WolfPack Tactics only In Starsector!

@@iwanpermana505 You mean the artillery station that shot him on the Campaign layer with friendly fire? That's Industrial.Evolution. It adds stations to the map that have missile or railgun or mortar shell weapons, and you can take them over by building a colony on that planet and rebuilding the artillery station.

I just wanna say a quick thank you for being the guy who got me back into playing StarSector

[@verarc]

fr. i never really stuck with starsector, but after watching and downloading some of the mods rarr uses, it's quickly becoming my new go-to

[@nashiffuadkhan9817]

I agree with you

[@ohuckabee]

Since Wolfpack Tactics looks at ships with officers, and AI cores count as officers, you could field twelve Glimmers with Gamma Cores while only hitting the soft cap for Automated Ships. Tried this once, and while it has a questionable cost-to-payoff ratio, it *does* work in case you wanted your human officers in destroyers or somesuch. You could also have fifteen Lumens with Missile Specialization, Expanded Missile Racks, and four Reaper torpedoes each for 180 total torpedo shots carried by ships that can teleport around - the term "terrifying hell universe" came up when I was discussing it with people which, yeah, that's appropriate. Main issue I hit was cracking harder targets like stations. Someone suggested using the Mudskipper Mk.II for massed artillery, which is... crazy enough to work, actually. I was thinking of Astrals or other carriers, though. Also has the benefit of being able to field interceptors to stop things like what Rarr experienced in the last bit of the video, since frigates aren't so hot at dealing with ships smaller than them.

[@oVoidhawko]

AI goonswarm supporting a coked up hype-train is hella good at clearing out those hard to purge systems. Because who needs range when you have instant transmission, 2 x ion pulsars, and an assault cannon. Reckless AI handles it really well too.

Use buffalo mk2 with converted hangar bay for piranha bombers. Have as many d-mods in them as you can. 4 deployment cost (3 with d-mod perk)for a piranha bomber is peak efficiency.

you do efficiency? though efficiency overrides may help this build out

[@joheng01]

@@rory8182 reinforced bulkheads efficiency overhaul converted hangar i personally made use of their medium missile slot with a pilum because of range and some swarmer/salamander rockets to fill the ornance points. they are only good against slow enemies, so don't use them against remnants. in my current fleet they have a maintanence cost of 0.5 - 0.8, depending on d-mods. I plan on switching to ships to cheaper d-mods out since it didn't seem to get more then 5 d-mods. Defending them is somewhat micro intense for new players.

[@CyberVonCyberus]

Woah, that fight against the Excelsior was impressive, that single Shade really came in clutch since it didn't give any projectiles for the enemy to absorb. Also, on the subject of wolfpack tactics, you should try the Armaa Armatura mod which adds pilotable fighter sized mechs that can fly over other ships and repair and rearm at carriers. It's a novel way to play the game.

I just found project cashmere in my game, its amazing but the OP it needs makes it hard to fit a proper balanced ship, even a larger cruiser struggles to power that behemoth.

[@ThehandleSigmawasstolenfromme]

Wolfpack Tactics is literally what you did, and not what you described. One ship finds the enemy, as many allied vessels arrived to back you up, and if you had enough, you attacked as each ship saw fit, with extensive communication between each ship preventing any friendly fire or other similar issues. Generally, though, this tactic would only REALLY work with phase ships, as those could hide and decide if they should attack based on how many ships were available. What you did here was more a modified form of Swarm Tactics. Get a mass of ships, disable the enemy, and bludgeon them with numbers.

Those are not from Ironshell. They're from Ship/Weapon Pack. And honestly they're not that strong in my opinion, if you can't keep hitting the same spot continuously then armor is going to mitigate a lot of the damage.

That makes no sense to me. We will sell ships for a million but we wont buy it for 5k. lol
