I noticed a bug where there's no galaxy after 4, could you fix that sometime today please?
preferably add a channel to discuss said galaxy
๐
Did yโall finish g4 in a single reinforce?
This is what I ended up using for BB2:
any fleet idea to beat the B23 boss ? its the only thing i have left.
I'm the same as you lmao
hi, how long it takes to finish this galaxy, its better to do in parts or in one run
based on the shape and layout you will go down branches as needed to complete things like bosses or reach nodes once they are complete you don't really need to go back down them unless you are trying to complete a scrap node
Any idea about the final battle? Or screenshot?

Cleared the last boss today so here's my runs. Started it at s108, but did most of it s110 to 112
Now just need to finish off artifacts
G4/z95-4
is there a screen shot for B23 on how to do it as i am unable to beat it even after like 20 different tries?
Dont forget you can overdeploy
there is the problem i did not even notice that that works thanks for telling me
B12 has a nice setup with 2.275 damage, not mine but it took a good bit of figuring out where the ships should be so I figured I'd mention it.
This is the correct config for the B12
Now I'm trying to figure out how in the world someone got this through on B17.
any advices on B23 ?
Am I missing something or are fighters just kind of bad at being anything other than a distraction? They're not actually able to counter snipers since they always aggro onto front line stuff, which also means they're not even able to soak sniper fire because front line stuff erases them.
Only thing they've been good for is giving those front line enemies something else to shoot at, and then usually only when I'd have to over deploy something else otherwise
fighters are really, really good at distraction
insanely good
that means the snipers don't delete your actual damage dealing ships
except on almost every battle with snipers my fighters just run forward and get deleted by the front line and never soak a single sniper shot. They've only ever been useful at that when there's very few/no other enemies.
then put your fighters elsewhere
fleet is about being smart with your layouts so that doesn't happen
fighters are great, like if they're behind there will be enough time for your first ships to maybe catch one round of attack and then fighters cause them to re-target
had an annoying time figuring this one out but cam up with this setup for about this much damage to the big ship so just over two runs to clear it.
B7 has an interesting interaction where going up in stats actually makes the fight not just harder but I'm having trouble finding the placement that lets you clear it (it could definitely exist, I just cant find it). Just thought it was interseting that 2.15 was an easy figure out and I've spent 10 minutes on 2.25 lol
sounds about right
not much goes on in here, but this setup is pretty okay (bb2)
Does anyone know the optimal setup for B6?
Did you ever find a good solution for this?
That specific one was before a certain patch iirc. It was impossible after it I'm pretty sure
This is the best I managed for B6
For B6 I use 2 corvette A1 and A2 nad get 20 / 12,5
hey, did you figure it out?
BB2 without the base
Focus this node right away as fast as possible? Or only leftovers and still prioritize S1/R1 over it by using FR for fights?
Seems like I have the answer myself. Both B5 and B6 are not doable currently even with overdeployment
S and R need fleet scrap, unlocking new ships/weapons/armor require fleet resources ๐
I know. But FR is for fights which result in more scrap. So I dumped the 65 above into the new ship as another battle node was not possible ๐
Has anyone found a good solution to B23. Its the only thing I have left in G4.
Nvm i didn't realize i could put more ships than i had
@pliant osprey you could share your setups here ๐
im working through G4, just finished BB1.
I grabbed the fighters at L1, but what are people grabbing for L2?
hey guys, is it possible to complete bb2 without base 6 unlocked? i have R1,2,3. S1,2,3, FP, FF, MR and level 8 GF
and i have been reading up in the chat but im a bit confused
i have beaten BB2, and i dont have Base 6

pretty sure i finished that in S110
highest ive gone is sector 106 but that dosnt impact fleet does it?
o yeah it does. increases your Fleet resources.
at the top of the fleet (View Galaxies)
*1.1 for every sector over 100.
if you look at the recommended Sector for G4 too.
it recommends S110, because you will have 258 fleet resources
pushing Sectors directly increases the FR, which allows you to have more battles, and push more ships on the field.
ahh ok now that makes more sense to me, thank you for taking the time to help me
is there anywhere with a reasonable optimized position and ship choice chart for finishing this base?
