- Today playing StarSector 0.95a we will find a lot of new stuff ... AGAIN. Today we are exploring starsectors new raiding system. And I found out bit late that raiding is kinda broken right now. Also I feel like colonies are bit weaker that they use to be. Hmm let me know how you feel about this :D
And let me know what do you think about this Starsector money exploit.

Something about Starsector (From official website)
Starsector (formerly “Starfarer”) is an in-development open-world single-player space-combat, roleplaying, exploration, and economic game. You take the role of a space captain seeking fortune and glory however you choose.
Get it here: fractalsoftworks.com/
And in my opinion Starsector is the BEST space game ever created.
Hope you enjoy and see you next time !

What i consider weird in this patch is that Sindria is constantly in a state of local deficit of fuel despite being the only planet with Synchro-core in the sector.
Also, pristine nanoforge is the easiest to find item in the game. Just bomb the Chicomoztoc.
To "interact" with a star, use emergency burn to the sun. You wont be pushed back by the corona and touching the sun will open the menu to install a stable location :)
Thank you! ... but that is a bit stupid :D :D
@@Uran92 I completely agree XD But it's what works lol
That doesn't make sense, but thanks for the info! Hopefully the developers change it so it can be accessed in the solar info page or something...
Good to know! I found very nice planet, but 0 stable locations. It will be nice to get one and make a colony.
Found that out recently, but I originally thought you'd be able to do that from the galaxy menu (where accessing the star doesn't, like, BURN).
If you're asking where you find those random new officers they're in the Intel tab.
Yeah I found them :D
Funny thing on colonies:
Accessability and rich resources. Hazard level REALLY doesn't matter for the 1st colony.
Settle some rock close to the core worlds with Volatiles, Transplutonics and Metals.
Profit.
Need to sort out the 1000 sun's when ships explodes (you can remove it or reduce is significantly to a small nova explosion) it's very easy to do
The update made the game much harder, due to all of my colonies refusing to grow without hazard pay, and lacking the income to cover even one heavy industry even into the late game. The delayed expedition time was a boon but I screwed up early on (got hostilities with the independents and tri tachyon, which isn’t as easy to fix with AI cores) so it took more time to progress. The domain technologies, the coronal hypershunts, and the slower colony progression (vs pre 0.95) really kept me interested.
welcome back is right, i'm just learning star sector has a new update!
Oh hello there
Case in point:
My first colony was a 200% Hazard rating Cryovulcanic World. +2 Volatiles, +2 Transplutonics, +1 Metallics.
Built Mining, then Refining, then Heavy Industries. (I had Industrial planning skilled). Initial accecability was 87% (no skills or bonuses).
Mining generated exports of +65k/month, Upkeep ran about 20k. Local Income was ~10k.
With refining it exported goods worth 120k. Upkeep 35k, local income 15k.
At size 5 I exported worth 180k, upkeep was about 50k, local income around 20k.
The idea that you settle a paradise world and get rich quickly doesn't work. Find something with lots of minable resources that is CLOSE to the core worlds. Settle it, profit.
0:40 Same exact thing happened to me. I got excited about having a new captain promoted from within the ranks, but I couldn't find her anywhere.
What they did with colony threats was lower the rate of them at lower levels. I have found it harder to find the raiding base though.
Yeah cannot wait to see how they work in the late game.
I've scoured 3/4ths of my most recent sector and have found nothing but corrupted nano forges so far. Not that you NEED a pristine one, but getting one has definitively become a tad harder now that there are more colony items in the pool to draw from.
All in all I feel its an improvement (as you no longer get to feel the disappointment of having found another corrupted forge when all your colonies that can mount one already have a nanoforge of some type installed), but I think we might need a rare NPC in the bar that can refurbish one pristine forge out of three corrupted ones for cash or something similar (maybe we could use our influence with the academy to get those eggheads to polish one up, eh?) to get reliable access to at least one if we explore enough.
