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.

Nobody expects the double warcrime! Also i'd like to thank you for getting me to play this game. If it makes you feel any better about yourself, i'm really shit at it and doing as good as you would be an improvement for me. So good job I guess ? XD
i genuinely don't understand how someone can struggle so hard in the early game. its not that hard to just run around looking for reasonable bounties and quests and somehow rarr almost kills himself everywhere. and that's why it's hilarious
Hey rarr it's me again glad to see you are posting some of that sci-fi colony rpg game... Speaking of which reminds me of RimWorld and the missing Cassandra Classic Experience Video we so desperately want to see... Nonetheless love the content and have a good day.
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. I had to fill all my small slots with low tier missiles and PD weapons and I still flux out if I shoot it more than twice. That alpha damage though and I love the description.
I love this for 1 specific reason. Rare: "More brain power than me fly Big ship, crush little ship." I His next video: Playing as the abysmal horror in starsector. 😂
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.
Nice flamethrower tempest, I usually run EMP burst guns (vanilla guns) with expanded mags. Just disables everything. =P Eventually your frigate spam gets too big and they can't shoot through each other. So I get Omens for their EMP special that can pass through teammates safe.
Seeing you having such are good times with flamethrowers, makes me so happy for some reason. Thank you for video! And if someone know what mod they from, i would be appreciate this info, because i forgot:)
I have to ask, what kind of mods, if any, are you running in this one? I can't tell if some of the stuff I just have not seen yet, or if there is a good bit of modding for them xD
I love Atlases so it was heartbreaking to watch one get sold for 500creds. Did you know you can get them down to 30 sensor profile using s-modded insulated engines? You can actually use them for bulk smuggling like that 👍
to be honest... there are almost no ships worth selling compared to scuttle them for the supplies fuel and machinery you get from it instead which are way more cotly
I turned up the value of sold ships to... I dunno, it was like 50% of its value. There is so many ways to make money in Starsector, but the thing in highest demand, ships per the lore, sells for maybe 1 days worth of supplies? Or even more profit if you slag it? That makes no sense to me. We will sell ships for a million but we wont buy it for 5k. lol
That is the case purely because Alex thought that having the player feel obligated to tow every single wreck they found to be sold on the market would be unfun.

Finally a video. Love your short video.
Thanks
bro that bit @ 6:05 killed me xD

What mod adds firing stations on the strategic map? It is awesome.
Its Industrial Evolution i think

Ion torpedo. From ship and weapon pack. Those things are beasts, you can kill pretty much anything with it.
woah never used flamethrowers XD neat! great vid!
Thanks!
Shades for the win. I love all of the phase ships. Even the gremlin can come in clutch at times because the big ships get tied up on chasing them.

there are some modded bounty that gives (if you recover them) some pretty good ships that goes well with the wolfpack tactic