feel like I got no idea what makes sense and it's just a guessing game
it usually take a couple of runs to clear it.
but i like to use slower heavy hits. because the base will 1-shot anything that shots it. quick shots usually do less dmg, and die after the first hit. slower fireing does alot more dmg and dies after the first hit. so i just hit as hard as i can. bases dont heal between runs, so you can do some dmg, and then come back, and do it again next run.
this is what I was using on the last base for ~1k damage each try (can reduce the fleet with a 2nd corvette on L2, took the screenshot before taking it)
im wondering if i should go ahead and start grinding out galaxy 4 despite haven't having gotten past sector 107. Got base 6 unlocked recently/still gotta upgrade it to be actually usable. im sitting on almost 3 days of fuel becasue i have been trying to wait till i got to sector 110 like it recommends.
youve reinforced with G3 done? I doubt youll get to 110 in a day but no harm in sitting on fuel unless it caps
yea i dont know if fuel caps but yea i have reinforced with g3 done
anyone got a setup for B14? been running through setups and i can't seem to get a win let alone an optimal placement/setup. stats are 2.5 and i do have mini-rail guns unlocked but not sure how much that matters here
Is it wise to try and gun the Fighter upgrade before beating B6?
Also, which ship is good to get from the L1 node for the early game of this galaxy? I have only tried the Frigate since I'm below the min sector but don't want to waste fuel gen so I'm kinda forced to dabble haha
Oh disregard the ship choice question, it seems very obvious now that the Fighters are the only choice haha, didn't realize they'd be a choice and thought they'd just be a forever ship like the Frigate upgrade in G2 (I think)
B5, can't even beat it with a few different configs
I need help with B8, like I feel the fighters need to go to one of the snipers and the Corvette and Frigate tackle the Mediums, but I can only make the Fighters swarm the Mediums and then the Corv/Frig get sniped on their way. Fleet stats are 1.0 and advisor says 34/40 FR with 2 Fighters, 1 Corvette Charged Laser, and 1 Frigate Armored
fighters A1 B2
Oh thank you haha, that indeed worked and I even got to keep 7 FR which is dandy, I gotta figure out the logic of placements haha, just spent like 15 mins trying formations just out of chance
its just getting the fighters in right spot to tank the snipers for that one more or less
This is my B9 so far, the advisor says I can beat it with 56/60 FR spent but I once again am struggling, stats 1.3. I am seeming to have a knowledge gap in how positioning works so I kind of just guess a bunch, I am pretty sure I want to bunch up the frontline so that something can go for the snipers but I'm unsure how to do that
I got it, B9 advisor placement is just correct so it happens
what'd you end up doing for this one? first few runs I had 2 frigates which was much simpler
Let me check, cuz I have forgotten off the top but I can just launch the node
Oh, it isn't there since I took a fighter instead of a frigate, it definitely was at least 2 frigates but I could see me using the Corvette for the A5 slot since I have a score of 26/30, I'd put a Frigate at A1 and A2 or B1 with missiles though so they get the swarmers and then use the rest of their hp to fight the basic guys down there
yeah 2 frigates or 1 of each is easy, but trying to crack 2 corvettes/1 frigate like the advisor says. got it down to 1 ship with one layout, but didn't beat it
Hmm, I would reckon the Frigate would be A1 and then a corvette on A2/3 and one on A5 but I could also see both Corvettes being together in either upper or lower config
closest attempts were Frigate B1, Corvette A3 and the 2nd Corvette in places like B2 or B4 to divert damage
ended up just deploying a 2nd frigate instead, was just curious if you had actually found the right layout for that specific one
I see, yeah I haven't gotten far enough in G4 to need to consider using a second Corvette at an L node so I wouldn't know sadly
I'm surprised BB1 doesn't have any info in here, does anyone have a layout or tips? So far I can get 46.8dmg but that's pretty bad for 2k health haha. No advisor so I think I shouldn't bring fighters or something
This is the layout when picking Corvette at L2, 112.39 damage
For B12, the Advisor was so far off, wanting 5 Fighters and a Corvette team, but I was able to beat with with 3 Fighters and a Corvette or 4 Fighters. Even validating it just said it's correct, I guess this might happen if no one's beaten this with my specific fleet stat and/or ship choices yet?
