7:55 "You want my great haul? You can have it. Somewhere I have hidden the greatest treasure in the universe." - Jasper Hall. And thus the great age of the pirates started.
Ah the Crimson Fleet, the main target of my privateering. I've captured a Phantom off them and have modified it to be quite a deadly and quick combat craft. Its in a green and black color scheme now and has taken down some long odds so far. Three Ecliptic Merc ships ambushing it, A different fight against three other phantoms. And the downing of a few Haunts with their escorts. Edit: Recently used it to capture a Class C Wraith,so I got a large gunboat now that deletes what ever is downrange. Crimson Fleet has a few nice vessels,but they tend to have inefficient weapon set ups on their stock ships. Nothing a good amount of credits can't fix at the parts dealer.
@@ZechsMerquise195 UC, I tend to be a law abiding citizen in real life so I tend to play games as if I was in those situations. So “it being the right thing to do.” is reason enough. Also I went through the whole thing without killing anyone, which is way harder than I’d have liked
@@ZechsMerquise195 I’m probably going to do the same, I typically play through the first time as if it was me. Then after that I pick a lot of choices I didn’t
Gotta say, choosing factions feels more worthwhile in this game than in others. Even the pirates got a nice story to tell! Definitly a faction worth trying out.
To me it makes no sense that the UC would be so weak compared with the freestar collective and crimson fleet. They're all on essentially equal footing. Bethesda should have made one change to the lore to fix that loophole. They should have had only a few thousand people escape earth instead of several billion. That would explain why humanity has only explored/colonized a few dozen star systems in the hundred of years since they invented grav drives. That would also give an excuse for there to be so much lawless space for pirates to operate in. The UC just wouldn't have had enough human beings to defend every frontier. If you have billions upon billions of people though there should essentially be no piracy in the core systems.
UC is clearly militarily stronger than freestar as they have access to battleships while freestar has a fleet of civilian and militia ships several billion did not infact left earth 99% of them infact died they had 50 years to evacuate people but they did infact not possesed the resources to evacuate billions after 150 years after they left earth majority of people lived in poverty across a few planets akila city is filled enitrely with poor people Neon is filled entirely with poor people look at new atlantis the only people living there were the rich and those who served and those who were poor lived in the well and the rest who couldnt afford lived nomadic lives on other worlds clearly they never had the resources to sustain people living in new atlantis thats why you needed to serve to prove you are important enough be given access to resources even with the vanguard you need 10 years of service to even be able to live on new atlantis and the one who performed above the 99th percentile of the vanguard test still needed 3 years I do agree with you on the so much lawless space for pirates to operate but there isnt any billions of people and UC and Freestar couldnt smash piracy because they were still recovering from a war so great that 30,000 people died and most of their technology and weapons had to be banned and dismantled under the armistice its also known that the UC and FC lost a significant amount of population after the bombing of vesta and londinion UC killed all the inhabitants of vesta and killed their entire population on londinion due to the outbreak as the couldnt have risked getting terrormorphs offworld
honestly I'm of the mind that chaos of the exodus killed billions. you try moving, feeding and housing likely 10 billion people over the course of two generations from a dying planet. you're gonna have lots of casualties from starvation, disease, infighting and accidents. combine that with Terrormorph attacks on smaller colonies throughout the settled systems, the death tolls of the Serpent's Crusade, the Narion War and the Colony War, I wouldn't be surprised if the total human population is LOWER than the Pre-exodus population.
I would also point out that even if they had more ships it doesn't matter. The Crimson Fleet I'm game goes after lone ships or maybe small groups. They rarely ever fight if attacked unless they outnumber the enemy or have no choice. There like race built Frigates of earth. Run in,hit there target and then keep running. The only place they really put up a fight is the key where they can mass dozens and dozens of large merchant ships converted to warships.
@@zick893 There's also the fact that, apparently, FTL communication hasn't quite kept pace with FTL travel, so coordination across the SS is _extremely_ difficult. Combine all this with organizations like the Trade Authority who don't exactly discourage the practice and you have a burgeoning environment for lawlessness that is simply too big to be stamped out.
The lore reason is that Terrormorphs wiped out Londinion, FC won the Colony War (though on paper, technically a stalemate) and as part of their armistice, they reduced the size of their military. People also value their lives, and don’t want to be thrown in a meat grinder or die a horrible death in space. It’s not the 40k Imperium. Also, the Crimson Fleet is larger and more well-armed than people give them credit for. Part of the SysDef questline shows that they need more intel and preparation before launching an attack. If you actually play the game you can cripple the Crimson Fleet and easily have these “lore loopholes” you describe be explained lol.
I got the random side quest for being arrested that has me going undercover with the Crimson Fleet, now I'm at the point where I have to choose between the government and the Pirates and I kind of want to choose the Pirates.
They never expect me to be on their ship immediately after they land behind me. The last thing they see is the classic lightbringer. If only you could blow up the ship too.

