@@ztac_dex you can totally make money off trade in the early game. If you start a new game try raiding a pirate station and destroy its spaceport. You don’t need a lot of marines to do this. Destroying the spaceport means the pirate settlement can’t receive any trade shipments, so if you wait a couple cycles and come back they will have depleted all their resources and will be willing to pay an arm and a leg for basically anything you sell them. You’ll make the most money off selling drugs but you can sell them anything and they will buy it. It’s a fun way to play god with the poor pirates :)

[@tankj0ck3y]

The reasoning for expeditions still going is that they’re acting without explicit orders from their government. That’s why you don’t take a huge rep hit for destroying them. Sure they’re an asset to their military, but they also acted independently without permission from their commanders.

This game gets insane. I installed a few mods a while back, leading to a crapton more weapons and ships, my favourite being the cathedral-class hubship. To anyone not familiar with it, it’s essentially 7 ships strapped together and about the size of a space station. I then made the best mistake of my life. I equipped it with singularity torpedos. As you’d expect, these produce miniature black holes, sucking in anything nearby. The pilot fired them off like party poppers, leading to both it, and another cathedral getting stuck together. It was then that I discovered that its death explosion is quite possibly the most destructive thing I’ve ever seen in game. It proceeded to kill both itself, and the other full health cathedral (and these things are *HARD* to kill) in one go. This lead to a flash of inspiration. I found myself a reckless pilot, put them on the ship, applied every speed mod I could, gave it a smack on the bum, and sent it straight into combat. And that’s the story of how I made the most inefficient bomb in existence

[@magosexploratoradeon6409]

there's something that seth forgot to mention that i think makes this game even more of a masterpiece. while this game is very easy to mod, it's even easier to do it yourself! you can simply go into the game's files and modify any aspect of the game you want. values for missions, fleets, and you can even change the weapon layouts of specific ships. going into the settings config, they basically walkthrough some of the important stuff and lay it out for you. this game doesn't hide its code, it fully allows you to make it your own game if you don't like specific details about vanilla. i personally wanted to have a possibility of owning half the star sector, so i changed the value of max outpost you character can hold to about 10 or 15. i don't know if other games are like this or not, but from what i heard, they aren't. i'm not a programmer in the slightest, yet in under 30 minutes i was able to reprogram the entire game to how i wanted it with no penalty whatsoever. the devs are truly one of a kind.

Decided to play this game. I found a particularly profitable trade route: there was an isolated Luddic Path mining planet in a certain star system, the only planet in said star system, without any protection and in dire need of heroin. About 1 day away, in the nearest star, an independent colony was producing a jack shit ton of heroin. They weren't the largest producers in the galaxy, but when you put the accumulated costxprofit of buying all the heroin from the colony and selling it to the Jihads, buying their ores and selling back to the colony, it was a goddamn Space Silk Road. A "Heroin" Road, if you will. Nonexistent patrols meant that I could run with my transponder off non-stop and after just a few upgrades my fleet was the top dog in the region. Life was good. Well, once you get rich you want to settle down, of course, so I decided to colonize an irradiated planet in the independent star system, because for some reason a planet that was completely irradiated still had a lower hazard rate than the other barren worlds nearby. Turns out that the independent faction did not like my plans of turning a glowing dead rock into a glowing rock with people in it, so they launched a plan to bombard my brand new colony and kill everyone in it. If someone makes a public threat of nuclear annihilation, I'd say it's fair to answer in kind. So after negotiations failed (because turns out that 1000 workers consume A LOT of supplies per day, and that ate through my funds), I simply traveled to the independent planet that was organizing the raid before they could deploy, just a week away, very convenient. Once I got in orbit, I bombarded the planet, making it go barren. Everyone else decided to call me a nazi fascist and I got canceled on twitter. Even the jihadis were just baffled at what I had done. Still, they needed that heroin, and the independents needed to sell their heroin, so business as usual. That is, of course, until I decided to take two pirate's contracts, and as I flew in to deliver the second, my fleet got swarmed by 6 different fleets trying to get my head, because everyone hated me for killing the people trying to kill me. Great game, 10/10.

