Sins of a Solar Empire 2 but every Minor Faction is Pirates

Rimmy, my clients plead nuh-uh to the charges of piracy, they say they have a piece of paper from the government that makes them privateers.

Ya know.... I wonder if Letters of Marque are even LEGALLY accepted or Viable anymore.

[@spaceengineeringempire4086]

Hm well a lot of old nations tend to make laws and forget about them until some case happens and there shocked

[@homeonegreen9]

​@@jaywerner8415So the Constitution allows letters to be issued and no amendment has been signed to change it. There is an international law of the sea that forbids it but the US never signed it. So theoretically the US could issue letters of marque.

Just a general comment that your crew recreating original minecraft videos does indeed sound like absolute gold

[@noobmaster5411]

Sounds like a pain but also sounds like a fun idea.

[@MysticalyAutistic]

Rimmy minecraft let's play when?

[@durhamdavesbg4948]

Although all that talk of playing it as kids suddenly made me feel old.

[@joewow1229]

Man the pirate hijack crews are gold, just grab javelis cruisers or heavy cruisers early makes early colonising ez with the colony battleship from TEC. Also stealing drone ships from advent is fun.

[@wardoggaming42]

1:37 How I imagine Rimmy's leader hearing the news. Advent Bodyguard: "Mr. Rimmy, Warpugss has sent word, a second Aluxian Resurgence has hit the galaxy." Rimmy who was in the middle of briefing his officers on how they're going to use pirates and boarding parties to build their fleet: "My fellow Advent Bros, it's over."

Really, I just want a button to FORCE a minor faction to be pirates. Cuz like, that's what made sins 1 kinda interesting-you had a constant pressure coming down on you, meaning you gotta build defenses to push back. Here? You can just advance in every direction

[@AnerDyfan]

Unfortunately pirates are a lot less aggressive in this one, so even if you did that, they won't be threatening the same way.

[@Zergking100]

@@AnerDyfan Damnit, I hope someone makes a mod to fix that. They were a good pressure

[@ZagstrakEadSmasha]

Now all we need is Rimmy's space marine 2 video and life shall be complete

[@Spartan-ir4zf]

The other really dumb (but fun) strategy is the “whoops all Argonevs,” a tier 5 for the TEC Enclave gives them a ship item that allows you to build Starbases everywhere. Even on planets that aren’t yours, so it devolves into one team with an Enclave player fortifying every allied planet with at least 2 of their starbases, dropping two whenever they enter an enemy’s gravity well, and they can slap FOUR down in a Star. It is hands down, one of the MOST OBNOXIOUS end games, but watching your opponents just quit the match out of frustration after taking half of their fleet to destroy two star bases only to watch your fleet jump in and start building another two at ludicrous speeds is kind of fun.

[@Joshuaninja]

HOIST THE COLOERS MEN

[@user-dp1bf3eg8j]

Finally got around to play it after it got released and it was been so fun. Tonight I even dreamt about it. In the dream I was on the surface of a planet and above me there was the advent titan, the one with the wings and the halo on top, and it was fighting a vasari starbase with big fleets on either side. It was so stunning to see the big titan and starbase through the clouds in the sky haha

[@wyvernthefox9683]

I found a huge interest in this game after watching you play, and will sit down to avoid doing homework and spend hours playing against AI.

[@judahsmyth5398]

i saw that intro, and instead of thinking of the fact you can get boarding crews from the pirate minor faction, i just thought of that one Advent capital ship who has an ability to just take over enemy ships, of up to 2 ships per level on that ability

[@Sc0ts]

Would love to see more in the future

[@barm9919]

TWO RIMMY VIDEOS IN TWO DAYS? I MUST’VE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN!

[@samuelcaponi4516]

I elect to believe that Rimmy did the intro first try, even if very trustworthy primary sources state otherwise

[@ai-spacedestructor]

the most stupid thing about the mod vote even is that while they are probably not already fully done because in larger updates they have already proven that they will just add things if they really want to but the mobs for the vote are fleshed out in the sense of that the concept is complete and all they have left to do is write the code for the new logic it would require, if it has nothing new they would only have to drop the data in to the game and it would already be ready and you cant tell me that writing a json file takes that much work that they have to ask there customers eve5ry time if there is interest for it. they can literally just add all of them and they have also already confirmed they keep all of the mobs which lost the vote for later so they can re use the work when the right time comes, so they have plans to add them in regardless. the vote just delays them being added for an undefined amount of time for literally no good reason. any other game, including games microsoft owns would in the same situation just add them and maybe every now and then ask in what direction the next big update should go and then they work for a full cycle just in that theme with adding new things instead of whatever bullshit the mojang system is. plus nobody even wants that system, in one of the recent votes from what i saw in reports about it the entire stream chat was just spammed with the demand to stop the mob vote and mojang thanked for how supportive people are of the vote because nobody even looks at what people have to say about it. this entire concept is some weird clown show that entertains it self and the customers are the victims sacrificed in order to entertain the company, i dont think i have ever seen the same thing done before.

[@rfc1526]

Wait I missed another Rimmy video going over Sins 2?!

