhaveit you have always been my number 1 fan.

[@lorddaem9641]

I discovered your channel after I got jumped just before xmas and my phone got stolen. KZbin decided yours was a random channel to show users that weren''t logged in - and I always binge youtube in bed Starsector should pay you a commission. I've binge watched SO MANY of your videos and just bought Star Sector! Keep up the good work

[@SilverLight1.8e308]

2:07 I suddenly thought of a book. The protagonist, after launching a torpedo, hides underwater and then hears a thud. The reason is that they were hit by a torpedo from the allied forces on the other side, but it was a dud.

[@Raiju2]

I always love to see a new Starsector video from you since they help me realise there are more ways to play the game than what I usually end up doing. Every run of Starsector I play, regardless of origin, ends up with me doing honest smuggling (no market manipulation) until I get enough money for a fleet that forces me to do bounties in midst of trading just to pay for upkeep. At least until I scrape together enough credit to colonise something that can finally pay for my CSA (Capital Ship Addiction). Then I start hating all the "friends" I made as a trader when they want my colonies and plot to gimp their fleets by raiding their capitals for nanoforges. Its just the natural progression of game for me.

[@Eranderil]

Just pointing out, Nintendo started by selling handmade illegal trading cards. "Murica started by illegally dumping tons of tea. Basically: getting an illegal start is a completely legitimate startup strat.

In description there are clearly written: Any planet you have governorship after seceding from it goes to them. Ashes of the Doman is amazing mod tho, you can literally become that faction. In upcoming updates they want to actually make that you can secede with the planets.

killing pirates and selling drugs means your start was morally neutral. lol

[@Walterw21]

Love the Starsector content, I hope you keep doing more!

[@tiltedterry]

I had a starsector run of my own play out very similar to this, except when it was time to leave the League I liquidated all my assets on the planets I had governed, leaving the league the horribly unstable and starportless planets, and founded my colonies once I left so the grubby League couldn't steal them. The run went very well, I think the cycle is 256, the core solely exists so I can sell my stuff to them, and I stand as the dominant military faction in the sector

[@EdwardEdward-ds7yh]

Unsure if you'll see this Rarr, but I have an idea for a run for you, there's this mod called Random Assortment of Things (or RAT), which adds a dungeon-type system in abyssal hyperspace, called the Abyssal Depths, inside is a slew of unique ships, ai cores, and a super ship you can fight and take for your own called the Genisis, it is OP as fuck, especially one of it's main weapons, the Abbadon's Lance, basically a mass one shot kill, you can even add a unique hull mod that allows you to crew it with humans (all ships in the Abyssal Depths are automated, with unique hullmods for them) and the ai cores can only be used on these ships, but yeah, something you could do if you want to do another genocide run, or just have an OP fleet to clap everything!

Wish there was an option to leave a faction while taking planets with you, triggering a war. That way, you could have taken the planets at the end. Better yet, make it so that buying every governorship lets you take control of the faction and dismantles the enemy faction AI from trying to tax you.

[@sodapopinski8064]

[@LostMontague]

Babe wake up, Rarr made another Starsector video.

[@user-tb7ml8kz7h]

I never understood why fight the pirates instead of befriending them: Unlike every single other faction, once befriended, pirates will not screw with you in any way - no hegemony AI inspections, no bombing your market because you are too profitable, no Luddic path cells, and most importantly - no random reduction in standing... AND pirates have access to the widest selection of hulls and weapons...