Basically, if a game gets big praise and good rating by someone reliable like it is the case with Sseth, people are more inclined to support the developer so he can continiue with the good shit by getting an official copy, rather than pirate it for free.

[@hopper453]

a sincere thanks, sseth. this video led me to some of the greatest experiences i’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. first save, i uh, somehow unlocked a pirate smuggler contact in askonia and ended up getting friendly with them over the course of three or so cycles through legally dubious covert ops around its closest systems. their bounties were generally aimed against the league and the diktat, and it also introduced me to raiding. it was lucrative. dropping thousands of marines into a colony after a tactical bombardment and robbing them of supplies felt like free money at the time. it was rad. my pirate buddies also took advantage of this, to my surprise, as the colonies were unstable and their patrol fleets greatly weakened after my repeated attacks. i appreciated the help, as they distracted any remaining fleets and allowed me to travel through hostile territory with impunity. couple cycles later, i took up exploring and colony management after i made enough dough. with a large enough contingent of supply ships, fuel tankers, and cargo freighters, i could safely stay in deep space for several months at a time and explore to my heart’s content. i had turned a new leaf. one morning, on a pit stop to my now-successful colony, i started getting notices about planetary governments losing control of their population. the names seemed familiar-it was the colonies that i raided at the start of my save. one by one, the persean league and the diktat lost planets to rampant banditry and looting due to the local population growing desperate with the lack of supplies. i visited them out of curiosity, and sure enough, the pirates stayed long after i left, driving colony after colony to anarchy. i had let them in. 10/10. it’s amazing.

I've been playing this game for a year or so, and it's fantastic. Highly recommend, some of the best $15 I've ever spent. The game does some things which you wouldn't expect a game to do. I found a ton of valuable blueprints in an abandoned station in the middle of space, and some of the big battleship designs were duplicates of what I already had, so obviously I chose to sell them for profit. But why would I pay that 30% trade tariff? Nah man, fuck that shit. So, I docked at a pirate station and sold them the battleship blueprints on the black market. ...big mistake. I mean, I really should have thought that through. Within a few years, the pirates attacking my merchant fleets had high-tech battleships... built from the designs I'd sold to them. I had to spend millions upgrading my colony world Patrol HQs so I could have larger escort fleets for my merchant convoys, completely negating any profit I made off selling those blueprints. It was awesome. I love a game with that level of depth. And it's just gonna keep getting better.

[@bass-dc9175]

So far: I have started with a Hammerhead and during the tutorial, i have gotten myself a second one. My first instinct was to go exploring, ran out of fuel and got pulled towards a red star with a yellow warning beacon where I stumbled upon a discarded Mothership. I saved, approached it, upon which it instantly vaporised me. After reloa... reincarnating in a previous timeline, I looked around and saw two fleets in combat. The Ludic Church where fighting a fleet of ȑ̷̺͕e̴̝̿̕m̷͙͚̫̒̂̋è̴̗̼̮n̴̡̫͆̽͆ả̸͍n̴͕͆t̸̖̆̊͘. I joined the fight and scavanged a few parts of the fleet: Including an Alpha core. I scouted around and found 2 Research stations near 2 close Neutron Stars, which gave me more blueprints and weapons than I could every imagine. Most of which I do not even know what to do with. A distress signal caused a Tri Tachyon fleet to notice my lack of fuel, so they helped me out. Upon which I ofcourse compensated them with 20000 Spacebitcoins. I was now nearly broke, but I made it back to civilised space, after a few pitstops in sectors where I scavenged for fuel ... and a few Gamma Cores. I went to a Tri Tachyon spacestation, where I wanted to sell my findings. But instead of going to the trade window, I clicked on communication. Another missclick lead me to talk with the administrator, which informed me that I could turn in the AI cores for money. I checked how much he would give me, went to the market and looked at the price it normally goes for. This is how I, through stupidity or intuition, found out that you get 3 times the money from selling it to the tri tachyon directly. I now have the "Killer Queen" ship, a small fleet, and 1 million credits. My next goal was to find a habitable planet, with a few mining ones in the same system. ... After 5 hours of checking systems I found ONE which was habitable. It even had rich Ore and Special Ore deposits! Which would be nice if it wheren't for the fact that it is: A) The only planet in the system and B) Close to a Red Dwarf, which causes it to have such a high gravity, that even mundane tasks like Walking are only possible with a reinforced Exosceleton. And here I sit now: 600.000 credits, a small fleet, no planet to call my own and a Ship that can teleport landmines into other ships. But having no clue what to do next. 10/10 Can't wait to continue.

