Is a Shepard Fleet Good? - Starsector

  • The earliest and possibly the easiest early game carrier to attain. The Shepard, drone tender extraordinaire. Does a pretty decent job for that early game grind. But how would it stack up in late game? Against a real threat? And what if... What if we had a whole fleet of them? Dumb idea right? ... WRONG! well, maybe. I mean just watch the video.
    Enjoy!

    Shepherds and Mules are the backbones of my early game fleets where I start poor. God bless those little boats. A couple mods have some fun shepherd reworks and with better deserved S-mods, you can make a few that may still be tagging along with an end-game fleet just for the storage space and salvage rig.

      Ah! A man of culture and fine taste i see 😎. Early game is some of the most fun imo. Scrounging for whatever duct taped piece hunk of metal you can get your hands on.

      Using handful of mods consumes a bit of RAM, but once I changed the limit, any issues I had such as saving/loading/doing things were fixed.
      Also, some of the quality of life mods from the dev post in the forums are nice little bits that just improves the functionality of the game. Especially with the speed mod. (Can adjust "speed-up" time flying around AND have the function while in a fleet fight to make the "in-battle" time shorter or watching the AI go nuts on easy annoying fights at 20x the speed hahaha

Once you have been thru so much trauma you don't react the same anymore and a good portion of shock is mental like 25% at least in most cases but you start to develope other problems. I'm not saying I was a super bad ass but I could go thru some serious injury's and be pulled into the emergency room they run vitals and be floored my heart rate and blood pressure was perfectly normal not even a hint of shock. Once you been shot or had something cut off it changes you mentally in ways I can't almost describe. I see a therapist regularly, I refuse to take medications tho makes you feel like walking around with a head full of rocks. I really think more awareness needs to be cultivated in our society about people who have had traumatic injury, it's a journey that once ya start you can't stop. Hope you never get shot or stabbed or anything cut off either lol.