I think it’s the random generation. On my first playthrough (before the update) I couldn’t find a pristine nanoforge until very, very late and had the same problem you had, but recently following the update I got one just shortly after my first corrupted nanoforge.
There is a raid cooldown. Though, it's only a single in game day.
This however appears to be just so you can't cheese patrolling ships and raid constantly. Only when undefended will repeated raids be risk free. Having an unrealistic amount of cooldown would just be odd. Like 1 days just to use whatever high tech healing they have, rest and rearm seems like all the time you'd need to recover in the far future. Though this game doesn't injury marines. Only kills or leaves them unharmed.
Ive always had a problem with bounties having ships that are sooo far in terms of power on mine... Like i only have a doom ship and 4 frigates mehn... Why are the bounties paragons and onslaughts...
I did not find them too hard ... but yup they spawn sometimes stupidly far away ... at least you can cancel first day
Didn't start yet waiting for the mods to be update to 0.95a :)
Might take some time :D
Now that the old seeds for good Duzhak spawns don't work anymore, making a decent home system is much less fun, mostly because whatever seeds I've tried, there are no worlds more habitable than the occasional desert and nothing below 175% hazard, and poor resources. Many of the new production mods are also too hyperspecific to be usable on any seed.
hmmm will do colony guide ... the old way does not work anymore but if you take some time for the "new" way it is rly fun
Anyone else having a weird issue where their fleets go straight through, slowly, through some hyperstorm storms while other I hit and I get flung as normal? I've played over a hundred hours and never experienced this since the first 0.95 update. Ps I have got the patches
I'm very late but if you hold s or go dark and ur fleet goes into a very low speed while going through hyperstorms, it won't damage you
@@tedrexhaxed8871 yep your right. I was more confused cause I was never holding s. Issue was my fleet was full of capitals and it was so slow it was travelling under the speed to hit hyperstorms so it looked like hyperstorms stopped working until I got my fleet speed back up.
seems you have to build the skill tree to fit the way you want to play
Its harder I got my planet maxed because I had a cryothingymathing in that system
Aaaah so mby I will find it and make one colony there .... what about attacks ? Still I have not been attacked
@@Uran92 NO Attack only my trade ships got destroyed at some times
@@magnusthered4946 damn that is a huge difference will have to explore it more and talk about it ... btw even after reaching BIG colony ? because last patch when you pasted a point you would get heavy attacks
@@Uran92 of the factions are real dicks now because they collectively go after YOU when you finally GO profitable we need a diplomatic system for opinion management because they’ll hate your guys in the end and your colony becomes even less profitable of low accessibility
@@magnusthered4946 Ah crap ... well I asked for more challenge .. mby at the end it is the right way .. we will have to see thanks!
@Uran93
Yea raiding the pirate stations seams super broken right now.
Once i had a pirate station spawn near core sector, i left it alive and just use it to resupply now. That is after i made a 60k supplies safe fund on YMA abandoned station that is. But i decided to not touch that unless game becomes breaking hard for some reason.
In the patch notes it says marines should be much harder to get now and that makes sense and would actually make it balanced.
Problem is marines seam to be super common still so this exploit is full proof.
For me it would make sense if the patch just fixes the marines.. make them rare like the notes say, problem solved. Yes you could still earn a lot by raiding but you would actually have to take care of your marines and avoid repetitive raids since loses go up fast.
Funny enough no matter how many upgrades and marines you get there is a cap on how much supplies you can get and it is around 1000 supplies for randomly spawned pirate stations. Only thing that changes are the marine losses and how many time in the row you can do it before it starts going down. 1000 is so much though its almost like there is no cap, not really. that's like 1 million credits per month or so by just clicking trough the pirate base interface 25-30 times.
yeah agree on that ... but damn I would not have idea what to do after I get my first planet. Not for this "exploit" I would have insane problems the first cycles in the mid-late game. It is the time around when your colony is not making anything you have to have big enough fleet to protect it and not enough cash
I think the problem with your excessive supply cost is due to the fact that you don't have logistics skills that deal with them. Fuel and supply costs get halved when you go mid logistics.