[@playwars3037]

Yeah the exotics are too easy to get now. I was getting really hyped for having to actually use them to shape my capital ship choices early on, but you can get refineries so early that basically by the time you get the economy to pay the normal resources for a second capital ship, you have the tech and logistics to make your own exotics. It's REALLY frustrating, because you can see the good design being thrown away there.

[@RimmyDownunder]

Yeah, I agree. Actually, I even asked Stardock about this (since the video was sponsored) and they said they were fine for me to leave the criticism in. So big props to them, I sure do hope they reconsider as the "scavenger hunt" for exotics was a supremely interesting part of Sins 2 and could quite radically change your gameplan because you got exotics for a bunch of carriers but not your battleships or whatever. If nothing else, I'd enjoy it as an optional switch - hell I'd love to be able to push it to the end of the tech tree too.

[@twasanhoneztmistake9524]

I can't believe Rimmy had to record that inro 15 times......

[@Suzuki_Hiakura]

Never realized how big the profit from minecraft merch was before... bought the game a while ago as cracked versions were seriously hit or miss past 1.6.4 (at the time). The things you learn from unrelated sources lmao

Thank you for the tip. That map is about to get a visit from the TEC rebels.

[@foreng3095]

Pirates! I hate those filthy bandits!

[@Krystalchan2009]

6:15 About the minecraft side its easy to see where it is. Yes merch is easy, but the most of the development is into Realms since thats what the majority of the playerbase is on (That being mobile and console players). Realms gets updates every month including mod packages compatible and MTX items. So people are paying for skins, paying for servers and paying for bonuses to those servers and such is Minecraft's cashflow. Outside of that, they are still on their eternal quest to make Bedrock's codebase in parity with java but everytime they make an advance in that, they find new bugs.

[@pyrosomebody]

Im loving these SoaSE videos and id love to play it but im just so bad at strategy games its funny

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @RimmyDownunder! Can't wait for the next video man! That Ending was just Absolutely Hilarious, Was that Otz or was that actually his Dog LMAO? I've got an Idea for a Future Sins of a Solar Empire 2 Play through for you guys though, Each of you play as a Human Faction (call yourselves either Super Earth or the United Colonies or something) and you play Up against various Faction including both Subfactions of the Advent on Hard mode. As For Minecraft, They've been Screwing themselves over ever since the Mob Vote for the Armadillo came out to have been Botted. I do have a Pretty Long List of Mods for you to try out should you wish to Check the game out, although they are For Minecraft 1.20.4 for Forge and Not the 1.21 Trials Update. As for the Examples that I gave in your LAFS video, I'm planning out a Massive Op in ArmA 3 Called Operation Showcase where my "Faction" in the Gaming Community, The Independent Republic of Cadria (or I.R.C. for short), Launches an Airborne Operation in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area of the Great State of Texas in an Effort to show just how Heavily Modern Military Forces really on Modern Equipment and Technology. My Guys use the Equipment of the Second World War and They are going up against Vehicles like the HMMWV's, M2A3 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, M1A1SA (Situational Awareness) Abrams Main Battle Tanks and even the Strykers as well as Helicopters like the AH-64E Apache Attack Helicopters, UH-60M Black Hawk Medium Lift Utility Helicopters and the CH-47F Chinook Heavy Lift Cargo Helicopters and Aircraft like the F-16C Block 30 Fighting Falcon's, MQ-9 Reaper Drones and C-130J Super Hercules Tactical Airlift Aircraft as well God knows what the Texas State Guard and the Various Sheriffs Departments along the Lines will have. By now, you can probably already see why the Common Joke among those involved (especially from my Forces) about this being named "Operation Sh1tshow" LMAO! And before I forget, A Task Force with an Entire Sherman Tank Battalion, Armored Rifle Battalion, Armored Field Artillery Regiment, and an Entire M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer Battalion at the Core will be Moving the 187 Miles from Shreveport, Louisiana all the Way to The Target Area of Dallas-Fort Worth in order to Relieve the Paratroopers and Glider Troops. Basically, Think of this Force as something along the Lines of Combat Command B of the "Tiger" 10th Armored Division at the Time of the Battle of the Bulge but it's not just the 101st "Screaming Eagles" Airborne Division with them, but the Airborne Forces of June to September 1944 as well. Over on Liru's Channel, I'm Helping him Plan things out over on his Channel (Albeit in the Comments section below his videos) and I'm about to Go into Detail on the Texas Air National Guard as I've already Finished listing the Texas Army National Guard and Supporting Army National Guard Units Stationed in Texas helping to Secure the Border with Mexico. • Would you want to Take Part in the Airborne Forces for the Operation? • Would you be Opposed to the Idea of taking the Opportunity to Test LAFS with this Op? Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video with the List of Minecraft Mods man!

Too bad they nerfed this strat in the last patch, making pirate Level 1 3 Influence and Boarding parties cost 2 influence + 3 uses so it was harder to double use them.

[@DeadBaron]

5:40 I'm convinced Microsoft is using Mojang simply for tax writeoffs and funneling money around or something. 1200 employees for a game that is basically unchanged since Notch left, they just add in creatures using his code or change some textures every once in a while. Notch cashed out at the best time. 1200 employees for an indy game made by one guy? WTF?

nah, i dont think those 1200 are all devs, im pretty sure most are just different marketing departments