[@bass-dc9175]

The Story goes on. Having failed in finding any descent planet, I decided that I will set up my home base right there. A decorative Green Warning beacon at my doorstep wards of smaller fleets, but I did not expect what happened next. As soon as I started my colony, a nearby Pirate base sprung into action. My money slowly starts to drain as I have to deffend it myself. A new message popped up telling me that a Sizable raid is being planned on my Planet and I watched in terror as 2 huge fleets of pirates jumped into my sector. The risk I took was calculated, but damn: I suck at math. That was the moment when another fleet entered my system. No transponder on, it came close to my planet and ... it was a scavenger fleet, send by the independent which singlehandedly deffended the entire raid and continued to stay around as my Orbital deffense and Patrol Station finished building. My slew of Contracts started to pay off, as I now had an unpaid bodyguard, while I was off to sells some of my goods. Time passes, raids are being deffended and my Mining - Heavy industry planet started to bear fruits. Metal fruits. Delicious heavy armaments, to the point where I was being targeted for cornering the market with my tons of tanks. Both the Ludic Path and the Dictate launched actions against me, which I deflected with bribes and just ignoring the sleeper cells in my collony. My Nanoforge working day and night as I supplied the Tri Tachyon with armaments, to finance upgrading my deffenses. I now have a few fleets patroling my sector, including a large scavanger fleet that has only one goal: Fucking up pirates, giving me time to do missions as I continue to look for another nearby system, that could give me a planet for producing antimatter fuel. The steady stream of smugglers that buy from my private Black Market financing my excursions. I can only hope that the 2 bases (Lud. Path and Pirates) that target my world do not ruin it, untill I got a sizable fleet to anhialate them instead.

[@bass-dc9175]

My Collony has drawn attention. Multiple factions start to harras me, alltho I did manage to clear my home of pirates. I landed on a Tri Tachyon station ... and saw a green chatbox pop up at the bar. A disgrunteled old merch chats with me about a red planet. A glowing red planet. A glowing mechanical red planet. I start to investigate. ... After a brief encounter with a fleet of Remnant, which orbit the red planet, I quickly ran away. Not touching that for a while ... but the mystery of the red planet will stay in the back of my head. I think I need a bigger fleet. An old research station in the area did make my trip not entirely unfruitfull. Blueprints for an ASTRAL carrier? Nice. The cost of bribing commanders start to outweigh the benefits ... I think I have to grind for a few missions to get them off my back. I completed a Tri Tachyon mission, where I had to retrieve an Alpha Core ... which nets me a large sum of blueprints and Gamma + Beta cores. Lucky me: It was directly next to my home system. Did I forget to mention that my Home base is next to 3 Black holes? I found a small planet with additional Volatiles, just 3 lightyears away from my home. I think I will use this as my second planet, which houses Fuel and Drug manufacturing ... but the Black hole in the system makes me uncomfortable. Hmmm. If I spread my industry a bit, then I can even Tech-Harvest the ruins on my home planet. Have to look into this.. My fleet is getting larger and larger. Perhaps it is time I look into building my own ships. I will start with a nice ASTRAL for heavy fighter support. With my current industry, that should take two months. I did notice that Pirates start using more exotic fighters ... They seem familiar. I did sell a few blueprints of these on the black market ... I guess it did bite me in the back. I don't even want to think about what would happen if I sold the ASTRAL blueprint there ...