I don't know if you already saw this, so putting this up just in case.
I mean you are throwing 1000 marines to grab those supplies so that requires quite a bit of upkeep and capacity. Logically speaking there is no reason you wouldn't be able to raid every location of the station once for the stuff but might have to be limited to once per month or something like that.
And as far as resupplying goes I did not find it that hard. I pretty much always buy supplies at Chicomoztoc and fuel at Nachiketa at good prices unless emergency.
Might be true about the resupplying ... mby got just paranoid from all the comments that say there is less of it
i think the recent patch give you more spesific gameplay with more effective pros and con according to your skill build. i personally like more trade run(focusing on industry) with minimal hostiliy towards faction for safer trading. i personally feel its is more rewarding than last patch, however because i rarely fight, the exp is quite scarce. but i make 70 times more money than you make in the same time. if you focus in combat, you will gain more by raiding compared to trade? idk
regarding to the supply and demand. i notice that in this patch, you will get more goods in open market with high stability and vice versa same with black market. also they increase the amount needed for 1 demand and decrease the amount of thing availaible in the colony except the planet own product. basicly, if you need fuel you have to go to fuel production planet such as yesod or nachiketa, other than that you will find a measly amount of fuel with high price
Ah makes sense ... yeah it seems that trading/killing stuff and selling is the way to go ... my exploring playstyle is not working that much this update
@@Uran92 and if you not invest on industry at least until the supplies or fuel reduction, good luck on sustaining your fleet
Raid heavy weapons, when there's a deficit, it goes for like 500 a piece
Hmmm seems like a good idea will try it!
End game you need to resupply twice, black market and then normal market. If thats not enough you need to build fuel colonies on strategic places.
I always just left my bigger ships at home for general exploration and scavenging/surveying runs and brought my bigger combat units only for specific fights once I found them (which would mostly be mini boss fights or high danger remnant systems).
That way you don't need resupply for the exploration as you'll bring mostly efficiency overhauled ships and freighters and won't need resupply for the combat because you'll go direct line and don't have to factor in 20 instances of burning fuel for entering/leaving hyperspace and 20 to 30 days of burned supplies for exploring empty systems before the fight.
Gotta admit though, it takes a bit of the fun out of the game when you have to run from some of the bigger distress calls/scavenger fleet because your Paragon and two Legion battle carriers are collecting dust in your colony hangar.
On the flipside you don't burn several hundred k in supplies each run for capital ships you probably won't need.
@@AndragonLea And a lot of hull mod optimizations. I find this feature interesting, it maintains the dark age aspect of the setting. But you can explore and win most of the sector with the right ships. Legions 14 are nice but they chug to much fuel, if you use a balanced fleet you won't worry too much. You need the right config for most of the encounters. This happens through all the game. I make the effort to go dark on asteroid belts and smuggle my way back to 2M, and use only AIs to bank reputation. You can go nice and easy with a fleet that requires only 3200 fuel. People want to overkill and thats not the strategy, at least I couldn't without a lot of infrastructure.
@@KorhalKk Silence, wretch. You will watch me destroy those 3 pirate frigates with double legions and you'll like it!
*distant sound of supplies getting snapped out of existence*
@@AndragonLea I'll love to rescue you when your emergency beacon is activated
@@KorhalKk Actually happened to me for the first time yesterday. Watching items disappear to damage wasn't great. >_
I know this is late for your game but there is another exploit I found which makes your character a god with just the vanilla. I believe it's too late for you unless you can reset the skills but with it you can have all 40 skills and elite unlocks available by level 6.
Its better to download the mod which let you lvl to 40
@@rottenpoet6675 true, that would be easier/not cheating but the fact that you can do it without modifying the code or mods and just clicking in the level up skill page means there is a hole that needs patching.
@@tomtcom how?
