Ayy another episode! Really enjoying this down to earth and extremely helpful playthrough. You could zip through this stuff and make rapid progress, but instead you stop and explain the more nuanced or complicated features of the game, which really helps people like me! I appreciate it, and I feel like a lot of other people do as well. Looking forward to your future tutorials and a continuation of this series! you've earned my sub!

New player tip you may want to include: I found that any battle, at least those not in hyperspace, will leave a temporary debris field that you can do a salvage operation in. This includes battles you just fought in, and you can essentially double your loot from winning a fight if you've got a few ships with salvage gantries, like the shepard. Alternatively, you can go to systems where system guard fleets are having fights with pirates and pick through the aftermath of the fights for free stuff.

@@d1halberdgnoll963 The first pass at can sometimes reveal new salvageable ships. If you just killed some traders, then those ships will likely be carrying cargo. With the salvaging skill maxed I've occasionally found modspecs laying around in debris fields, but aside from those rare occurrences, the majority of the value comes from looted supplies and heavy machinery.

@@moosig Personally I prefer the respective logistical upgrades for each type of support ship, since they each give either a flat bonus or a percentage bonus of the original stat, whichever is higher. So expanded cargo holds for freighters, auxiliary fuel tanks for tankers, and additional berthing for crew transports. Then I also usually add efficiency overhaul, since those logistics mods increase their supply upkeep, but I guess if you're doing a lot of surveying, then surveying equipment might be better.

Nice, a couple of tips I want to add. 1. Always try to buy completely fixed ships when buying them. Removing D-mods ultimately will cost you more. 2. Try to avoid recruiting Reckless Officers, in general. Aggressive are really good for fighters with fast ships, and Timid are great for long range. 3. Don't bother recovering ships if you don't need them, most likely will cost you more in the long run. 4. Prometheus (Large Tanker) is generally pointless and usually better to have 2-3 Phaetons due to Burn Speed. The exception is when you reach you 30? ship limit cap. 5. There is an abandoned Terraforming Platform in Corvus which you can use as Free Storage for goods and ships. Otherwise, you will need to pay a monthly fee to the owning faction.
@evilbarrels2506
@evilbarrels2506 5 жыл бұрын
An augmented drive field and efficiency overhaul on the Prometheus will make it just as fast as a Phaeton, while costing fewer supplies then three phaetons. Also, some D-mods are arguably just a buff, especially on utility ships that won't see combat. Get the skill that makes the D-mod supply cost buff apply to their maintenance cost and add an efficiency overhaul, and you have ships that are basically free to run. Hell, if they're broken enough, they might be 100% free without the overhaul.

@@evilbarrels2506 good point about the supply cost. The reason I do not recommend Prometheus is that its 6 Burn by default, which means ADF will only give it 8.

Buffalo with a improvised flight deck and pilum are actually really good since they are basically the cheapest ship with a flighted wing by deployment points and it has long range missiles. Later game I use them for cheap defense fleets. Leave them in your colony and when defending the station pull them out. They stay behind the station cost like 2 points to deploy and provide you with more firepower and a fighter screen. Great ship to fill those last few deployment points.

That requires high levels of mechanical feats, and none are displayed in the video. I wouldn't even say this game takes any real "skill" to play. Technically, you could play the game with pure decision making, and let auto pilot do all the fighting(That's a lot less fun, but possible)... It's more about knowing things and making good decisions... It's a single player role playing game in space, meant for fun. Not to take away from JDCollie in any way, hes probably the best you're gonna find on KZbin, for all categories and all levels of players. JD is more entertaining to watch too, because he explains everything with clarity.