[@bass-dc9175]

My Investment paid of. Having two Astral in my fleet lets me clear of any pirate station I encountered. It is time to expand. Agressively. I can manage 4 planets and have 2 administrators. That should be enough for a while. A Cryovulcanic planet with abundant volatiles, a Toxic world for drug production. I start to tech them up as fast as I can, before pirates start to notice. In the meantime, I return to the Red planet with a fleet of 3 battlecruisers and 2 carriers as my main fightforce. ... Suffering minimal losses I dispatch of the small fleet in orbit and land on the red planet. Appearently it was a Tri Tachyon research lab and the staff is overjoyed in me resqueing them. My reward? The Blueprints for a planet wide deffensive shield. Nice, but as of right now: a tad bit expensive. I did also find clues towards a high danger sector ... which houses a underdeveloped Space Station. Lets go check it out! After fighting through an abundance of small AI fleets, I approach the station and vaporise it. No blueprints, but a few Alpha cores. I will have to keep that in mind. The planets however ... they seem interesting. One in abundance of minerals, the other nothing special, except for the massive ruin layout on both. A perfect system for a Tech-mining outpost. I colonise these two aswell and recieve a hint towards a Gasgiant with high volatiles in a nebula nearby. I could support that aswell ... I arive in a system with a nice gas Giant ... but that is not all. A rich mining Moon orbits it, aswell as a very nice habitable planet and a moon with low hazard rating and nothing else. I colonise botht he Gas Giant and the Habitable world. This shall be my main system. I looked forever for something like this! I need more administrators ... that alpha core looks rather intriguing but I will hold back as of now. My Empire has to grow first and I need to take care of a certain group of radical space fanatics first. The Crusarian Empire is starting off strong and I plan to get stronger and stronger. But I need more blueprints ... I guess I will look for more research stations.

[@bass-dc9175]

The Crusarian Empire grows. With 7 Worlds under my feet I noticed something: I want more, but I can not hire more administrators ... but alpha cores do not count as ones. My core world is now managed by an alpha core. So far: noone noticed and I intend on keeping it that way. I am still on the hunt for more blueprints, since my Capital ship choice is limited to two ships. The Paragon looks like a nice ship. Haven't managed to beat one with any of my ships in a combat simulation. ... I scanned every Blackhole, every Neutron star, searched far and wide for Blueprints and found no Paragon Blueprint. Nor did I fight against one ever. My Planets are fully maxed out, while I went on a mad scramble for blueprints. I need more power in my fleet! And then ... I ran out of Supplies right as I was exploring a research station at the far reaches of the Sector. I had to scramble together the few resources I could salvage and make a mad dash for the nearest system, which could sell me supplies ... 30 days away. I barely had enough to last for 5, not to mention the storms I had to fly through. One lightning strike struck my Atlas Cargo ship and fried it to a crisp. A few frigates lost their crew and blew up shortly after, my Fuel ships where kept on repairs for the first few days, because if they go: I am done for. With 25% of my fleet in critical, and the rest in near critical condition I finally reached a Persean Planet in the YMA system. Restocking on supplies was expensive, but it did allow me to reach my home planet. ... But jsut to be sure I tried something. I realised, in my exploration rampage, that Planets with surrounding Asteroids or debree tend to have ruins on them, which can also house supplies weapons and other things. And the system had 2 planets that both had debree surrounding them ... and that means: Ruins. My crew came back with a few supplies, fuel, weapons and a Blueprint ... for a Paragon. The blueprint I was looking for was right next door to my system and I searched the entire sector for it. There are a few things I will do now. First: Build a few Paragons. Second: Mercs. I need a few for what I am about to do. Third: During my exploration, pirates and a few other factions raided one of my worlds. And I thirst for revenge.