@@Asphyx12 save up a decent amount of skill points (by level 6 I haven't used any up to that point) select one for each tier on a particular skill path, then select the other skills that were on that same skill path (so all 10 of say industry or technology is selected) then deselect one of the skills on the second tier (haven't verified if the first tier works as well). If you do this you'll actually end up with slightly more skill points than you originally allocated. Rinse and repeat until you can select every skill and then just spend a story point to elite each skill as well
@@tomtcom i just raised mine to 20 level cap
So, since you need a bit of cash. Remember the academy in galatia system ? The ones who diddled the jump-points ? The ones who paid you 15k credits/month early game ? There might be more where that came from. And other stuff. And lots of rep with the Independents.
Just sayin'.
Hmm have to look there
What’s that conquest loadout? 🐐 🐖 🐄 🚜
:D :D it is not even finished it just what I have found .... in a best case .. 1 hurricane 1 locust ... 4 mjolnir cannos ... rest hypervelocity drivers ... small weapons cheapest thing you can get. OFC integrated targeting extended missiles
🐄🐷
2 Mjolnir cannons on one side, no other offensive weapons unless you don't have Mjolnir
Flak, Dual Flak and 1 or 2 Devastators into the rest (Point defense, Anti-fighter)
In case you can fully equip it with dual flaks and devastator, leave 4 small energy mounts empty.
Hurricane MIRV missiles, Squall MLRS or Locust are also good if you have no MIRV.
Harpoon or Salamander medium missiles, you can also leave them empty.
Dedicated targeting core hull mod, solar shielding if you explore or fight with high tech, efficiency overhaul at first, before you get to deploy it regularly.
Min 1500 Max 1800 flux dissipation, rest into capacity.
Always deploy the smallest and least amount of ships into battle with what you can survive and dominate your opponent, you can always send reinforcements(unless you fight uphill).
Use frigates for defense, equipped with no offensive weapons, just point defense, defensive hull mods, missiles, focused on minimum needed flux dissipation and maxed flux capacity, that means survivability and utility; Lasher, Centurion, Wolf, Omen, Monitor, Brawler, Scarab and some others are really good for that, assign them to your other ships with what you break your enemy apart.
Fleet composition, tactics and competence in general will do wonders in this game...
Don't just go crazy equipping ships with the 'best', less is frequently more.
I just started a playthrough with Overdriven glass cannon hammerhead then sunder then fury constantly defended with 1-3 immortal frigates and I demolished everything in my way so far, got to endgame a lot faster and easier with the new version of the game.
It seems the gameplay got more competence dependent, don't listen to others, not even me, this is just a fraction of all that I used, don't just follow this it's not a complete guide, use your intelligence, explore.
Have fun!
Yes, it is harder, but only if you playing it as you did in 9.1
Yeah I was kinda struggling ... but now as I know the power of raiding it will get much easier ... also will have to figure out colonies ... after that we are back on the seat :D
@@Uran92 i dont have any colonies yet, so, i have no opinion. But pristine forges are extremely rare now. I guess, it is easier to steal one from faction, than find one.
Without raiding you literally will work for food. Yesterday i traveled 9 LY in the core and lost 230 supplies because of storms. How about that? I hope, Alex will change some numbers. Repairs cost A LOT now. And the only way to get more supplies after fight is to solo entire fleet (i m glad my Odyssey can do that)
@@DenisLyamets I was in a lot of pain playing the game like I used to (exploring the sector) ... I was thinking naaah I just have not played the game for a while so I am rusty. But I feel that after you get just few ships exploring sector is not sustainable. Killing is the way to go .. some of the things have to be prob changed because exploring I have noticed is sooo much less profitable .. .too many domain probes with no loot. Mby less fuel consumption ... and planets are slow money makers now.. at least I think.... but you dont get attacked at the start so that is a +. We will see where we will end up.