B13, better than advisor, fleet stat is 1.3 and this formation got me 73 FR used of 90
When you validate that does it show exactly the same fr numbers or is it a bit different?
Exactly the same number as the Advisor was already claiming, it was green and all
ok ill check it
This is the positioning for B14 advisor in case it helps anyone
B15 advisor position, I used Railgun Fighters instead of normal fighters though, but got the goal FR
BB2 advisor is off I reckon, Advisor claims 164 but I got 285.46
B5 with 1.0 Fleet stats
i found the thing
alskjal
certainly a joy fishing for the right permutation
You probably just found a better way
advisor isn't perfect and relies on players to populate entries
Ah I see, good to know, I was def under the impression it's meant to be the best that anyone's done at your fleet stat and with FR consideration
which genius made this one
every config i've tried doesn't get to the snipers on time before half the fleet dies
i swear i just watched my run get adopted by the advisor in real time
this one specifically
oh this was just A1 B1 frigates and B2 corvettes, ig you kinda wipe our the nuisances and bum rush the snipers after
lmao, you made it into advisors
Heck yeah haha
Does this mean that when I do better than advisor that it automatically adds that to the mission's advisor?
yeppers
i assume so anyways
btw overdeploying just one more corvette more than doubles your damage for < 1.5x FR in that situation
not entirely sure why that avenue wasn't explored
but it is what it is
woah hey
someones already overwriting my G3 entries ๐
Yeah I assume a lot of advisors are getting rewritten with how many I've validated to the result of being too low, since the semi-revamp that occurred recently
fair enough
Yeah, like this B19 in G4 calimed 10FR, revalidated to 12FR, and I got 22FR with their advisor fleet haha
crazy
Yeah, I reckon it's also due to not many folks being at these lower galaxies anymore, so it's just a few fellers giving it a recomb

im sort of keeping a deep history on my G4 run
outside of the first one because i hadn't thought of it yet, lol
just thought it might be useful for future players
it does seem like majority of discussion is in G5+
G6 going crazy while G1-4 out here starving
Yeah haha, it's like how you can see the history of a rock by it's striations or smth
Yessir, G6 even has a community spreadsheet for optimal fleets at every node, same with G8 I believe
Yessir
fighters do jack all in damage but can tank so many hits for frigates and corvettes
kind of amazing how a one offset positional change can completely turn around a "we got atomized" battle to "we made it out like a bandit"
bb1 bonus here feels a little useless... is there a reason to beat this one?
also, 3-cycled this node with this arrangement
Yeah positioning is like rerolling pilots haha, I still have zero clue if there's any logic to it but I just keep trying things
Wait, I just remembered that types goes for type, so putting your medium in a corner nested by other units will make the enemy medium have to go through your fodder to reach your mediums (unless your mediums are sharing space with another unit, then they just get shot), so I see there's an element of aggro here
I am requesting aid from those who have it, B21 2.05 stats and advisor says 83/90
i've found that fighters only effectively tank/mesh with the rest when they're behind the other units, otherwise they rush too fast and get wiped before doing anything meaningful
Yeah, there's some hierarchy, like rn my mediums love targetting the enemy "corvettes" just because they get closer
do you have any tricks for doing scrap runs?