[@bass-dc9175]

At first, I wanted my empire to be a legal paradise, without using AI cores. Oh how times have changed. Due to my numerous mining colonies, I inevitably also became the number one export of drugs. Crushing pirates beneath my feet if they even dare to compete. As my Empire solidifies into an impenetrable force, my fleet began to reflect my change in philosophy. Before, I focused on low tech ships and the occasional Mine Teleporter. Now? "Everyone get in the fighters and throw yourself at this station!" The beauty of 5 Astrals launching a fleet of bombers and fighters is something. The terror of seeing 120 bombers and fighters flying towards you is something else. Some of them may not come back, but that is a price I am willing to let them take. There is nothing more delightful than seeing a pirate space station get atomised withing a few seconds of engagement. I begin to become completely self sustaining. And I start to become rather furious with the Hedge, after they confiscated my beloved Alpha Core. Perhaps it is time to show them that you should not wake a sleeping giant.

Heres my first experience with the game: After getting through the tutorial, I took on a lot of exploration jobs, salvaging and selling information on ancient satellites, surveying planets, etc. One particular mission was to survey an ice giant in a far-away system. I decided I had the fuel to make it and it would be some good money. About half-way through the journey I encountered a jaw-droppingly massive hyperspace cloud, thing was incredibly large. I checked up and down and there was no way over it, so I decided to go through it. Biggest mistake of my life, the damn thing was never-ending. I then realized I forgot to bring a surplus of supplies. Only fuel. Once I ran out of supplies my fleet slowly got tore apart by the storms due to well, not having supplies to repair the damage. Once my fuel ran out I started drifting towards the nearest gravity well automatically. I was initially quite relaxed about it since I could just send a distress signal and hopefully someone would come, but as I drifted closer I noticed something nearby the gravity well; a warning beacon. Before I realized exactly what that meant I was pulled into the well, exiting hyperspace to find myself next to a star. Nothing seemed wrong so I was about to send a distress signal until: a massive fleet of [REDACTED] suddenly whizzed by me. Then another. Then another. I had no idea how I didn't get spotted. I decided "fuck it, maybe if I send a distress signal someone friendly will find me before they do", and went ahead. About 3 in-game days later and finally someone arrived; a ship from the independent faction. As they came in, I noticed a fleet of [REDACTED] was already chasing them. They quickly went over to my ship, gave me fuel, and went as fast as possible away from me. Amazingly, the [REDACTED] were too distracted to notice me and they kept chasing after my rescuer. I went completely dark and started sneaking towards the jump point, [REDACTED] flying around me constantly. Again, no idea how they didn't notice I was there. I made it to the jump point and had JUST enough fuel to make it to a habitable system. I made it into the system with 3 fuel left, using it to dock at a station and finally, I bought the supplies and fuel necessary, repaired my fleet, and all was well. tl;dr Was on a hyperspace voyage when I ran out of fuel and drifted into a system full of [REDACTED], somehow going undetected long enough for a rescue ship to re-fuel me and going undetected for an even longer period to sneak to the jump point. This game is amazing.

