The Conquests Begin | Starsector Galactic Conquest | #12

[@matthewsampson8565]

I cannot express how much I appreciate the TL;DR of the colony building. I have stopped watching a lot of Starsector playthroughs because there is a 6-12 episode story arc of "Kill pirates to kill time while I build up a dozen planets" I get that the Grind is part of the Game, but the Grind is more fun to do than to watch. Love that the war march has started, its about time they find out that the destination of the Luddic Path is Oblivion.

[@LargelyUnemployed]

I appreciate you appreciating it! I actually had recorded the entire build-up process, but after editing it I realised it was just 2 identical episodes of very little happening. It broke up the flow of the series way too much.

[@Mithraschosen]

Great work, once again. The themed runs are a lot of fun. Dino pack, assemble! lol I could watch your starsector runs every day.

[@skarleom5436]

I bought children of time by adrian Tchaikovsky after you talked about it, and I'm very glad I did

[@LargelyUnemployed]

It's so good right?? I tell everyone who will listen 😂

[@Briggsby]

"These ancient ruins really aren't that useful." Uhh, you could take the empty forge template it gives you, deconstruct your carrier with the forge blueprint on it, take that to a forge, and produce a FLEET of Capital Carriers. As one example.

[@LargelyUnemployed]

Don't have a Forge. I was saying that the ones we currently have don't do much for us on their own.

[@petterheitmann4184]

Im a bit weird but i love to see everything you do, so i can understand the game better and see your way forward.

[@LargelyUnemployed]

I'll definitely show more in another series, but this one is already going to be very long! The grind up to this point was very repetitive.

[@ragnarrskulkrew6232]

For Planetary Invasions you should make sure to check the ( Auto-move At Turn End) option, makes taking over places real easy!

[@LargelyUnemployed]

I didn't even see that option, thanks man!

[@FrickinShark]

Send forth the Raptors of Ruin! And thanks for including the modlist. The adjusted sector mod is just what I've been looking for! Also, how did you reach 18 administrators without like 300 pop count? Is it a setting you tweak in Nexerelin, or something from another mod?

[@LargelyUnemployed]

You can edit the max admin cap in the settings.json file! Its amazing how much you can change (without mods) just by playing around in there. Just be sure to save a backup somewhere in case you break something.

[@FunkThompson]

I love Diable's ships and wanzers, though they take a LOT of work to make truly shine (I'm using the mod that lets ships get XP to add more built-in hullmods.) Build-in WINGCOM, Hardened + Extended Shields, and Ballistic mods and their battlecarriers just rock. But man, do they invariably get their asses kicked by the rest of the sector.

[@LargelyUnemployed]

They also look fantastic

[@pawerszramus]

Ah yes. The one series I instantly click on.

Huh? How'd you get the dp to be so high? File editing or mod?

[@LargelyUnemployed]

File editing :) I changed it in episode 10 or 11.

[@parkquest8334]

What are your adjusted sector settings?

[@LargelyUnemployed]

The ones recommended by the mod. Only thing I changed was to make it a square.

What mod are you using that gets rid of the Deployment Point restriction? Makes the game a lot easier in my opinion.

[@LargelyUnemployed]

I just edited it in the config file. I've got a tutorial on how to do it on the channel. The deployment limit for the AI was set to 2x mine for balance though. It shows up a lot more towards the end of the series

[@Kozak006]

@@LargelyUnemployedThanks for clarifying, I'm enjoying the series.

[@teoadam-682]

If doom city reduce ground defence by %95 then why wasting spot on them?

[@LargelyUnemployed]

Because they also reduce hazard rating by a lot, which makes the colonies profitable. I can just remove it if they're going to be attacked.

You need to get on with operatives, they are broken. Pls name one Jesus Christus :D

I've never used them! What should I aim for?

@@LargelyUnemployed You cen just get 1 and set him loose auto deployment works best with just 1. He cost some money but disrupts Panther cells in yours colonis. Really good when you start popping those Alfa boys like tick tacks

[@FunkThompson]

@@LargelyUnemployed Ideally, you just need one "hybrid" operative set to internal security. You can do shenanigans with saboteurs and such, but they overall don't have a huge effect. Mostly you want your one operative on internal security finding the luddic path and pirate bases and disrupting the luddic path cells on your worlds. Basically one operative = almost never having to deal with loss of stability from LP idiots.

[@paulunga]

Thanks for skipping the colony management stuff. But why keep the battles in, it's just the same stuff over and over?

[@LargelyUnemployed]

I figured at least there's something happening on screen

[@goku1591]

I know this was a year ago but still your off camera actions turned my interest in your content from must watch to crap. The point of uploading a series is all of it. You magically found a paragon off camera that's something people want to see....

[@LargelyUnemployed]

Hey man, I'm sorry to hear the time skip upset you this much. Making these series (especially the longer ones) is a balancing act between comprehensiveness and pacing. I didn't want to bog-down a Galactic Conquest series with 3 more episodes of identical colony upgrade grind, so I didn't include that footage. As for the Paragon, we already had one and they're not hard to salvage from bounty contracts (especially once you have one!) I'm not sure where the issue lies?

[@goku1591]

@LargelyUnemployed gaining a capital ship does matter. This far into the series you have even admitted yourself you forget what you have recorded and haven't recorded. Which has led the content to be more scattered and hard to follow. The story is in the battles and the bases go boom. The rewards for victory. Yes it is a galactic epic but even of it feels like a filler episode to you. It is very interesting in the grand scheme of things. In the series at this point you weren't to a level of making capital ships. You have 3. Which in its self is awesome, paragon are more relatively rate than you are making out. However I play vanilla so I can see how it's a non factor to you.