@@Uran92 Just got 345k bounty (pretty big one). Lost one Champion. -950 supplies. And it is crew understrength now (2000/2500), so, i will lose even more when i get more crew. It means: like 250k is lost for recovery and travel. And they suggest us to use more frigates and destroyers (which will die even often). This is not OK.
@@DenisLyamets yeah and as someone said the AI seems better ... mby I am high but I feel so too. We have to overcome and hope that the travel costs will get lover... hmm but mby Alex wants it to be that challenging ... and honestly ones I get use to it and forget the old profitable times mby we will embrace the challenge.
i am new-ish to the game, so i dont know the "old version"... BUT i find this extremely hard, cant seem to get ahead with out the pirates comin at me like crazy!!! Oh, not to mention all the factions sending fleets at me, including allied factions... WTF?!
Locust spam is new meta
Love the patch. Lots of new content.
But as you've pointed out the game has become harder and more grindy in general.
My main gripe is with the missions and how unrewarding they are. Whether it be extract missions or covert missions, new missions are often ridiculously hard or time consuming compared to the reward. Even the old missions gave me less credit compared to the work I did. Unless I'm chaining several missions together, be very selective, and be lucky, I can't come out on top. Most missions aren't even worth doing, and much of the time, I break even, not making much progress in making money.
There are two ways I have found that guarentees wealth. Raiding and old school trade missions/runs.
So instead of bounty hunting or exploring new mission content, I am pigeon holed into raiding and grinding trade because new mission rewards suck so much in comparison.
Why do a 30,000 credit extraction mission that requires 600 marines when I could just easily do raid a remote pirate base of my choosing with less marines and make 10 times the money?
Why do a covert mission and pray there aren't amy patrols around when I could just walk in with my transponder on and make piles of credits selling on the black market?
Supplier mission is boring and tedious af.
I like the new content, and I was really looking forward to experiencing it. But sadly, I was stuck doing the same grind as the last playthrough. This time, it is more forced and grindy.
I think these missions should be more viable and rewarding. I think a player should be able to choose whether he wants to be a bounty hunter, a rogue instead of game insisting I should trade and raid.
But I'm optimistic because these are minor issues that can be fixed no problem. The game itself, and the content that came with this patch is fantastic. And we all know the developer is someone we can trust. There's always mods if everything else fails.
Yeah agree with all these points ... will how to explore more missions to know for sure if they are all bad
The issues that you talk about won't be fixed. Because they don't exist.
Your negative observations and conclusions are inaccurate at best.
I won't go in much detail unless you ask, but to summarize:
In case you shove food in your ears, you won't get fed, that doesn't mean there is a problem with the food and it needs fixing. This perfectly reflects all your issues, doing wrong things at the wrong time the wrong way at the wrong place and so on.
Missions got immense variety, but not just simply variety, variety in different multiple dimensions, it affects their quality, there are good ones and bad ones, you should obviously choose, there is so much in one world 10 players with 10 fleets could be living off of worthwhile missions.
I've had at least 15-20 playthroughs with the previous version of the game and I haven't done nearly so well in any of them, the game became faster, easier, more fun, more ways to get to endgame faster, I haven't noticed a single setback.
You might want to start doing some well targeted exploring, observing and thinking about your gameplay, like take out a ball point pen and calculate things, set up your fleet for specific activities and so on. 9 out of 10 times I go out exploring and I max out on storage and fuel capacity before I'm forced to return home, before I did some calculating and thinking it was the other way around.
Stop.Blaming.The.Game.
@@9kArdos3 y u so mean? ;-;
@@one_victory6145 Every 'mistake' implies a better alternative, without a better alternative there is no 'mistake'.
I can see and point out mistakes without a single ill intent or feeling, that, pointing out better alternative, is the opposite of mean by my experience and understanding.
Don't believe me, try it, just improve your gameplay and your experience will change not only for the better but to the point where it is clear that the new version has no setbacks whatsoever, it's a definite all round improvement.