[@Kitkat-986]

I'd been on the run from the law for months now. It all started when I got caught smuggling a shipment of weaponry and narcotics to the Luddic Panthers. The price on my head was into the millions of credits, enough for every perspective bounty hunter this side of Jangala to have a crack at me. I'd been hiding out in the outer reaches of space for months, but supplies were running low, and I had no choice but to return to civilized space and risk running into the Hegemony's lackies or watch my fleet deteriorate before my eyes as supplies run dry, stranded in some godforsaken frontier system without enough fuel to make it home. I had two choices. I could try to make a supply run in Tri-Tachyon space, or in Sindrian space. Neither are fond of me, but if the worst came to happen, I didn't like my odds against the fast, sleek, modern warships of a Tri-Tachyon hunter fleet coming to collect the bounty on my head. The Sindrian government was openly hostile towards the Hegemony, and maybe I could hope for shelter in Sindrian space, provided I followed their laws. As I begun to pull away from Sindria, my fleet freshly repaired and supplies restocked, I noticed a large sensor contact. A large fleet running dark. As they drew closer, it became apparent they were pursuing me. I made out individual ships, Heron class carriers, Brawler gunships, Hammerhead class destroyers, and most worryingly, a Conquest class battlecruiser with Sindrian markings on it, indicating it as a prime Sindrian warship. This fleet was a privateer fleet sanctioned and bankrolled by the Sindrian government to kill me and claim the bounty on my head, and their flagship, all 3 million tons of her, was proof enough of their authority, and if it wasn't, the nearby Sindrian patrol fleet and orbital battlestation I had been docked and trading with mere hours before powering up their weapons as they moved to engage sure were. The battle commenced with fighter strikes from the Sindrian carriers and battlestation, flak fire from my own ships and my own fighter squadrons moving to engage the hostile squadrons in a huge dogfight. I knew I needed to destroy both the battlestation and cripple the hostile fleet too badly for them to pursue me if I wanted to get out of this alive. My frigates, cruisers and destroyers met with theirs in a desperate, lopsided battle for survival. Early on I focused the majority of my cruiser force on engaging that hostile battlestation. We traded blows with the Leviathan for several minutes, and lost several ships in the process, but finally we managed to overload it's shields. At that moment, every single missile armed ship within 3000 SU launched a massive barrage of high explosive ordinance. Harpoons, Hammers, Reapers, every breed of missile and torpedo in the fleet streaking for the station simultaneously. The station lit up with a hundred explosions in the span of mere seconds as it's thick armor belt failed under the withering barrage, and the entire station was left a burning hulk. This victory was a crucial glimmer of hope for my fleet's survival, but the battle was far from over. The Conquest class Battlecruiser alone possessed as much firepower as half my fleet. The broadside salvos it put out were wreaking havoc on my battle line, it had already claimed several of my escort ships and a light cruiser. My flagship, the CNS Hyura, a Dominator class heavy cruiser, had taken damage from flanking frigates and bomber squadrons. I knew that to win this, I needed to strike a decisive blow. Shortly after ordering every available ship to focus fire on the Conquest, sensors picked up a whole squadron of bombers headed for my flagship's flank. I couldn't afford to lose this ship, and in a desperate bid to avoid the bombing run, I engaged the ship's burn drive, narrowly dodging a rocket strike that would have crippled my engines and evicerated my armor belt. In my desperation, my burn drive rocketed the cruiser directly into the derelict battlestation, overloading the ship's drives and flaming out the engines. Here I am, drifting helplessly, end over end in my Dominator, engines offline as I watch my fleet struggle to hold their own against the Sindrian battle line. The Conquest had been ruthless, laying broadside after broadside into my outgunned cruisers and destroyers, but it's limits were starting to show. It's guns starting firing sporadically and it's shields flicker as it's reactor struggled to keep up with the demands of intense combat. Normally, my fleet would respond with a powerful missile salvo to punch through it's shields and armor and deal a deadly blow to the vessel, but the majority of my fleet's missile ordinance had been exhausted destroying the battlestation. Practically the only ship left in the fleet with any strike weapons was the Hyura herself, with a trio of Reaper class torpedo tubes, devastatingly powerful weapons able to disembowel the most formidable warships with just a few hits. But the Hyura was tumbling end over end, engines flamed out. And then... A flash of hope... I realized that the Hyura's wild, uncontrolled spin happened to line up perfectly with the Conquest. I assumed manual control of the Hyura's torpedo armerment, and as her wild spin was just about to line up with the Conquest, I let go one, two all three Reaper tubes. My timing was impeccable. The momentum of the ship's spin carried the torpedoes into a perfect trajectory, a one in a million shot, the trifecta. All three torpedoes struck the Conquest and it's hull shuddered as if it were struck by the hammer of Thor, and it's reactor lit up in an explosion that momentarily blinded every sensor in two thousand kilometers. In one single move, my flamed out, drifting flagship had landed a decisive blow and turned one of the most powerful ships in the system into a debris field within seconds. At this moment, the battle was won, and the Sindrians were forced into retreat. We all have our tales to tell of plying the great expanse of the Persian sector, but of all the moments of my career as a fleet commander, none will ever surpass the time I destroyed a Conquest class Battlecruiser without any engines on my flagship.