It's not your fault, the UI is weird, because the game was developed as a Matryoshka doll. For example, if you consider a game like XCOM, I call these things the technical stages where you have a strategic overview map separated from a tactical shootout game mode. In Starsector you basically have the tactical shootout as a completely separate minigame (much like in XCOM), but then the strategic overview is a game in itself (another technical stage), BUT with a convoluted UI system on top of it. The first interface (A) is what you use while you travel as you essentially actively play in this mode, but then you already have this B interface lingering somewhere else, say in the back of your mind, the one that's accessible through buttons 'Fleet' and 'Crew/Cargo', like in and out pocket screens that you go to when you want to immerse yourself into the technicalities. Interface C is what you get once you hit a "space event" dialogue screen (most often, when you land/dock somewhere). However in this mode, some screens are mutated, and the 'Fleet' screen has these really tiny tabs above it, Buy and Sell, which are so easy to miss. The issue stems from having the same screen recycled for different purposes, which is logical enough from a development perspective, but then, as a player, you don't get to learn that there are external factors that affect its state. Without knowing that you could even buy ships, you don't even begin looking for such a feature, and chances are that you will discover and learn the screen in its 'unrevealed' state, and then completely neglect it when it actually changes, thinking that you have already explored its possibilities. Professionally speaking, the UX is messy, but the game in general is fairly intuitive once you figure out its moving parts, and this is frankly the only thing saving the UX from being heavily criticized (apart from the game itself being brilliantly developed, of course). I've seen even more slick UIs in games being characterized as having things "all over the place" because people (and especially gamers) have a hard time mapping out the exact navigational layout of such abstract systems, that usually happens if a developer breaks an established pattern of habitual usage, and many inventive games or games that push the envelope simply need to do this. The other UI system I would criticize is that many tooltips ask you to press F1 to expand full information, some of which can be critical, and nobody seems capable at registering this. In this episode, when JD was talking about signature profile, he could've pressed F1 and see the breakdown of all of his ships.... Also just as an example, trading becomes a different beast altogether if you actually pay attention, and start pressing F1 while resting your mouse over market commodities. People are completely oblivious to this, and... Well, of course they are. While I appreciate the 'easy to learn, hard to master' concept, I don't think the UI itself should be an integral part of it. People consider such games as harder to use than they actually are, and needless to say, this can greatly affects their sale and/or playtime. Once such example is Dwarf Fortress, which is in fact incredibly easy to use (obviously if you can push your mind to read its dry ASCII representation), but only if you can figure out what is actually required from you, and good luck with that because of the terrible UX delivered by a terribly inconsistent and mostly non-extant UI.

@@jakewilferd6093 Yes, the game is heavily hotkey-centric, which is the legacy of its incremental development, and the way it was playtested. I seriously hope the dev will make time for an UI overhaul before v1.0, and I'm not saying this because I personally have problems with it, but the UI plays a large role in the user experience (especially in a technical game as it is), and its polish should be at least comparable to the rest of the game. Of course, I'm not talking about graphic design per se, the screens themselves are generally pleasant for the eyes, well organized and nicely drawn, however they can become busy with technicalities (this is exactly why the dev opted for the terrible F1 thing), the main font isn't exactly among the best of choices, and the usage heat map is all over the place, because many screens repeatedly break all conventions. It's the composition and navigation that should receive more love. Also GUI should come first, hotkeys second (and I'm all for hotkeys, don't get me wrong). All in all, you shouldn't feel dumb, as there is a noticeable learning curve, is all I'm saying. You'd also learn more about the game, and much quicker, if you could read its GUI like a restaurant menu (it's funny because this is exactly why we call these things menus), and basically learn your options and any prohibitions or extensions on the fly.

Some Free fun advice for players. You can edit the the settings.json with a word or notepad. "shipBuyPriceMult":1.2, is the default buy price. "shipSellPriceMult":.8, default is .4 , i use .8 and selling ships is now profitable. "hullWithDModsSellPriceMult":0.4, default is .2 , i use .4 and its profitable to sell ships with dmods depending on number of dmods :) You can edit a few other things ... just take your time and have a look. Always remember to COPY the original file first and paste it in a back up folder. So if you do something and cant remember what value you changed and its messed your game ..... Simply delete the edited version and copy paste the original version into its place. :) Your welcome.

Thank you for the videos. I do have some questions about refitting ships. Do you decide between vents and capacitors based on the size of the ship (faster/smaller = more vents; larger/slower= more capacitors)? As for weapons, how do you decide they're taking too many OP? I haven't figured out the balance between capacitors, vents and weapons yet. I have an easier time picking hull-mods.
@jiggly821
@jiggly821 5 жыл бұрын
Look at the weapon groups, inspect shield upkeep and flux/damage ratio, then look at kinetic/fragmentation/explosive damage types. Usually you want atleast enough Vents to sustain fire (note weapons with magazines here, they obviously burst huge amounts of flux until they start sustain fireing) you main weapons and 30-50% of your point defense groups (depending on how close the ship should be to the enemy) on larger/slower ships. Small ships CAN be good with more capacitors and hit&run strats, altought you will encounter enough ships that prefer capacitors despite their size. Weapons are on your preferency, early you want to pick low flux cost weapons or damaging ones, when you start defining your fleet type you can start balancing your ships around kinetic, energy and explosive damage. Keep in mind, if there is no real reason like as extreme range or special effect weapons, you always want to fully use your weapon slots to the fullest, so 2 large ballistic weapons with low OP > 1 Large and 1 Medium with high OP If you get into midgame, you may start picking up very unique ships that behave in completely different ways, a few neither need capacitors or vents, a few dont even use weapons or fighters.
@jdcollie258
@jdcollie258 5 жыл бұрын
@@jiggly821 In general I've found that capacitors tend to be more useful on smaller and faster ships, as they can dance out and vent, while vents tend work better on larger, slower ships that will spend more time passively venting. That's just a loose guideline of course, but it's been fairly reliable so far.