Scrap runs? I just use the AI upgrades for fleet and then do the repeat last run but make sure to tick the boxes to auto try for better scores. When I do a run I try to push on a branch, and then once I can't I use the remainder FR to go back and do the easier battle nodes for scrap so it doesn't interfere with the repeat logic, since it only lets you go in order
i see
Also I am experimenting with the aggro logic, it seems the enemy mediums will wholly ignore your corvette/friggates if your medium is in range, but Fighters draw aggro from mediums if they are closer. This is different logic than your mediums which care most about proximity but I haven't tested how they care about enemy Fighters
But if you are going for just salvage, then do the opposite of a push and just go down every path you come across if you intend on doing it many times or smth
So far for B21 this formation leaves one enemy medium one shot after the Corvettes widdle them down at the end
Huzzah! B21 formation with 2.05 stats, 77/90 FR
B22 formation / position FR 77/90 stat 2.05 , worse than advisor's 73/90
Wild, I only have 10 FR left but the R nodes do so much, so I feel close, but then I see the B23 fleet and now I am thinking that I might be in G4 long enough to actually use R5 (1200 scrap) haha
B12 1.6 stats
Insane how nobody has found a better setup / the advisor hasn't been updated to something better yet
yeah no just proud of this one in particular, lol
so many setups you just get obliterated and i found not just one that works, but one that turns the tables on them
nobody has pioneered past B12 with 1.6 stats ๐ญ
Good thing you did then haha, now the next feller might have a much easier time
B23, stats 2.65, 824.68 base damage 170 resources used. Better than advisor by like 300 so pretty worth
Wow, I was gonna have to leave B23 with like 23 health, but thankfully I had optimized some earlier battles and had just 10 more FR to do it and afford an S3 level, then I was able to destroy B23. Which is wild to me since I didn't even need to get a single level in R5 or R6, hip hip. Though I probs will for better Artifact farming now since I am far from the max haha
Oh wow, I didn't realize how much of a time saver it is to beat the last boss in a Galaxy, took like 1.5 hours off of the run cost
wow
congrats
B7
1.3 stats = 21.25 FR used
1.6 stats = 25 FR used
identical everything else
??????????????????????
i did a battle and watched as the advisor immediately updated to use my setup
for B13
B23 no base, FR 118/130 stat 2.8
Anyone have B11 setup?
stats?
1.9
this is your winner
its 60.51 not 50.51 because my corvette deployment limit is 1
not 2 if you would take one from a Light Ship Fabricator node
Okay thank you
Any ideas on B14 2.5 stats?
I did it before with 2 frigate, can't get this setup right
i would hop on but mildly busy rn
i would try shifting top corvettes back one and moving frigates down one
then, from the same config in the screenshot here, id that didnโt work, shift fighters to behind the frigates and row 3, and shift both corvettes back one
My god, so many artifact purchases and it's only G4, I bet G6 has like a scroll wheel of em haha
did it work?! @tawny breach
hey prophet, can you post your galaxy history?
How do I do that? I had an inkling that it was something to check since I didn't think folks were counting their runs manually haha

Yeah I was surprised to see that my B23 positions were adopted immediately by the time I went in for round 2 haha, it's interesting how all of these systems were calculated and/or automated as I get more and more content haha
For the life of me I cannot work this one out
Validation says it's real but best I can manage is high 36 with default corvette lasers
The targeting is just always scuffed and the snipers pick off everything but the slow corvettes by the time the rest are cleared out
this should be it for B9:
Thank you
I think I see, doubling up on the fighter swarm lets them push in
It really feels like most of the reason certain configurations don't work is because you just end up with like 6 ships all shooting at the same thing
Makes me wish for any kind of targeting controls
how did y'all get so much fuel? I think we started G4 roughly the same time, but you were able to do a lot more runs. did you have a bunch stored up from before?
this was mine for G4, think getting a few early S nodes made a big difference:

THIS worked ๐ญ
Can't you just move the frigate forward to do it for 25FR?
Nevermind I'm blind
Oh yeah def, my FR reserve is constantly at 3 days and then I run a fleet when I have like 2 hours of cap left or more if I'm gonna sleep soon. The main thing is that unique clears are huge for time save and then I ignored S nodes for a while since R nodes give more max FR in a run and that is incredibly important for scrap and unique clears
yeah my fuel reserve is rarely above a day, I usually use it pretty quick
I also prioritize R over S, but getting a few S nodes helps your FR go a lot further and get unique clears without having to overdeploy too much
it let me clear B23 in my 13th run, and I'm pretty happy with that
True, it's a balancing act for sure, also the wild gains in G4 are R5 and R6, I thought it was a terrible deal but then realized they increase FR by 1.1 instead of just 0.1 so it was actually cost effective
not just those, R2/R4 give twice the benefit of R1/R3, and same for S1/S2 vs S3, so it was important to spend scrap carefully
my R3 node was only at 6/10 by the time I got all the artifacts, wasn't worth the scrap compared to the alternatives
Ah I didn't notice that haha, I reckon it's gonna be like that in G5 too, I haven't run once in it yet
Also R1 gives the same amount as R3 but significantly cheaper
Do people actually understand fleet battle strategy? I'm feeling completely lost here
Most of the advisors I see at this point show me something that makes no sense and finding the actual placements feels like trial and error
People are just finding magic positions that make all your ships actually function and enemy ships do useless things while every other position just has them all shredding you to bits and I do not know what to look for to tell the difference
i have a mild inkling of roughly where to put things but that doesn't always give the advisor result
it sometimes gives better than advisor results but yeah, a lot of it feels like magic

Took me 18 runs to 100% artifacts, going to take a few more to 100% all the nodes (probably 2 more)
overall pretty okay with this
probably should have pushed farther rather than grab the Mini railgun mod for the fighters, or done a little more scrap farming early on
oops
working on this for G5 and realized I nuked the wrong sheet
currently restoring it, lol
has been restored and G5 has progress now :>
Anyone have B23 loadout?