Endless Sky, which is free on Steam, is basically Escape Velocity, like almost a carbon copy but with less soul. If you played EV you'd get the comparison to this game, which is hilarious because I paid the same way for SS as I did for my copy of EV back in the 90s.

For those who don't know, the anime that was on 11:29 is called Cowboy Bebop. It is a very good show. It is very funny and the fight scenes are satisfying to watch. The story is about a small group of bounty hunters who are just trying to get by financially, but with their luck they aren't so secure. Traveling among the stars and excepting every bounty that gets them dinner is all that is on their minds as they struggle. What's also unique about it is that the show, unlike most other international tv shows, is that it is a love letter to western culture. The soundtrack is a good blend of jazz and rock, the charcters gamble with their money, and the architecture looks very retro, despite it taking place in the future. I highly recomend watching it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. It also has a very good english dub.

@@TheStonewall117 is that the distress signal? i cant buy the game right now cuz im broke and i need to know

[@SadenIsWatchin]

@@ulfricstormcloak7629 No. Issue with the distress signal is either it's a fleet in need of some fuel, or a fuck massive pirate fleet that will fuck your face early, mid and sometimes late game.

alternatively, if you don't have a salvager or a colony, go fucking broke maintaining the thing because crew aren't free

The Industry speech near the end at 16:57 with the hundreds of merchant guild members and music by FASTLAND always makes me tear up just a bit. So many people all doing their thing and indirectly working together to make a product way better than a AAA company could ever hope to achieve. *Man.*

It has now been 10 days since Seth got me to legitimately acquire this game. At present I own roughly 50% of all the fuel market share in the sector through my colonies Tatooine and TaTWOine that run completely legitimately and definitely without the use of 2 Alpha, 2 Beta and a metric shitload of Gamma cores. I still suck at combat and the doom class phase cruiser is just about the only good ship I have but who cares I'm rich and I'm gonna end the space jihad. Thanks Seth, I'm gonna drop out of college after I fail all of my finals because of this. 10/10 Would play again, and will.

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

@@CHURCHISAWESUM Well thanks KZbin for not telling me I got these comments. I have no need to use the space jihadis for profit cause I already get like 450k a month for doing nothing. Or at least I did until my hard drive got wiped and I lost that save. I will never forget you captain Fluctus and your legendary defiance of bowing down to Hegemony "laws" and "common decency".

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

@Nospam Spamisham I think I got up to like 75% control of the market before my hard drive got wiped, It was fun, but I never amassed the balls to go annihilate other planets, I was just content sitting in my own pocket of the universe and making metric assloads of money. I started a new playthrough last night and took a random start with the goal of becoming a self serving Jackass. Right now I can't even catch a small damaged pirate fleet and have no money for fuel to get to the easy exploration missions. Wish me luck!

The luddic chruch doesn't hate the luddic path. They'll support each others battles when within range to join in on the fight. This will also make the church hostile towards the player, or other fleets that had any church reinforcements join the luddic path. Also this game recently been updated. So check it out.
