    Math neard there. 9:40 it should be calculated with a harmonic mean. 1/(0.5 / 2 + 0.5 / 0.75) = 1.091. So it is better only by 9% rather then 38%

    What about guns with alternate firing modes? Example deckgun can alternate fire between the two barrels increasing its firing rate but also causing more crew stun.

    So am I the only one that uses Mining Lasers in combat to maximize profits? All the play throughs I've watched, players go out of their way to obliterate their enemies and resources. Especially early game when money is tight and enemies are easy. Then they typically struggle to get enough Enriched Uranium to upgrade their ship.

    For the sundiver. It is much better and easier to use mining lasers and resource tractor beams, while banning your crew to mine our pick up resources outside. That way you can mine the resources inside the sun's radius, reducing time spent, crew requirements, ship cost and the chance of critical failures during the operation.

      Yes, its Always a question of Budget, Space and ammo density for prolonged Fights. If you expect your fight to be over before your ammo Runs Out and you plan in restocking after every Fight, then you dont need any factorys.

      No. They are almost 2 years old. They arent exactly wrong but a few Numbers have been changed and ballistic+engine Guide are incomplete due to new additions. New ballistic Guide ist currently being worked on.

      @StarWarsExpert_ 3 місяці тому

      @@captaincaffeine Great to hear that you haven't quit the game nor youtube and are still working on a new guide. Are you also gonna touch on the new number changes for the ballistic weapons? Do you, for example, still need 3 ammo factories for 1 deck cannon and still the same amount of crew? If not, how would you approach making a deck cannon setup? What should you not do in a deck cannon design, considering the crew stunning?

    • @captaincaffeine
      @captaincaffeine 3 місяці тому

      The new Guide isnt Just the new addition of the chaingun. Its a complete overhaul of the original Guide With all ballistic weapons and expanded upon by talking about Penetration damage calculation for example. But since this will Still Take a good amount of time: The deckcannon remains unchanged as the ammo per second is still 8. So 2 Factories would only supply for 40 Seconds Till you get Problems. I also saw people recommend ammo storage for PvP. A 4x4 storage would provide you With 320 shells plus 100 already in the Cannon so you can fire for 53 Seconds but then you are completly dry. At the end of the day its preference but i as a pure Singleplayer enjoyer would Always Go for the 3 factory Setup as you dont need to worry much about ammo and also dont run dry in a 3vs1 for example.

      @@captaincaffeine Thx for the helpful response. In your guide, can you also talk about how much power you would need for a railgun strips if you use the walkways?

    • @captaincaffeine
      @captaincaffeine 2 місяці тому

      little excerpt from the script: "I hope you like walkways because your logistics will definitly need it. Our target wont be to get as much energy to the target like for shields. We dont need high quantities as a railgun accelerator and launcher only use .5 energy per shot or .125 per second. Quantity is not the problem. Traveltime will be. ... Option 2 is to place 2 energy sources at the ends of the railgun. ... The second option is still superiour however." To put that into perspective of a 8 Acc Railgun, that would be 1,125 energy per second...thats barely 2/3 of a small reactor. i would advise you to look into the ship library for the arquebus and longspear (Monolith Combat) for some inspiration. Putting energysources on both ends of your railgun (no matter if its a capacitor or reactor) which have more tasks than just supplying your railgun is the way to go.

    You can never flank enemy ships to cleanly neutralize them. Its absurd but enemy ships can turn to face you even without any engines. This is frustrated me to no end because strategy is useless when all you can do is front attack. I never got past the early game, getting bored because of this