les stats?
3.1
is this to clear the base or?
Yeah with base, I found a photo of an old one I think now
oh nice
i had a 3 clear here
each deployment costed 150 though
B23
found this clear doing 900 with 2.65 stats with 170, lol
B23
this setup does over half its hp for 170 FR
maaaaaan
could have saved some 110 FR my main clear run
sadge

@dull sentinel please pin g4 spreadsheet, same with new g5 in other channel
But we already have a g5 and 6 spreadsheet?
I still feel like we should rather improve those than dump em and create a new one entirely
you can check the pinned one in g5 for yourself
on top of being uneditable there is no indication of stats for most of the battles and seems to be on an old version
I noticed on bb1 it says the reward is that I can jump to any cleared sector. I fail to see how that is useful, am I missing something?
Ok that's what I thought, still does not sound that useful, I will just focus on pushing other things until I can do it really easily, I will probably clear bb2 first
you can leave it til later if you dont think the scrap farming ability will be worth it
It's rarely super useful, but it can come in handy at times
Most notably for Spacemas since it also adds a button to jump directly to the santalien
i havent touch g6, i just used it as template for earlier galaxies, G5 its like 3-4 screenshots, sure i will move it to new spreadsheet
so, old G5 spreadsheet biggest flaw is that there is no infou abot ships stats
I just thought of the best use for it. If you are back a few sectors farming the resources with your fighters, you can instantly move to a sector to farm new shards and not lower your average drop rate traveling there then log off.
I will go for it just after I get the extra fighter. Maybe a bit later.
Should I focus on getting fighters asap?
Also, advisor says and validates I can do B5 with 2 corvettes and a frigate, and with 3 FR saved. I can't even clear it. Any ideas on the layout? Nothing is the spreadsheet so I've been adding my existing clears so far
This worked - ty
Hey thanks for this, it was really helpful
I didn't follow things exact but just the fleet damage/health value and layouts were awesome
thats the intention :)
glad it helped, lol
it's hard to make perfect guides when sector progress is pushed really differently and so you have different FR every run, and it can skew progress a whole lot
thats most of the reason why craftyduck doesn't have guides for G3+, and his G1 and G2 guides are set at 100 base FR
Anyone have a starter B8 clear? Advisor says I can do it with only 1.3x and keep 6 FR - but I can't even clear
my only suggestion would be to try A2, A3 A4 positions and having the frigate be in any of the 3
im not sure how else you would knock the mediums fast enough to keep enough fire power to deal with the snipers
other than that maybe frigate A2 and fighters on both sides?
This gets me near complete, but still wiped
oh fleet is also funny in that vertical mirrors can sometimes give different results, not sure this applies here but theres always a chance
I've validated advisor and it says its correct but idk man - these snipers just wreck me
okay will try bottom side
I've tried all variations of stacking in A on the top
and a bit in B
will try bottom
B seems to put me too far back that I gain nothing and die even quicker
i'd try it myself but im running a g5 run right now, lol
tbh I don't even think walkthrough guides are that useful, IMO the ones on the wiki sucked and I'd honestly be just as happy with X be Battle # and Y be Fleet damage/health number, with the ship like you did, basically advisor++. by time you're doing G3/G4 you know how to run a galaxy and if you miss a single step it invalidates the rest of the walkthrough, nevermind removing all gameplay
Screw it I think I'm just gonna toss in the corvette and take the L
squall has started better spreadsheets for those in both channels, which is nice
the pin in this channel leads right to the G4 spreadsheet
and g5 i think is pinned directly
I've been dumping everything for G4 in the spreadsheet - there's nothing for starting out in it right now
I saw, frankly screenshots are too noisy I prefer the text
I've filled out everything that matches advisor as most efficient up to here, but stuck here
any comments on the notation?