Cheers ;)
raid are ridiculously profitable, the dev should nerf it because you can gain commodity with nearly zero consequences.
yes the supply and fuel are kinda rare in this update but it doesn't mean you cannot sustains big fleet, what you should do is go to system with the most available supply and buying them from there, it also allowing me to sustain fleet with 4 capital and 8 cruisers without overlying on colony.
my biggest complain about this current update is just how un Fair it was ai with 15 officer level 6 compared to player with only 8 officer lv 5
Yeah I feel you ... I also feel that the exploring is soo much less profitable ... to many domain probes with crap loot. Killing is the way to go now.
Honestly I just take supplies from my colonies not and early mid game I focus on keep cost low and explore as much as I can
I finde it a lot harder like i never had plus 1mio in this batch also i have the feelin the AI is better
Exactly ... I do get rekt far more often ....thank god there is the story point escape
If anything, the enemy AI is better but ally/friendly AI is much worse, I'm seeing my own ships are covering each other much less than before while AI's cover each other much better than in .91
The numbers are low ... Soldiers.. mostly..I miss the old numbers.
To have huge fleet built in Augmented Drive Field and increase your max burn there..also militarized subsystems on civilian hulls on big freighters and tankers.
The soldier numbers are too low..I used to carry 10.000 soldiers...now I cannot and that is pissing me off a little bit because I cannot gather em..
But...there is a way ... An evil way..
Yes...my friend .. time to updrade to high command and stockpile soldiers at storage....
You have a cheap fleet now ,very fast to kite enemies.. also soldiers.
Automated in-game income is not fashionable .. anymore..
Trading soldiers as they are low in numbers everywhere..and heavy armaments is the way to go.
Making stable income can be done using the special base items...with low grade colonies.can you keep em to tier 3 forever? No problem ..that's what you want. The more bad the planet is ...the better for you...
So these military bases can be ...next to the core...or in the core..
Your first colony might be on a good planet as you need to get rid of the negative income fast and you might not have any special item..
Anyway... How to stockpile... look ... There are planets suffering in the system almost permanently ..make a million ..stockpile... repeat..
We need Nexerelin to play like normal human beings...that's the big truth we do lot of hocus Pocus to achieve same things we used to...actually the progress is a lot slower than before.
Yup it is something new and it makes the game fresh ... I have feeling that making it harder will be better in the end ... the shock is that now we are not use to it.... hmm will look for a planet near the main system and go for the marine/fuel base of operation :D
It's such a pain to see xiv legion got sold, if you can't sustain it,why didn't you store it on abandoned station on jangala for free???? Wut I don't even understand... Xiv legion don't have its own Blueprint,and cannot be build (except with mods) and only 3-4 of it in the sector
Iv been SCREAMING it got alot harder cuz the update for weeks now! I even hit Alexander on Twitter to tell him I did not like it. Cant ever get enough black market supplies!!!!!!! Game play is suffering! Big time!!! smh...
I have to agree ... but it is still not clear if it is good or bad for the game ... I hated how easy the game got in previous patches. Yeah the supply and fuel consumption got insane and exploring got less profitable. It is on Alex how he wants the game to feel and I prefer the Harder version ... the insane part is that it is rly different so we will have to get use to new ways of playing in sector
you can see the commodity tap on f1 and see how much and where the supply can be available in many quantity, my fleet eat 20 supply a day and can still make profit by selling supply and fuel to luddic path colony
How to make money fast and easy?
raid + sale = profit
I think it is bad taht they just have 1 way to make decent money.. Better to have many ways to make money and Colonies REALY need to go back to what they where!
Will have to still explore it ... I will install all the things that I can into industries and we will see what we can get out of it
Putting commerce down on a world run by an Alpha is highly profitable
Hmmm but prob Hegemony will still try to inspect so will try it late game
@@Uran92 i find the inspections are less frequent this patch and by late game my worlds are normally too well defended for them to make a difference.
So this video is irrelevant and useless? Thanks?