For anybody who is still watching this or rather only watching this now. 09:45 what you want to do instead of Mothballing a ship to tug it along and sell it. Is SCUTTLE it. Dont believe me see for yourself! If you have a mothballed ship, look at the price when you hover over the sell button, see how much credits you get? Now hover over the scuttle button. See how many supplies and fuel and sometimes Heavy Machinery it says you will get? Now go into the market and see how much money you will make selling that many of each of those things. Usually it will be 40-60% more profitable to scuttle a ship instead of selling it. Though at the end of the day you still get very little in terms of profit.

How to make fat stacks of cash? Sellect fast start salvage fleet. Go to Hybrasil and wait for a few missions for Heavy Armanment transport. After earning some cash you maybe transported some to Donn... If merchant convoys are destroyed by Tri-Tachion or Mercanaries the prices of Drugs, Organs, Domestic Goods and Food will skyrocket. Buying drugs at 160 per unit at Eo Breich (where drugs are legal and it is an open port, and drugs are cheap) and sometimes selling up to 700 per unit, Organs tend to i even higher. I've made millions in Hybrasil with smuggling and selling it to Pirates and an Independent planet in the System. You can make artificial scarcity as well but I haven't tested it yet ( I.e destroying convoys and smugglers to the pirate base and making a monopoly). Then upgrade salvaging to the max and go explore, it's quite profitable as well.

Alternating means If you have 2 or 3 weapons in a group they will fire one-by-one. Linked means they will all fire simultaneously. A good idea for manual weaponm group use can be to set them to Alternating. Because if that weapon group does 100 Flux/sec with 2 weapons, setting it to Alternating effectively makes it 50 Flux/sec since you can choose not to fire the second gun. Alternating does require a lot of spamming the Left Mouse button though.

Hi, new player here. And though this video is fairly old now, i hope someone will still notice. Why are Buffalos so bad ? As a dedicated Cargo Ship they strike me as pretty good. Is it the fund commitment that early ? Is it because they suck in combat ? All freighter somewhat do imo. I kinda aim for seperating my cargo and combat ships early, so i always thought getting a Buffalo (especially the Hegemony (A) version) or two early would be a good idea as i always run out of cargo space when pirate hunting/exploring. Are Colossi that much more efficient maybe ? I am also worried about Burn Speed with bigger ships. Ive read a bit on the forums, but the topic is severely outdated with much more slow Burn Speeds for Cargo ships, which i thought might be why there is this bias against designated cargos ? Anyway, from what i gathered multiple Shephards might be an alternative for early game as they are somewhat combat capable ? I'd really like to know a lot more on that topic, but don't really know where to start (other than reading the stats and so on and then testing it out for myself, which is fun i guess). But if anyone could elaborate a bit more or point me into the direction of ressources on that topic, i'd be very grateful. Other than that, great content, i'll definately keep watching =)

I've had one for my fleet and within the first minute, a missle has struck it and now it's out of the game. It could be a decent ship in the hands of a player but with the ai, since it has no shield will just get destroyed instantly by anything with rockets which is common later on into the game

They were taken from recommendations from viewers. If you want to name a ship, just let me know and I'll add it to the list :D

How good or bad is autofit? I seem to use it a lot to fit my ships while I'm stilling learning.

From what I've seen with it, autofit does a decent job of getting guns on your ships in something approaching a sane way. To be completely honest though I've never seriously used autofit, so I can't really speak with authority on its effectiveness. :(

Another downside to note about salvaging and mothballing, if a ship isn’t at the right CR level you can’t transjumo with it. Still early in this play through so prolly why not mentioned.

Yeah, I haven't gone over transverse jumping yet. I was actually planning on explaining it though in Friday's episode :D

Selling ships is only profitable if they are pristine. And even then, you're probably barely getting more value from that than you would from junking the ship, certainly if the hull has d-mods.

Really not a fan of the rapid CR loss in combat, it seems to kick in way too soon (and doesn't make much sense on ships which are in fine condition still)