doesn't really matter, as long as I can read it, it was fine
fair enough, good to hear
I'm only looking at it when I try 3 or 4 times without progress and can't find the advisor config, I don't know how others are using it
I swear there has to be a bug on advisor sometimes like it's considering a mod I don't have. It keeps telling me stuff like this (B12) is possible and I get demolished any way I do it without an extra ship
Did it on B8 too, anything with fighters I can't get close to meeting what advisor says #1335897573516644466 message
fighters A1 B1, frigates under them i believe
ig not, move a frigate from B2 to A3, maybe
i've noticed that with these you kinda want to bum rush one side and sweep up or sweep down
at some point you accumulate enough experience to kinda tell how some simpler battles should be optimized, but even then its damn hard to tell how exactly some things should be placed
Can someone pin this comment too?
oops didnt realize they were 2 split messages for whatever reason lol
ty stunthacks
@empty roost maybe merge them so theyre both visible please
like this ?
#1335897573516644466 message
yeah thank you
If you still remember: Did you start out in s110, or waited until you were further ahead with most of those runs?
107, 109, 110, 111 for 3 runs, 112 for 2 runs, then 113 for the rest
ah so you started rather early I see, thank you ๐
yep
np
I somehow can't add this example to the sheet, even so shortly before it still worked in a different case o0
B13, with 2.2x - 29
Cause of targeting priority :D
B16, 2.5 str, fleet advisor says this is sufficient for a FR 4 victory but I'm not seeing it
I was able to get this to work instead
38 used
Actually 28 with the setup in the spreadsheet
how many runs should i expect to clear the galaxy?
im 12 runs in and im just about to do the first boss battle
and im like halfway to the final battle
maybe 40%
you can probably find a lot of galaxy histories by searching one of the last battles here
it really depends whats ur sector, ive seen someone cleared B23 in 13 run, other is 17 and another in 20
i hate this game
undo and retry with 1 extra ship?
Question: What is recommended, rushing Fighters unlock with the starting resources?
how needed is r5 and r6 to complete g4? i feel like im about to finish up s3 and dont see any point of r5 and r6 besides resource dump, in which case after maxing s3 i shoudl just rush straight to boss battle yeah?
should be doable
if there aren't any S nodes or R nodes picked up that can give enough stats and resrouces to do the battle
r nodes give anything else besides the scraps?
i also realise that i need less and less fuel for battles / i can bring more and more? what is the cause of that?
you might have unga bunga'd your way here, lmao
less fuel per trip to a galaxy comes from completing nodes, since you get astrium fuel efficiency for the galaxy
right
r nodes, when leveled, give a fleet resoource multiplier to the base amout you bring
which is based on the highest sector ever reached across all reinforces
idk in what world R nodes gives scrap
D, B, and BB nodes give scrap as far as im aware
i dont mean they give scrap, the battles give out more scrap as reward right?
if you level the multipliers
if you have a multiplier of 1.0 and you level it up to 1.5, and you brought 500 FR this run, you bring 750 next time
assuming your max sector doesn't change
huh
What's a good deployment for B2 and 3? I can't seem to win.
you check the options in the spreadsheet? they worked for me
Yes, after I knew it existed. Even then, I had several failures.
are you meant to start galaxy 4 by investing in FF or GF first at the end of a run?
every history I've searched up for doesn't include either of them in run 1
I did my GF1 and FF1 in Run 3; saw someone who went much faster than I'm progressing, they did GF1 Run 1, FF1 Run 2, but where you do the GF FF upgrades I think is somewhat flexible, depending on how efficient you are and what you can afford otherwise
finally matched the advisor's 45 on B21, added to spreadsheet
what was your result?
oh a 45, I see.
