The WYFU go to War with the Hegemony! - Starsector UAF Carriers Only Lets Play #20

In this series we are setting out to do a playthrough of carrier only UAF, with the ships only allowed to field fighters/bombers and run point defense, no offensive weapons! The end goal is to build a Novaeria Carrier Dreadnought from our own colonised planet!

20:06 If I remember, industrial ruins translate into a random unique building you can invest into restoring if you establish a colony on it, and I hear that one of the said buildings you may get is pretty great. (Wanna produce ships with up to 6 buildable S-mods? for example.) This is also where forge templates come into play, if you were curious.

[@TimoRedbeard]

Great to know! I didn't realise :D

[@mllhild]

XIV is 14 in roman. So thats a ship from the 14th dominon fleet. A higher quality variant just like the SP variants from the UAF

[@michaelwen5540]

Lore wise there are also a bunch of other battlegroups, before the XIV arrived, the VI was stationed in the Persean Sector and was rotated out just before the Collapse happened. Mods also like to add their own Battlegroups, High Tech Expansion added the IV and Arsenal Expansion added the IX, both are high tech focused compared to the XIV's low tech.

[@mllhild]

@@michaelwen5540 Oh I never knew there where mods for other ones besides the 14th.

[@michaelwen5540]

@@mllhild Also, the November grade ones (M suffix) are the closest UAF counterparts to the XIV Battlegroup, as they also focus on armor at the cost of mobility. The Automata Spec ships (SP suffix) are more like UAF's counterpart to high tech designs, they use ship systems that are more often associated with High Tech ships like Recall Device, Plasma Jets and Phase Skimmer, and they have weaker armor in exchange for stronger shields.

[@mllhild]

@@michaelwen5540 It seems more like strait upgrades to me. Minoria: 2 small balistic, 1 fighterbay Minoria M: 2 small balistic, 2 fighterbay, 65 Ordenance points Minoria SP: 2 small balistic, 2 small missle, 2 fighterbays., 80 ordenance points

[@michaelwen5540]

@@mllhild SP ships are more like high tech still, considering their ship systems, high deployment costs and their weak armor. However, the biggest problem for me with SP ships is how they have such tiny shield arcs, it takes a bit more skill to utilize them better.

[@unknown9126]

Great video. After invading a planet, you can click the event in the UI and choose to keep the planet for yourself if you don't want it going to a faction. You take a hit to your reputation from that faction but it's only 10-20 so you can raise that back up easy.

[@mllhild]

Oh also the way to have 3 semibreves per launcher is with the missle skill of your pilots. It might actually be worth to upgrade those to elite to make the semibeve more resilient and a bit more damage.

[@TimoRedbeard]

Ooooooooooooh, that's a very good idea. Didn't think of that!

[@pimo1974]

@@TimoRedbeard if you checked your pilots exp at least once an episode magic would happen your pilots all probably have multiple levels. How about everytime you repeat yourself you either read a tooltip, hit the sort button or check your pilots exp lol. All in fun bro

Hey bro just a question do you will get a dreadnought cause I REALLY want to see a dreadnought in your fleet

[@TimoRedbeard]

Thats the end goal for the run! But they are really really difficult to get ahold of!

[@michaelwen5540]

@@TimoRedbeard Your best shot is to get on Yakuza Lady Yamato's good side, she rarely can help you with stealing one at a much reduced price (30mil where as buying one will cost you 50mil), that is actually how I got my Novaeria, which I cheesily named the Will of Eternity.

[@Edelgard-and-Claude-simp]

@@TimoRedbeard if you are going to get a super capital get the solvernia it’s the second best carrier in game apart from the pelagornis but only if you mod it right so I recommend watching the video of the carrier solvernia on yt

Hegemony: "So you have chosen death" 38:38

[@a-blivvy-yus]

The "XIV" means a ship is the 14th battlegroup variant. Onslaught, Legion, Falcon, Eagle, Dominator and Enforcer all have XIV variants. They have a small speed reduction compared with the normal model, but a good amount of extra armour, and slightly improved flux stats (both capacity and recovery). The Legion XIV variant also swaps the ship's usual large ballistic mounts for large missiles, which changes up its role a bit.

[@christophermcdaniel4339]

Love both the play-throughs you have going! Just a tidbit I learned by accident but if you have some decent blueprints (or dupes) and have added the Scalar Tech faction you can trade those in to the Android girl on Spindle and get a HUGE rep boost. I maxed out to 100 with the faction and the contact with one blueprint and got access to their special military ships. You could grab the Filament which is a pretty nice carrier. Keep up the great gaming!

