Active salvaging should only be done if you get a cargo ship and at least one ship with the salvage gantry hull mod, which gives a 45% bonus to salvage, which means the salvage should have a lot more goodies.
I completely unironically like the colousus build.Its a freighter that does a surprisingly good job in combat as a support ship keeping pressure on the enemy with tons of lasers.Slap some bombers on it and give it a couple of shepherds as an escort it does pretty well.I've been using a pair of them and 4 Shepherds as the center of my fleet and its worked pretty dang well.Had to recover them a few times but overall decent build.
funny enough i randomly went off into a corner into the galaxy and found the one Terran world in the game off in nowheresville; and made it into a semi-fortress that by the time any corp/military thought that i was doing too well, they would take so long getting to me that my defenses and myself would be prepared almost everytime.
In my current game I've only found a single terran planet. I wanted to colonize that, but then I found an Arid world, out in the boonies, which has literally every harvestable resource in the game (Habitable,Hot,Inimical Biosphere,Common Organics,Trace Volatiles,Moderate Ore and Rare ore deposits, Poor Farmland) So I've got the colony placed there. Then on an empty rock I've got heavy industry, refinery and fuel production. Then on a Desert World I've got military, all 3 same system. I've still got the Terran planet colonized as my 4th colony, but essentially even if the entire core world went poof, all hyperspace defunct, the system would still stay alive, as it has literally everything produced in-house.
so about that suggestion for the junker fleet playthrough that you responded to last video, I think I’ll take back that idea, because derelict operations got nerfed into the ground after people had too much fun with it now it’s just a maintenance and deployment point reduction, which doesn’t really compensate for the worse combat and logistics stats given by d-mods unless you just find a mod that undoes the nerf, and use that. an alternate playthrough idea could be strict salvage only - solo frigate start with $20000 and no starting officers, no weapons (includes fighter LPCs) obtained except from combat salvage/exploration, and you can only get ships from post-battle recovery hullmods and commodities are okay
Run derelict operations with automated ships. I did it in one run where at first I ran it with bulwarks and ramparts out of derelict fleets. By the end of my run, I ran an Alpha AI core Radiant as the capital for a 2Aurora-2Eagle-2Mora-Centurion fleet and it was able to hold onto 65% combat readiness. That fleet ripped doritos to shreds.
With rugged construction and the skill you can take D-mods easier. Tbh why most low tech ships don't have this hullmod is beyond me! Also, I really like "Quality captains" mod, it reworks skill tree, e.g. by giving DO 50% reduction of D-mod effects like it used to back in the day, which coupled with rugged construction makes them look like a joke.
@@NightMind0 Back in the day it made D-mods give only 50% of their effects, making them more tolerable (D-mods themselves were weaker too). Then the Great Skill Rework came and this skill became absolutely bananas. Search "SO Dominator But with Derelict Contingent skill". Obviously it called for a nerf, and Alex nerfed the skill into the ground AND removed D-mods effect reduction for some reason. If you want to feel how it was back in the day, I recommend "Quality captains" mod
@@NightMind0 Back in the day it used to half D-mods effects, making them more tolerable (D-mods were not as punishing too). Then, the Great Skill Rework came around and this skill was bananas. Search "SO Dominator But with Derelict Contingent skill". Then it was nerfed into the ground, losing "-50% D-mods effects" along the way, making it kinda pointless.
At this stage, you might consider salvaging any crashed vangaurds you find. They cost very little to repair and recover, and you can load a lot of missles on them. Right now you're little fleet seems stretched thin.
Queation: Why didn't you take those supplies that overloads your cargo? That'd use more supplies for a moment, yes, but those supplies would be "free" anyways (as the other option is to leave them) and when they're spent and you're back on normal maintenance you'd have saved several days worth of supplies (as you're still at full, instead of full minus the maintenance from those days).
If cargo goes over, you're slower and it costs more supplies?? IDK...

@@ryanorionwotanson4568 yes, but if the option is to leave supplies and never claim them in the future then the point when you start consuming your "max cargo supplies" is later. Ie saving money.

Y'think the devs would add a "Take All" button for the salvage results or something, right? 👀 While they're at it, a quicksave button might be handy...Maybe bind it to....oooo, I dunno...F5? 👀
I tried this game when sseth made a video but i'm a smooth brain so i didn't understand any of the systems so ended up flying around sucking at combat for like 30 hours. I'm going to learn how this game works now i wanna enjoy it to the fullest ffs.
Clearly you haven't seen all the potential cryopod events, that or you forgot there is more than just the one that gives crew. Singular pod's (that meaning it says there is specifically ONE pod occupied) Mean you either get an Officer or an Administrator. The one that says the pods are military grade give you Marines, and the ones that are normal can either give you crew or organs depending on how it happens to be. In any case you should keep that in mind going forward that cryopods when salvaging does not always mean crew.
I think the game gave me a ton of officers, way more than it should At level 9 and two colonies and maybe like 30% sector exploration i already have 18 officers + 1 colony admin. Of which i got 1 from the kite-beginning and hired another one so thats game giving me over 15 officers up til now half of which i can't do anything with?
I'm a somewhat newer player, so is there a reason you didn't just retreat from that battle at the 25-ish minute mark? Would you have lost the freighter or something?
His shield only faces forward so he likely felt he wouldn't be able to escape without dying. Since he thought he would win the fight going in so by the time he had already lost the first ship he couldn't retreat safely.
Here's a good tip. STOP USING THE ELIMINATE ORDER! That order is the one with the skull in it's icon and should only be used if you think you can kill something with relative ease and focus it down fast enough to not have it be a problem. In other words. NOT ANYTIME SOON! Instead I suggest using the Engage Order, It's the one to the right of it and has a different keybind to it. That merely tells your ships to try and take it down but not without taking notice of everything else around you. Or maybe, and really listen to this, DON'T USE ANY ORDERS WHATSOEVER! It's only really important to use attack orders when you find something that you REALLY want dead. Really the normal A.I. is smart enough to handle itself in a fight without needing your input. The most I do is merely set two defense orders to form a battle line and have them hold it long enough to break the enemy and then let them go and crush them once they've been beaten down enough. I mean, not to be sounding like a complete asshole. But you REALLY need to take a moment and realize that you don't need to micromanage every little thing when it comes to target elimination and winning battles. Plus it's pointless to focus down this early on in the game. Save it for when you have a bigger fleet where you go up against things that make having prioritization of what enemy ship to deal with is important. Another thing. Shepard is good mostly for providing more in the form of point defense for your wolf. Your PD lasers can deal with enemy swarmer missiles and other light missiles like it easily. But against Salamanders or Reapers they have no chance beating it down fast enough. Also nice luck with the pristine 14th Legion. Hopefully you can remember, or even watch the prior recording of the stream to let you know where it is. I'm doubtful you'll actually do that though. But one can't help but wish it were possible.
Rarr creates the most silly builds but they still work somehow but if my damn eradicator doesn’t have 3 s mods and maulers and drivers it gets annihilated by your average hound
Some of your menuing in this video drives me insane. Why do you take all the blueprints from research stations and then close the looting menu only to immediately open the inventory and learn them. Why do you manually drag things over when you're going to take all anyway. Why do you fly to every planet in a system to see what kind they are instead of checking in the map.
as someone who got here from youtube recommendations: good god, that's an awfully toxic chat.
He deserves better ngl
@@TheSeako true
For real there is not a single person just being nice or even normal. It's kinda crazy
The fact that he doesn't salvage the debris field after salvaging the station hurts man
pain
you can lose crew that way, and it really sucks when you're at the exact crew requirements for your current vehicles...