I have a 43 result for 3.1 stats, should I add mine?
definitely, there's not one on the sheet that low yet
ok, then i have a few I can add for 3.1 stats that are missing
is there a way in Practice Mode to have it let you own more ships as though you've made appropriate progress to battle a specific node? I'm trying to recreate my layout for a node to put on the spreadsheet, but it's all wrong bc it thinks I only have access to the starting ships
if not, on my hopefully final run through G4 I'll be sure to carefully monitor and screenshot any battles i intend to add to the spreadsheet
if someone recently updated the fleet spreadsheet a bunch of pictures are shifted to the wrong cells
i'm going through correcting them
prob forgot to do the "put image in selected cell step" which has broken quite a few cells
B2 2.5x is showing a single frigate at position A1 with missiles/shield, but that's failing for me on 2.95x
and 2.95x has an empty cell below it
a single corvette with shields only at B5 A3 seems to give best results at 2.95x
anyone got any tips on how to beat the last base? where it unlocks unstable transit
this literally cant even beat the snipers so i guess its a placement issue
replacing the little ships with a cruiser gets me a bit of damage, but that will be like 10 runs at this point
The pinned message in this subchannel is a link to a Google spreadsheet that has screenshots of ideal runs for every battle sorted by your battle multiplier. The structure takes a little getting used to, but once you're there you can piece your way through this and every subsequent galaxy in a personalized way.
Perhaps I am unable to understand the google spreadsheet, but if my multiplier and units do not appear to be present on the spreadsheet for a battle the advisor says I can win, but I can't figure out the formation that does it, is that when I can come ask for help?
You can certainly ask if you like. Of course, maybe nobody will answer. ๐
If the guide gives you a path involving picking a corvette and a fighter along the way, then it's probably easier to back up and make that path work than trying to find a solution involving frigates -- even if that would allegedly save you a few FR
I did give up trying to make the one I was looking for work, but if I recall correctly it was B13 at 2.5 fleet buff, 1 normal fighter, 1 normal corvette, and 1 normal frigate.
I might be misremembering I've done a lot of fleet stuff in the last couple hours. But totally fair that people may not respond when I post for help, I was just double checking best practices
It's tricky because at most very few people can find a save game where they were doing G4 at 2.5x buff to test out some possibilities. AFAIK, the combat system is too chaotic for anyone to be good at predicting what the advisor is secretly looking at
At least I was able to find the missing picture that fit in the 2.2x battle for b13 (which did not add any additional clues)
I assume since the Advisor takes a variable amount of time to authenticate it is just running every single possible starting position very quickly
I suspect it remembers the specific design that spawned it and double-checks that it still works. I am given to believe that the fleet battles are using the full power of the Godot game engine and probably can't be sped up very much without giving the wrong answers.
It wasn't so long ago that the model of the ship that you used (like spacemas vs advanced) impacted the battle results in unpredictable ways.
Nifty
I mean I have personally experienced running the exact same setup a second time and getting a different result
You can freely change your battle multi in the fighting sim after you unlocked the node. So I doubt that's it.
DrWreckage just never posted any details about his ordeal
So even if someone was intrigued to solve the puzzle for him, he would have no starting point
any way to beat this level with only fighter and corvette? advisor says it is possible but i dont see how
my fleet stat is just 1
which battle is it? that part is cut out of your screenshot
oh it's B4 looks like - set your corvette on A2, fighter B2
what the solution for this can be? i did it with 5 ship but advisor says this 4 can do the job
B14, this configuration is the closest i got
i swear to god, i cant understand this levels with armored sniper at the back
Maybe a dumb question but what are the 1.3x 1.6x etc. referring to in the spreadsheets? Is that just your shipyard levels x 0.3?
It's your combat stats, coming from shipyards. It's shown in-battles in your top right
any builds for b23 after base is gone?
this is how i see it in practice, im missing a medium ship in A3 tho. you can surely do better but i didnt want to ๐
B16 with only 3 ships, somehow got it working
28/30 used
the suggestion is for 3.1 fleet stats, you still only have 2.5
S2
B23 3.1x 74(.95) (advisor was 78 w/ same ships)
-# no base repeat clears
What's the best way to modify my battles when I have higher fleet stats? I'm really only updating them all 1 or 2 times. I just went through and used the advisor at max fleet stats to manually lower the cost of each one combined with the spreadsheet if the setup needed tweaking
My run through Galaxy 4, needed 20 Runs total to gather all Artifacts. Someone who has an even slightly higher Multi for earned Artifacts can do it in less, because I was only a little bit short after 19 runs. Max Sector was 112.

