The MEME Starsector mod that is secretly AMAZING | PAGSM Mod Review

Subscribe to the channel here: / ironcladlion
Who are the Sindrian Fuel Company? In this video, we take a look at a Starsector meme mod, that has developed into something amazing. A video three months in the making, and the LONGEST script I've ever written, this video felt like a... Marathon. There are quite a few jokes hidden in ship names and subtitles, can you find them all?
Huge thanks to WMGreywind for letting me interview him and review the PAGSM mod. And thank you to all my supporters for funding the channel and supporting my work.

Other things I didn't have room for:
PAGSM is still very much in development, so many things are still a work-in-progress and are being updated. Expect changes to character art, ships, interactions, everything really. What you see in the video is highly subject to change.
Through the making of this video, I did encounter some rather serious health issues which will be ongoing fights for future production. You may notice significant changes in my voice in certain parts of the video. I encourage all viewers to make healthy choices, and make your health one of your top priorities.
Much love as always to the core Starsector development team for creating one of my favorites games of all time. When I say things like "Vanilla Diktat is boring", I mean no disrespect, I just find other factions more interesting. Their passion and work allows mods like PAGSM to exist, and for that, we thank you. If you enjoy Starsector modding and enjoyed this video, consider supporting Starsector Development and purchasing the game on their official site at: fractalsoftworks.com/
As always, big thanks to my loving wife for the constant support and doing some voice lines. I wouldn't be able to make these videos without you.

Even after giving Runi the ship of her dream, I also give her IS - 20000 3 UAF Semibre so she could enjoy herself to the fullest. A dozen friendly ships and 3 allied stations were dead in blue-on-blue accidents, but that's all worth it. Truly one of the mods of all time.

[@exudeku]

I love how the entire mod has a community easter eggs and references, like the Yunru/Yunri-like characters referencing a certain modder that makes Pirates and the Luddites way stronger and based

Another mod review to sell me on, keep giving me more anime women to add to my game. In all seriousness, I always look forward to these reviews, they're a blast to watch and revives my desire to play starsector again.

Man, Yunris Kween is such a cool character.

I was there when he first posted the mod. I was the first to witness this man's rise to power. *And it was a thing that no mere mortal was ever meant to see.*

This mod can only be described as that astronaut meme where they're looking at earth. Astronaut 1: "It's just fuel?" Astronaut 2 *loads fuel gun*: "Always has been."

[@ovaldreamx4397]

When these reviews get uploaded, I instantly have a better day

[@SolarMonolith206]

I sincerely appreciate this video. I'd written off this mod as a meme as well. My first reaction upon seeing was to think it was a simple re-flavoring of SD into "The Gas Man". Really, the credits list of a bunch of legendary SS modders should've tipped me off, but I didn't look too closely. What I've been looking for most in mods lately has been character interaction and *deep lore*. And after watching this review? I can say with some measure of certainty, that we are truly one step closer to VN sector.

[@mackinawsensei3541]

I have never heard of Starsector, much less anything with this channel. And yet this is probably one of the best video's in editing and writing that I've seen that has made me want to buy a game on sight. I love it all, thank you for the hour of entertainment.

[@leobracken2316]

I highly recommend the game, I... I don't think I can describe how amazing the modding scene is, or how exciting it can be to explore the farthest depths of the void, or... I have two things to say though. 1-Get the Nexerlin mod, [among other things] it lets factions go to war and conquer planets, build alliances and generally makes the sector so much more dynamic because you can influence all of this! 2-There exists a certain African warlo- **cough** KZbinr by the name of Ssethtzeentach. If you want a [dev approved*] 'free trial' of the game, have a look at his review of the game. Just make sure to buy the game if you like it, the devs deserve it for what they've built. * If I remember correctly. (Edit): Formatting attempt. (Edit2): oh hey, it worked.

[@Azure9577]

I recommend watching sseth's review on starsector, he convinced me to get the game

[@chief117s15]

I gotta say, you're easily becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs. Seeing your videos show up in my sub box gets me excited for more Starsector content. If the mods aren't on the mod index page, then I wouldn't even knew some mods existed or for this mod, I overlooked it because it didn't seem interesting and I'm glad this video proved me wrong. It's obvious you love making these videos. Your style of comedy is fun and refreshing and even though these videos can be over half an hour long, at no point does it feel tiring or get boring. Continue the great work Lion.

[@IroncladLion]

Thanks chief, that's very kind of you to say. I do have a lot of fun making these videos, although I really should work on making them shorter. There are a ton of videos I want to make, and trying to balance quality vs. quantity is always a difficult choice. Thanks for the support, every bit helps!

For anyone who's going after Yunifer, I offer a single, game saving hint (So important that I had to abandon a 10 hour save because I jumped the gun so hard that I only have myself to blame): Don't be pushy. If your only option left for recruiting her is through Kween, you already lost her.

look man its my 4th try now and I have no idea where I'm f*ing up, would you kindly tell me what to do ?? like fr please?

[@dragonsmash3r]

@@absolutelydisgusting582 Alright here, the explicit spoiler. You keep Yunifer as a contact, up your relationship to at least 25 or 50. You ask to hire her on the first time, but reconsider. Wait until a few days pass, you should be able to ask again, and the dialogue will be different, with her acting a bit more confident. If not, up the relationship from 25 up to 50 or from 50 up to 75. I upped it to 75 right off the bat so I wouldn't know. Once she sounds more confident, go for it, and when she asks why... Not sure about this, but honestly this is probably the final "do not be a jackass" check. Let it be her decision. Then bam, lvl 10 officer with busted stats but a horrible Timid disposition that you *can* mitigate to Cautious at the cost of losing elite skill status on every single skill she has. Honestly just let her do her thing, even if she's in the back all the time those guns do good work (or you can micromanage her into being more aggressive with direct attack commands).

Ironically, the funniest thing about this review, which speaks volumes about this mod, is that as extensive as it is, you *still* missed a character. Namely Karlos Pononzi, Chief Executive Officer of the Nachiketa Fuel Traders Incorporated, and Philip Andrada's hated nemesis (well, from Pononzi's point at least). You find him on Nachiketa, and though I haven't digged too much in the character interactions, one thing is certain: do NOT mention Andrada in his presence. Seriously.

Nice little mod review. Granted I probably won't be playing it any time soon. Even still great mod review and looking forward to yet more factions being looked over in time! Also wondering if you are going to go over just faction mod's or other mod's that add content like the Secret's of the Frontier as you mentioned in the video? If you are going to go over some of those content expansion mod's. Might I recommend doing an overview of Arma Armatura? It adds some rather interesting things while adding a bunch of content where applicable. I get how faction mod's tend to offer more to make a review video on, but content adding mod's like ArmaA and other similar mod's could be worth doing smaller review videos if you feel like it. In any case you keep making great review videos all the same!

[@IroncladLion]

I'd love to, in time of course. I was actually using Arma Armatura in this video. I have a pretty gigantic list of videos I'd like to make at this point, so I can't make any promises (Iron Shell being high on the list but for CERTAIN REASONS can't be done just yet). These huge in-depth videos take months to make, and I'd honestly love to do shorter videos so I can have more consistent releases. At some point I'll get to non-faction mods, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the comment!

@@IroncladLion Glad to hear you would like to do some smaller non-faction mods! And I do get how there can be quite the list of mod's to go through.