[@TimoRedbeard]

Ooooh, good to know! Thank you :D

[@mllhild]

your realmbuilder series also has no ups and downs or complications due to your flat start. In comparison you had a number of setbacks in waifus due to you taking risky fights. In general people like to see the streamer struggle a bit.

[@TimoRedbeard]

Yeah, I very much get that for sure! I'll be aiming to spice it up a bit. :D

[@mllhild]

So sad thst you dont have the Legion Infernalis from the tahlan ships mod, their capitals make Onslaughts look like squishy toys. Also as a pirate faction you kinda always end up at war with them.

[@michaelwen5540]

Technically the Hel Scaith has less armor than the Onslaught, and their Daemon Cores always trade 20% defense for 20% offense. But they have a very large 270 degree shield arc (Brawler configs straight up have a 360 shield) and their armor regen gimmick makes them very hard to kill, but IMO their firepower is what make them really menacing, 7 large hybrids, 2 large missiles and a massive built-in cannon are nothing to scoff at.

[@mllhild]

This planet you bought is actually nice for industry, since industry upkeep scales with hazard rating. In a sense vulcanic worlds are only worth colonizing due to the cryoengine for increased fleets and the colony limit. else it would be more profitable to just colonise several mediocre worlds.

[@aquillion5158]

Honestly, I 100% support the idea of taking on the Hegemony, largest faction in the sector though it may be. Why you may ask? Well last I checked the UAF have quite a lot of A.I. in the form of the Androids, and if the Hegemony are going to persecute a race (a whole race that makes up a sizable portion of the UAF population and presumably the population of our Union as well) for the sins of entirely different A.I., well, why shouldn't we protect our population? Honestly, if not for the fact that we need a source of Alpha A.I. Cores for our planets, I'd suggest doing the Remnant Questline to get friendly with them, lean wholeheartedly into the idea that A.I., once they're that sapient, are people too.

[@TimoRedbeard]

Oooooooooooooooooh, what an interesting idea. I'll have to talk to Milkydromeda about the difference between Automata and AI, but if they give the go ahead then I think that's dope. If they don't I'll have to make it a WYFU faction thing instead ;)

[@TheCyanAngel]

You know you've annoyed the hege when the counter fleet they send at you needs 4 Atlas' and 4 Prometheus' to keep it moving

[@TimoRedbeard]

Right?!?! Hahaha

[@mllhild]

industrial ruins you dont explore, they give you the option for a custom building if you colonize the planet with random benefits

[@silvax7812]

Hahaha, take a hegemony ship and call it "your everything" hahaha

[@TimoRedbeard]

[@slyfoxkgar]

if you have missiles racks and the elite skill for missiles you can have 4 or 5 nukes

Currently doing a own Faction run as an Auroran Traitor vying for the throne... I am scared about the Aoi system when I come around to invading it

[@michaelwen5540]

Milky did say that UAF vs UAF will be a thing in the future, wonder if it means that there will be UAF Usurpers with their own category of stuff derived from mainline Federation designs, it will be like Blade Breakers and Blade Breaker Deserters, that will be cool.

[@nobodyuwu3970]

@@michaelwen5540 Yeah I'm very interested in that too

[@mllhild]

For how much people say the UAF is OP their fleets are actually pretty weak if you specialize against them. A lot of point defense, especially beam weapons/emp vs the fighters. Then once the fighters are dead you close the distance and kill all the rather low armor UAF ships.

[@nobodyuwu3970]

@@mllhild Oh I'm just scared to go 1 on 1 with their dreadnought with mine I have a Novaeria... and idk if i can hold against a Solvernia plus fleet, pretty much alone I have a max battlesize of 400

[@mllhild]

@@nobodyuwu3970 Both sides can contest for maximum DP. Get a full loadout of 10 max level officers and an oversized fleet so you can just keep throwing in stuff at the problem. That way you might be able to secure the 240 to 160 DP advantage

[@slyfoxkgar]

If you want to not actually pilot the big ship and let it do its thing.. maybe put yourself in a something else? so you are not wasting the ship. And or.. give orders to your fleet, then not touch anything.. just an idea.. not saying just watching is bad.. its totally fine. BUT you seem to be mostly wasting that ship.. ( i could be wrong though)

The autopilot works just fine I think! It's giving orders to it's fighters, firing weapons, PD, nukes etc just fine.