this was mine, pretty sure no runs prior to S113
first post-S100 reinforce was at S109
I did go to S112 before reinforcing the first time
I'm not exactly sure if I didn't do a run or two before reaching 112, but definitely didn't reach higher before finishing
wow, im about to finalize b5 and hopefully peak into s110 before R-ing.
G4 is really expensive to travel too though.
and BB1 is such a weak upgrade... lol just an alright QoL
i am considering using the fuel i have to get enough artifacts to get a point each in cap stats, to help me reach S110.
getting A1 and A2 would net 39, which is enough for 3 cap stats and 2 compute levels. nice perk to carry into next R
looks like you invested in the Dmg and Health before doing R5 and R6
I'm at the situation that I have 780 Fleet Craps, but I dont know which one to invest in
nwm, i have tried both ways. Investing in Dmg and Health is the better way
I tested nothing, I optimized based on vibes ๐
anyone knows how to do this fight? I think the advisor is on crack and I am too stupid ๐
I think I am missing a mechanic or sth? I tried a lot of positions already
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yQTuvwcVDqKYyjG7fcPAUIeF-dvLbzYQ8iiC1TpLjA/edit?usp=sharing
from the pins
has that battle in it
thank you, now that i am on PC i noticed the other sheets in that document ๐
Looking for the B9 clear @ 2.2 with no L1/L2. Advisor has such a clear.
like that?
is there something like this google doc for G5?
yeah, it is in the pins there
i cant seem to find it - which channel has it pinned?
or at least its not as thourough as the G4 one^^ was hoping to find a guide like that which mentions the start as well
well there it is! thanks a lot!
only saw this one https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sGm5THsTJ1DLVjmFwm28Pbp_VCOjKw9yZ4VJXjaa-uk/edit?gid=1393317074#gid=1393317074
So, I wanted to practice a few battles
But, I have no access to other ships?
Like, how do I test a Fighter on B2?
Someone has beaten B9 using only 3 ships at 2.2 before unlocking Mini Rail Gun.
I already tried 172 different formations, no success ๐
280/720 tries
I hope it's a perfectly mirroed stage, otherwise I still have a lot of work to find it ๐
mirroring gives different results in fleet
Not always, many times I got perfectly mirroed stages
Depends on how the enemies are setup (be it the slots AB-1~5, or the number of ships)
I noticed lots of these on G3, on the maps that used the Capital ships
360/720 ๐
Unlucky
Finally!
I'd have saved a lot of time if I had followed my instincts.
Corvette always the last to die, and the ones that needed to defeat the Snipers.
Should have tried everything with them in the middle first.
I found two solutions on B10 2.2
- One requires no extra ship from L1/L2, and it's 25,44
- But, there is one that requires a Corvette, at 25,04
Should I add both? Or only one, if so, which?
fractional FR doesn't actually matter, so I'd probably just add the no extra ship one and call it good, unless the corvette one is also a new best at a higher or lower stat level
Boss cleared in 14 runs
Started on S110, messed a bit on the first couple or three runs, could have done it in 13 if I was smarter
I'm not sure if I'm missing something massive or G4 is just borked after an update, but it seems to me that there are a LOT of advisors that are just straight-up incorrect
Like for B19, it's suggesting 2 Frigates, and it's not even close. Even the pinned sheet (which I just discovered) has 1 frigate, 2 corvettes, and a cruiser
I agree there is something strange i am just at the start but there are some ships configs and numbers that i can not get to that or i miss something In some of the first 3 fights the advisor say 5 mats less used than i had i still not found it out how.
Is there a guide released for this galaxy yet? I just got to it and called a time out because I am tired. haha
Dont believe so, there is a spreadsheet in the pins for battles though
Welp, I will tackle it another day. Too much on my life plate currently. Thanks for the info!