Any chances you could make a video or series of videos on worldbuilding an army centered around Mechas à la Gundam? Or looking into the armies and politics of the Gundam series?
I'm wary of organizations that promise prosperity, but even more wary of those that promise freedom. Pretty sure if they did take over, that ideal would drop for most people really fast.
When you mention illegally modified ships it would be cool if we saw that in gameplay example where an engine has an extremely fast boost but there’s a chance for it to explode
Calling the Freestar rangers libertarians is like calling The Police a neighborhood watch club lol. The real libertarians, going by definition before it was co opted by anarcho-capitalists, are in the house of the enlightened.
Along with star-field I think there is another series that has some stuff you guys could dive into… maybe take a look at armored core? Lmk what you think 621, I’ll await your response.
So, if they have a starbase, a planet and also clearly the military force to hold that territory permanently, then aren't they a country instead of pirates? Their origin sounds more like Space Australia.
I do not understand, why the base of the Crimson Fleet was not destroyed by the UC Navy. Hopefully you can one day correct this failure...😈😉 And by the way - if the crimson Fleet would win - would it not also loose? Total Anarchy sounds nice in theory. Bit living in it... And after all pirates need huntig grounds and buyers for their stolen goods.
Say Templin Institute, after this Starfield series, why not do some videos on the upcoming Tempest Rising RTS game. It’s pretty popular among fans of the Command & Conquer series.
im really hoping someone contuies the storyline of the Crimson fleet it sucks that you get them to be the hight of the power one the quest line ends like we can go to war now we can start expanding but no radiant missions you always had
If you deliver Kryx's Legacy to SysDef the following battle results in Delgado and most of the Fleet's top captains except Naeva either dead or captured (if they werent already arrested earlier because of evidence you brought in), the Key back under UC control and whatever is left of the Fleet is scattered remnants without a unifying structure or more crucially access to their money laundering through Shinya Voss. That's pretty close to destroyed, every pirate left out there is just cleanup. EDIT: Of course to even have the option of delivering to SysDef you have to stay in their good graces throughout the whole questline, they will tolerate exactly one mission getting messy but will disown you after a second, at which point you have no choice but to fully side with the Fleet to complete the quest line. EDIT 2: And although Naeva gets away its hinted that it is unlikely she or anyone else will be able to rebuild the Crimson Fleet to its former glory because even before the Battle of the Key the Fleet was already coming apart and the promise of Kryx's Legacy was the last thing barely keeping what was left together, and you not only found it but handed it over to SysDef not just removing the mysticism but outright tainting it.
I've come to accept that Starfield is more science fantasy instead of science fiction. Pretty disappointing tbh, as I was hoping for a more grounded science fiction experience. Still a fun game
The way I figure it, the only time science fantasy is a separate category from science fiction is when there's a penal colony of mages conjuring antimatter to fuel military starships for the mage king of Mars. Otherwise, it's still science fiction, just not hard sci-fi. It's not Elder Scrolls 40k, after all, and it easily could have been. Like, they get the science wrong plenty of times (Earth as depicted simply doesn't make sense), but there are attempts to explain things in scientific terms. The plots are about labor rights, authority vs anarchy, without any clear right or wrong (in most cases). There's no dark lord facing off against the united army of men and elf, just a universe full of people who need a favor from a man with a starship and a good crew. That's science fiction.
@gnaskar i guess im more of a science fiction purist. Can't get into too many things without spoilers but literal wild west cowboys and magic artifacts are more fantasy than fiction to me. It's a grey line between soft scifi and fantasy, but I'd put it just on the fantasy side.

When Luffy decides he’s had enough of trying to search for the one piece and takes his pirating up into space instead.
Their base is also for sale, if you’re up for it.

Very much loving Starfield, Also watching Expanse and Starship Troopers. I'm in full space mode.

UC is clearly militarily stronger than freestar as they have access to battleships while freestar has a fleet of civilian and militia ships
several billion did not infact left earth 99% of them infact died
they had 50 years to evacuate people but they did infact not possesed the resources to evacuate billions
after 150 years after they left earth majority of people lived in poverty across a few planets
akila city is filled enitrely with poor people
Neon is filled entirely with poor people
look at new atlantis the only people living there were the rich and those who served and those who were poor lived in the well and the rest who couldnt afford lived nomadic lives on other worlds
clearly they never had the resources to sustain people living in new atlantis thats why you needed to serve to prove you are important enough be given access to resources
even with the vanguard you need 10 years of service to even be able to live on new atlantis and the one who performed above the 99th percentile of the vanguard test still needed 3 years
I do agree with you on the so much lawless space for pirates to operate but there isnt any billions of people and UC and Freestar couldnt smash piracy because they were still recovering from a war so great that 30,000 people died and most of their technology and weapons had to be banned and dismantled under the armistice
its also known that the UC and FC lost a significant amount of population after the bombing of vesta and londinion
UC killed all the inhabitants of vesta and killed their entire population on londinion due to the outbreak as the couldnt have risked getting terrormorphs offworld
